2013 has been a year of various splits and breakups in the Nigerian Music Scene .In this year alone, there have been high profile splits/ disagreements (some still unconfirmed) between record labels/ management and artistes such as Wizkid, Wande Coal, Jesse Jagz, Brymo, Vector, Naeto C, Chuddy K and more.

As the year ends in some hours , i am writing this post on TOP BREAKUPS in the music industry .

EME/WIZKID



This was a Breakup Of Life . It was a surprise to everyone how this happened. Well Wizkid grew up quickly than expected and became a Man. Kudos to him . Most people thought and still thinks that he was the one that added the spice to EME record. Wizkid formed his own label – STAR BOY RECORDS. He has been doing well since then . If you missed on the whole gist , then read THE UNTOLD STORY



So do you think he should have left ?? Has EME been same since his departure ? Lots of question to answer

PSQUARE/MAYD

psquare split with may d

Another Split was that of May D leaving Square Records. August 2013. It was said that May D was not happy at square records and he felt that they were not doing much for his career. A press release said

“I, JUDE ‘ENGEES’ OKOYE of Square Records Limited and Northside Entertainment Limited hereby announces to the general public that Mr. Akinmayokun Awodumila, otherwise known as MAY D is no longer an artiste under the aforementioned outfits due to irreconcilable differences. We at Northside and Square Records wish him all the best in his career and life.”

CHOCOLATE CITY /BRYMO



The Bug hit Chocolate city twice as not too long after Jesse Jags left ,Brymo also left May 2013. He left the record label and released a new album, Mechant Dealers & Slaves in October . It was not a mutual breakup as Chocolate city insisted that he was still with them under his contract till 2016 . It was that bad that it beacame a Legal case .

It was said that when Chocolate City consistently failed to fulfill its obligations under the contract and rather than resolve amicably, the label is devising strategies to ensure that the Artiste remains unproductive.

“I’ve been very loyal to the contract, working hard to be heard, but I’ve been cheated by Chocolate City,” Brymo lamented.

CHOCOLATE CITY /JESSE JAGZ



The breakup Bug hit Chocolate city badly this year, starting with Jesse Jagz march 2013. He Left and formed his own Record Label , Jesse Jags Nation .Jesse Jagz, 28, was signed to the label along with his elder brother Jude ‘M.I’ Abaga in 2008.

Although it came as quite a shock to plenty of people close sources to Jesse Jagz and Chocolate City tell us war has been brewing between the ‘Wetin dey’ singer and the hip-hop label.
According to a reliable source, Jagz, ‘was fed up with the way the label was handling his career and decided to frustrate them in return.’

There were allegedly two major accusations the label made against ‘Jargo’; the first that he was financially indebted to them.
‘Choc City said Jargo owed them money, there were several cases where he would travel to the North for a gig and wouldn’t bring back anything to the label. At times, he would claim they paid him just to appear and that didn’t hold under his contractual agreement’.
The second was his sustained substance abuse. There are very strong claims that Jesse Jagz, a truly talented rapper and producer, is a Marijuana addict.
