Reekado Banks had no choice than to leave Mavins Records.
Music is a business and no record label is ready to keep on sponsoring an artiste for much longer than is profitable.

Most artiste make money for their labels within the first to third year after signing on to a label or after 3 successive successful albums .It takes an exceptional talented and marketable artiste to keep being relevant and making hits after hits for more than 3 years and every label knows that.
Most record label bosses knows that the music business is fast paced and dynamic and the taste of consumers change.
That's why lots of hot artistes that were reigning in the past are no longer fan favourites.
So most labels invest and promote an artiste for a couple of years and make money off them and generally stop making them a priority when their ratings drop. So if the artiste contract is still running,the label just lets them sit it out unless the artiste and their managers (that is if they have independent managers) are willing to put in their own personal money to put out records and promote them.

Obviously Reekado Banks would have seen the handwriting on the wall and decided to take his destiny in his hands.

However most young artiste who feel like they are very talented and have made money for their labels often jump ship and form their own labels so they can maximize their own personal profit.
Most times these artiste often overestimate their own talent and underestimate the resources and connection that is necessary to maintain their star status in the industry. Thus after they go independent for a number of years and carry their own weight for that long,they fade out cos they can't cope.
My two cents

Please when you are naming artist who are doing badly, don't ever in your life mention D'banj's name.
Don't ever in your life!

Truth be told reekado has gone down, there is something about Marvins and ybnl any very few artiste remain relevant after leaving this record lable,reekado,davolee,picazo,lilkesh,were are they?

Meanwhile instead of wasting time writing jamb over and over why not try yabatech part-time then use the result for direct entry to any university in Nigeria? The part-time Is now out to close October 31, if interested click the below link to get our contact https://www.nairaland.com/6786405/yabatech-partime-form-2021-2022#106505819

YBNL is set as a platform for talented young artists. And they have remained on that mission ever since. Lil Kesh is doing well, Adekunle is doing well too. Fireboy will leave and still do well.

Picazzo and his cohorts were never signed. Davolee and Lyta had issues with the label and it was their fault.

TMusicP:
We understand that most people were surprised when Reekado Banks left Mavin Records. We had many boys and girls who told us that Reekado Banks departure would affect his music career. Some people believed that Reekado Banks was nearsighted for leaving Mavin Records, if he was farsighted; he would have taken a drop to the future and see that he was only jeopardizing his career.


Whereas some people believed that his decision was an excellent one, which would really help to escalate his music career. All we have to say is ....it would be thoughtful for artists to make great arrangements and fully understand the music industry, before leaving their records label. Early Days of Reekado Banks Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon with his stage name as "Reekado Banks".

Reekado Banks is a Nigerian singer that has won so many awards. He is also a songwriter and performer. In 2014, he got a tremendous win, he was signed into Mavin Records. In 2016, Reekado Bank’s 21 -track debut album, Spotlight Album was released. The project was no ordinary one; it got to the 10th spot on Billboard’s world chart and reached the best album of the year at the headies.

Fascinating things about Reekado Banks As an Afrobeat singer, he started to pen down his songs just in 2008, his brother inspired him to start singing, he then added melodies and began to create songs. He noted that by doing these, he was happy and fulfilled.

His first year of being signed into the Mavin Records, he featured in ‘Dorobucci’, ‘Adaobi' , ‘Chop am'. He pointed that he makes music that connects with reality, sounds that excite and uplift ...that is just his style of music in a nutshell. He also released his most recent Body of work tagged “Off The Record EP” on November 27 2020.

He adores Afrobeat legends like Fela Kuti and Salif Keita. He also believes Wande Coal and Wizkid has really opened another gateway to Nigerian Music. He also believes that being an Afrobeat artist helps one explore more and make interesting sounds like R&B, Afropop. He had mentioned that whatever he makes will definitely have an Afrobeat in it because it’s just natural. It’s in him the vibes, the melody, would always find its way to his root.

Reekado Banks’s Exit From Mavin Records After 5 years with Mavin Records, he left on December 7, 2018. He shared the news to his fans stating “ Today I write in tears, not from a place of pain , but of joy and gratitude”. It had been spreading around like wildfires and was later confirmed by Reekado Banks himself. A post he shared on his Instagram page on Friday, December 7th, He informed his followers of his decisions and future plans. He did acknowledge that the last five years he had been with Mavin Records was indeed the most blissful years of his career.

The journey was filled with colourful experiences and unforgettable memories. He did mention that being with the Mavin Records family was the most beautiful thing that has happened to him. He sighted how Don Jazzy helped to skyrocket his career and he promised to be eternally grateful.

Life for Some Artists and Reekado Banks after Exiting Their Record Label Some artists believe that exiting their record label means automatic growth, it would help them become better with their music career. In most cases, it is not usually that easy. These artists find themselves turning right, then left, the walls were farther apart out here and oddly shaped they have discovered. That is why it would be thoughtful for artists to set objectives and planning before leaving their records label. If they don’t, they would end up looking like lost puppies. The artists should make sure that after leaving their records label, they have access to resources that would help boost their development and recognition.

They must get work done, be focused on their performance, promotion and rewards. They need the competencies required to get work done.

Ways to do these include:

- Make sure you have access to good producers. At least, that would make the transition smooth.

- List of learning and development activities that will be undertaken to achieve each objective.

- Identification of resources and support needed to implement the plan successfully.

- Identification of barriers and difficulties that might be encountered and ideas on how to overcome them.

Artist like D'banj since his departure from Mavin records/Mo Hits, he has been making/releasing songs but people barely hear about those songs. His career seems to be in the mud now, and he is trying really hard to stay relevant. Tiwa Savage was smart enough to plan her way all through the end before exiting from the record label. She is out here staying relevant and releasing good songs with both local and international artists.

As for Wande Coal, even after his rough departure from Mavin, he is still out there doing well for himself , simply because he made good decisions that align with his career success. Reekado Banks has been releasing cool music and trying to stay relevant. Since his departure, he has released too many songs like Need More , Omo Obomo, Mama , amongst others.

Taking the scary bold decision to leave Mavin Records in pursuit of bigger opportunities is something he doesn’t find easy, but has to do for his growth. Everyone has to expand and move in different directions. It is fantastic and amazing seeing him do what he really wants to do.

The good news is this.......We believe Reekado Banks songs will be part of Nigeria afrobeat scene for a very long time

Ski Banj is doing excellently well! Wande the voice god is doing well, too.

adioolayi:
It's not been so easy for artists that left Marvin or YBNL records..few exceptions ....Tiwa, Adekunle Gold and Phyno

Phyno was never with YBNL. Baddoo's influence was just a great help in his career. Ghost Mode got him the fame and money. Ever since that he maintained good relationship with Olamide business wise and in many ways too.

Phyno was just a friend of the Label.

Kiddogarcia:
they all left low-key after losing it

May be ,my be not .... SID is richer today than he was as an active artist , same with Dprince.
Dija got married and immediately Bagan rating family. DNA are anchoring programme , don't know for Koredo .... But if he is still with them then he must be making money through other means ...

Remember ,Jazzy produces a lot of advert jingles for big advertising firms

Megatrix:

It's true, spotlight hit number 10 on what was called the Billboard world chart then or the global 200 now. CKay's album is currently number 4 on that same chart now. I don't know why you all always down grade our artistes and never believe when they achieve great things.

People alway imagine the world revolves around them

Isn't it crazy when you see some affiliate advert and wonder who is going to buy this monsese yet somebody where pays for that nonsesme

The net is just something else

Naija artists can leave record labels to start their own sha. Beyonce has been with Colombia records for years now despite being a big star with her own businesses. But within one year of coming to limelight, a Nigerian artist would leave his label to start his own. The label bosses too are not trying

this topic is about growth in music not money making bro,reeky too might be making money, but musically he's not there anymore

TUBLEZ:
But korode bello, dija, Dr sid,dna twins,crayon are all still in mavin without any impact while some artiste like kizz Daniel,tiwa savage,adekunle gold,skibi, lax ,simi are doing well after existing from thier labels

Remove lax and skibi from that list

sometimes i think about him and sean tizzle,may d they were so promising mehn
but i don't believe some artiste faded because they left a particular record label
most of them dont just make it after leaving their record label because they don't know what next to do and they relent in recording too much
their are many artiste out there that aren't in any popular label and are doing well,many are in popular and a very good label with good producers and can't even make 1 hit
davido has helped may d with everything,but wetin he dey sing
wizkid left eme,kizz daniel left g worldwide,tiwa left this same mavin,davido left hkn,many more
and are doing well afterward
for me its not about leaving a good label

Kiddogarcia:

They ride to fame on their bosses wings now if u must stand on ur own and be successful u must be just as good as ur boss/group or better.

Donjazzy spoon-fed those his children for too long they didn’t know how to fish for themselves and became useless.

austinelex:
dprince owns rema for real

yes Rema and ruger

Gabe427:
What Don't jazzy does to his artist in Mavin's is far more than making musicians he makes starts and celbrites recognized world wide.

Rema & Ayarr star good example when big brand need accountability they go to recocrd labels with structure and management not one you'll be hearing dragging on social media after words. Rekaddo F up big time he was one of the most favoured artist by Don't jazzy

something tells me don jazzy is more of a snake than ppl realize coz of those generous give aways to repair his image

baba abeg don't disrespect AG like that. AG is the only musician that has my full respect. He pushes good sensible contents unlike David with zero talent only survives on clout.

Right now like this only one artist is. Big threat to the others .... guess who?
