Is Wande Coal Leaving Mavin Records?

It seems there’s about to be another big artist leaving a big record label for a solo career on the Nigerian music scene. Even though no official word has been heard from both camps, the rumor mill has been churning out – ‘Wande Coal will be leaving Mavin Records’
Yesterday, tongues began to wag again when Wande Coal‘s new single, “Kilaju” leaked online prematurely even though it had been available on MTN caller tunes weeks before.

Some rumors began to fly that Don Jazzy not producing “Kilaju” was reason enough to suspect a split. Easily, those can be found to be unsubstantiated as in fact, since Mavin Records started, Don Jazzy‘s artistes have been ‘allowed’ to use other producers. As such,  it wasn’t a big shock that he was collaborating with Star Boy Entertainment‘s Maleek Berry, who also produced “My Way” that dropped a few months ago.

There was no mention of Mavin on the cover art so does that mean Wande Coal may be leaving Mavin records? Possibly. There’s a saying – “when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me” and as such, I wouldn’t advice any one of us to jump the gun until we get an official statement. But, with Don Jazzy and the Mavin online PR team keeping very quiet about the new song, I think we already know what is about to happen.
