Mavin Record Issues Official Statement on Wande Coal's Exit

Wande-Coal-Mavin

About 2days ago, (unfortunately on my birthday lol,) Donjazzy and one of his former artiste Wande Coal was involved in a twitter fight, least we all expected though, people have been ranting on twitter, saying it was too childish for Don jazzy to have attacked Wande Coal on twitter but in my own opinion I don't think Donjazzy did anything wrong. He has every right to be irritated if his sound was stolen. Slap a man, punch a man but never steal his intellectual work

See the official press release from Mavin below
It is with deep regret that we officially announce the departure of recording artist Wande Ojosipe, popularly known as Wande Coal, from Mavin Recordsdue to irreconcilable differences.
Over the past few months, Mavin Records has made a concerted move to consolidate its position in the Nigerian music industry. Mavin has pursued a renewed ethos to raise its standards of quality and professionalism to a world-class level. Wande’s vision has not aligned with ours and a few months ago all parties mutually agreed that a separation would be the best course of action.
Legal parties on both sides have spent the past six months trying to reach an amicable solution in terms of musical property rights. However the decision by Wande Coal to release BABY FACE purportedly as his own material is a direct breach of intellectual property law and compelled an immediate clarification on our part.
Both Mavin Records and Wande Coal have enjoyed a remarkable run in the course of their working relationship. It is unfortunate that conflicting priorities contributed to the premature curtailment of a hitherto fruitful accord.
Mavin Records reaffirms its goal to constantly provide high quality music to our fans and introduce new and exciting talent into the industry.
We wish Wande Coal the best of luck in all his future endeavours.
Signed
Management
Mavin Records Ltd

  1. It appears everyone is looking for authority and seems both parties wants control and will be difficult to control them.
