An official statement from
Mavin Records regarding Wande Coal's exit from the label...
It is with deep regret that
we officially announce the departure of recording artist Wande Ojosipe,
popularly known as Wande Coal, from Mavin Records due 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
