Is Sony Music 🎶 Trying To Destroy Wizkid’s Career? – Read This And Share Your Opinion
In 2017, we witnessed a lot of iconic moments from “The Real Starboy” 🙌
He performed at the World Biggest
Stages, entered the Guinness World Book of Records, won several international awards, became the first African to sell out the Royal Albert Hall and also ending the year on a good note.
However, Nigerians are wondering, how canWizkidrelease a whole albumwithout any videoto show for it 😳😳
We expected hits likeAfrican Bad GyalandPicture Perfectto get videos, butWizkidprobably constricting himself to the label’s terms and conditions did not release any videos.
Weeks after releasing SFTOS, Wizkid release three singles;Odoo,Medicine
andMedicine Remix. Wizkid promised three videos, however no video was done for the three songs.
Fast Forward to November 2017,WizkidreleasedManya, a beautiful sample to VVIP’s song, Ahomka Wemu. What got us skeptical was the fact that it was a collaborative effort between him and Legendury Beatz (Mutay).
Why wasMutayincluded?Wizkidprobably had to feature Mutay in the song (who obviously didn’t produce the Song or sang just to camouflage and scam Sony into believingMutaywas the owner of the song).
However, when the video was uploaded to YouTube onWizkid’s Vevo, it was removed due to a clause inWizkid‘sSonyDeal which states that there’s a limitation in the amount of local content he can release.
To further give credence to this fact, who remembers when in 2016,Davidohad to wait for 9 months until he could release new content. He ranted at them
on Snapchat was left frustrated and his eventual output,Son Of Mercy EPwas slept on and didn’t receive enough appeal from the fans.
Davidohad to re-negotiate his contract to allow him release songs anytime he liked. Davido gave us 3 Hits in 2017!
To further compound his problems, Wizkid’s soon to be released track, Soco is a feature involving him and 3 other artistes. Obviously, this was also done to make Sony believe it’s just a collaborative effort and not his own personal input.
Nice move, a video is to be released for the song withWizkidintroducing the
best Shaku Shaku dancers from Nigeriafor the song which was supposed to be Wizkid’s track alone!
Well, if you don’t believe this, why didn’t “Every Time” by Wizkid featuringFutureget a video?
Wizkiddidn’t promote the song, released the song for free on Soundcloud and no visuals for the song. It was one of the potential hit songs
that was slept on in 2017.
Our question now is 👇
Is Sony Music Inhibiting Wizkid From Releasing New Songs?
Is There A Part Of The Contract We Need To Understand And Won’t This Affect Wizkid In 2018?
