Don't pass without typing R. I. P 😢 😭
Plea for Justice: Lady speaks out, questioning mysterious death of a young Lady found in hotel yesterday.

She wrote: "Yesterday, we got the sad news of the death of this young lady, the sister of my dear friend Tijani Onimisi

the trivial trailing her death is worrisome....
from the report, she walked into the hotel with a random man, but was later found dead in the hotel and the whereabouts of the mystery man is nowhere to be found..

here are questions begging for answers:

1. why are the reporters trying so hard to hide the name of the hotel???

2. where's the details of the said mystery man? are hotels not supposed to take necessary details of their clients in case of eventualities?

3. is she a regular visitor in that hotel with different Men?

4. how are we sure the hotel management does not have a hand in this tragedy?? they're a huge suspect!

5. who is the receptionist? who gave the man room??

people visit hotels for different reasons, like meetings, visitation, relaxation, quiet time, dates and all, but in okene, everyone believes anyone who walks into a hotel went there to fornicate or went for a hookup appointment..

back to this young lady's issue, if the hotel couldn't provide the man she went there with, how are we sure she was killed by a man...?
if she was killed by a man, where's the man's identity?

are we going to sit back and normalize the brutal killing of innocent ladies with a lame and disdain justification like prostitution/hukup?

I see people already judging the dead with baseless accusations because she can no longer defend herself.

I hope your sisters don't become a victim of the evil you support today....

remember that if this issue is swept under the carpet with no proper investigation especially at the crime scene, know that more of this will suffice and it is going to get worse...!

I implore the authorities to take this matter seriously and investigate thoroughly till the perp

WHY DID ASAKE LEAVE YBNL & FIREBOY DML STAYED?

Will you say it’s because Asake had issues with Olamide and might assume he was being ripped off?

These questions open up today’s discussion.

"UNDERSTANDING ARTIST CONTRACTS & EXTENSIONS"

Fireboy DML signed to YBNL in October 2018 and became one of the label’s biggest success stories. Four years later, in 2022, Asake also got signed to YBNL and had an explosive breakout—dominating charts with hit after hit. Due to the global acceptance of Afrobeats during his breakout year, it can be argued that Asake had a faster rise than Fireboy DML internationally.

Just after 2 years (2022 to 2024), Asake has already parted ways and flaunted his own label outfit, "Giran Republic."
Why didn’t Fireboy DML do likewise by leaving after 2 years? Why is he still with the label after almost 7 years?

The answer? Their contracts were likely different—and that’s the first lesson for every upcoming artist.

♦️ NO TWO ARTISTS HAVE THE SAME CONTRACT

Just because two artists are signed to the same label doesn’t mean they have the same deal.
Labels structure deals based on the artist’s goals, their bargaining power, and the label’s investment at the time of signing.

For example:

One artist might sign a 2-year distribution deal with an option for extension.

Another might sign a 5-album recording contract with different splits and obligations.

So comparing timelines without knowing the terms is like comparing two houses based only on how long someone lived in them—not the rent or ownership.

Another reason why Fireboy DML stayed longer might be “Triggering an Extension.”
For people who are conversant with football, you might hear clubs include it in the contract of players.

So what does it mean?

Most modern artist contracts come with options for renewal or extension. These options are usually in the hands of the label.

The label may choose to extend the deal if the artist is doing well, or both parties can include it with a renegotiation clause. At that point, the label’s input and output will be less than the initial contract.
This might likely be what happened between YBNL and Fireboy DML.

There’s nothing wrong with being signed to a label long-term—as long as you’re meeting your career goals.

Justin Bieber was signed to Def Jam from 2008 to 2021 (13 years)

Ed Sheeran is still signed to Asylum/Atlantic Records since 2011 (same label with Burna Boy)

Beyoncé, despite her superstar status, has been with Columbia Records even before she went solo from Destiny’s Child—20+ years

Unlike Fireboy DML, Asake may have signed a shorter-term deal (e.g., 2 projects or 24 months) and chose not to renew—perhaps to gain more independence or launch his own platform.

📌 KEY LESSONS FOR UPCOMING ARTISTS:

♦️ Know What You’re Signing
Ask questions. Understand the length, the splits, and the exit strategy.

♦️ Don’t Assume All Labelmates Are Treated the Same
Your deal is your deal. Custom-tailored, negotiated, and built around your leverage.

♦️ Success Doesn’t Mean You Must Leave or Stay
Asake chose to leave; Fireboy chose to stay. Both are successful in their own way.

♦️ Understand Contract Extensions
Always ask if your deal has automatic renewal clauses or if you need to trigger it with new negotiations.

♦️ Think Long-Term, Not Just Fast Fame
It’s not just about blowing—it’s about building something that works for you.

📌 FINAL THOUGHT

Whether you’re planning to stay long-term with a label like Fireboy or move on like Asake, what matters most is clarity—in your contract, in your goals, and in your vision.

The best decision is not about time—it’s about alignment.

"HOW TO BUILD A STRONG TEAM AROUND YOU AFTER GETTING SIGNED – MANAGERS, LAWYERS & ROAD TEAM."

25/04/2025

Rema's manager, Sean Okeke, was an associate of D'Prince at Jonzing World before he was assigned to manage Rema. Basically, he was employed by the label rather than by the artist. In fact, almost every member of Rema’s team was picked by the label.

Now look at Burna Boy. From his Aristokrat Records days to his current international deal with Warner Music through Atlantic Records, his mother, Bose Ogulu, has been his manager. His sisters, Nissi and Ronami, are also part of his core team. It’s more of a family affair—and he handpicked almost every other member of his team himself, and it worked for him as well.

So, who made the better choice? Rema or Burna?

That’s today’s lesson.

HOW TO BUILD A STRONG TEAM AROUND YOU AFTER GETTING SIGNED OR BLOWING

Getting signed or having a hit song changes everything. That’s the point where your need for a proper team becomes urgent—but here’s the mistake many artists make:

They either rely completely on the label to build that team or try to force friends into positions they’re not ready for.

Let’s break it down:

1. THE MANAGER – YOUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE

Your manager is like your coach, your gatekeeper, and your strategist. They protect your interest—even when dealing with the label.

The trap? Many artists allow the label to assign them a manager. While that’s not always a bad thing, it can easily lead to conflict of interest. Labels may assign experienced managers, but those managers might not understand you. On the flip side, you may want your loyal friend to manage you—but they may lack the experience or network to handle real business.

Shallipopi claimed conflict of interest with Dapper, simply because his manager was picked by the label—which means the manager may be more loyal to the label than to him.

Your manager should work for YOU, and communicate transparently with the label—not be caught in between.

To avoid drama, your record deal should have a clause allowing either you or the label to request a management change if the assigned or handpicked manager isn’t performing.
For example: if Sean Okeke wasn’t delivering, Rema should’ve had the right to request a change during contract renewal. But interestingly, he chose to retain him.

Look for a manager who:

Knows the business

Can say NO to bad deals

Understands timing and long-term strategy

Will not be intimidated by “industry people”

Has soft skills (check my earlier post on this—it’s on my wall)

2. THE LAWYER – YOUR SILENT POWER

Most African artists don’t even know their lawyer’s name. Some don’t even HAVE a lawyer.

But ask yourself: Who reads your contract before you sign it?

Even a short 1-hour consultation with a real music lawyer can save your entire career.

A lawyer is not just for lawsuits. A good entertainment lawyer will:

Negotiate fair splits

Spot shady clauses

Secure your royalties

Make sure you understand your exit options

Pro tip: Your cousin who studied law but doesn’t understand music business is not your entertainment lawyer.

3. THE ROAD TEAM – YOUR STRUCTURE ON THE MOVE

Your music can be amazing, but poor stage coordination or logistics can ruin everything.

Your road team includes your:

Road manager

Tour assistant

Personal assistant

These people help you:

Show up on time

Stay protected from event promoter wahala

Avoid overbooking or double booking

Prevent chaotic performance routines

Ask any successful act who’s been active in shows and live performance—a weak road team can finish you before you finish performing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Getting signed is not the destination, it’s the starting line.
A solid team gives you leverage, structure, and protection.
Don't build your music career like a one-man business.
Surround yourself with people who know what you don't.

FINAL THOUGHT

Whether you’re a street sensation, an Instagram freestyler, or a former choir boy turned Afrobeats star—the day you get signed or have a hit song is the day your team becomes your engine, and no one knows when that day will come.

No matter how big the label is, you need your own loyal, competent people behind you. That’s how stars last.
