“That man took me from absolutely nothing. I wonder why anyone would think it wasn’t amicable. The end of the contract came; I wanted to leave, and he (Don Jazzy) gave me his blessings,” Reekado said on his departure.

The musician also addressed the custom of musicians and record labels fighting in Nigerian music and how this has given rise to rumors of a split with Mavin Records.

“I feel like it’s a tradition in the Nigerian record label business for artists to breakout angrily from their record labels, and this is being imposed on my relationship with Jazzy,” Reekado Banks said of the assumptions surrounding his departure.
