Oluwaseyitan Aletile, professionally known as Seyi Law, a popular Nigerian comedian, has urged record label owners in the country against harming the lives and careers of signees who decide to leave their franchise.
The comedian urged music executives to know when to let go rather than becoming the ‘alpha and omega’ over artists.
The comedian said this after the death of former Marlian Music signee Mohbad on Tuesday, just a year after his contentious divorce from the Naira Marley-owned record label.
“In life, we win some and lose some,” Seyi Law posted on his X account. Record label executives (indeed, senior colleagues in the entertainment industry) must know when to let go. ‘I’m leaving’ should not be considered a death sentence. Make yourself the alpha and omega above everyone whose talent you did not provide.
“Some of you have sworn that the talents that left you will never rise. You block them from radio, tv, and shows. You call the shots because you are mini gods. Nobody fit beg you. Ok o.
“In your gatherings, anyone who can’t smoke or drink is not man enough. Drugs everywhere. The young ones must blend in. People who have no business in entertainment are in control of young destinies because of cultism. Nobody hold una o.
“I remember when Ruggedman spoke about Naira Marley. Many celebrated the attack on him in London. Today, we are demanding accountability from Naira Marley. Police should do their work.
“Don’t kill another man to live because everybody will go one way or another. Your wealth isn’t a tool to buy another man’s life.”
