“This development is a shock to all of us because Wande
Coal is like our brother. Basically, we will keep the flag flying. No
hard feelings and no bad blood. Like I said, we are all brothers. We
will definitely find a way to get things sorted out.” he said
See excerpts below:
You are a member of Mavin group. How do you feel about the goings-on in the group?
Mavin is not just my label, it is my family. It is my home and I am
happy with it. I am enjoying my contract because I am working with a
great set of people who share the same vision with me about my career.
So, everybody is working to take the label to an enviable height and I
know God is in control of our affairs. From the boss to the least person
on the label, we all work together as one big family. We always make
sure we produce good music that people will always say good things
about. You must have noticed that we know how to do it, that’s why
everybody appreciates anything that comes out of that label. What
matters in life is how happy you are with what you are doing and who you
are working with. For me, I am very happy and satisfied with what I am
doing under Mavin records.
Are you happy with the way things are going, considering the fact it was formed after the break up of Mo’hits?
There is nothing special about it. You heard in the news just like I
did. It is one of those things that happen with any successful record
label. It is not peculiar to Mavin. Mavin remains stronger than before.
Everybody is working and we are moving ahead. That somebody left or that
somebody may leave tomorrow, does not mean we should all stand down and
look. This is one big happy family; whatever happens, we have to stick
together so that we can fashion out the way forward; not to dwell on
what happened in the past. That will only take us back.
What does this unfortunate development portend for Mavin as a group?
You know this is like a business and you can’t always foresee what might
happen to you or your partner. You won’t even know where your
relationship is heading to until it ends one day. But at the end of the
day, you just have to give thanks to God for the gift of life because
that’s what matters to me. As long as I have my life, I can always find
my way through whatever challenge that comes my way. You can’t run away
from things like this, but your ability to deal with it is the most
important thing. You will agree with me that at the end of the day, you
have got only your life to look after. I f you lose it, you are
finished. I just thank God for my life, that’s all I can say. T
Will this not affect your relationship with Wande Coal?
I don’t see it that way. Wande is my brother. We see each other at least
every other day. I have no problem with Wande. The relationship remains
as cordial as before. If you know the kind of relationship that exists
between us, I am sure you won’t be saying this. That he decided to leave
does not mean it will affect our relationship; it won’t. Break-up or no
break-up, you have to be thankful to God for the good life He has
blessed you with. Whether we like it or not, we remain one big family.
From D’Banj to Don Jazzy, Wande Coal, me, Dr Sid and Tiwa Savage, I want
our fans to continue to pray for us. It will mean a lot to the group
right now.
Is there any difference between the defunct Mo’hits and the current Mavin group?
When you hear Mavin, you hear Mo’hits because this is something that has
been on for a long time. We didn’t just start yesterday. People love us
because they know we will give them positive music as we have been
churning it out since day one. My last album is barely a year old and
you can see how far it has gone.
