Singer Reacts To Reported Fued With MI

Nigerian artiste, Olayiwola Kokumo, popularly known as Koker, has spoken on why he ended his recording contract with rapper MI Abaga’s Chocolate City record label.

He made the clarification following reports that he was no longer tied to the record label which had triggered reactions, with some saying he had personality issues with MI, while others felt he was not given much attention during his four-year stay.

Koker, in a statement issued through his manager, Ibrahim Bello, debunked all rumours saying that he had a very cordial relationship with MI.

He said, “We have a very cordial relationship. When it’s time for business we work and vice versa. We have had a lot of performances together and if you look at MI, he’s on an entirely different lane. He is the leader of the team and all he does is discover, breed talents and give them the best possible exposure he could.”

Speaking on the alleged lack of attention by the label, Koker said, “Everyone was given at least a decent level of presence on the scene. I had solid hits back to back, which supported the efforts of the label and I knew the importance of needing to prioritise and lending my strength to the label.”

The artiste revealed he still had a very solid relationship with the label, because the resolution reached at the end of the contract was for both parties to remain as a family.
