Iyanya Ditches Ubi Franklin,  Signs With New Label

1

Signs of trouble in paradise first became evident few weeks ago after Iyanya announced he was setting up his own label but he shot down that rumours of an impending split from his business partner of 5years Ubi Franklin at that time.

But now, his latest move yesterday evening shows that things have certainly gone sour between the one time best buds.

The kukere crooner  on Wednesday evening announced on his Instagram page that he has signed on with a new management, Temple Management Company. Prior to now, he was under Ubi Franklin’s MadeMenMusic.

Iyanya in his statement making the announcement tried to sugar coat his reason for moving on, but MDB can authoritatively tell you that the two-Iyanya and Ubi-have been having issues for sometime now and it has to do with money.  

However since Iyanya wants his fans to think that he his leaving on peaceful and amicable terms,  we will leave it at that… lol.

Read his statement below:

Dear fans, I am pleased to announce that I have now signed on with Temple Management Company. About a year ago, Ubi and I discussed options to diversify our business interests and creative visions and we both agreed that we would explore all avenues open to us. So much has happened since and I have now completed work on my new album which will be released under a new record label. With both @thetemplecompany and the new album, I am now embarking in a direction which will not only bring you the same quality, verve and energy that you have become accustomed to, it will take things to the next level. Ubi remains my brother and we both look forward to this new phase of our careers. God bless you all.

All the best Iyanya!

    Mind your language, ditch makes it feel like he betrayed UBA, but the statement from both parties state otherwise.
    I’ll prefer you use the words “split amicable”.
    The only thing constant in life is change, and 20 friends can not play together for 20yrs…

    All the best to my man IYANYA
