Nigerian singer, Iyanya‘s record deal with Jay Z‘s owned company, ROC Nation has just been all but confirmed.
Iyanya has spent the better part of the past two days dropping snippets and subtle hints about snagging a deal with the New York based label.
Social media posts, pictures, hashtags, memes and the likes has already been used by the recent Mavins signee to point fans in one direction – ROC Nation.
In some of the photos, he even sat on the same sofa that Tiwa Savage sat on back in July 2016 when she signed her management deal with the same label.
Iyanya is however still in New York and can’t be immediately reached for comments, but according to an online report, attempts were made to reach out to his management in Nigeria, The Temple Management Company.
And the company’s media officer, a former seasoned journalist, Mr Femi Salawu confirmed the rumors with a carefully worded statement that reads:
‘TMC and Mavin Records are focused on building bridges globally for the benefit of our talents. Both Companies’ primary objective is to continually maximise the opportunities in the African continent as well as explore and develop new frontiers across the globe. Strategic international partnerships are key in achieving these objectives aimed at raising the profile of Mavin’s talents and our other talents. As the world is a global village, we are positioned as global players in the industry in bridging all divides globally. We will provide a detailed press release in due course’.
It’s now safe to say after 3-months with Don Jazzy’s Mavin records, Iyanya is finally ‘Up to something’.
Congratulations…
