The
fact that Wizkid’s days at E.M.E are numbered has been an open secret all
along. The question, really, has been: how soon would it be made official? If
the pop star’s recent interview on ‘The Truth’ with Olisa Adibua is anything to
go by, then the time is here already.‘ Yes, this is pretty much my last album
with E.M.E’ Wizkid says. As it stands now, Wizkid, already the C.E.O of Starboy
Records has just one more obligation to fulfil with E.M.E and that is
delivering one more album which should drop in a matter of weeks. Speaking on
his relationship with the label that groomed and launched him into stardom, he
said ‘we are still family, we would still continue doing business together,
Banky, Tunde and Segun Demuren are all like my big brothers, it’s a family thing,
so we’ll definitely keep doing business.’ When asked how soon he’ll quit the
label, Wizkid explained: ‘I’ve been with E.M.E for 5 years, so I don’t know
what soon is, because when we started the whole Empire entertainment thing, it
was to build an empire so everyone could grow, Skales is doing his thing, Banky is doing his thing
too, we got Shaydee and Niyola, I got Starboy going on, so everyone is just
trying to expand and grow at the end of the day. ’The singer had unsuccessfully
tried to leave the label in 2012, causing huge media and legal drama that saw
him do the right thing: stay back. Interestingly, he also confirms that his
debut on his own Starboy imprint will drop by December2014 as well
