Rema: “When I was signed to a Mavins record label, they didn’t want me to open a business. They didn’t want me to build a house, everything I wanted to get, they were checking it. They didn’t even want to see me with a girlfriend.”

You might feel Rema said all this, but that’s not true. We just want to use this opportunity to sensitize the fans and upcoming artists about some types of record deals our artists sign.

When you sign a record deal, the record label gives you a huge amount of money. It’s just like an investment loan from a bank. Before you take the money, they have to know what you will be doing with the money.

Don’t think Mavins will give you 1 billion Naira and you go and buy a house or open a business. NO… They give you money and tell you the kind of things you have to do with it.

The record labels don’t want you to open a in because they feel it’s going to take your attention from your music and you will start slowing down on producing more songs.

They can tell you that you aren’t allowed to have a girlfriend because she’s going to distract you from your career and before you know it, you stop thinking about music and focus on posting your boyfriend back to back like Libianca and her Ghanaian boy.

They don’t want you to use your money for anything like real estate because they gave you that money with conditions.

They want you to live an expensive lifestyle even if you are broke because that helps in your branding, which makes you look professional. If you want to buy a car of 300 million, they will encourage you because they know every blogger will post it and you will be trending.

Most artists sign their deals young so they don’t read the conditions well. When they try to buy some things and the record label refuses while showing them the terms of their contract, they will be surprised.

But that is how the industry works. When you are signed to a label, you follow instructions because a record deal is like an investment loan from a bank

Despite my criticism of Burna Boy over the oppression of Speed Darlington by using the police, I still like his music because it resonates with my ideology around societal injustice & oppression. It’s nothing personal but just ideological principles. But DAVIDO is my goat. -Lawyer Deji

South African social media influencer Beandri Booysen, renowned for her inspiring posts on TikTok, has sadly departed on Wednesday, December 18, at the tender age of 19.

Her family shared the heartbreaking news on social media, highlighting Beandri’s courageous battle with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that accelerates aging in children.

In a poignant tribute, Beandri’s loved ones described her as a vibrant and infectious young woman who “radiated hope and joy” despite her health challenges. They praised her unique spirit, which inspired countless individuals worldwide.

As news of her passing spread, an outpouring of condolences flooded TikTok. According to medical experts, Progeria causes rapid aging, with symptoms emerging within the first two years of life. The average life expectancy for children with Progeria is approximately 15 years, although some may live longer or shorter lives.

While there is currently no cure for Progeria, ongoing research and novel treatments offer promise for managing symptoms and complications. Beandri’s family has requested privacy during this difficult time and will share details about a memorial service in due course.
