Nigerian singer Korede Bello has candidly shared his reasons for departing from Don Jazzy’s Mavins Records, a label he signed with in February 2014 and left in 2021. In a recent interview with Hip TV, hosted by reality star KimOprah, Korede revealed the personal journey that led to his decision.
Reflecting on his time at Mavins Records, Korede expressed feeling like “a product” whose primary purpose was to generate revenue. He explained that he reached a pivotal moment in his life where he needed to undergo a transformation, allowing him to explore his inner worth and engage in deep introspection.
Korede stated, “I was at a season in my life where I needed to metamorphose, to explore my inner worth, to do introspection, understand myself, understand meaning more, and reconnect to my why.” This realization prompted him to reassess his priorities and artistic direction.
The singer further elaborated on the pressures faced by artists in the industry, noting how the constant pursuit of hits can lead to losing sight of what truly matters. “You lose sight of what matters when you chase after the next hit, after the next whatever it is that can get you into conversations. So a lot of artists are addicted to that circle,” he remarked.

The award-winning artiste made the revelation in the lyrics of his new song Moviestar, a collaboration with French pianist Sofiane Pamart.
Rema, who rose to prominence after signing with Mavin Records and dropping his debut EP in 2019 at just 19, suggested that his early breakthrough came with difficulties that are not visible to the public.
He noted that many people misunderstand his journey because they do not realise how young he was when he entered the spotlight, adding that he “got caught up so young” and went through personal struggles.
In the song, the 25-year-old also made striking claims about his experiences during fame, alleging that he was introduced to drugs by some women.
He sang: “Girls always give me drugs. My happiness is zipped in their little purse… Friends always make me feel robbed…”
Rema further explained that things became more complicated after signing his record deal, saying he found it hard to step away from the pressures of the music industry.
Through the lyrics, he hinted at constant pressure to perform and entertain, often without regard for his emotional well-being.
He added that the pain he endured is often hidden behind the glamorous image fans see of his success.
Senegalese singer Akon has sparked mixed reactions after sharing his views on love, commitment, and monogamy.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In an interview with The Shade Room, the Smack That hitmaker claimed that men are not naturally built to be with only one partner, saying it goes against human nature.
According to him, many men are drawn to multiple partners, but what truly matters is self-control and emotional loyalty rather than strict exclusivity.
The businessman also drew a distinction between “commitment” and “faithfulness,” explaining that a man may feel attraction to others but still choose to remain devoted to one partner in practice.
The father of nine said faithfulness is about staying emotionally dedicated to one person despite temptations, while admitting that complete commitment to one partner is, in his view, unrealistic for men.
He said: “We’re not committed. We’re not built to be committed. We’re natural beings by nature, right? Okay. We populate because that’s how God created us to be…”
He added that faithfulness is about choosing one partner despite temptations, while describing commitment as something men often struggle with due to nature.

News reports that the “Mr President” crooner made this known on a recent episode of the Beer Parlour Talk podcast, where he spoke about his experiences in the industry.
According to him, making conscious music put his life at risk, forcing him to take measures to protect himself, including the use of traditional spiritual practices (juju).
He also revealed that he learned martial arts due to constant threats, claiming that security operatives, OPC members, and area boys often targeted him because of his controversial songs.
African China said he was frequently on the run during his active years, adding that he relied on informants and audience warnings to avoid being attacked during performances.
He maintained that the environment at the time was hostile, and survival in the industry required constant alertness and self-protection.
