Lanre Lawal, the manager of Nigerian singer and songwriter, Brymo, has parted ways with him after spending eight years with the vocalist.
The music manager says in a statement he issued on his Instagram page on Wednesday night.
Lawal also disclosed that his management agency, The Bail Music Company, won’t be working for the self-acclaimed “most powerful artist in the world”.
He announced that the decision is a critical one that will see both of them transition to the next phase of their competitive careers.
He further said their eight-year business relationship has helped in enhancing the voice and talent of the singer.
The statement reads in parts “This is to inform the general public that The Bail Music Company, under the leadership of Lanre Lawal, is no longer responsible for the management of Olawale Oloforo, popularly known as Brymo,” he wrote.
“Over the last eight years as Brymo’s manager, we have built formidable relationships and partnerships with top music stakeholders in and outside Nigeria.
“Together, we have assisted in amplifying the strength and talents of the singer/songwriters (Brymo) through the smooth development and execution of projects that have grown the brand internationally.
“However, like every healthy relationship, there is a mutual decision to move on to the next stage of our professional journeys individually.
“We are proud of the years we worked together and find nothing more satisfying than to see Brymo reach the heights of his success.”
In 2009, after leaving Now Muzik, Lawal began his independent platform when he undertook Blarque Brotha Entertainment that grew into The Bail Music Company.
In 2015, he teamed up with Brymo — after the singer’s protracted controversy with Chocolate City, his former record label, was settled — to start an annual concert series called organized chaos.
Organized chaos became a well-known annual concert series in Nigeria which has created a platform for alternative music and musicians to thrive.
As of 2021, the Bail Music Company houses several Nigerian talents that are pulling the weights of fame in the African music scene.
They include Banky W, Sunny Neji, Olamide, Adekunle Gold, Femi Leye, and Waje, among others.
