You are welcome to Alamukii Samir's Blog:9ice opens up on Seriki, Kayefi, others leaving Alapomeji Records

9ice has finally cleared the air on why his
proteges left his Alapomeji Records label. In
an exclusive interview with NET, the Pop singer
says they were free to leave because he didn’t
sign any contract with them.
The ‘Ike kan’ singer further explained that he
created Alapomeji to serve as a platform for
upcoming artistes to only exhibit their talents
and move on from there. He likens it to having
ID Cabasa when he was upcoming.
‘…It’s like a flag bearer where you can lift
people up. I wish there was Alapomeji when I
was growing up. When I was growing all I had
was a brother who believed in me and he
helped me ’.
In May 2013, NET reported that Alapomeji acts
Seriki, Wise, Kayefi, Snow had left the label
. Earlier, Pop singing duo Ajayi Brothers also
left the label.
‘What I did then was putting them on as
upcoming artistes. If you ask anyone of them,
I never signed an agreement with anyone. I
didn’t sign them on, all I did was give them a
platform whereby they can exhibit their talent
to let people know about them, their content
and if they deem it fit to move on they can go
and that’s what they did when they all left ’,
9ice told Nigerian Entertainment Today during
a visit to this newspaper.
The singer also revealed that he’s pretty cool
with all of them, when we asked if they still
talk.
‘Yes we do. We talk all the time we call and
talk, we still meet at shows ’, 9ice says.
