Nigerian singer and songwriter, Korede Bello, has opened up about why he left Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records.
The ‘Godwin’ crooner revealed this during a recent interview with Hip TV, hosted by reality star Kim Oprah.
According to him, he decided to leave the record label because he began to feel like a product that existed solely to generate profit for the label.
The artist, who left the label in 2021 after joining in 2014, added that he wanted to focus more on himself rather than continuously pursuing hit after hit.
He said, “I was at a point in my life where I needed to metamorphose, to explore my inner worth, to do introspection, understand myself, understand meaning more, and reconnect with my ‘why’.”
Because I was at a stage where I started to feel like a product. I started to feel like something that was being sold, something that was just there [at Mavin Records] to make money. You lose sight of what matters when you chase after the next song, after the next hit, after the next whatever it is that can get you into the conversation. So a lot of artists are addicted to that circle.”
