Nigerian Afrobeats artist Reekado Banks has publicly acknowledged that his departure from Mavin Records, the label that initially propelled him to stardom, occurred sooner than it should have.
Banks, who gained recognition after signing with Mavin Records and winning the Rookie of the Year award at The Headies 2014, followed by the Next Rated award at The Headies 2015, established his own label, Banks Music, in 2018.
In a recent interview with Teddy A, Banks stated that he realized the timing of his exit was premature once he began independently managing his music career. He clarified that his departure was not the result of any discord, emphasizing that his contract had expired two years prior to his decision to leave. He stated that his contract with Mavin Records was a three-year deal, but he stayed for five years.
