Iyanya prompted rumours of discord with longtime business partner and friend Ubi Franklin when he announced he was setting up a new label a few weeks ago.
And even though he shot down that
rumour his latest move will probably breathe life once again into
rumours of discord with Franklin.
Earlier this evening Iyanya announced on his Instagram page that he
has signed on with a new management, Temple Management Company.
This means Ubi Franklin who has managed his career for over 5 years will no longer be responsible for it.
However Iyanya went on to state that this decision was taken by
himself and Franklin as they agreed to diversify their creative
interests.
Dear fans, I am pleased to announce that I have now
signed on with Temple Management Company. About a year ago, Ubi and I
discussed options to diversify our business interests and creative
visions and we both agreed that we would explore all avenues open to us.
So much has happened since and I have now completed work on my new
album which will be released under a new record label. With both
@thetemplecompany and the new album, I am now embarking in a direction
which will not only bring you the same quality, verve and energy that
you have become accustomed to, it will take things to the next level.
Ubi remains my brother and we both look forward to this new phase of our
careers. God bless you all.
Obviously with the lukewarm performance of his last album &
career stagnance Iyanya has been forced to make drastic moves concerning
his future…
