Its no News that Iyanya has announced that he will be launching a new record label and album soon.
According to a report published by PulseNg, the Made Men Music Group (MMMG) singer and co-owner has had difficulty getting a hit song out in the past year, with his “Applaudise” album flopping. But he is set to have a revamp this year, with new moves to spark his career.
“I'll be launching my new label and new album soon”, the singer wrote on Instagram.
This new announcement will surely spark some reactions among fans and industry enthusiasts. Iyanya is a co-owner of MMMG, an outfit he runs with his manager and friend, Ubi Franklin. The duo set up the record label in 2011, where they have Tekno, Selebobo, Mr Chibbz, and Tonye Garrick are all signed.
SingerEmma Nyra was once part of the record label, until she acrimoniously departed in 2014 due to personal reasons. Baci was also affiliated with the label for six years, but he was never offered a contract.
But this announcement is the culmination of a long period of incessant in-fighting and clash of decisions. Ubi and Iyanya, have been at loggerheads over finances and a lot of other key decisions on the running of the label.
Last year, the label had to let go two artistes, Emma Nyra and Baci, which according to sources, did not go down well with Iyanya. Baci, most especially had a special bond with Iyanya, a friendship that had been honed over several years.
Financial mismanagement issues are also a huge part of the disagreement. Iyanya and Ubi have long not seen eye to eye over the remittance of booking and appearance fees. According to our source, there have been concerns over Ubi’s handling of the business finances.
Things got worse during and after Ubi’s celebrity wedding to Nollywood actress, Lilian Esoro, in November 2015. It is believed that Iyanya is not in favour of the union, and the effect it has on the business.
“Iyanya does not like the wife, and does not support the union”,our source revealed.
Active management of the record label has been shifted to Paul, a staff of the record label, who now handles day-to-day management of the record label, and also is directly involved with booking fees and performances. Tekno and management (Ubi), were last week, called out by a certain Canadian show promoter, Bless Ehannire, for not showing up for an agreed show as at when expected.
This year, Iyanya is currently returning to his R&B roots. He is planning a collaborative R&B album with EME singer, Banky W. So far, he has released two singles, ‘Type of woman’ and 'Heart beat' from the project. He is trying to relaunch himself into the industry, and has come to the decision that he needs to split from Ubi Franklin, and run his business personally.
All calls from Pulse to Ubi Franklin and Iyanya were not answered. The pair are currently in the USA.

All the best to him/them, that's all I can say. Can't be bothered about them.

ReplyDeleteMake I follow you hmmmm. *Clears throat*
DeleteWell we shall see. But I like what he wrote on instagram. He didn't start ranting about Ubi like Peter does about his brothers. He just respected himself. Shows maturity. And Stella Lillian fit be a cause. I'm not saying she is but a woman can be whispering things in her man's ears and he will end up acting on them. Women have power. Dsnt mean it applies in this case though
ReplyDeleteBia La fresh won't you respect your old age? Oponu

ReplyDeleteWell inyanya, you don't have to like her or sanction their union. Ubi is grown man and can take care of himself, no dey para. Go and marry first and then come back tell us how far.
Am glad you made your decision to launch your record, since you can't stand Ubi.
Wetin concern Iyanya and Lillian, they should just leave the innocent girl out of these mbok, An Outsider don't have a say when it comes to making decision concerning My Life Partner
ReplyDeleteAnd someone was just talking about it yesterday. Now i need to believe our DSTV DECODERS on this blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity. I hope it pays him well to leave and get his own. Woman matter just now don enter here. Lilian hope you are good.
Good for them
ReplyDeleteWhat do they mean by iyanya is not in support of ubis wife. Is it is business who ubi marries? If twins can't stay together, what can friends do ?
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine, is iyanya now ubi's father that will tell ubi who and who not to marry...they have issues but Lillian is not part of it
DeleteEverything concern Lilian oh! Stella, no let us vex biko. Everything must concern woman coz it's either money is the cause or woman!!!

ReplyDeleteHmm,these your quotes are bae...

DeleteStrongly agree.
DeleteI knew it
ReplyDeleteThe way the Ubi and Lilian were spending money trying to prove what they're not.
Na only them do 6 types of wedding
Iyanya, better don't play with your money oh
If Ubi is reckless with money then Iyanya should go.
Lmao @stella's slow side eyes.
ReplyDeleteSo inyanya never liked Lilly? Maka why na?
Ubi don use management money Marry igbo geh.
Is Lilian Ibo?
DeleteIt's obvious Ubi used his life savings to woo and marry Lilian na. I must marry a celeb syndrome na hin wan kill him business so.
ReplyDeleteIyanya, pls take a bow if you need to, without any form of drama, tho.
I have s feeling Tekno won't stay too long...
I'm not convinced. If he can't make a bad hit after leaving then we know he's the problem. Just like dbanj. If ubi can't get another musician to become a bad ass celeb, then we know he's the problem. Now dbanj dey take style beg don j to do collaboration after all the Noise. Don j was quiet that time when dbanj left. Eventually our works will speak for us. Not by shouting or probing anything. That's what I know about life.
ReplyDeleteD'banj is doing well in his own way.

ReplyDeleteExactly... But I thought the lady in Q is pregnant.
DeleteNo friend or family in business.There is bound to be clash of interest
ReplyDeleteWhy do people always find it easy to say it was bcos one party got married thats why they are having problems. Peter and paul had the same people started saying it is Lola. Now it is Lilian.
ReplyDeleteExactly!!!! Wetin concern lilian for inside. This story ve no basis of truth.
ReplyDeleteOkay,read it all. All i deduced from this write up is that they having financial brouhahaha. Well no comment on that. So baci left?hmm. #bringbackbaci#
ReplyDeleteEmma my woman crush,hi...
But how can they alledge iyanya doesnt like lilian? Now that's cheap gossip. I believe it NOT.

ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteGood for them...
ReplyDeleteIt is very obvious that ubi lives lilian more than she loves him. I feel she married him out of pity and age as well. Something about ubi doesn't sit well with me though but oh well. .their wahala
ReplyDeleteWow,you must be an Omniknoweth.
DeleteYou know efihitin.
Since the days of Nnenna's death in the USA I wanted to reply you this Iphie when you dropped a nasty comment under my comment. You have come again with your mockery. Okwa nke be Onyewuchi okwaya, try it and I will bring your Chronicles from Owerri Girls Secondary School here. Onye apari.
DeleteUbi likes to hang his shoes where his hands no go reach afterwards he will now be looking for bench to support him to take the shoes back. This exactly what you get when u marry high maintenance wife/porcelain doll.
ReplyDeleteHow will you refer to Lilian as high maintenance doll? Was she not working hard and smart, making her mark in Nollywood before he met her? You people should be careful how you talk about these celebrities. They're humans too oh
DeleteHmmm!
ReplyDelete#WhiteDiamondOut
I don't believe everything up there.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that caught my attention is that Inyanya plans to go back to his R&B roots.
If this is true..nice one. His voice has been resting since.
One trillion don come with him end time comments. Where you go abi dm steal you phone?
ReplyDeleteIt is well o.
ReplyDeleteFake gossip from pulse ng. All the allegations on Ubi are mere speculations on why the break up in management of MMMG. These speculations is just to trigger one party to start talking by airing dirty laundry. Alas, some slow minds on thus blog will just gulp whatever urine is poured on them, commenting and concluding as if Iyanya told them it's true.
ReplyDeleteAnyways Mr. & Mrs. Franklin got some very important thing on their hands right now. The arrival of a life, a new person entrusted into their care by God. The birth of their baby. I pray Lillian Franklin delivers her baby safely and healthy. I pray Ubi to bask in the joy of fatherhood with a healthy baby as he is by his wife's side. He can't wait to cherish that wonderful moment where he would hold her hand in comfort, support & loving care, while whispering encouragingly "baby push, we are almost there, our bundle of joy is on its way" Sure he would cry again as he would hear the baby's cry & cry even more of joy while holding their 1st born. I wish them well..... Haters pullover. I cover them with the blood of Jesus.
Lilian welcome. Safe delivery. Amen
Deletehe doesn't like Lilian and he was the best-man at their wedding...hmm ok they better not be pulling another psquare on us. ain't nobody gat time 4 dat
ReplyDeleteDont mind the Jasmine. Open University. Stupid idiot. Shame on you. I have seen you. Iya Akpati but you fine small.
