Nigerian singer cum businessman Mr. Eazi and his partner, Temi Otedola have unfollowed singer Joeboy.
This comes after the singer left Eazi’s record label Empawa and launched his label, Young Legend.
According to The Nation, Joeboy sent the following in his farewell letter to his boss:
“Thank you for taking a chance on me. Thank you for believing in me when others told you I wasn’t good enough.
“You are a big part of my journey, and I’m grateful for the last 5 years. I wish you nothing but the best.”
A quick glance at Joeboy’s Instagram account showed that the new label boss had returned the favor by unfollowing the pair too.
Meanwhile, Joeboy has recounted a time when he worked at a pure water factory while on strike at the university.
The Nigerian musician, who studied human resources and personal management, spoke of his difficulties finding work during a three-month university strike.
Faced with the scary possibility of unemployment, he ultimately found work as a marketer in a pure water facility in Lagos.
“I was looking so hard for a job and couldn’t find any. Is this how I’m going to end up when I finish school?” Joeboy said during the interview.
Joeboy described his life as a “miracle,” stating that despite some advice against signing him, Mr. Eazi, the head of his former record company, took a risk on him, resulting in his surprise signing to Empawa, where his musical career took off.
Joeboy emphasized the unexpected aspect of his accomplishment, claiming that not even his parents had anticipated his entry into the music industry.
Despite early skepticism, Joeboy has gone on to accomplish what he claims to be “the best label deal in Afrobeats history in Nigeria.”
