Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Joseph Akinfenwa Donus, popularly known as Joeboy, has parted ways with Empawa Music, a label owned by Mr Eazi.
The singer has now signed a dual deal with global music giant, Warner Music, and launched his record label called “Young Legend” record label.
He also adjusted his profile names on social media to reflect the new label.
This move sees Joeboy exit Empawa after 5 successful years where he released 2 EPs (Love & Light and Body, Soul & Spirit) , 2 albums (Somewhere Between Beauty & Magic and Body & Soul) and a plethora of hit singles & features amassing over 2 Billion streams across major DSPs.
Under the new Young Legend label, Joeboy will act as the CEO while Deola Jaiyesimi will serve as the Head of label with the task of churning out the next set of Afrobeats superstars on a global stage.
Sharing a ritual-themed clip announcing the launch of his record label via X, Joeboy wrote: “Dawn of a new era. Young Legend is alive.”
