Oluwaseyitan Aletile, widely known as Seyi Law, a famous Nigerian comedian, has asked record label owners in the nation to stop risking the lives and careers of signees who opt out of their organizations.
Some music executives, he claimed, guaranteed that musicians who left their record labels would never be noticed.
He also accused record label executives of pressuring their signees to engage in illegal activities.
The comedian made the charges against the background of former Marlian Music signee Mohbad’s untimely death on Tuesday, just a year after his contentious divorce from the Naira Marley-owned record company.
On his X handle, Seyi Law wrote, “In life, we win some and lose some. Record label owners (in fact senior colleagues in the entertainment business) must know when to let go. ‘I am leaving’ shouldn’t be a death sentence. Don’t make yourself the alpha and omega over anybody whose talent you were not the giver.
“Some of you have sworn that the talents that left you will never rise. You block them from radio, TV, and shows. You call the shots because you are mini gods. Nobody fit beg you. Ok o.
“In your gatherings, anyone who can’t smoke or drink is not man enough. Drugs everywhere. The young ones must blend in. People who have no business in entertainment are in control of their young destinies because of cultism. Nobody holds una o.
“I remember when Ruggedman spoke about Naira Marley. Many celebrated the attack on him in London. Today, we are demanding accountability from Naira Marley. Police should do their work.
“Don’t kill another man to live because everybody will go one way or another. Your wealth isn’t a tool to buy another man’s life.”
