"It is with deep regret that we officially announce the departure of recording artist Wande Ojosipe, popularly known as Wande Coal, from Mavin Records due to irreconcilable differences."
The record label noted that, "Mavin has pursued a renewed ethos to raise its standards of quality and professionalism to a world-class level. Wande’s vision has not aligned with ours and a few months ago all parties mutually agreed that a separation would be the best course of action."
According to the statement, legal parties on both sides - Mavin Records and Wande Coal - have spent the past six months trying to reach an amicable solution in terms of musical property rights.
Mavin Records observed that, while they are trying to conclude on legal matters, "the decision by Wande Coal to release ‘Baby Face’ purportedly as his own material is a direct breach of intellectual property law and compelled an immediate clarification on our part."
"Both Mavin Records and Wande Coal have enjoyed a remarkable run in the course of their working relationship. It is unfortunate that conflicting priorities contributed to the premature curtailment of a hitherto fruitful accord," the statement added and wished Wande Coal well in future endeavours.
