The last couple of days has seen Iyanya tease fans and the media with
photos indicating that he may be signing a new deal with Jay Z’s Roc
Nation. In some of the photos, he even sat on the same sofa that Tiwa
Savage sat on back in July 2016 when she signed her management deal with
the New York based company.
Iyanya is still in New York and can’t be immediately reached for
comments, but LIB reached out to his management in Nigeria, The Temple
Management Company whose media officer Femi Salawu responded to our
enquiries with a carefully worded statement that reads:
‘TMC and Mavin Records are focused on building bridges globally for the
benefit of our talents. Both Companies’ primary objective is to
continually maximise the opportunities in the African continent as well
as explore and develop new frontiers across the globe. Strategic
international partnerships are key in achieving these objectives aimed
at raising the profile of Mavin’s talents and our other talents. As the
world is a global village, we are positioned as global players in the
industry in bridging all divides globally. We will provide a detailed
press release in due course’.
It’s now safe to say after 3-months with Don Jazzy’s Mavin records, Iyanya is finally ‘Up to something’.
