Flowssick Leaves Kollertunz

Upcoming pop act, Flowssickk has left his record
label Kollertunz. According to the CEO of the
label, Kolawole Ajayi, Flowssickk is no longer an
act under label according to a statement he
released. “”I just want to let you
know Flowssickk is no longer working with
Kollertunz Record” said Kolawole Ajayi. Despite
working with Flowssickk for a year no formal
contract was written. When Flowssickk was given
a contract of three years to sign, things changed
as Flowssickk’s mum intervened who said her
church was against the record deal.
“This decision came as a result of the contract of
3 years given to Flowssickk by Kollertunz Records
and Flowssickk’s mum said their church said he
should not sign any contract. We respect the
church and at the same time Kollertunz Records
can’t continue to spend money without a signed
contract” said Kolawole in the statement.
Kollertunz Records said it has invested N10m on
Flowssickk and that there is a measure in place to
get their money back. The record label will get
25% from Flowssickk’s appearance and
performance fees till the money is paid back.
Flowssickk’s family haven’t agreed to this in
signing yet. “Every show Flowssickk gets and
attend they pay Kollertunz 25% as part payment
of money Kollertunz has spent. They have
disagreed to put this in writing or signed as per
church said Flowssickk should not sign any
contract.”
Flowssickk’s music career will be managed by his
family. The CEO of the label lamented about the
loss but claims it’s all part of the learning process.
“Its’ painful but we do not want to fight so
Kollertunz has handed to Flowssickk’s mother all
Flowssickk has with Kollertunz including the 2
years USA visa and all his music. We learn
everyday and we have learnt a good lesson. We
want to thank you for all your support because
without you, we would not have gotten to where
we are.”
Flowssickk joined Kollertunz in 2011 and within
the short period of their association released the
hit single ‘Lowkey’.
