Nigerian singer Reekado Banks has revealed that he left Mavin Records prematurely. In a recent interview, he explained that his exit in 2018 wasn’t due to a disagreement, but because his contract had ended two years earlier.

Banks admitted he realized leaving early was a bold move after starting to manage his music independently under his own label, Banks Music

“It [my exit from Mavin Records] wasn’t a conflict situation. I was pretty young and pretty fixated on what I wanted to do -I wanted to leave. Anyways, my contract has ended two years prior. I signed a three-year contract and I allowed it to ride for another two years. So, I was there for five years without reviewing the contract.

“So, when it was time, I thought I wanted to do this [leave] now. I thought I could do it now. I just embarked on the journey, as many people would view it, prematurely. As soon as I jumped into the sea as well, I realised how premature it was,” he said.
