Nigerian singer and songwriter, Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon, popularly known as Reekado Banks has quit the Don Jazzy-owned Music Company, ‘Mavin Record’.
The recording artiste who turned 25, yesterday December 6, made this announcement a few hours ago on his social media handle.
He was full of thanks and gratitude to Mavin Boss, Don Jazzy who according to him, has treated him like a son in the past 5 years of their relationship.
Reekado Banks went on to reveal the reason for his exit from the music company, which houses other artistes like Tiwa Savage, Dr Sid, Korede Bello, Johnny Drille and Dija. He explained that as painful and uneasy as the exit is for him, it is absolutely necessary for his growth. See his post below:
“Today I write in tears, not from a place of pain, but of joy and gratitude. A place of bliss and satisfaction because I am more than contented with how far this opportunity has brought me. The last five years have been the most blissful years of my career. The journey has been extremely wonderful and filled with the best experiences.
“I’ve learnt that family is not just about blood ties but about the love, sacrifices and friendship that exist amongst its members. The relationships I have fostered has proved to me that love is thicker than blood. Joining the @mavinrecords family was the best thing to have happened to me in the last decade. @donjazzy took me in and treated me like his own son. I’ll be eternally grateful to him for sacrifices he made towards the growth of my career.

A true KING with a large heart, full of kindness and ready to accommodate even more people. And to the rest of the crew, Our family is a clear example of the saying, ‘We rise by lifting others’. Thank you all for all the times you’ve lifted me at my lowest moments, for the support, the amazing hits and most especially, the LOVE. Taking this bold step and moving on from Mavin Records onto bigger opportunities is something that, though not easy, is absolutely necessary because of my growth. I am very ecstatic about what the future holds and I cannot wait to share with everyone what new opportunities have come. Long Live Mavin Records.”
