Nigerian superstar rapper Naetochukwu Chikwe popularly known as Naeto C has ended his relationship with Storm Records, the music home where he launched his career into the Nigerian music market.
Investigations have revealed that the rapper plans to fully launch his WKG/Cerious Music label in a matter of months. Unlike
the many breakups that have preceded Naeto’s, the rapper’s exit is not
battlemented; both parties have been very silent about the issue. As a
matter of fact, Storm Records insist that the rapper is still signed
with them.
One of the label’s directors Tola Odunsi admits that Naeto has got his own record label Cerious Music for a while but he is still with Storm.
‘Naeto
has had his record label for a while at least 3 years it’s called
Cerious Music – his music is being pushed as a joint venture btw storm
360 and Cerious Music. Nothing has changed’, Odunsi responded to our enquiry via E-mail.
Naeto C’s profile is still active on the Storm Records official website but then again, we can’t take that seriously as General Pype (an artiste who has since parted ways with the label) also has his profile on the website.
An
inside source however says Naeto has indeed left and his upcoming
project will not be released under the Storm Records imprint.
One
insider said: ‘It is true Naeto started Cerious Music a few years
back but the launch of his new outfit WKG (meaning White Kaftan Gang)
will see him act fully as an independent artiste.’
WKG kicked off in the middle of 2012 with the launch of his ‘Tony Montana (Bad pass)’ video featuring D’banj. We are told he also plans to sign Lagos producer E-Kelly.
Storm
Records was also not listed as one of the organizers of his first ever
solo US tour which ran from late March to early May 2013. Naeto
who remains silent on the issue (he refused to reply our E-mail
messages) has been busy though: he welcomed his first child while on
tour in the US and returned to Nigeria to seal a deal with telecoms
company Globacom as an ambassador. Popular artiste manager Godwin Tom also says Naeto is his new client.
