Media personality Shade Ladipo believes that music producer Don Jazzy is the only individual who truly understands the music label business.

Ladipo made this statement after Spyro claimed that his former boss and music executive, Paul Okoye, never paid him while he was signed to his record label.

While speaking in an interview with Echoroom, Spyro said, “Myself and my partner, we were signed to a record label. My record label was owned by a billionaire, he had about three Rolls Royce. I was signed and nothing was happening; I was not even getting a dime.

“If I needed money, I had to go borrow money for him to return. I mean he is a nice person, but I do not think he understands the label business as at then, I do not know about now.”

In response to Spyro’s comment, Paulo said that despite investing N12 million in Spyro over two years, he never made any returns.

This sparked reactions from Nigerians, including Shade Ladipo, who stated that while she respects Paulo, Spyro did not lie in his statement.

She pointed out that Don Jazzy, the renowned music producer and founder of Mavin Records, has proven to be the only person who truly understands talent and record label management.

Ladipo advised other music producers to accept their losses without feeling attacked whenever an artiste speaks out.

She wrote on her Instagram story, “Only Don Jazzy/Mavin has proven without reasonable doubt that he understands Talent & Record Label Management.

My other Egbons… Proudly take your Ls without feeling attacked. Someone sharing an account of their story doesn’t mean they are trying to attack you.

If it happened, then it happened. You win some, you lose some. Paulo, be proud of the investments you did make that yielded returns!

Paulo na my oga, but Spyro did not tell a single lie. There are too many jokers in this Nigerian music scene who believe because they have existed in that ecosystem and have some form of influence, all of a sudden understand talent or record label management. My Egbons, No be by ‘I don dey industry for 50 years’.”
