Jaywon and Kennis Music call it quits

Why does this keep happening? The relationship between popular music act, Iledare Oluwajuwonlo James, aka Jaywon and his record label, Kennis Music has come to an abrupt end. While we are unable to ascertain the cause of the conflict (if there’s any) we gathered that Jaywon through his lawyer has requested for his contract to be terminated. Kennis Music has also issued an official statement on the matter.

“Iledare Oluwajuwonlo James aka Jaywon has written a letter via his lawyer requesting for his contract with Kennis Music to be terminated. JAYWON wrote,in the same letter, his readiness and willingness to pay off all costs therein accordingly.

Meanwhile, Independent Broadcasters Association of Nigeria IBAN MEMBERS and all broadcasters on all platforms are hereby advised to Un-list the works (Either single performances or and collaborations) of Iledare Oluwajuwonlo James aka Jaywon from their respective rotational play lists until his (Jaywon) request to buy over his contract is fully completed to avoid litigation.

Thanks.
