Iyanya Exits Mavin Record Signs New Deal With Record Label Temple Music

Nigerian singer and first season of Project Fame West Africa winner Iyanya has confirmed his exit from Mavins record.

He disclosed this on Wednesday during and interview with Beat FM in Lagos. 

Confirming his long-speculated exit from Mavin Records, he said, “I’m now signed to Temple Music but I’m a Mavin for life. It was not a beef. I was there and it was time to move on.”

Temple Music was launched in August 2017, with 9ice, Bisola Aiyeola, DJ Jimmy Jatt, named among the pioneer artistes.

In August 2016, news broke that Iyanya had finally severed ties with his former friend and partner, Ubi Franklin, and was pitching his tent with the Mavin.

Up until his exit from Made Men Music, he was the biggest artiste on the platform. Franklin has since found a replacement in Tekno who is responsible.

In 2017, Iyanya released ‘Signature’, an eight-track EP that included songs like ‘Up 2 Something’ and ‘Hold On’.

Don Jazzy and Mavin’s in-house producers, Altims and Baby Fresh, produced ‘Signature’.
