It is no longer news that singer, Iyanya, is now with Mavin records which is being managed by Don Jazzy, but many have still wondered what led to his parting ways with his former record label.

Some have even rumoured that he left the label because of actress Lilian Esoro, for getting married to Ubi but the singer in an interview with Nation newspaper, reemphasized that it’s not true.

Iyanya explained that he left the record label after his contract expired but felt bad that Nigerians believe that as an artiste, you have to sign a life contract to under somebody.

On whether he left the label because of Lilian, he said, “No, I didn’t leave Triple MG because of Lilian. Lilian is such an amazing person. I left triple MG because it was time for me to leave; nobody signs a contract for life. It’s only in Nigeria that people think you have to be somebody for life and when you decide to leave the person they say they don break up, business dey get expiry date. Our contract was done, it was time for us to move on.”
