Why I chose not to renew my contract with Burna Boy – Singer, Buju
Nigerian singer, Daniel Benson better known as Buju has revealed why he terminated his contract with Burna Boy’s record label.
Buju was signed to Burna’s label, Spaceship Entertainment in 2020 and released ‘Lenu’ remix with the Grammy winner.
In a recent interview with Hip TV, the fast-rising singer said he decided not to renew the contract which ended in 2021 because he wanted to do things differently.
According to him, Burna Boy was not opposed to the idea of him leaving to pursue his music career independently.
Buju said; “Signing with spaceship was so amazing I got like 9m streams with my remix in April
“Burna heard my song ‘Lenu’ in the club and ‘vibed’ with it and signed me in 2020 but it was a year contract and I didn’t renew it.
“I didn’t renew the contract after a year because I want to do things on my own differently. I’ve seen how it works around there and it does not necessarily flow with me.
“Affiliation is great when it’s working for you. “I told Burna I wanted to do it on my own and I’ll make him proud and he told me to go along.”
