“It Can Be Painful And Discouraging…” – Dayo Adeneye On Artistes Ditching Labels After Becoming Famous




Quite a number of famous artistes have passed through Dayo Adeneye and Kenny Ogungbe’s Kennis Music label. Unfortunately, most of them tend to opt out of their contracts once they’ve attained a little bit of notoriety and/or fame.
Dayo D1, who happens to be one of the honchos at Kennis Music has expressed his disappointment over this issue. In an interview with Yes International Magazine, he said:


“Well, it can be a bit painful at times. Sometimes, it’s discouraging, I can’t lie to you. It is like watching a child you’ve raised. He goes through college, university; then gets married, somebody takes them off you. It can be saddening at times. But you have to let them go, if you love them. Most of them show appreciation. It can be annoying when they don’t appreciate and don’t remember where they were coming from. But we try to play it down.
“But sometimes it can be a big deal. Fame and fortune are very difficult to manage. Somebody that didn’t see N20,000 yesterday starts seeing N4 million per show, he’s going to quickly forget Kenny and D-One. But we thank God we still remain relevant in what we do. And we will continue to do what we do as long as we love it.”
