Big Beats Records launches operation in Lagos, unveils three artistes

Big Beats Records, a new music label, has launched its operations in Lagos.

During the unveiling on Sunday in Lagos, Abimbola Hakeem, the chairman and co-founder of the music house, said the aim of the label is to invest positively in the lives of youths — particularly upcoming artistes — so they can be useful to society.

“Big Beats Records is about changing the lives of youths and we want to do it the proper way. We want to make sure that we let the world know that the youths can still come up with things legitimately and that is why we invested in it,” he said.

“We go all the way to make sure that we get good music to Nigerians and we are starting from the scratch. Our target is not just to make but also that the youths we are bringing in can be able to do something for themselves, the community and a lot of vices are put down and we will be able to form a greater community.”

At the launch, the label unveiled three newly signed artistes — Saheed ‘Sosi’ Sabih, Quadri Rasheed better known as Tyrod and Olarewaju Olamilekan called Leolexxy.

Puffy Tee, the label’s producer and consultant, said the artistes will be trained on all aspects of music making before they start releasing songs.

“As they come in, they are going to the Big beats records academy first where we groom them. As they are signed you cannot start hearing their songs immediately, we will take time to groom them on all aspect of entertainment industry, music and production so they will understand everything involved,” he said.

Hakeem also disclosed that the artistes were signed with consent of their lawyers and family members.

“We invited their family for the signing. You know the industry has turned to something else now so we told their families to come and see where they will be living and what they are signing. They have given the contract to their lawyers and they have gotten back to us so they are signing the contract with the consent of their families,” he added.

Big Beats Records is a Nigerian record label jointly owned by Hakeem and Kunle Rasheed.

It has no affiliation with Big Beat Records, Inc., the American electronic and dance music record label owned by Warner Music Group and operated through Atlantic Records.

Chris Brown, the American singer, has revealed that he is in a polygamous relationship.

Brown, in a YouTube live with Kai Cenat, the US content creator, addressed questions about his personal life.

When asked if he was in a relationship, the 35-year-old Virginia-born artiste replied, “I am in multiple”.

Cenat sought clarification, asking, “Like more than one girlfriend?” Brown responded, “Something like that”.

The award-winning singer also emphasized the importance of transparency and honesty in maintaining his polygamous relationships.

“Just keep it a hundred. Be honest,” he added.

This is not the first time Brown would be addressing polygamy.

In an interview with Hot 97, the singer opened up about the challenges of maintaining a monogamous relationship due to his celebrity status and constant exposure to women.

“The hardest part is trying to keep a monogamous relationship, but still wanting to be the 25-year-old sex symbol,” he said.

“You go to shows. You might walk by somebody’s room, and you might see about six or seven of them thangs. And you’re like, dang, I just want to slide in there and have a couple drinks real quick and I’ll tell my girl about it later.”

Born Christopher Maurice Brown, the songwriter is often referred to by his contemporaries as the “king of R&B”.

Davido, the Afrobeats star, has advised black Americans against relocating to Nigeria, citing the country’s economic challenges.

In an appearance on The Big Homies House podcast, the singer shared his thoughts on the struggles bedeviling Nigeria, stating, “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles”.

Davido also mentioned Nigeria’s struggles with bad leadership, a high exchange rate, and skyrocketing oil prices, which are negatively impacting the country.

“It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am no going to show the bad parts,” he said.

“I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuffs are not going well.

“The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine the country that produces oil, paying more for it than a country importing oil.”

Despite the challenges, Davido emphasised the entertainment industry’s positive impact on Africa’s global image.

“Regardless, entertainment is one of the thing that has made Africa look good. We do not have the best leader, that is a fact,” he said.
