Afrobeats genius Joseph Akinfenwa-Donus, famously known as Joeboy, has taken a critical walk in his distinguished 5-year career by marking a double bargain with Worldwide music monster, Warner music which is domestic to geniuses like Ed Sheeran, Cardi B, Burna Boy, Ckay.
Joeboy follows in the footsteps of superstars like Olamide, Don Jazzy and his former label boss, Mr. Eazi to use their social currency and business acumen to shine a light on the generation bubbling under while elevating his own musical status from a continental superstar to a global juggernaut
The move sees Joeboy exit Empawa after 5 successful years where he released 2 EPs (Love & Light and Body, Soul & Spirit) , 2 albums (Somewhere Between Beauty & Magic and Body & Soul) and a plethora of hit singles & features amassing over 2 Billion streams across major DSPs.
The deal equally sees Joeboy launch his own entertainment outfit called Young Legend as well as being Warner Music’s latest flagship artist out of Africa.
Equally, under the new Young Legend label, Joeboy will act as the CEO while Deola Jaiyesimi will serve as the Head of label with the task of churning out the next set of Afrobeats superstars on a global stage.
This is a big and notable move in the artiste career as described by several commentators and analysts
