It seems like this is the year for sacking managers as last year was for fighting record labels.
One of Nigeria’s hottest rappers, Olanrewaju Ogunmefun aka Vector Tha Viper has parted ways with his manager of 2 years, Micheal Umoru.
Sources disclose that both parties decided to end their relationship a few days ago after a disagreement they could not resolve in time.
Remember that Vector parted ways with his record label, YSG Entertainment in June 2013 after several issues led to irreconcilable differences between him and the label’s management led by Obiora Obianodo, the first son of Chief Vincent Obianodo, who owns Young Shall Grow Motors Ltd.
On August 1, 2014, the rapper, in anticipation of the release of his mix tape, apologized to his fans in a statement where he said ‘I would also like to apologize to the management of YSG Entertainment Ltd for any embarrassment occasioned by my conduct and whatever damage it may have suffered as a result of the slander and libel as portrayed by the media in this regard. These issues were exaggerated by the media as I hold YSG Entertainment Ltd in high esteem.’
The rapper went on to drop a 16-track mix tape on September 1, 2014 titled ‘A7’. At the moment, details of his new manager is not yet known, but his former manager, Micheal Umoru who is the CEO of Gidi Groove Entertainment, is said to be concentrating on managing the careers of other notable names under his management including Aftrica’s leading DJ, Dj Jimmy Jatt and Shaydee.
