Prior to the release of his buzzing studio work, there have been rumours about the Sungba hitmaker parting ways with his music executive and renowned rapper Olamide.

Meanwhile, his current moves added fuel to already-existing speculations after he indicated a brand name, “Giran Republic”, on his Instagram and created a special page for it.

The Afrobeats sensation deliberately unfollowed all his friends on the photo-sharing platform but kept a spot for his new initiative.

While TheTalk.NG is yet to confirm whether it is a music label, online music enthusiasts are already peddling what they believe best.
