The artiste/record label conflict in Nigeria is far from over as Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy and Wande Coal are currently at loggerheads over a recently released track titled “BabyFace”
The trouble started a few minutes ago when Don Jazzy spoke about his work being stolen and Wande Coal just had to reply.
This is the newest in a wave of record company vs artiste battles that have swept across the country.
