Jaywon

After working with Kennis Music for over three years, there’s a strong possibility that pop singer James Oluwajuwonlo Edahi better known as Jaywon will be leaving the record label. 

Rumours have already hit the blogs this week about Jaywon’s departure but speaking with NET over the phone, the singer, insists he is still signed to Kennis Music. ‘I’m still signed to Kennis, those reports are just lies, don’t listen to them‘, Jaywon says. 

But insiders at Kennis and sources close to Jaywon tell us that the singer’s contract with Kennis will soon be over and he is not interested in extending it. ‘Jaywon has three months left at Kennis and trust me, he doesn’t want to sign a new deal, no matter how the deal looks like‘, one source told us. 

Jaywon joined Kennis Music in 2009 after he was discovered by label boss Kenny Ogungbe at that year’s annual Kennis Music Easter Fiesta. He was signed two weeks later after performing live on stage. He has under the label released two albums – his debut Meet Jaywon and the follow up Jaywon Reloaded.

Statement from the CEO of Kennis Music, Kenny Ogungbe pictured above with the late singer

“With a deep sense of loss, we announce the shocking death of our darling music star, Goldie Harvey. Goldie, 31, died on Thursday after she complained of a severe headache shortly after her arrival from the United States where she went to witness the Grammy Award.
 She was rushed from her Park View, Ikoyi, Lagos residence to her official hospital, Reddington, Victoria Island, Lagos, where doctors pronounced her dead on arrival at exactly 7:30pm in the evening. We consider this period a gloomy moment for us and the entire Nigerian music industry in view of the circumstance in which she passed away; the abundance of talent she exhibited in her short but eventful music career and the various opportunities her trip to the United States of America would have availed her. She is survived by her father, step- mother, brothers and sisters.

We deeply sympathise with her family and fans all over the world and very grateful to all and sundry, especially, the vibrant Nigerian media for their concern and prompt reportage. We shall keep everybody informed as events unfold as we are devastated by the sudden loss.” Goldie's remains has been deposited at the mortuary. I'm not blogging today...will only bring you update about her untimely demise. Let's use the whole day to mourn her. Goldie and I recently became friends after she called me for a heart to heart. She was also best friends with one of my best friends, Denrele. RIP, angel. Only God knows why this happened.
