Music producer, sound engineer David Kojo Kyei, popularly known as Kaywa, has opened up for the first time about the end of his working relationship with singer Lasmid, who rose to fame after winning the MTN Hitmaker competition

Speaking on Hitz 109.9 FM Afternoon Ride with Andy Dosty, Kaywa revealed that he signed Lasmid to a one-year contract right after the competition.

He recalled that the budding artiste initially showed great enthusiasm and dedictaion to his music journey.

“We did one year when he won MTN Hitmaker. MTN gave him to me. We did one year contract, and after the contract we had finished and he was always in the studio when his time had expired. He was consistently there. I took care of him, fed him. And he said I should put him back on the label,” Kaywa explained.

Kaywa said he had plans to reinvest in Lasmid and had already recorded six songs with him in anticipation of a possible comeback to the label.

However, he noted that some artists on the Highly Spiritual label were uneasy about Lasmid's return, with the fear that resources would not be enough to support everyone.

In a seperate event, Ghanaian singer and songwriter Kuami Eugene has revealed that he has parted ways with Lynx Entertainment record label.

According to him, his exit came long before the release of his hit song 'Monica.'

He made this known to Doreen Avio of Joy FM during an interview.

“I wasn’t the first person to put it out there that I left Lynx. Richie did that actually, so after he announced that I’ve left Lynx Entertainment on his account, I had a lot of calls, but people didn’t know from 'Monica' time, we were in talks for exits a long time ago."

"When I had Monica playing, I was partially out of Lynx a long time, but I just didn’t want to come put it out there, and when I had Belinda, I was not even at Lynx at all."

He also revealed his decision to cut off his signature Afro hair to mark a fresh start in his music career following his exit from Lynx Entertainment.

“I woke up one morning, and it had been a long time since I got signed to Lynx. I’ve been changing hairstyles from one hairstyle to another hairstyle, but I’ve not had a down cut for a very long time, for about six years. I’ll twist it, then I will do this, and I will unbraid it, leaving the afro. I changed it just to show a new look and the fact that it’s a new beginning for me from Lynx. It’s a transition from the Lynx boy to your family, sweet boy Kwami Eugene,” he said.

The singer has further acknowledged public reactions to his exit from Lynx, citing A Plus and MC Portfolio, who have publicly praised his talent and potential.

“A lot of people are happy. I remember A Plus said something that with Kwame’s talent, if he gets the chance to be on his own with the proper management, he’ll become a very big person one day,” he said.
