Chocolate City has released an official press release confirming the signing of Femi Kuti to its roster. The multiple Grammy nominee will now be managed by the Audu Maikori led label which is home to top Nigerian rappers M.I and Ice Prince.
"We
love good music here at Chocolate City and are big fans of Femi Kuti
and his work- this deal marks another significant milestone in Chocolate
City’s development as the leading entertainment company in and around
Africa" says Chocolate City’s General Manager, Aibee Abidoye.
She went on to further state that "the
Afrobeat genre has found new interpretation through Femi’s prolific
body of work and we believe that through this partnership ,we will not
only revive the Afrobeat genre (distinct from Afrobeats) as a movement
locally but also ensure that it is well positioned internationally and
hopefully we can (finally) bring home that much deserved Grammy."
Femi Kuti announced yesterday (October 5, 2014) that he had signed a management deal with Chocolate City
