Reekado Banks Makes Powerful Revelation: Says He Left Mavin Records Prematurely

August 19, 2025

Nigerian singer Reekado Banks has confessed that he parted ways with his former label, Mavin Records, earlier than he should have.

Reekado Banks gained widespread recognition after signing with Mavin Records, where he won Rookie of the Year at The Headies in 2014 and the controversial Next Rated award in 2015.

However, in 2018, he exited the label to establish his own imprint, Banks Music.

Speaking in a recent interview with reality star, Teddy A, on the Echoo Room, Banks revealed that he realised that his exit from Mavin was premature when he started handling music business by himself.

Reekado Banks also clarified that his exit wasn’t due to a disagreement, stressing that his contract had ended two years before he took the bold step of leaving instead of renewing the contract.

“It [my exit from Mavin Records] wasn’t a conflict situation. I was pretty young and pretty fixated on what I wanted to do -I wanted to leave. Anyways, my contract has ended two years prior. I signed a three-year contract and I allowed it to ride for another two years. So, I was there for five years without reviewing the contract.

“So, when it was time, I thought I wanted to do this [leave] now. I thought I could do it now. I just embarked on the journey, as many people would view it, prematurely. As soon as I jumped into the sea as well, I realised how premature it was,” he said.
