Rapper Eva Dropped From Trybe Records
Wednesday, November 07, 2012Omoba
The news was made known by the management of Trybe
Records in a statement exclusively released to NET. It reads:
‘Trybe Records and Eva Alordiah have agreed to
terminate her recording contract effective immediately. Trybe Records’ vision
is to discover and nurture the talents of our artists while operating with
purpose, valuing relationships with our partners within the industry, and being
persistent in creating and releasing quality music. Unfortunately, over the
past 5 months Eva’s vision has not aligned with ours and thus, both parties
have agreed to separate.
We wish Eva the best in her future endeavors and
plan on continuing towards our goal of creating quality music for Nigeria and
beyond‘.
NET investigations however reveal that the label is
being modest with the statement. Inside sources told us Eva had since her
signing in June been more than a handful to manage and/or coordinate with,
demanding for more than what she was offered at all times and that the label
was basically ‘tired of her antics’.
‘She never fit in from the start, always trying to
stand out from the rest. She was always asking for more even when eLDee and co
gave her an almost perfect platform to blow up‘, a friend close to the rapper
tells us.
Eva might look like a rookie but some would tell
you she does has a bit of history in the entertainment world. Right before her
footling prominence and hook up with Trybe, she had worked with a few other
managers-promoters.
Eva’s name was first heard while working with
rapper M.I on his debut album, after a bit of running, she hooked up with
former COOL FM OAP BooBoo who worked as her manager along with Obinna Agwu.
Problems prevailed and they call it quits.
Eva also met up with PXC director MEX who tried
signing her to his budding label but both parties fell out after she was
allegedly ‘always rude’ to him, according to those familiar with their
relationship.
NET gathered that she was also considered a
replacement for Kel at CAPital Hill records but the deal wasn’t pursued as she
was considered a ‘high risk’ decision to make.
Eva now works with her manager Ugo Date Izeogu who
we learn is also her boyfriend. ‘Eva needs to throw away her attitude. She
thinks bigger than herself and it’s killing her‘.
Some will however argue that that is what has
gotten her this far, and she sits as one of the more promising female acts
around now; featuring on Psquare and Bez‘s albums and performing at The
Headies.
The rapper has acknowledged her parting ways but
hasn’t gotten back to our queries over the news. ‘I’ll have to call you back,
I’m driving‘, she told our reporter over the phone.
Repeated efforts to get her to speak with us were
unsuccessful.
