Dem mama record boss Timaya still feels heartbroken about Patoranking’s exit from his label.
When Timaya was asked about his relationship with Patoranking, Timaya got agitated and replied;
‘Am bigger than one guy level, I don’t want to leave my career to push his career, he is on another p, I put him somewhere else, I don’t have issues with Patoranking, I handled him first, paid for his Alubarika’s video’.
Patoranking hooked up with Timaya in 2012 and is believed to have signed with Dem Mama Records. He also began working with the label’s manager Prince Oluzor.
In mid-2013, Dem Mama Records released Patoranking’s official debut single titled;
‘Alubarika ‘ and shortly dropped a video for it in August. It is however unclear who has been funding Patoranking’s project. ’ Alubarika ‘has been quite successful in Nigeria and Malaysia.
A Source close to Timaya tells us the singer was surprised when he learnt Patoranking had ditched the label in January 2014.
‘Patoranking won’t pick up his (Timaya) phone calls anymore. He just left the label ‘; a source close to both parties tells us.
Meanwhile, Timaya said his collaboration with Sean Paul would drop soon.
