Music: Wizkid Signs With Sony Music

After the war between Universal Music and Sony Music, two major companies, Wizkid has decided to go with Sony Music and just signed a global record deal with Sony Music in New York on the 13th of September.

According to sources, the musician will receive a 7 figure advance (in US Dollars) and will be signed to RCA Records, who will handle his distribution deal in the United States.

All things being equal, Wizkid will put pen to paper on a mega deal with Sony/RCA tomorrow (Tuesday). Everything is agreed in principle.

The figures being mentioned in the Wizkid Sony/RCA deal are mind-blowing. Even crazier when u consider the Naira equivalent. Lol

The deal places Wizkid and Davido on the same platform, which makes things very interesting. (Ayo Jay signed with RCA directly).

Universal made a strong play for Wizkid (a top exec travelled to London for talks months back), but Sony offered a much better "package".
