Rayvanny Denies Plans to Leave Wasafi Classic Baby (WCB) ¶
Published on June 10, 2020
Raymond Shaban Mwakyusa, better known by his stage name Rayvanny, has come out to clarify claims of uncertainty over his future at Wasafi Classic Baby (WCB). The singer, who has been with the label since 2015, denied reports doing rounds that he was planning to exit the Diamond Platnumz-owned label.
During an interactive session on Wasafi TV with his fans, Rayvanny stated that his ties with WCB were for life. He added that if he were to exit the label, he would not join another record label but instead launch his own.
“Before I even say a word, Vanny Boy and Wasafi are for life. I want to first thank my management, WCB Wasafi; I greatly thank Diamond Platnumz for the far I have come. If I decide to have a label, I can even have about five of them. So, there is no way that I am leaving Wasafi to go to another label. Maybe I own about 10 labels under my name,” he said.
Rayvanny's affirmation to stick with the label comes barely a week after singer Bahati called out Harmonize to ‘repair’ his relationship with WCB CEO, Platnumz. Bahati urged Harmonize to respect the fact that Platinumz played a major role in his success and to apologize and walk away with his blessings.
