Rich Mavoko's music career took a dramatic turn in 2019 when he left Diamond's record label WCB without warning. The singer's fans were left wondering what had happened to him, but the truth was far more complicated.
According to sources, Mavoko was forced to sell his land, cars, house, and even his mother's land to settle the debt owed to WCB after he left the label. The singer allegedly had to part with his assets to pay the fine for breach of contract, leaving him financially strained.
Speaking out about his departure from WCB, Mavoko stated that he didn't see a future with the label and that he didn't owe anyone an apology. He claimed that his contract never ended, but there were issues that went against his wishes.
However, sources close to the situation claim that WCB took advantage of Mavoko, sucking him dry and leaving him with nothing. The label allegedly took possession of his YouTube channel and didn't give him the rights to his songs produced at WCB.
Despite Mavoko's silence on the matter, his friend Harmonize has come out in support of him, asking critics to stop celebrating his disappearance from the music scene. Harmonize's post on social media highlighted the struggles that Mavoko faced after leaving WCB.
