Joeboy Exits emPawa, Sets Up New Record Label As Part Of A Dual Deal With Warner Music
In a groundbreaking move that marks a significant milestone in his impressive five-year career, Afrobeats sensation Joseph Akinfenwa-Donus, better known as Joeboy, has inked a transformative dual deal with the global music powerhouse Warner Music, home to renowned artists like Ed Sheeran, Cardi B, Burna Boy, and Ckay.
This dual deal not only sees Joeboy launching his very own entertainment venture, “Young Legend,” but also positions him as the latest flagship artiste for Warner Music from the African continent. This strategic step marks Joeboy’s departure from emPawa after a fruitful five-year tenure, during which he achieved notable success, releasing two EPs (“Love & Light” and “Body, Soul & Spirit“), two albums (“Somewhere Between Beauty & Magic” and “Body & Soul”), and numerous hit singles and features, amassing over 2 billion streams across major digital streaming platforms.

At the helm of the Young Legend label, Joeboy will assume the role of CEO, with Deola Jaiyesimi serving as the Head of Label. Their joint mission is to propel the next wave of Afrobeats superstars onto the global stage.
Joeboy follows in the footsteps of industry heavyweights like Olamide, Don Jazzy, and his former label mentor, Mr Eazi, leveraging his social influence and business acumen to spotlight emerging talent while elevating his own musical standing from a continental sensation to a global force.
We extend our heartfelt wishes for success on his musical journey.
