Nigerian singer, Liya has shared her reasons for abruptly leaving her record label, DMW.
Liya, sometimes referred to as DMW’s first woman, talked candidly about her exit from the record company in a recent Echoroom podcast episode.
Even though she released hits like “Lakiriboto” and “Melo” while she was a member of DMW, she believed that her career wasn’t receiving the recognition it deserved.
She was forced to decide to give up the label as a result of this impression.
