MTN gave Lasmid to me for one year with GH¢40,000 Ghana cedis to produce two songs and two videos and promote two songs and two videos. Outrageous!
Somebody like Lasmid, after investing and wishing to take him to the next level. I had a conversation with him to move to our next level and suddenly, the narrative changed because now he's become big and some people are influencing him in our circle.

This is the problem. We are in 2023. No one signs 3-4 artistes at a time without adequate resources. Budget, time and management are going to be a problem.
@coby.x commented:
I can’t blame Kaywa for having good intentions for Lasmid, but I mean, he is a big man and a businessman as well. Businessmen don’t move like that. 'Here’s a contract, bring your people down and sign it, after which I can also invest.' Without a contractual agreement, he shouldn’t have put in even a pesewa. We were all here and saw what happened with Blacko and his Chavis records.
@kwesirabbles3016 commented:
Please, you didn't pick Lasmid from anywhere. He was given to you by MTN for one year and has blessed your label. So stop behaving as if the artist is ungrateful, we are beyond that, please.
