The CEO of EMB Record Bahati has lost one of his top performing artistes on the label.

Bahati had to bid Mr Seed farewell as he moves on to seek better fortune as an independent artiste.

"After two successful years being signed under EMB Records, I have finally decided to go independent and be my own artiste for the sole purpose of paving way for other young and coming artists that Bahati has been taking in that need the platform and support," Mr Seed said in a statement. 

He hinted on his next move.

"I also in return would like to nurture other upcoming artists for it has been a dream for too long now to do something about the talented young artistes that need that one push to realize their dream..."

As usual, Mr Seed also has to quell wagging tongues and whispers of this being an acrimonious split.

"Me (sic) and Bahati still remain brothers and I'll always wish him the very best in everything he does. If there will be other stories that will rise up, I will address them to everyone because I am already getting word on the streets that are not pleasing to my ears."

He continued, "Anyways we start the year, 2019, on a high note, this year we make more moves and win more souls...Continue watching the space and continue supporting me as I push this gospel of Jesus Christ .. 2019 is my time!! #StarBornEmpire."

Responding to this, Bahati's bland response was, "All the best brother. God bless you."
