Wande Coal now working with D’banj’s former manager

Sources have confirmed to NET that Wande Coal
and his erstwhile manager, Nana Abbey, are no
longer working together.

The pop musician, who worked with Abbey for
about seven years, ended their business relationship
in late 2013.

Nana Abbey once worked for popular artiste
manager Sunday Are, who was at the time Mo'Hits
Records' group manager. He was assigned by Are
to be in charge of the chubby pop singer, and that is
how the pair developed a working relationship.

After the Mo'Hits crew broke up in 2012, Nana
Abbey quit his job at List Entertainment (Sunday
Are's management company) and worked closely
with Wande Coal.

Abbey was still spotted with the Globacom
ambassador at the Felabration musical festival in
2013 which was held in October, but sources tell
NET Wande and Abbey parted ways in November
2013.

'Yup, they're no more working together. The public
might not know but industry insiders have known
this for a while now', a source close to Wande Coal
confirmed to NET.

In 2013, Wande Coal setup his Black Diamond
Entertainment (BDE) company, walking away
from his deal with former label boss Don Jazzy's
Mavin Records.

A close source to Wande Coal tells us that Nana
Abbey decided to leave Wande and BDE as he felt
he no longer could align with the structure of the
company.

'Nana and Wande couldn't just get on the same
page again, so he decided to leave', the source said.
Nana Abbey has setup his own company,
SilverLight Events and Entertainment LTD.

However, despite the split from Wande Coal,
Abbey's bio on Twitter still describes his outfit as
the official management company for Black
Diamond Entertainment.

NET has also learnt that Wande Coal is currently
working with D'banj's former manager and right
hand man Seun Bankulli.

Bankulli, when reached by NET, confirmed the
news, explaining that his company, Bankulli
Entertainment, is currently providing support
structure for Wande's Black Diamond Entertainment
outfit.

'Yes it's true. Bankulli Entertainment will oversee
the technical details of Black Diamond
Entertainment and work closely with Wande as he
plans to release his new album', Bankulli told our
reporter over the phone.

NET's calls to Nana Abbey were not responded to,
neither were text messages replied.

Calls placed to a contact number listed on Wande
Coal's Twitter page were also not responded to.
