Contrary to reports that Tuface Idibia
aka Tubaba, is reuniting with Kennis Music, the record label that
launched him into limelight, the singer said that the working
relationship he has with the label is based on his first album as a solo
artiste.
He however ruled out the possibility of signing on to the label as an artiste.
“I
am still having a good romance with Kennis Music. It has been 10 years
since the release of my first album as a solo artiste, and Kennis Music
is planning a 10th anniversary of that album. The album has been
re-mastered. That’s exactly what I am doing with Kennis music. So, it’s
not about Tubaba joining Kennis Music as an artiste,” he said.
The artiste further revealed that his change of name is for publicity as he cannot run away from his brand name, Tuface.
“Before
I changed my name to Tubaba, everybody had been calling me that name. I
did not really change the name because people still call me Tuface and I
still answer, I just wanted it to be official. That is why you will see
Tubaba in my next album. I cannot run away from Tuface. Everything is
just for publicity basically,” he said.
