Kaywa, one of Ghana’s top music producers, has opened up about the unexpected departure of his former signee, Kurl Songx, from the label in 2019, an exit that, according to him, came without any formal notice.
During an interview on Hitz FM, Kaywa, the CEO of Highly Spiritual Music, reflected on the strained period leading up to Kurl Songx’s departure, attributing the split to internal tensions and outside influences.
“He left because I think there were maybe other opportunities out there for him. It was not on a good note. There were back and forths. I remember he had an issue with even the artistes on the label too. I’m not sure, there’s any record label that says that I’m signing just you this artiste and nobody else comes on the label again,” Kaywa stated.
He suggested that while Kurl Songx may have believed he was moving on to greater prospects, the decision was also shaped by growing pressure from external voices, including fans and members of the media, who stoked feelings of neglect.
“You see that feeling like once you’re in there and then you’re feeling the attention is not on me. The pressure and usually the fans can cause this; not only the fans but media personalities as well. They will tell you, ‘Leave him, he’s wasting your time. I mean, now they’re projecting other artists.’ So, all these things come to play. And so, like I said, when he wanted to leave, I didn’t say anything. In fact, his exit was not communicated,” he said.

Kaywa noted that juggling multiple artistes can often breed discontent, especially when some begin to feel overshadowed. He emphasized that the situation escalated partly because of perceptions that Kurl Songx was no longer a priority for the label.
In a surprising turn of events, however, Kaywa revealed that Kurl Songx has since returned, this time with humility and a heartfelt apology.
“I’m saying this because, now, as I speak with you, he’s back with me. He’s like, he’s one faithful guy right now. He came apologising and I said, ‘Listen, we all make mistakes,’” he added.
Kaywa averred he believes in second chances and was happy to welcome the artist back, expressing optimism about the renewed working relationship.
