CEO of Lynx Entertainment, Richie Mensah, has rejected the notion that artistes should remain with a record label indefinitely.
Speaking in an interview with Joy Prime on June 10, 2025, Richie explained how contracts between record labels and artistes typically operate.
He noted that once a label helps an artiste reach a level where they can manage their career independently, it’s natural for them to consider moving on.
“First of all, it would be selfish to say an artiste shouldn’t leave. The way a label-artiste contract works is that you bring someone on board, support them, and help them grow to a point where they can handle things on their own,” he said.
Richie continued, “At that stage, they don’t need as much support as they did in the beginning, so it’s up to them whether to continue with that support system or find their own path.”
