Empire Entertainment responds to Dobbles break up claims

Over the years, duos and groups such as Akyeame, Echo, Klala, Praye, Wutah, D3 and a host of others have separated and taken up solo music careers.

However, a musical duo that is still strong and churning out hit after hit in the spirit of unity is Dobble. Dobble burst out onto the music scene with its first single 'walai talai' and since then, it has moved from one level to the other on the ladder of success even though they are yet to be accorded the necessary recognition.

About two weeks ago, RTP Awards-nominated Radio Entertainment Talk Show Host, Sammy Flex interviewed the Ghanaian duo Dobble on the best entertainment show in Ghana, Flex On Pluzz and among other things, Dobble revealed that they are no more under the umbrella of Bola Ray's Empire Entertainment.

That was quite of a shocking news as many believe that Empire Entertainment is a reputable record label that can help Dobble become a household name.

But deeper investigations by your authoritative Flex Newspaper, has revealed that in as much as the contract between Empire Entertainment and Dobble expired in April 2014, their marriage is far from over as both parties are still in talks to ensure that the contract is renewed.

Speaking to the Assistant Record Label Manager of Empire Entertainment, Emmanuel Kwasi Kwarsie in an exclusive interview, he revealed that under Empire Entertainment, Dobble has released singles such as 'walai talai', 's3k3', 'emana', 'spark ma motor', 'wop3 eyi', 'asor' featuring Guru and Gasmilla, 'deepest side' featuring Shatta Wale, 'good mood', etc.

And with all things being equal, it's expected that as planned, Dobble will release its first album with Empire Entertainment still being its record label.

He noted that, for this reason, Empire Entertainment is most likely to renew the contract it had with Dobble adding that the first album from Dobble, which has already been completed, will be a double album titled 'Africa to the World'.

It's hoped that with the release of 'Africa to the World', the real worth of Dobble as a duo would be felt. As and when the contract between Dobble and Empire Entertainment is renewed, Flex newspaper will be the first media house to let you know.
