Why haven't you published Akoo Nana's deal announcement? Fans question Zylofon Media

Zylofon Music has offered Akoo Nana a three-year management deal Zylofon Music has offered Akoo Nana a three-year management deal

Three days after Zylofon Media boss, Nana Appiah Mensah declared that his outfit has decided to offer Akoo Nana a three-year management deal, the arts and entertainment conglomerate has not shared the video which captures the announcement on it's various social media accounts nor published the news on its website.

The development, according to some fans is unfathomable considering the fact that the story is trending.

The announcement of the proposed management deal at a durbar in Kasoa came barely days after Nana Appiah Mensah paid a visit to the vicinity and committed to creating a million jobs in the municipality.

Meanwhile, Communication Director of Zylofon Music, Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo has reacted to suggestions that the label has signed a record deal with Akoo Nana.

In an interview with Zylofon FM, Mr. Asamoah-Baidoo noted that the CEO's statement has been misinterpreted, stressing that Akoo Nana has been offered a management deal; not a record deal.

"Our CEO Nana Appiah Mensah’s deal was very emphatic but a lot of people didn’t take notice of it. He said Zylofon Music after some deliberations are lending Akoo Nana a three-year management deal. The catch word here is lending, which is proposing or granting Akoo Nana a three-year deal. So officially, Akoo Nana has not been signed to Zylofon Music yet. A proposal has been thrown to Akoo Nana now, based on those decisions that were made. When the acceptance comes in, that’s when we can consider it as a done deal and really agree on the terms and conditions" he said.

"There’s a difference between a record deal and a management deal. Management deal comprises of only taking care of the artiste’s business, ensuring that you have gigs to play and your publicity is our there. But when it comes to record deal, it includes recording, promotion, publicity and taking care of the artiste. And what the CEO said was a recording deal and as to if Akoo Nana will agree to accept it is also a different issue," he clarified.
