CKay also appreciated Salubi, saying, “I couldn’t be more proud of this moment. From us being two young dreamers in Kaduna, Nigeria, to travelling the world and blessing people with the gift of music… Seeing how far we’ve come gives me great joy. I love and appreciate you always broski!”

On his part, Salubi disclosed that he will serve as the managing director of the music company.

CKay rose to stardom following the release of his hit song ‘Love Nwantiti’ in 2019.

He was signed to Loopy Music but later merged with Chocolate City in 2015. Under the label, he released his second extended play ‘CKay the First’ which housed ‘Love Nwantiti’.

In 2021, CKay disclosed that he was not signed to Chocolate City but to Warner Music South Africa. He also recalled how he disobeyed his parents to pursue music.

Last year, the singer expressed delight after Olamide, the rapper, enlisted him for his song ‘Trumpet‘.

In April, the duo also combined forces to put out another song titled ‘Wahala’.
