History was made today as TMoney Atlanta & L’america Recording Label, a subsidiary of Rehoboth Global Services Limited, officially signed Oladele Samson Oluwaseun, popularly known as Samygin, as its first artist, signaling the dawn of a bold new chapter in the global music industry.

The signing ceremony, held in Lagos, Nigeria was more than a corporate milestone—it was an emotional, symbolic, and generational moment for the label’s leadership. For Samygin, it was the realization of a dream nurtured through years of dedication and resilience.

For the management of TMoney Atlanta & L’america, Samygin’s signing represents much more than an artist deal. It is the beginning of a vision to merge artistry with innovation and strategic business growth.

“This signing represents our vision of discovering and nurturing unique voices that can inspire across borders. Samygin embodies excellence, creativity, and originality – values at the very heart of our label,” the company noted.

With bases in Atlanta (USA) and a strong international footprint through L’america, the label is positioning itself as a powerhouse in artist development, production, branding, and global music distribution.

In an emotional reflection, the Chairman of TMoney Atlanta & L’america Recording Label explained why Samygin’s signing is both a professional and personal journey.

“Today is more than just the signing of a contract; it is the beginning of a bold vision. With the onboarding of Samygin as our flagship artist, we are making a statement to the world—that we are here to build, to innovate, and to lead,” he said.

The Chairman revealed the deeply personal significance of the decision, noting that while Samygin is his partner’s nephew, the choice was ultimately driven by legacy and conviction.

“It was not an easy decision at first, but for the sake of my late mother-in-law, Pastor Mrs. Ann Jacobs, whose prayers and legacy continue to guide us, I accepted. This partnership is about more than music—it is about honoring a legacy and building a movement that will inspire audiences and bridge cultures through sound.”

For Dr. Ranti Jacobs Agbaminoja, CEO of the label and aunt to Samygin, the day was layered with both professional pride and personal emotion.

“Today is a proud and emotional day for me. As CEO, I see this as a defining moment for the label, but as Samygin’s aunt, it carries an even deeper meaning. I’ve watched him stay committed to his craft despite challenges, and seeing his journey align with our vision is truly remarkable,” she said.

Dr. Ranti also paid tribute to Samygin’s late mother, her cousin, who passed away in 2020.

“I know she is smiling down on us today, proud of her son. This is not just a business decision—it is a generational blessing. For me, it’s about legacy, partnership, and impact.”

For the young artist himself, the deal represents a turning point. Beaming with excitement, Samygin said he is ready to embrace the responsibility of being the label’s pioneer act.

“This is more than just a deal; it’s a destiny-defining opportunity. I’m grateful to TMoney Atlanta & L’america for believing in me, and I’m ready to give the world music that speaks to the soul,” he declared.

Industry watchers have described the partnership as a “game-changer”, predicting that Samygin’s first project under the label will set a high bar for upcoming talents. With the financial strength and global networks of Rehoboth Global Services Limited behind it, TMoney Atlanta & L’america has made clear that it is not just building careers—it is building legacies.

As the label officially launches with Samygin at the forefront, a new movement in global music is taking root—one that promises to merge family, faith, and business with sound that will echo across generations.

Business Tycoon Oluwasegun Rolland Elusoji Cries Out Over Alleged Threats to Life Amid High-Stakes Legal War with Adeseye Joseph Famojuro

In a dramatic turn in an ongoing legal showdown, prominent entrepreneur Oluwasegun Rolland Elusoji has gone public with chilling threats against his life and that of his family, allegedly linked to his legal battles with influential figure Otunba Adeseye Joseph Famojuro.

Elusoji revealed that the threats began on August 26, 2025, when Famojuro reportedly called some of his associates, vowing to “finish me” and make him “disappear from this earth.” Famojuro allegedly taunted Elusoji, warning that he “does not know who he is” and promising to destroy his reputation nationwide.

The intimidation escalated two days later when Famojuro reportedly contacted Elusoji’s sister, reiterating threats against the family, including his elderly parents. “These threats have left my entire family living in fear, and we are genuinely concerned for our safety,” Elusoji said.

Elusoji claims that Famojuro’s campaign of terror has extended to people close to him, with repeated references to prior incidents involving an associate known as Auxiliary, signaling a dangerous pattern of intimidation.

Sources close to the matter reveal that the threats coincide with a heated legal battle between Elusoji and Famojuro, raising concerns that the intimidation may be a deliberate attempt to influence the outcome of the case. Legal experts warn that such actions constitute serious criminal offenses under Nigerian law—including intimidation, harassment, and threats to life—and could worsen Famojuro’s legal position if proven.

“Since then, he has been contacting individuals close to me, threatening them as well,” Elusoji explained. “He has repeatedly stated that he will make me disappear from this earth and further warned me to ‘go and ask what he did to Auxiliary.’ These threats have placed my family and me in constant fear. At present, the Nigerian Police Force appears so compromised that urgent matters like this are not treated with the seriousness they deserve, simply because he is in a position of power.” The Issue of Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, a known Auxiliary, is quite a different case, as no one knows what transpired between them in Oyo state park issues, but the Elusoji Court case is both in the USA and Nigeria. So comparing both is not sensible at all.

“This is more than just a legal battle,” Elusoji continued. “It has become a fight for our very survival. We are appealing to IGP Kayode Egbetokun and all relevant authorities to take urgent action before it is too late.” This Adeseye has failed to show up in the Court case in the USA and Nigeria. So why go ahead to declare someone wanted or resort to a threat to the life of his loved Ones?

The allegations have sparked outrage among human rights advocates, who are calling for immediate protection for Elusoji and his family. Critics are questioning whether law enforcement can act impartially, given the alleged perpetrator’s influence. Who is afraid of Adeseye? Is it the police or EFCC? Is it because he is Governor Makinde’s ally, or is he the Governor?

Observers warn that the case could set a precedent for how citizens are treated when threatened by powerful individuals, stressing the urgent need for transparency, accountability, and protection of life—irrespective of status or influence.

As the legal battle rages on, the nation watches closely, with many calling for swift action to ensure that justice prevails and that no one is above the law.
