It was reported that the record label ownership got them arrested and they were also remanded in prison over the issue.
However, new reports has it that they’ve been released but the label has sacked the manager, Osagie, from being Skales representative and has also gotten a new management team for the artist.
According to the reports, he is currently under a new management and PR deal with Upfront and Personal led by Paul Okoye.
Upfront bookings will now handle his management as well as PR and also double as the official booking agency for Baseline Records.
The agency is responsible for managing other top artistes including Seyi Shay and Wande Coal to name a few.
It was also revealed that the new arrangement will see Skales continue to record and release music under Baseline records, while Osagie will refund a portion of the money she was accused of not remitting to the label and diverting into personal account.
