For very weird reasons, the record deal between pop star, Wizkid and his protege, L.A.X has been shrouded in secrecy for the past six months.
In August 2013, Wizkid signed L.A.X to his Starboy Records and he officially announced him with this tweet.
Follow my g @LaxSTARBOY! welcome him to the family! #StarBoy
— Wizkid (@wizkidayo) August 20, 2013
And in December 2014, L.A.X, in an exclusive interview with Thenetng, said, ‘I have a record label deal with Starboy to release two albums in a duration of two years.‘
So by Thenetng calculations, L.A.X and Starboy Records part ways at the end 2015.
