Collapse of Zylofon Music was ‘losing an important source of support’, it ruined Obibini’s career plans

The hardest thing rapper Obibini has faced in his career, according to him, was “losing an important source of support”.
He was referring to the consequences of the collapse of Zylofon Music, a record label owned by Nana Appiah Mensah (NAM1), CEO of defunct gold dealership and investment firm MenzGold Ghana Ltd.
Speaking to Nana Romeo on Okay FM, he lamented how tough it was to plan his “next move without” the label’s strong support.
“When the [unfortunate] things were happening, I was so ready and poised for action. I had numerous songs, including collaborations – I was so ready for this, and then life happened. It made me sit back and rewrite my stories,” he narrated.
Despite the huge setback, the Ahye Me (It’s Pained Me) hitmaker said, “It’s a good experience and I thank God for it.
“As a boss of mine says, ‘Only a strong man can let go’. So, I took my lessons and I feel like it’s all good. I thank God for this experience. Let’s see what happens next in the next phase.”
Full of gratitude, Obibini fondly underlined “Zylofon is my dear family. Shouts to NAM1.”
He revealed he spoke to NAM1 “once in a while, unlike before,”
“I think he’s still battling his personal problems. It’s understandable,” he explained his inconsistent communication with Nana Appiah Mensah.
“The music is my talent so I have to keep going [by myself],” he noted.
Future
Obibini said his “next line of action is holding me down and showing up for myself.
“Shouts to Zylofon any day, they are my family. Even though we’re not actively together and working, I can’t write my story without them. As it stands now, Obibini is moving Obibini.”
The rap star signed a five-year contract with Zylofon Music in 2017, but “within the second year of my signing [trouble struck]”.
He recalled the impact of the record label in his career.
“In less than three months after I signed to Zylofon, I was performing at Ghana Music Awards UK. That was a nice platform to be on. Then, of course, a lot of things were catered for. Some of which were shelter, transportation and all that – it’s good, and I appropriate the level,” he said.
Obibini concluded by observing “Even though I could say I am, in quotes, hot [not comfortable], it doesn’t look like that from a distance.”
