MTN Explains Why They Dropped Wizkid, Sean Tizzle & Timaya As Ambassdors

A fan asked on Twitter and the
telecoms giant replied.
Read their full explanation in a
statement they released below:-
“Although there is a finite number
of brand ambassadors we can have
at any point in time, Nigerian
artistes can continue to monetise
their intellectual works through our
distribution channels such as the
Caller Tunez and Music Plus
platforms.
As was originally conceptualised,
the ambassador ship will
continually evolve to accommodate
new talents and cater for diverse
segments.
This year, we are using a
segmented approach and there will
be ambassadors for each segment
of our market.
Using this criteria, new artistes like
Cobhams Asuquo will be coming on
board the MTN Ambassadorial
family.
In May 2015, stars including
Davido, Don Jazzy, Tiwa Savage,
Dr. Sid, Sound Sultan, Iyanya,
Chidinma, BankyW, KCee as well as
Saka, Osuofia, Mama Geeand
others all renewed their contracts
with MTN.
The list of those who won’t be
staying with MTN contains Nigerian
pop stars like Wizkid, Sean Tizzle,
and Timaya”.
