According to Kaywa, the stagecraft would have been significantly better if they were still working together under Highly Spiritual .<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kaywa revealed that Lasmid left the label with the assistance of his lawyer based in Nigeria. Although the artist\u2019s departure was not welcomed by Kaywa, he made it clear that working with Lasmid again would be impossible if he decided to return to the label.<\/p>\n<p>The former label boss disclosed that there was no official contract between him and Lasmid after the artist won MTN Hitmaker Season 8 in 2019. Kaywa had invested considerable time and effort into developing Lasmid\u2019s career, and their collaboration had seen success with hits like \u201cFriday Night\u201d and \u201cRunning.\u201d However, following the release of \u201cRunning,\u201d Lasmid decided to part ways with the label, citing a change in their initial conversation and agreement, possibly influenced by others in their circle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:\u00a0Lasmid Departs Highly Spiritual  Label, CEO Kaywa Confirms in Interview (Video)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kaywa, undeterred by the departure, has moved forward and signed four new artists to Highly Spiritual .

However, it remains uncertain if Lasmid\u2019s career trajectory will be affected by his decision to leave Highly Spiritual , as the label continues to focus on nurturing new talent.<\/p>\n<p><!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><!-- close relpost-thumb-wrapper --><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded\" id=\"like-post-wrapper-186753398-9184-64a83b5c2a63a\" data-src=\"https:\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/#blog_id=186753398&amp;post_id=9184&amp;origin=www.onemuzikgh.com&amp;obj_id=186753398-9184-64a83b5c2a63a\" data-name=\"like-post-frame-186753398-9184-64a83b5c2a63a\" data-title=\"Like or Reblog\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\">Like this:<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"button\"><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"sd-text-color\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"banner\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1688751032_496_onemuzikgh_whatsapp.jpg\" alt=\"Banner Image\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1688751031_242_onemuzikgh_whatsapp.jpg\"  class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-lazy-fallback=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1688751032_496_onemuzikgh_whatsapp.jpg\" alt=\"Banner Image\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 --><\/p>\n<p> <!-- A generated by theme --> <\/p>\n<p> <!-- end A --> <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent interview on Hitz FM\u2019s Daybreak Hitz, Kaywa, the former label boss of Lasmid, expressed his disappointment with the artist\u2019s performance at the 2023 Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMA).
