BFA and Co Legal Helps Davido Launch Nine+ Records with UnitedMasters

In a groundbreaking move that is poised to reshape the landscape of the music industry, BFA and Co Legal, a prominent entertainment and business law firm, has played a pivotal role in facilitating the launch of Nine+ Records in collaboration with UnitedMasters, spearheaded by Afrobeats sensation Davido. This milestone venture marks not only a significant progression in Davido’s illustrious career but also signals his metamorphosis into a formidable force in music entrepreneurship.

The genesis of Nine+ Records can be traced back to the 2023 UnitedMasters SelectCon event, where an auspicious encounter between Davido and Steve Stoute, the chairman of UnitedMasters, laid the groundwork for a visionary partnership. Recognizing Davido’s extraordinary talent and untapped potential as a music industry mogul, Stoute challenged him to envision a record label capable of rivaling established industry behemoths.

For Davido, whose passion for nurturing emerging talent is deeply ingrained in his artistic ethos, the prospect of spearheading Nine+ Records resonated profoundly. It presented an opportunity not only to empower burgeoning artists but also to cement his legacy as a torchbearer for the next generation of musical trailblazers. “Nurturing new talent is a passion I’ve always held,” asserts Davido. “I’ve been doing it since Afrobeats wasn’t even a recognized genre.”

However, Davido is cognizant of the intricate nuances and challenges inherent in the music business landscape. In navigating these complexities, the sage counsel and wealth of experience provided by Steve Stoute are invaluable. Together, they form a formidable alliance poised to steer Nine+ Records towards unprecedented heights of success.

Central to the narrative of Nine+ Records’ ascension is the emphasis on structure and solidarity. BFA and Co Legal, led by Bobo Ajudua, CEO and Davido’s manager, played a seminal role in orchestrating the historic deal that birthed the label. Recognizing the indispensability of a robust framework and a cohesive team dynamic, BFA and Co Legal underscore the significance of laying a strong foundation for sustainable growth and longevity.

“We are confident that Davido’s visionary zeal, coupled with Steve Stoute’s seasoned expertise and the unwavering support of a dedicated team, will propel Nine+ Records to unparalleled global acclaim,” affirms Ima Elijah, spokesperson for BFA and Co Legal.

The successful negotiation and execution of this landmark deal not only epitomize BFA and Co Legal’s prowess in the realm of entertainment law but also underscore their steadfast commitment to realizing the aspirations of visionary artists like Davido. As trailblazers in their own right, BFA and Co Legal stand poised to continue shaping the trajectory of the African and global music industries, heralding a new era of innovation, inclusivity, and artistic empowerment.

In essence, the launch of Nine+ Records represents not merely a business venture but a seismic cultural shift—a testament to the transformative power of collaboration, creativity, and unwavering determination in forging a brighter, more vibrant future for music on a global scale.
