Why I’m Not Surprised With Tekno’s Success – Iyanya

Mavin Records artiste, Iyanya, has insisted that
there was no reason for him to be envious of his
former protege, Tekno Miles as he always knew
that he was going to achieve great things.
Iyanya, who reminisced on when Tekno was
newly signed to his former co-owned label, Triple
MG, said that it was people that were trying to
create a form of rivalry between himself and the
lady when there was none existing.

“I am so happy for Tekno and his success and I
am not surprised. At a point, we were all together
and this is a young guy that works very hard.

He
worked every night and when we woke up in the
morning, he would still be working. So, I am not
surprised that he has finally made it. I believe
this is just the beginning and there are many
more things to come his way. When he came to
Triple MG, he sprayed his hair gold and anytime I
wanted to call him, I referred to him as golden
boy.

I am very happy he is doing great things.
How would I be envious of somebody that Ubi
Franklin and I raised from our platform? We used
our platform to promote him and I cannot be
envious of him; there is no need for that. People
would always try to say negative things but we
are very fine,” he told Punch.

Iyanya added that he was trying to make the
most of his distribution deal with American
super-star, Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. “I have a
distribution deal with Roc Nation and VP Record
and they have some of my songs that they have
picked for their market. Even though the songs
are for their market, they still represent Nigeria
and Africa but those are the ones that they
understand and can relate to,” he saig
