Audu Maikori, Chocolate City CEO on MI’s new position as chief Operating officer of CC Music:

“Basically, the company is restructuring. What we are trying to do is make sure we put the right people in the right positions. As you know, MI is a popular musician and has a background in business…also in terms of his passion and also having an ear that’s almost as good as mine for music. We’ve been talking about this for two and a half years so it’s not a new thing. Primarily, I believe in being able to empower people. I think it’s very important. It’s not enough to be an artist because that is transient, but also to be an executive, to be in a position to take control of their careers. Jesse [Jagz] is going to be heading production as well. We are looking for other young people to be working with, to add value.”
