Wait 5 sec.

The Mith and Navio recently appeared on the Nothing Serious Podcast hosted by Sabrina Agasha where they weighed in on the ongoing conversation surrounding artists splitting from their management teams.Their comments come shortly after Joshua Baraka parted ways with the management team he had worked with for the last five years.According to the two rappers, artist-management breakups are not something new in the music industry and they shouldn’t always turn into dramatic public conversations.“It’s unfortunate that in this era such things are louder than usual but we’ve seen this happen before,” The Mith explained, noting that artists and managers have been separating for years and many of those situations were handled peacefully without unnecessary noise online.They pointed out that social media and fan bases are what often escalate these situations. According to them, fans of the artist usually rush to claim the artist will perform better alone, while supporters of the management side begin predicting failure for the artist.This back-and-forth then turns a normal business decision into a public war. The Mith added that this kind of tension is also how unnecessary beefs in the entertainment industry begin.Navio also reflected on his own experience, revealing that he parted ways with his management more than a decade ago and the relationship still remained healthy afterward.Joshua Baraka and his former management was a match made in heaven“Over 10 years ago, I was under a management but we parted ways peacefully and we have both made more money for each other than when we were together,” Navio shared.The two emphasized that endings in business relationships do not always have to create enemies, especially in the entertainment industry where artists and former managers can still support each other and continue benefiting professionally even after separating.The post The Mith and Navio weigh in on artist-management breakups appeared first on MBU.
