Kenny Ogungbe is opening up about what really went down before Tuface Idibia's famous exit from Kennis Music record label in 2007/08 and he says it's not what you think.

The Kennis Music record boss blames the media for leaking out false reports about the 'African Queen' singer's departure from his record label almost ten years ago.

"Media played a role saying he left," Kenny tells Pulse TV at Tuface's 'Fortified' concert in Lagos on September 20.

"His contract expired and Kennis never asked for a renewal… and he never asked for a renewal," Baba Keke (as he's fondly called) added.

"I wasn't hurt when he left… Why should I?" Kenny ended.
