Upfront and Personal becomes Wande Coal's booking, PR and management company.

The ‘Baby hello’ singer and his former management Bankulli Entertainment parted ways due to irreconcilable differences and failure to reach compromise on a number of issues.

According to a source close to both parties, “Wande Coal and Bankulli have been having issues for a while now largely due to attitude problems from Wande, but now they’ve finally parted ways when all efforts to resolve the matter amicably failed.”
