emPawa Africa of Mr Eazi’s Is Set Acquire African Music Catalogues:
Afrobeats star and entrepreneur Mr Eazi is expanding his business, announcing a bold plan to acquire African music catalogues through his company, emPawa Africa.
On Monday, September 15, 2025, Mr Eazi made the announcement on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, inviting music rights holders to reach out.
“Btw I’m buying catalogues so if you got African music catalogue that you own (with proof) and you have 3 years earnings history and you wanna sell a piece contact @emPawaAfrica,” he wrote.
This move mirrors a growing trend in the global music industry, where the rights to an artist’s body of work are being acquired by companies for long-term revenue. This allows artists to get a substantial upfront payment, while the acquiring company profits from future royalties.
By requiring proof of ownership and at least three years of earnings history, Mr Eazi and emPawa Africa are targeting established catalogues with a proven track record. This strategic decision aligns with Mr Eazi’s broader goal of keeping African intellectual property within the continent, further solidifying emPawa’s position as a key player in Africa’s expanding music economy.
This new venture follows the company’s recent appointment of Miller Williams as Head of Publishing, a role focused on catalogue growth and international expansion. Known for discovering and developing artists like Joeboy, emPawa Africa is now entering a new phase aimed at reshaping how African music is valued and monetized globally.
With this initiative, Mr Eazi continues to demonstrate that he is not just an artist but also a forward-thinking entrepreneur setting new standards for the business of African music.
