The relationship between artist Kenny Sol and the label 1:55 AM seems to be nearing its conclusion following issues raised on social media and ongoing discussions between the two parties aimed at amicably ending their contract. News of Kenny Sol’s possible separation from 1:55 AM has been circulating for a while, with some claiming they separated a long time ago, while others suggest it’s a strategy to manipulate fan emotions.
Kenny Sol, one of the prominent artists under 1:55 AM, recently wrote on social media that some people do not wish him well, but he remains steadfast in his music journey. He said: “Some people came after me and lost hope, but I’m still here, standing strong.”
This statement came after an official notice was released and signed by Kenny Mugarura, the head of 1:55 AM, which revealed that the label is giving any artist who wishes to part ways an opportunity to do so amicably. This is seen as a sign that the relationship between Kenny Sol and his label is nearing its end. Reports from InyaRwanda indicate that multiple factors are pushing Kenny Sol towards separating from 1:55 AM. One major issue is the label’s failure to honor their agreement. The contract stipulated that they would assist him in releasing at least four songs each year. However, in 2024, Kenny Sol only released one song, a collaboration with DJ Neptune from Nigeria. That song also did not release as expected, which has not helped the development of Kenny Sol’s music career.
Another issue affecting their relationship is the way Bruce Melodie was highlighted in 1:55 AM’s official announcement as the key artist in the label, overshadowing the works of Kenny Sol and other artists. This has caused tension within Spectacular Company, the management team that represents Kenny Sol, as some are unhappy with how Bruce Melodie has been positioned as the dominant artist in the label.
After several discussions between Spectacular Company and 1:55 AM, there was hope that the major issues would be addressed, but time has passed and nothing has changed. The artist has now gone nearly four months without releasing new music, causing the initial hope to fade away.
Reasons Why Ending the Contract May Be Unavoidable
A significant issue is that Kenny Sol and his team tried to seek assistance from 1:55 AM, but the situation has been mismanaged. Specifically, reports indicate that Kenny Sol and his team repeatedly reached out to the label’s leadership, but no significant action was taken, and they were told that they were being considered for future opportunities with no concrete outcomes.
Although changes have occurred between Kenny Sol and 1:55 AM, the artist has made it clear that he will continue his music career and remain dedicated to his fans. As he mentioned, their support is what keeps him fearless and determined, and he has no plans to end his musical journey.
