Malawi’s rising Afro-Pop sensation, Pop Young (real name Vitumbiko Chisoni), has faced a significant twist in his musical journey. The termination of his contract with talent management and music distribution company Akometsi has led to the removal of all his music videos from YouTube. Let’s delve into the details of this development.

Pop Young’s collaboration with Akometsi had been instrumental in catapulting his career. The company managed his affairs, promoted his music, and distributed his content across various platforms. Hits like “Mesa” and “Wakulatu Popizo” gained popularity, thanks to their joint efforts.

On March 2nd, 2024, Akometsi officially announced the end of Pop Young’s contract. The decision was mutual, and both parties expressed gratitude for their collaboration. Pop Young’s journey as an independent artist began, and fans eagerly awaited his next move.

With the contract termination, Akometsi faced a dilemma regarding Pop Young’s music videos on their YouTube channel. Two options were considered.

Transfer to Pop Young’s Channel, Initially, the plan was to transfer the videos to Pop Young’s newly created YouTube channel. However, technical challenges hindered this option.

Deletion on Akometsi’s Channel, Ultimately, Akometsi decided to remove the videos from their channel. This move respected Pop Young’s desire to have his songs on his own platform.
