Chocolate City Group, one of the continent’s most influential record labels, has just announced a major power move. They’ve appointed the incredible Ifeyinwa Anyadiegwu as their new Vice President. This isn’t just a title change—it’s a massive win for the business side of African music.
Anyadiegwu, who’s been a key player at the label for over eight years, is stepping up to the plate not only as VP but also as the Head of Businesses and Legal Affairs. If you’ve been wondering how Chocolate City keeps signing top acts like Tariq, Young John, and Blaqbonez, look no further. Her strategic genius and legal expertise have been instrumental in building the solid foundation the label stands on today.
According to Chocolate City CEO Abuchi Ugwu, Ifeyinwa’s “dedication, expertise, and strategic approach” have been invaluable. She’s the force behind creating a legal and commercial framework that’s helping African music go global. She’s a champion for intellectual property rights, and her work even helped shape the Nigerian Copyright Act of 2022. That’s serious boss-level stuff right there!
Speaking on her new role, Anyadiegwu is all about the artists. Her goal is to protect their creative rights and make Chocolate City a global powerhouse in music and entertainment. With a Master of Laws in Intellectual Property from the University of Manchester, she’s not just a music executive—she’s a legal powerhouse dedicated to moving the industry forward.
This appointment is a clear message from Chocolate City: they’re not just about the beats; they’re building a world-class business. Anyadiegwu’s elevation is a huge step in ensuring African music gets the respect and protection it deserves on the world stage. We can’t wait to see what she does next!
