TunesBid Limited is a Lagos-based Nigerian company that launched in February 2021 as a digital marketplace connecting music producers and songwriters with artists, then expanded into operating as a record label. It signed Nigerian singer Ayo Maff to an exclusive recording agreement in December 2023 and, in July 2025, sued him in a Nigerian court alleging breach of contract tied to an EMPIRE Distribution deal negotiated without its involvement.
