Deal sheet
- Status
- Unresolved. The joint "PG Records Entertainment / MAD Solutions LLC" credit runs across Guchi's own-billed catalogue from 2019 through 17 January 2024 ("Leave Me Now"), is absent from every own-billed release between 21 August 2024 ("No Touching") and 4 March 2026 ("Polo (Sped Up)"), then reappears on the two most recent releases checked, 19 June and 14 August 2026 ("Something About Your Love (Ganja)" and "Call Me"). No party has announced any of the three changes.
- Type
- Distribution
- Parties
- PG Records Entertainment, MAD Solutions
- Amount
- Not disclosed
- Rights covered
- Sound recordings only. The phonogram (℗) credit line is the only right named in any source located; no source discusses publishing, and no publisher or administrator is named anywhere in the catalogue metadata checked.
- Territory
- Not stated in the credit line. None of Guchi's phonogram credits carry a territory qualifier of the kind this desk has documented elsewhere (for example, "South Africa – Sony Music Entertainment Africa (Pty) Ltd"). The Apple catalogue was read on the Nigerian storefront. MAD Solutions LLC's own material describes operations spanning Nigeria, South Africa, Canada and the United States, but that does not establish the territory of whatever arrangement the joint credit records. No territory can be read from the primary source.

- Sources
- Apple catalogue lookup for Guchi (Apple artist ID 1458505791), Nigerian storefront, HTTP 200, resultCount 57, read 25 September 2026, returning the phonogram credit line and release date for every collection in the catalogue from 2017 to 2026. Of these, 36 distinct titles carry a PG Records Entertainment and/or MAD Solutions phonogram credit: 41 collections billed to "Guchi" alone, plus three further collections co-billed to a featured act but still carrying a PG Records credit, "Taken Over" with LADIPOE (collection 1669232013, 3 February 2023), "Composure" with Masterkraft (collection 1817995119, 26 November 2024) and "Gimme The Money" with SALIMA CHICA (collection 1850516964, 14 November 2025), with duplicate storefront entries for the same title and date collapsed. The joint credit "PG Records Entertainment / MAD Solutions LLC" first appears on a duplicate entry of her debut single "No Be Jazz" (collection 1659132443, original release date 2 April 2019; the same title also exists under collection 1458505782 crediting "MVP" alone) and runs, with several early duplicate entries, through "Leave Me Now" (collection 1726146891/1724079040, 17 January 2024). From "No Touching" (collection 1817987525, 21 August 2024) through "Polo (Sped Up)" (collections 1880375938/6767302818, 4 March 2026), every own-billed release reads "PG Records Entertainment Limited" or "PG Records Ent Limited" with no MAD Solutions credit. The joint credit then reappears on "Something About Your Love (Ganja)" (collection 6776613049, 19 June 2026) and "Call Me" (collection 6794238080, 14 August 2026), the two most recent own-billed releases in the lookup. · Deezer album endpoint for "Feeling Good", read 25 September 2026, returning label "PG Records Entertainment", release date 2023-12-04 and UPC 704260793282. No MAD Solutions credit in this field, despite falling inside the joint-credit era on Apple. · Deezer album endpoint for "Leave Me Now", read 25 September 2026, returning label "PG Records Entertainment", release date 2024-01-17 and UPC 704260938225. No MAD Solutions credit in this field. · Deezer album endpoint for "No Touching", read 25 September 2026, returning label "PG Records Ent Limited", release date 2024-08-21 and UPC 766214667841, the first release on a new UPC prefix. · Deezer album endpoint for "Pressure", read 25 September 2026, returning label "PG Records Ent Limited", release date 2025-02-26 and UPC 766214675433. · Deezer album endpoint for "Your Type", read 25 September 2026, returning label "PG Records Ent Limited", release date 2025-07-18 and UPC 766214682738. · Deezer album endpoint for "Gimme The Money", read 25 September 2026, returning label "PG Records Ent Limited", release date 2025-11-14 and UPC 766214689300, the most recent release on the second UPC prefix. · Deezer album endpoint for "Something About Your Love (Ganja)", read 25 September 2026, returning label "PG Records Entertainment", release date 2026-06-19 and UPC 601527045521, a third UPC prefix. Deezer's label field does not name MAD Solutions even though Apple's phonogram credit for this release does. · Deezer album endpoint for "Call Me", read 25 September 2026, returning label "PG Records Entertainment", release date 2026-08-14 and UPC 601527058040. Same divergence from the Apple credit as above. · Feature.fm smart-link page for Guchi's "Relate" (released 2 March 2023), read 25 September 2026, stating "On behalf of MAD Solutions, Feature.fm sets cookies that can identify you as a visitor," naming MAD Solutions as the page's data controller. Falls inside the joint-credit era. · Feature.fm smart-link page for Guchi's "Leave Me Now" (shown release date 16 January 2024), read 25 September 2026, same "on behalf of MAD Solutions" data-controller language. The Apple credit for this release is dated one day later, 17 January 2024, the last release of the first joint-credit era. · Feature.fm smart-link page for Guchi's "All Over You / Mon Bebe" (released 1 June 2023), read 25 September 2026, same "on behalf of MAD Solutions" data-controller language. · Nigerian Tribune interview, published 27 April 2019, stating Guchi "is signed to Media Viva Productions Company (MVP)," run by broadcaster Israel Edjeren, at the point of her debut single "No Be Jazz." No mention of PG Records Entertainment or MAD Solutions. Used to establish her label affiliation predates the first PG Records Entertainment credit. · Trade profile published 26 August 2022, already used on this desk's Phyno record, describing MAD Solutions as a Lagos-founded digital distributor whose "major service is digital music distribution," later expanded to "digital marketing, label services, public relations, and music publishing." Does not name Guchi. · PG Records Entertainment's own X account, read 25 September 2026, joined September 2024, bio reading "The label that builds legends. Music II Film II Events. Stream your Fav Artists Guchi. Modola. Coblaze. Omizzy. Sugarbana." No location or website listed in the bio. · MusicBrainz artist entry for Guchi ("Nigerian Afropop singer"), read 25 September 2026. A releases query against this artist ID returns exactly one own-billed release, "All Over You / Mon Bebe" (2023-06-02), which falls inside the joint-credit era but carries no label-info in the response checked. MusicBrainz neither corroborates nor contradicts the credit-line pattern beyond confirming this one release exists.
Read this before citing: THIS IS NOT A RECORD OF A DISCLOSED TRANSACTION. No distribution agreement, licence, signing or investment is claimed here as a legal fact, and no party, Guchi, PG Records Entertainment or MAD Solutions LLC, has published an announcement naming the other. What is established is narrower: a phonogram credit line that changes three times across seven years, corroborated in part by three MAD Solutions-operated smart-link pages, with no source explaining any of the changes.
A SLASH IS NOT A LICENCE. The credit reads, verbatim, "PG Records Entertainment / MAD Solutions LLC," the joint slash-form this desk has documented elsewhere for parties who share a copyright line without either being named licensor or licensee. It does not use words like "under exclusive licence from" or "under exclusive licence to." MAD Solutions LLC's own material and trade press describe the company as a distributor and aggregator, which is why "Distribution" is the deal type filed here; that classification rests on how MAD Solutions describes its own business, not on anything the credit line itself states.
THE CREDIT IS NOT CONTINUOUS: THREE ERAS, NOT ONE. The joint credit runs from 2019 through 17 January 2024. It is then absent from every own-billed release between 21 August 2024 and 4 March 2026, a run of at least eleven own-billed releases over roughly eighteen months carrying "PG Records Entertainment Limited" or "PG Records Ent Limited" alone. It then reappears, in the identical joint form, on the two most recent own-billed releases checked, 19 June and 14 August 2026. A single before-and-after comparison would have missed the third era entirely; this record was built from every own-billed release in the lookup, not a sample from each end of the catalogue.
EARLY DUPLICATE ENTRIES REFLECT RE-DELIVERY, NOT A CLEAN TIMELINE. Several early titles exist twice under different Apple collection IDs with different credits and the same release date: "No Be Jazz" (2 April 2019) as both "MVP" alone and "PG Records Entertainment / MAD Solutions LLC"; "Addicted" (25 July 2019) as both "PG Entertainment Limited" alone and the joint MAD Solutions form; "Jennifer" (5 February 2021) and "Jennifer (Acoustic)" (30 June 2021), each as both "PG Records Entertainment" alone and the joint form; and "Scatter My Head" (3 December 2021) as both "PG Records Entertainment / ONErpm" and the joint MAD Solutions form, naming a third distributor entirely. This desk reads these duplicates the same way it has read similar duplicates on other artists' catalogues: as evidence of inconsistent aggregator-level metadata delivery, not as evidence of a precise week-by-week timeline of who represented Guchi when.
ONE RELEASE NAMES NO COMPANY AT ALL. "Blood Tonic," released 8 March 2024, carries the credit "℗ 2024 Guchi" with no label named, the only such self-credit anywhere in her own-billed catalogue. It falls five months before the PG-alone era begins and is not explained by any source located.
DEEZER'S LABEL FIELD NEVER NAMES MAD SOLUTIONS, IN ANY ERA. Every Deezer album endpoint checked across all three eras, including "Feeling Good" and "Leave Me Now" from the first joint-credit era and "Something About Your Love (Ganja)" and "Call Me" from the second, returns a label field reading "PG Records Entertainment" or "PG Records Ent Limited" alone. MAD Solutions does not appear in Deezer's structured metadata at any point checked, even on releases where Apple's own copyright line names it. This is the same divergence this desk has already documented on Phyno's catalogue: different services can carry different delivered metadata for the same product, and this record does not resolve which is more current or more accurate.
THREE DIFFERENT UPC PREFIXES APPEAR ACROSS THE TIMELINE. Deezer's UPC field reads 704260 during the December 2023-January 2024 releases checked, 766214 from August 2024 through November 2025, and 601527 on the two June-August 2026 releases. A GS1 prefix change can indicate a change of distributor pipeline, but prefixes belong to whoever registers them and can be reused or reassigned; this desk treats the pattern as corroborating, not conclusive, evidence that something changed in how these releases were delivered.
PG RECORDS ENTERTAINMENT IS A LABEL GUCHI IS SIGNED TO, NOT HER OWN COMPANY. A Nigerian Tribune interview of 27 April 2019 quotes Guchi describing herself as signed to Media Viva Productions Company (MVP), run by broadcaster Israel Edjeren, at her career's start. Multiple secondary artist biographies, none of them a primary company statement, describe her moving to PG Records Entertainment later in 2019. PG Records Entertainment's own X account lists four other artists, Modola, Coblaze, Omizzy and Sugarbana, alongside Guchi, consistent with a multi-artist label rather than a personal imprint. Nothing in this record should be read as saying Guchi owns her masters through PG Records Entertainment.
MAD SOLUTIONS' OWN SMART-LINK PAGES CONFIRM THE RELATIONSHIP ON THREE RELEASES, NOT THE WHOLE CATALOGUE. Feature.fm pages operated "on behalf of MAD Solutions" were found and read for "Relate" (2 March 2023), "Leave Me Now" (dated 16 January 2024 on the page, one day before the Apple credit date) and "All Over You / Mon Bebe" (1 June 2023), all three falling inside the first joint-credit era. This desk did not attempt to locate or rule out smart-link pages for every release in the catalogue, so their absence for any given title is not treated as evidence of anything here.
MUSICBRAINZ DOES NOT MEANINGFULLY COVER GUCHI'S OWN CATALOGUE. A releases query against her MusicBrainz artist ID returns exactly one own-billed release, with no label-info retrieved in this pass. MusicBrainz is cited here for completeness and corroborates nothing beyond confirming that one release exists.
NO PUBLISHING INFORMATION WAS ESTABLISHED. No source located names a publisher or administrator for the songwriting on any release discussed here.
PG RECORDS ENTERTAINMENT SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH THE UNRELATED LOS ANGELES LABEL OF A SIMILAR NAME. Search results for "PG Records" surface an unrelated Los Angeles imprint, PG Records (Platinum Global Records), founded 2010, with no connection to any source used in this record. Every source cited here concerns the Nigerian label whose own X account lists Guchi, Modola, Coblaze, Omizzy and Sugarbana.
NO AMOUNT, TERM OR TERRITORY EXISTS ANYWHERE IN ANY SOURCE LOCATED. "Not disclosed" is accurate; it is not a placeholder for a figure this desk failed to find.
