Festus Ehimare (Emperor Geezy)

G-Worldwide Entertainment is a Lagos-based Nigerian record label founded by music executive Festus Ehimare, known as Emperor Geezy. Ehimare began promoting talent under the G-Worldwide name in 2011 before formally relaunching it as a record label in 2013, when he signed his first act, Kiss Daniel (later Kizz Daniel). Kiss Daniel’s run on the label produced several hit singles before a contract dispute in 2019 sent him to court and, eventually, to his own imprint, Flyboy I.N.C.

The label is independent and privately owned by Ehimare. Its current roster centres on Afrobeat, R&B, reggae-dancehall and soul acts including Sugarboy, Ajura and Easy Jay, alongside in-house producers Hollar and Brickz. Iceberg Slim and DJ Shabsy have also recorded under the G-Worldwide banner.

G-Worldwide remains one of the longer-running independent Lagos labels to survive a high-profile artist departure, continuing to operate and sign new talent more than a decade after its founding.
