Golden Boy Entertainment

Lagos label owned by Patrick Anyaene (King Patrick), best known for signing and later disputing rights to artist Peruzzi.

Based in
Lagos, Nigeria
Founder
Patrick Anyaene (known publicly as King Patrick)

Golden Boy Entertainment is a Lagos record label owned by Patrick Anyaene, publicly known as King Patrick. No CAC registration for the label has been independently confirmed. The label signed and developed the artist Peruzzi, first on a salaried basis from 2016 and then under a formal three-year contract from 2017.

The company is privately owned by Anyaene; no other shareholder or investor is named in any source found by this desk. Golden Boy Entertainment is best documented through its dispute with Davido Music Worldwide: Peruzzi’s 2017/18 move to DMW became a public and later legal disagreement over royalties and songwriting credit, covered by Guardian Nigeria, ToOXclusive and Pulse Nigeria. No artist beyond Peruzzi is named in sourcing found for the label.

No official website or verified social account for the label has been confirmed; press coverage credits images to the personal handle @KingPatrickGB, but no source states this is an official label channel rather than Anyaene’s personal account.
