“I am tired of being treated like a slave by people I make money for,” says rapper Ifani.

Ifani Hayimani, hit maker of ‘Shake’ slams Sony record label on twitter and even considers leaving the music industry.

Fuming and raging with anger, the rapper took his personal issues with his record company to twitter.

Sometimes when given lemons there is no need to make lemonade, in this case Ifani has thrown the sour tasting fruit back at his record label.

“ iFani @iFani_Haymani • Leavin my record label is the ONLY solution. But since they know that will make me happy, they'll fight it. | it's as if they hate my smile!

He put out his regrets of signing with Sony records, referring to them as a label that wills the power to crush down an artist.

In the moment of getting emotional, he wished he was not successful but a normal person due to the treatment he is given by Sony.

He tweeted : “When yo record label breaks your spirit! When they shut u down so many times that you lose the will to fight! I ask myself, why did I sign?

“Of coz I can't write my record label's name coz they'll do more harm to me than they already have. I wish I could give this success back!

When twitter fans poured out their sympathy out of concern from his emotional tweets, he referred to his situation as ‘worse than bad but rather plain sad’.

“ iFani @iFani_Haymani • “@AOTheRapper: @iFani_Haymani For real? Is it that bad?”

Feeling much hopeless with a broken soul he carried on crying out loud, making mention of his hopes to leave the record company as he tweeted:

“ iFani @iFani_Haymani • “All I can do ryt now is pray and hope for the best. My fingers are also crossed. I NEED to leave my record label ASAP b4 my creativity dies!”

In consolation of his problems with Sony he feels proud to have advised hip hop artist Casper Nyovest management to not consider signing with his record label.

 iFani @iFani_Haymani • “I stil think my greatest advice to Cassper's management was NOT to sign to those who signed me. Nw Cassper's blown up without them. Perfect!”
