The news came as a bit of a shock last week when Urban Boys announced they had parted ways with their longtime manager. 

However, the group insists that the split was amicable and the R&B trio wished Alex Muyoboke the best in his future endeavors. 

Frontman Humble Jizzo, in an interview with The New Times yesterday, dismissed the claims saying Muyoboke’s contract had ended.

"We had a one year contract with Muyoboke and of course, a contract can either be renewed or not based on various issues. But that does not necessarily mean that the parties have differences,” explained Jizzo.

Jizzo revealed that for now the group will operate without a manager until they finish settling their internal matters.

Urban Boys is among 11 local musicians competing to win Rwf24 million, at this year’s Primus Guma Guma SuperStar season three grand prize.
