History
[edit | edit source]Spaceship Entertainment[1] was founded on 18 February 2015 by Burna Boy. In 2020, it began to operate under the name Spaceship Records. The record label was relaunched under Spaceship Collective, and currently holds the highest share in the company. Spaceship was established following Burna Boy's departure from Aristokrat Records,[2] a record label owned by Piriye Isokrari.
In 2020, Burna Boy signed LeriQ,[3] Nissi, and Telz to Spaceship. On 16 April 2020, Burna Boy unveiled the signing of Buju.[4]
