The statement revealed that Dabula asked to be released from his contract so that he can pursue other projects.

“This is the place where I blew up and I think now is the right time to move on and do other things with the exposure the show has given me. Generations: The Legacy has allowed me to

take my acting craft to newer and better levels and I plan to take that into future characters I will be portraying,” Dabula said.
