Finally, D’banj speaks to NET: “I never expected Don Jazzy to do what he did”

16 th April, 2012—the day Mo’Hits officially became property ofDon Jazzy, lock, stock and barrel, D’banj disclosed in an exclusive interview with thenetng.comtitled,‘How Don Jazzy Betrayed Me’. Aftermonths of speculation, rumour and one massive e-mail leak, D’Banj has finally come out to tell his own side of the story, blaming the rift on their growing success. Don Jazzy was no longer comfortable. Youknow, we were like fishes out ofwater, in this new system, starting all over again, like when we returned home in 2004. I got him a place in the US, set upa studio there, just so he’d be comfortable and be able to work without going to hang around thestudios. In one year Jazzy did not make a song.I said, maybe you want to go back to Lagos, you’ll get inspiration there?’ I was all about the work, Iwanted us to make this happen, so we can bridge that gap and create apath for Africa. But Jazzy wanted us to go back home. And Iunderstand. He’smy friend, my brother’. The article says that Wande Coal and Dr Sid have disowned the Koko Master, and he also seems to feel betrayed by Don Jazzy, saying that it was his idea to split Mo’Hits up andfor both to go theirseparate ways. But I never expectedhim to do what he did.’ He said to me in Julylast year ‘Let’s scatter Mohits. He told me there are two captains – two captains cannot bein a ship. I was like‘that’s not possible, this is a marriage’. He said ‘then thismarriage is no longer working’. I said then let’sgo for counseling; I asked, so what happens to our children?’ So the Mo’Hits empire is officially in Don Jazzy’s hands and D’Banj seems to have moved on to greener pastures in the US and UK. We can’t wait to hear what the other half says.
