That’s clearly the situation
between estranged Mo’Hits
bosses D’Banj and Don Jazzy as
their rock-solid business and
relationship continues to
disintegrate.
Just a week ago,the hit
producer Micheal Don Jazzy
Collins practically confirmed the
rumours about his on-going rift
with Dapo D’Banj
Oyebanjo,causing a mega media
frenzy in Nigeria and elsewhere.
Of course the whole brouhaha
spread like wildfire, and in
minutes, words like ‘Don
Jazzy’,D’Banj’, ‘Mo’Hits’, were
trending on Twitter.
The last week has however
been a very interesting period
for those who the ‘breakup’
has affected; as entertainment
journalists and tabloids offer
analysis on what might have
shattered their relationship,
some are trying to bring the
bosses back together.
Other than those who will lose
tremendously from the fall out,
we hear even the Governor of
Lagos summoned both parties in
a move to restore the
seemingly unshakable bond.
Their mentors have also
intervened, hoping they’ll see
reason and possibly resolve the
conflict. But close friends say
too much water has gone
under the bridge, and bringing
them back right now looks
more like a herculean task.
It’s more messy and dirty than
you think, one insider tells us.
They aren’t on talking terms,
it’s that serious.
I doubt they want to see eye
to eye anymore, at least for
now.
D’Banj,who was in the country
last week,left for the US on
Tuesday night.Some days
earlier,we learn that he
changed keys and locked up
the Lekki residence which was
once occupied by himself and
Don Jazzy.
The producer,who we reported
to have been staying with Dr
Sid at his 1004 residence,has
now relocated to the super
expensive NICON Estate,also in
Lekki.
We’re told he may have
coughed out nearly N30M for
the new place.
Despite all the happenings,the
Mo’Hits crew seem to be
keeping quite busy-Dr Sid(who
now seems to be Don Jazzy’s
right hand man) has professed
his alliance with the producer.
Don Jazzy is the most
important piece of
Mo’Hits,who doesn’t get the
credit he deserves,without
his creativity a lot of
things will not exist
,Sid said
via Twitter,in apparent support
for his boss.
Meanwhile,Wande Coal recently
premiered the video of one of
his singles ‘Private Trips’ which
has received positive
reviews.And,as if to confirm our
report on the new clique: the
quartet of Sid,D’Prince,Wande
Coal and Jazzy were in South
Africa penultimate weekend for
the launch of Samsung’s new
HI-Fi sound system which Don
Jazzy reportedly helped design.
D’Banj and his brother Kay
Switch were conspicuously
missing;even though our
investigations reveal that the
deal had been signed and
sealed,before the Mo’Hits
brouhaha reached its peak.
