D'Banj, Don Jazzy split

MoHits pair D'Banj and Don Jazzy are on the brink of splitting up due to creative and personal differences. A source close to both parties has revealed that the relationship between the two is now so fractured that Don Jazzy has since moved out of the mansion they once shared in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.

Don Jazzy, according to the source, has become so frustrated with D'banjs lifestyle, tantrums and unmanageable ego that he refuses to work with him. D'Banj, for his part, feels Don Jazzy is spending more time honing the careers of the Mo Hits fledglings such as D'Prince and Dr. Sid. He has also accused Don Jazzy of delaying his album release by giving excuse after excuse.

D'Banj has an album due this year, the source said. He wants Don Jazzy to spend all his time working on his own album. Can you believe that Don Jazzy spent only two days working on Wandes new singles?

The source added that Dbanj has also made several disparaging remarks about some of the MoHits crew who he calls backup singers. He has also made several less than complimentary comments about Don Jazzy who he accused of going around in pajamas and t-shirts.

Bad blood, GOOD Music

Although tensions have simmered between the once inseperable maestros for about two years, things went quickly downhill last year following the deal signed with G.O.O.D music, Kanye Wests record label. An investigation revealed that the terms of the agreement are far more in favour of the producer, Don Jazzy, a realization which has irked the artist. The source confirmed the disparity in the deals structure and revealed that DBanjs involvement is peripheral which has led to major problems between the two. The deal also involves a financial commitment of up to $3M, which MoHits has not yet fully made up.

When we all celebrated the deal last year, little did we know that it was really Don Jazzy that was being signed up, the source said. While Don Jazzy has already produced a track for G.O.O.D Music, D'Banj is just waiting around idly.

Cracks in the duos relationship became apparent last year when both of them arrived and sat separately to several awards ceremonies. In the past, the two had always shown a very unified stance in public.


D'Banj, Don Jazzy, Sunday Are and Bankuli were all unavailable for comment at press time.
