I am huge fan of yours. In short, without you I wouldn't have known anything about african music. Yes, I was estranged from the motherland. But you found a way to bring me back home. Now you are about to die, I wonder if writing this letter will be worth it. I'm going to miss hearing Wande Coal sing " MOHITS! We dey stay on top eh". I feel sad because he sang a lie. Disagreeing is a virtue, parting ways is a very common escape. So I want to address Dbanj and Don Jazzy. Mind you, whatever I tell you might be subjective. But I am a fan, a die hard fan. Call me crazy, but I know all the songs on the label. I can hit Wande Coal's high notes. I can run around the house screaming "I'm Dbanj". I can imitate Dr Sid's azonto perfectly. I can ask a stranger "Who am I ?" and I can open my ears as big as that of Kayswitch just to listen to my friend's agony. Now it's all gone. I have gone back to listening to country music.
Dear D'banj. I salute. Yes I am a kokolette but I don't want the koko. Yes, I am sitting down right now but I am not on a long thing. Now that you are signed to G.O.O.D music, will you still be singing (or entertaining us rather) in yoruba ? Will you still wear you shades ? Oh my God ! Dbanj ? Mister Capella ?! You hardly wear your shades anymore ! I know your name is Daniel Dapo Oyebanjo, but changing your last name to Banjo and further releasing a statement to tell the world your twitter account was hacked, I don't understand. If your account was hacked, why didn't the hacker just twitpic your koko ? At least that would have been less drama. Wande Coal is a living witness to that ( I know and believe that naked man, wasn't my dearly beloved Wande). Sing ,you cannot sing. Rap, you cannot rap.Yet I love you genuinely (no groupie kind of love) because you can entertain africans. I don't know you personally, I have not seen you before. But I can say you have changed. I want D'banj back. I know Kanye West is your big daddy, but come back to your sense. Or at least, your old image. You can conquer the world like Julius Ceasar and still be true to your image. Veni, Vidi, Vici, my brother.
Don Jazzy...Don Baba J, I don't have much to tell you. People say you are just a producer, that's not true. In my eyes and to my ears, you are the mastermind behind every song produced within the circle of Mohits. Even when your artists don't make sense, qua lyrics, the song is still a hit. Whether you are a wizard or not, tuale baba. Let me say 84,1 ´% of mohits' fans are supporting you in this battle. Is it even a battle ? I like the fact that you are humble. I noticed that even when the news of you and Dbanj, you still shared links for us to watch the Oliver Twist video. Mind you, whatever happened to the winners of the enigma competition ? Did D'banj tell them to return the money they won ? I joke. The winners were promised a feature on the official video for Oliver Twist. I all saw was Kanye West and some other artists I never seen before in my entire life. It's not my fault, I love country music.
I don't know what happened between both of you. And frankly speaking, I don't care about what happened. All i'm saying is that if you are going to split, please split in dignity. There is no doubt that Africa's most successful label has crossed the finish line of downfall. I am in pain. This is no wash. I am in pain. What happened to Africa's strongest duo ? Many people said Mohits won't last, african music will not make sense. You are giving them a reason to laugh at us. Both of you are on a long thing.
My best regards, or Shalengale Makussi ( or whatever it is D'banj was saying in "Pop champagne")
