16th April, 2012—the day Mo'Hits officially became property of Don Jazzy, lock, stock and barrel, D'banj disclosed in an exclusive interview with thenetng.com titled, 'How Don Jazzy Betrayed Me'. After months 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. You know, we were like fishes out of water, in this new system, starting all over again, like when we returned home in 2004. I got him a place in the US, set up a studio there, just so he'd be comfortable and be able to work without going to hang around the studios. 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, I wanted us to make this happen, so we can bridge that gap and create a path for Africa. But Jazzy wanted us to go back home. And I understand. He's my 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 and for both to go their separate ways.
But I never expected him to do what he did.' He said to me in July last year 'Let's scatter Mohits. He told me there are two captains – two captains cannot be in a ship. I was like 'that's not possible, this is a marriage'. He said 'then this marriage is no longer working'. I said then let's go 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.
