The Koko Master D’banj, was featured on the cover of Thisday Style
Magazine last Sunday. In his interview with the weekend journal, D’banj
opened up about his split from Mo’hits and how leaving Don Jazzy has
affected his music career.
Read interview excerpts…
You parted ways with your partner and long time friend Don Jazzy,
which wasn’t pleasant news for many of your fans in Nigeria and around
the world; can you tell us why you took such a decision?
Any split or break up will affect anyone because you are used to a
way of working and for me, it did. But I always look at the light at the
end of the tunnel. It was after the split that I had my first global
hit ‘Oliver Twist’. It hit the top ten in the United Kingdom and also it
was when other endorsements came through, such as the theme song for
Africa Cup of Nation ‘Top of the world’. I got to perform it in front of
92,000 people. Also I was made a GLO Ambassador and also an ambassador
the Bank for Industry. But Don jazzy is one of Nigeria’s most amazing
producers and will continue to be so, I respect his work tremendously.
He is also a long time friend and brother.
Has the split in any way affected your musical career or has it had a
positive impact on the musician you are today? I don’t believe it has
affected my career in anyway. As you can see, D’banj is getting involved
in many things such as the ONE Campaign by Bono; an ambassador for
agriculture in Nigeria, my music is doing great too with my recent new
video for one of the soundtracks for ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’. My career
going great as expected. This year we celebrate 10 years of D’banj in
the entertainment industry. I’m thankful to God. What’s the biggest
lesson you have learned through it all? I have learned one simple
lesson, ‘Without God we are nothing’.

Soundcity Vj Moët Abebe Rocks Orange Jumpsuit & Mocks First Lady
The viral video of the First Lady crying over the issue of the Chibok schoolgirls is a major issue everywhere. Despite the fact that over 200 school girls are missing, Nigerians still find so much fun in mocking the First Lady by creating Shirts with caption “Na only you waka come” and “There is God o”.
I’m not justifying the First Lady, but we have to realize that this is a national issue and majority of the people laughing about this matter are doing so because their families or friends are not directly involved. I really wonder if any of the affected parents can find anything funny…
