The idea of going our separate ways came from Don Jazzy – D’banj

Popular singer D’banj has revisited the circumstances that led to the breakup of the iconic Mo’Hits Records, revealing that the decision to part ways came entirely from his former partner and producer, Don Jazzy.

Speaking on the latest episode of the Mic On podcast hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, D’banj said Don Jazzy was “100 per cent responsible” for the split that shocked the Nigerian music industry in 2012.

According to him, he would not have changed anything about their relationship because the move to go separate ways did not originate from him.

“If I were to go back in time, I wouldn’t have done anything differently regarding my relationship with Don Jazzy, especially when the idea to go our separate ways didn’t come from me. The idea to go our separate ways came from Don Jazzy which is why we are still cool,” D’banj said.

He also revealed that Don Jazzy handed him full ownership of his catalogue after their breakup.

“Jazzy gave me 100 per cent of my catalogue and maybe 10 other songs I have not released… It was a journey for me, even though he had his opinion, I knew that we needed to cement that global movement and I’m glad that even after, God still did it for us with ‘Oliver Twist’, which was the last record we released together,” he added.

D’banj stressed that he has no regrets about the split, saying it was destined to happen. However, he admitted that the one thing he misses is the magic of making music with Don Jazzy.

He said the separation enabled both of them to explore new paths, but their impact together, especially at Mo’Hits,is a legacy he will always cherish.
