The ongoing war
between two of the strongest voices in MO-HITS records, D Banj and Don Jazzy
seems to be endless even from our latest discovery. There is no gain reminding
our darling readers of how the news spread like wild fire especially when the
hit producer Michael Enebeli a.k.a Don Jazzy practically confirmed the rumours
about his on-going rift with Dapo D’Banj Oyebanjo on the popular social
networking site, twitter. The past weeks have however been a very interesting
period for some of their rivals in the industry as their ‘breakup’ will mean
the end of D’banj/Don Jazzy domineering era
while others who share a close relationship with the two are trying everything
possible to bring the bosses back together without any head way. Another
development that further proved that the conflict between Don Jazzy and D’Banj
is like a war without end is the intervention of the Governor of Lagos State ,
Babatunde Raji Fashola who we learnt summoned both parties in a move to restore
the seemingly unshakable bond. Insiders revealed that none of the two men
honoured the Governors appointment. The petroleum minister in the federal
capital territory, Abuja, Mrs. Dieziani Madueke who we learnt is like their
godmother, according to an impeccable source, also intervened, hoping they’ll
see reason and possibly resolve the conflict. But close friends say too much
water has gone under the bridge, and bringing them back right now looks more
like a herculean task. It’s more messy and dirty than you think, one insider
tells us. They aren’t on talking terms, it’s that serious. I doubt they want to
see eye to eye anymore, at least for now. Another source also revealed that D’Banj,
who was in the country last week, left for the US few days ago and the reason
was to avoid any possible means of settling them. The producer, who was
reported to have been staying with Dr. Sid at his 1004 residence when D’Banj
suddenly locked him out of the house they both used to stay, has now relocated
to a super expensive Duplex in NICON Estate, also in Lekki.
We’re told he may
have coughed out nearly N30M for the new place.
Despite all the
happenings, the Mo’Hits crew seems to be keeping quite a busy schedule-Dr. Sid (who
now seems to be Don Jazzy’s right hand man) has professed his alliance with the
producer. Don Jazzy is the most important piece of Mo’Hits who doesn’t get
the credit he deserves, without his creativity a lot of things will not exist,
Sid said via Twitter, in an apparent support for his boss.
Meanwhile, Wande Coal
recently premiered the video of one of his singles ‘Private Trips’ which has
received positive reviews. And as if to confirm our report on the new clique:
the quartet of Dr. Sid, D’Prince, Wande
Coal and Jazzy were in South Africa penultimate weekend for the launching of
Samsung’s new HI-Fi sound system which Don Jazzy reportedly helped design. D’Banj
and his brother Kay Switch were conspicuously missing even though our
investigations revealed that the deal had been signed and sealed before the
Mo’Hits brouhaha reached its peak.
Mohits Break-Up Latest
Don Jazzy`s Dad Flies In From
Dublin
The recent break-up of the
nation`s biggest musical group, Mohits All Stars is sure a set back and has
sent a bad signals to the development of the entertainment industry in Nigeria.
This is so because, at a time when the country is meant to be basking on the
euphoria of its artistes` unprecedented records and heroic achievements in the
music industry was when one of its prides-a strong entertainment empire which
is living it up amongst world`s showbiz business got broken up.
There`s no gain saying the
fact that, the sudden fall in the Mohits All Stars empire lives more to be
desire as industry watchers are still amazed at what can possibly set spanner
at works to the extent that, none of them deemed it fit to sheath the swords until
it got out of hands.
But in what looks like a
beacon of hope, the man who`s like a back-up, somebody who has been the engine
room of the Mohits boys, in person of Don Jazzy`s talented father, Chief
Ifeanyin Collins Onwuneme Enebeli a.k.a Grand Pa who lives in Dublin, Republic
of Ireland is in town.
The fine man of style who`s
ageing gracefully breezes into town last week and from what we hear, his swift
reaction to fly in might be unconnected to the sad story of the Mohits break
up. Sources confided in us that, Grand Pa as the entertainment guru himself is
fondly addressed plans everything for the Mohits group and there`s hardly
anything they do behind him.
Severally, the Mohits
entourage has had cause to break their journey on their way out of Nigeria to
storm Dublin, just to see Grand Pa and get his blessings and advice for
anything they want to do, so when the rumour of the hullabaloo that eventually
degenerated to their separation was whispered to Grand Pa, he was said to have
called all of them to order but when it looks like things are getting out of
control, the old man had rushed to town out of his wisdom to pour oil troubled
water.
As at press time, Grand Pa is
said to have berthed at Don Jazzy`s new multi million naira abode at Nicon
Estate, VGC, Lekki, Lagos but D`Banj we gathered is out of reach for now, he`s
in far away America otherwise he would have honoured the man who he has a lot
of respect for and has taken them like his biological children.
We gathered further that, the
ball is not in Don Jazzy`s court as the gangling music producer is humble to a
fault and will not want an empire which he has laboured to build crumble but
any which way, he`s a Don just like his name, he calls the shot any day and
remains master of the game as a thoroughbred entertainer.
