In a revelation that’s bound to shake the Afrobeats world, D’banj has dropped a bombshell: the split of the iconic Mo’Hits Records was initiated by none other than his former partner and producer, Don Jazzy. But here’s where it gets controversial—this claim directly contradicts earlier reports, leaving fans and industry insiders alike questioning what really happened behind the scenes.
During a candid conversation on the Mic On podcast hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, D’banj opened up about the dissolution of Mo’Hits, stating unequivocally that the idea to part ways came entirely from Don Jazzy. Despite the split, D’banj insists he’s at peace with the decision, even going so far as to say he wouldn’t change a thing. And this is the part most people miss—he credits Don Jazzy for gracefully handing over his entire catalogue and even sharing unreleased tracks, a move that speaks volumes about their mutual respect.
D’banj didn’t hold back in praising Don Jazzy’s professionalism, highlighting how the producer ensured a smooth transition by giving him full ownership of his work. ‘Jazzy gave me 100% of my catalogue and maybe 10 other songs I have not released,’ D’banj revealed. This gesture, he believes, was pivotal in allowing both artists to continue their individual journeys without resentment.
But here’s the kicker: D’banj admits he misses collaborating with Don Jazzy, yet he firmly believes their split was predestined. ‘If I were to go back in time, I wouldn’t have done anything differently,’ he asserted. This raises a thought-provoking question: Can partnerships truly run their course, or is there always room for reconciliation?
Reflecting on their final collaboration, D’banj shared how their global ambitions were realized with the hit ‘Oliver Twist’, the last record they released together. ‘It was a journey for me, even though he had his opinion, I knew that we needed to cement that global movement,’ he explained. But here’s where it gets even more intriguing—D’banj’s acceptance of the split as fate suggests a deeper philosophical take on success and separation in the music industry.
As fans continue to speculate about the true dynamics of their breakup, one thing is clear: the legacy of Mo’Hits lives on through the individual successes of both D’banj and Don Jazzy.
