D’banj, Don Jazzy Saga: Wande Coal Withdraws Tweet? Damn!

In 2009, when Wande Coal stormed the scene as the newest addition to the Mo’hit’s family, everyone saw the bond between him and the Koko master D’banj grow dramatically. It was therefore understandable when during the uproar that followed the split of Don Jazzy and D’Banj, Wande Coal had kept mute.

He was silent everywhere; both on his twitter and facebook pages. Until lately, when reports filter that the ten ten crooner had allegedly dropped tweets on social networking site twitter in reaction to a new development on the Mo’Hits trouble only to withdraw the said tweet less than twenty four hours later.

According to the gist, Wande had allegedly reacted to a story blowing in the rumour mills that D’banj allegedly asked Don Jazzy in a leaked email to return the Bently he (D’banj) reportedly bought for Don Jazzy.

Wande was alleged to have tweeted “saying that he bought a car for Don Jazzy is wrong and untrue. Come onnnnnn. Well I don’t think he said that sha till I see a video of this”

As you read this, the said tweet is not on Wande’s timeline on twitter yet those who swear they saw it are sticking to their story.

Wande Coal has however made no comments to claim or deny this tweet and with the silence has come rather ridiculous guesses that probably hackers had been at work again.

This latest development comes as insiders say another label like Mo’Hits may re-emerge should Don Jazzy manage to rebuild a new music empire that would bare his name and seal alone.

As for the alleged tweet, what do you think is the mystery here? Did the tweet disappear after second thoughts from Wande Coal or is this a tweet that never existed? Share your thoughts.

Mo’Hits Records The Titanic Finally Sinks: D’banj, Don Jazzy, Wande Coal Trade Words

Don-Jazzy to D’banj: “You must pay all Mo’hits debts”,  D’banj’s response, “Will you return the Bentley I bought for you?” , Wande Coal reacts: “saying that he bought a car for donjazzy is wrong and untrue. come onnnnnn. well i dont think he said it sha until i see a video of it’…‘God please don’t let the success you have given me get to my head to the extent that I will forget my humble beginnings”     

 It appears there is more to the incredible break-up issue between D’banj and Don-Jazzy of the Mo’hits records, as the pair which parted ways some weeks ago, are now at loggerheads over the ownership of Mo’Hits records.  The two rivals, D’banj and Don Jazzy who were formerly best pals are no longer on speaking terms, neither do they see eye to eye, as a matter of fact, they  now communicate via email only when necessary.  

Details of the breakup which borders around the ownership claim of Mo’hits records, has been unveiled in  a confidential email corrsepondence between the former collaborators, obtained by E-Punch. According to source,  Don Jazzy is claiming that D’banj should own up and pay all the debts of Mo’hits records since he is publicly declaring that he owns 100% of the songs under Mo’hits imprint.

Mo’hits records which comprises all D’banj’s albums (No Long Thing, Rundown Funk U Up and The Entertainer), Wande Coal’s Mushin to Mo’Hits and The Mo’Hits Crew All Stars’ album, Curriculum Vitaeamong others is on the verge of collapse as the two rivals, Don-Jazzy and D’banj alledgely trade words over its ownership.  So far, the Mo’Hits crew has been divided, as the two main figures in the crew split ways with their different disciples, that is, D’banj’s younger brother, K-Switch, leaves with D’banj while Wande Coal, Dr Sid and D’Prince choose to take sides with Don Jazzy.

D’banj must pay all the debts of Mo’Hits – Don Jazzy

In regards to D’banj’s claim for 100 percent ownership of all songs recorded under the Mo’Hits label, Don-Jazzy declared in an email on March 17th “…Note that Mo’Hits Records only owns 60 per cent of the songs and 40 per cent belongs to the individual artiste. So, 40 per cent of the songs is not mine to give…the catalogue I am releasing to D’banj only consists of songs already released in album exempting new singles and unreleased materials…So, songs like Wande Coal’s Go Low and Been Long You Saw Meare not part of the catalogue he is receiving…It is important to note that any unreleased songs done by any artiste (including D’banj and K-Switch) must not be released and is not part of the catalogue I am giving away.”

Also, “With these few points, I do hope that you all realise that I have been generous enough to facilitate the End of the “D’banj & Don Jazzy” era as a team. After this new deal has been signed and sealed, I do NOT look forward to seeing an email whatsoever or hearing from the DKM (D’banj, K-Switch, Mo’Hits) crew…again.”

Will you return the Bentley I bought for you? – D’banj

D’banj on responding to the email, stated that, ““What do you mean by any bills or loans would be cleared by Mr. D’banj? That will never happen because when I ran the company, I ran it perfectly and well. So, if I give him my shares he is left with 100 per cent liability.. My catalogue is everything that has been done with the Mo’Hits system and under the normal agreement we have, that means everything I have recorded or that has been recorded whether new or old, or even classic, whether beat with concept or even idea without beats, anything we did as a team and sponsored by me throughout, then, it is mine. Including K-switch clause and all mine and even Wande’s singles and all till the date of signing even today…In case he (Don Jazzy) forgot, this is the arrangement! 50/50—–song writer/ production, which means for a song X for artiste Y, 75 per cent as per production is fully owned by Mo’Hits and writing is shared 25/25 with the individual artiste co- writing. So, that’s the deal! So him (sic) saying 40 per cent is not his to give away is more like 75per me and 25per each artiste.”

Continuing, D’banj said, “And now, (I) wanna clear the air on this Samsung deal! I would expect by now that you understand that me keeping quiet is being GENEROUS because this is a deal structured under Mo’Hits Records, (and it is) the first deal and income you would ever bring into the company in  eight years. We shared the first 150k (One hundred and fifty thousand dollars) the right way, 1/3 down and that was cool. But after you collected another 130k and did not say anything (that) is and could be described as theft! I only refused to contact them (Samsung) directly because of your reputation. But please don’t call me a fool and let’s know who is generous…Please, please, will he (Don Jazzy) return the Bentley because I bought it for him and it was N5.2m more than mine?… So, let’s get the facts straight, I AM BEING MORE THAN GENEROUS.”

Wande Coal’s reaction to the issue

Meanwhile, more reactions to the leaked e-mail correspondence between the warring partners has not stopped pouring in and this time Wande Coal, the star singer discovered and raised by the duo has shared his thoughts on the issue via his Twitter account.

‘As much as I would like to be quiet on this issue. seeing peoples responses to this so called leaked emails i can’t take it any longer…Saying that he bought a car for Don Jazzy is wrong and untrue. come onnnnnn. well i dont think he said it sha until i see a video of it’…‘God please don’t let the success you have given me get to my head to the extent that I will forget my humble beginnings’, he tweeted.

To wrap it all up, he pledged his alliance to Don Jazzy. ‘@Donjazzy baba I hail you dieeeeee. will be back from dubai tomorrow’.

Don Jazzy And D'banj At It Again, Over Mo'Hits Empire ... Damn!

If you think the war within the recently defunct Mo’Hits camp  is over, well think again as things just got messier.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve reported about the bad blood between former label bosses Dapo ‘D’banj’ Oyebanjo and ‘Michael ‘Don Jazzy’ Collins.
The former kicked the producer out of their Lekki mansion, both acts don’t see eye to eye and even all attempts by their parents, close friends, business associates including the Governor of Lagos state to get the once unbreakable duo back together  proved abortive.
Now that the label is at the brink of total demolition, both parties are fighting tooth and nail to scrape what’s left of the once thriving empire.

This is all revealed in a recent confidential E-mail correspondence between Don Jazzy and D’banj (published on punchng.com) where both parties go back and forth on E-mails arguing about who earns the rights and highest shares in the Mo’Hits catalogue.
In the private emails believed to have been leaked by one of the camps, D’banj points out Don Jazzy is yet to produce the second part payment from the recentSamsung deal supposedly worth about N44m. And to add salt to the injury, the entertainer has asked Don Jazzy to return the Bentley automobile which he ‘bought for him’ (Don Jazzy).
D’banj clearly points out that he is being ‘more than generous’ with the way he has handled things in the past; when Don Jazzy argues that his younger brother D’Prince doesn’t owe anything to the label because he was never officially signed on, D’banj says it doesn’t matter because he bought the lad an ‘N11m naira car (LR3/Range) without releasing any album ‘just to boost the image which worked’.
‘This is getting more and more dirty by the day. It’s so unfortunate’, a Mo’hits friend told us this morning. No word yet from either party but we’re working the lines to get reactions.
Read the FULL E-mail correspondence below
DON JAZZY E-MAIL TO D’BANJ
That Mo’Hits Records does not already own 100 per cent of the songs. Note that Mo’Hits Records only owns 60 per cent of the songs and 40 per cent belongs to the individual artiste.
So, 40 per cent of the songs is not mine to give. That me (I am) giving him (D’banj) my share of the catalogue does not and will never include him having the right to stop them (the artistes)  from performing the songs or give him the right to claim any monies for live performances of these songs. And any loans or debt owed by Mo’Hits records as at today will be cleared by Mr D’banj as I am clearly not aware of any.
So, songs like Wande Coal’s Go Low and Been Long You Saw Me are not part of this catalogue he is receiving. Also, an artiste like D’Prince, not only has he not released any album, he has not signed any contract whatsoever with Mo’Hits Records.
That he has no right to claim any monies for deals that have been brokered already as at today with the catalogues or stop their usage. It is important to note that any unreleased songs done by any artiste (including D’banj and K-Switch) MUST NOT be released and is not part of the catalogue I am giving away.
With these few points, I do hope that you all realise that I have been generous enough to facilitate the End of the “D’banj & Don Jazzy” era as a team.
After this new deal has been signed and sealed, I do NOT look forward to seeing an email whatsoever or hearing from the DKM (D’banj, K-Switch, Mo’Hits) crew, and all is well again.
D’BANJ’S REPLY TO DON JAZZY
