Nigerian record producer, Michael Collins Ajereh known professionally as Don Jazzy and renowned veteran singer, Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, better known by his stage name D’banj have reunited again.
The reunion of the former business partners and founders of the
then Mo’ Hits Records comes after 12 years of separation following their
controversial split.
In a now-viral video posted on Friday by D’banj in
collaboration with DonJazzy on Instagram, the duo (Don Jazzy and D’Banj) were
seen hugging each other and sharing pleasantries.
The video was a promotional video for the release of Dbanj’s
new single, ‘Since 04,’ whose lyrics suggest him paying tribute to the now
defunct Mo Hit Records, to which he belonged and was a major stakeholder
alongside Don Jazzy.
The video was also a post to celebrate comedian and social
media influencer, Debo Adebayo, known as Mr Macaroni, who celebrated his
birthday on Friday.
Writing the caption for the video post, D’Banj said, “It’s
an Extra Special day because it’s not just since 04’s release, it’s also my
brother’s birthday, Mr Macaroni. I must greet you speciaLEE on this day and
wish you all the best and so much more as you age with grace. Oh boy @donjazzy
big stepper, na you get this dance step oh, oosheeee. @mrmacaroni and
@misstechy thanks for making this happen I enjoyed myself.”
Earlier on Thursday, D’Banj, posting pictures with Don Jazzy
on Instagram wrote, “Brothers for life, It’s @donjazzy again. Bad boys Since
04. I must greet @mavingrandpa specially! Thanks for all the prayers and
support since ‘04! Since ‘04 drops tomorrow, Ooossshhee.”
Mo Hit Records, founded in 2004 and co-owned by Don Jazzy
and D’Banj, dominated the Nigerian music scene from 2004 on. However, after a
rift in 2012, the duo went their separate ways.
The group then consisted of artists such as Don Jazzy,
D’Banj, Dr. Sid, Wande Coal, among others.
After the breakup, Don Jazzy went on to establish another
record label known as Mavin Records and took along with him, D’ Prince, Dr. Sid
and Wande Coal. Subsequently, the renowned producer and MR’s CEO signed artists
such Korede Bello, Di’Ja, Reekado Banks, Johnny Drille, Poe, and the DNA Twins.
On the flip side, D’Banj inked a record contract with
American Kanye West’s “Good Music.”
He started DB Records and signed two producers, Jaysleek and
Deevee, as well as his younger brother, K-Switch. Dbanj later signed Nollywood
actress, Tonto Dikeh, to the label.
The reunion of D'banj and Don Jazzy has elicited an array of
heartwarming reactions from fans, many of whom expressed hopes for new music
collaborations between the two music moguls.
