Dbanj is currently trending on X (former Twitter) and you might be surprised to know the reason. After the dust is gradually settling regarding Eedris's case, Dbanj is trending because is being dragged.
Veteran Nigerian rapper Ikechukwu Onunaku, popularly known as Ikechukwu is one doing the dragging. Ikechukwu revealed in a recent chat with Daddy Freeze that during his time at Mohits Records, D’banj, the co-founder used to give him N50,000 from shows he got booked for N1 million.
He mentioned that he confronted D'banj about this and the amount was later increased to N150,000.
According to Ikechukwu, D'banj consulted his mother before agreeing to the increase, highlighting the influence she had over decisions at the record label for an extended period.
Ikechuchw said: “Banga [D’banj] is going to hate this when I say this. But the truth is the truth. When we used to go for shows, they [promoters] go pay Banga money, Banga go do like say he dey do me a favour. He would give me N50,000 from shows I got booked for N1 million and above.
“He eventually increased it after we fought. He said he spoke with his mum and they increased it to N150,000. His mum was part of the record label spiritually. You can ask Don Jazzy [the co-founder]: For a long time, they don’t make decisions without D’banj’s mum’s approval.”
It's noteworthy that Mohits disbanded in 2012, with co-founder Don Jazzy confirming the breakup. He cited differences in interests as the reason for the split, marking the end of an era for one of Nigeria's most iconic music groups.
