D’banj just dropped a truth bomb that’s got Naija music fans buzzing.
In a raw sit-down on the MIC ON PODCAST, uploaded Saturday evening, the Kokomaster finally set the record straight on the 2012 Mo’Hits breakup.
“It was 100% Don Jazzy’s call,” he said, voice steady. “The idea to go separate ways didn’t come from me.”
No fights. No money drama. Just timing and vision.
He painted their partnership like a perfect marriage, 50/50 everything, from beats to dreams. They wanted Afrobeat to rule the world.
Then came the twist.
Don Jazzy, he revealed, walked away and handed D’banj the keys to his entire catalogue. Every track. Every master. Zero encumbrances.
“I still have like 10 unreleased songs,” D’banj smiled, sunglasses low. “He gave me 100%.”
The split hit on March 17, 2012, when Don Jazzy tweeted the end. Mavin Records was born weeks later. D’banj launched DB Records.
Fans mourned. Rumors flew, Kanye deals, borrowed cash, creative clashes. None confirmed. Until now.
D’banj says it was simple: “He wanted one path. I saw another.”
Yet the love never left.
They text. They vibe. They even shot a joint 20-year anniversary trailer. There’s an unreleased banger with 2Baba still in the vault.
“We talk a lot,” D’banj said. “If I’m celebrating 20 years, he is too.”
No beef. No regrets. Just two kings who built an empire, split the crown, and kept the respect.
This isn’t shade, it’s closure.
And in an industry quick to feud, their story feels rare. Grown. Real.
As D’banj gears up for The Entertainer D’Sequel, one thing’s clear: the Mo’Hits chapter isn’t closed.
It’s just remixed.
