I didn’t snub D’banj at Ben Bruce’s birthday – Don Jazzy

Don Jazzy has said he didn’t snub D’banj at Senator Ben Murray Bruce’s 60th birthday as speculated by many.

The thought that D’banj had been snubbed by his former partner and producer was fueled on Saturday at Ben Bruce’s birthday and book launch when Don Jazzy didn’t come on stage when he was invited by D’banj on stage.

D’banj had invited Don Jazzy to join him on the stage at the request of the celebrant who said his birthday wish was for the duo to perform together.

In a tweet, Don Jazzy said as of the time he was being invited to the stage, he had already left the event venue and that he had already announced his retirement as an artiste.

Moreover i had left the venue way before Dbanj’s performance tho.

Don Jazzy ignores D’Banj on stage

By Ayo Onikoyi

D’banj as a singer and Don Jazzy the producer used to be the perfect team as the honchos of Mo’hits Records. But like a bolt from the blue, their hitherto smooth relationship collapsed in 2012 like a pack of badly arranged cards.

Ever since, fans and colleagues in the music industry have been begging the duo to come back together and rework their magic.

However, what could have been the perfect opportunity for the two heavyweights to address the issue came to pass on Sunday, September 20,at the Eko Hotel-venue of 2face Idibia’s Fortyfied Concert.

D’banj mounted the stage to perform some of his hit songs to the delight of the audience, and halfway through, he said he was going to perform a song, ‘Feeling Good’ produced by Don Jazzy and featuring 2face that was leaked online before it could be properly released.

He beckoned on Don Jazzy to join him on stage to perform the song, but Jazzy remained glued to his seat with new Mavin signees, Reekado Banks, Korede Bello, and Dija.

Even when 2face begged the duo to produce one more hit together, Don Jazzy remained resolute. In 2face’s words, ‘Don Jazzy and D’banj, abeg make una do one more song, just one…. I take God beg una.’

D’banj instantly responded with the words, “Sure! It’s going to happen,” while Don Jazzy still remained on his seat without even a smile.

This led many of the guests in attendance to insinuate that D’banj was more eager for a come-back than Don Jazzy is.

D’Banj - I Am Now Ready For Marriage

The self-acclaimed Komomaster, Dapo Oyebanjo, popularly known as D’Banj, has expressed his readiness to walk down the aisle very soon. Few years ago, it was reported that the energetic singer would pick a lady as wife after it was earlier rumoured that his mother kicked against his purported affair with Genevieve Nnaji, a Nollywood star.

The 34-year-old music star is no doubt a hot cake to ladies, who would be glad to be D’Banj’s wife or be called ‘Mrs. D’Banj’.

At the traditional wedding ceremony of Paul Okoye of P-Square and Anita Isama, which took place in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Saturday, March 23, 2014, the ‘Eja Nla’ disclosed that he would now consider settling down just like Paul.

He made this disclosure while performing at the event. He hailed Paul for taking the bold step to marry his heartthrob, and revealed thereafter that he’s inspired by this, which has made him to start looking in that direction.

‘Paul has now become a married man, congratulations bro. You have now inspired me to think about marriage. I will marry soon,’ D’Banj said.

His colleagues, Banky W, Peter Okoye, Phyno, who were also at the event, hailed his decision to pick a woman as his wife. (0)

D"banj To Sue Dailymail For Calling Him A Womaniser

Daily mail published a report that Real Housewives star, Kenya Moore is paying Dbanj to feature in the show as her African Prince .They described him as a womaniser. Now Dbanj says he is going to sue them for defamation. Here is what he told Encomium

It is a rumour. The story has no substance. I’m even about going to sue UK daily mail for the defamation of character. I’m discussing with my legal team. They didn’t hear from me. Everything they wrote is totally
wrong. They defined Koko master wrongly. I think they wanted to talk about Kenya Moore, who was a former Miss America, but they didn’t get their facts right. Everything they wrote was false .They are going to hear from my legal team, soon.

When are you getting married?

I’m going to marry at the right time. Trust me. You guys are asking me when I’m getting married because Tuface has married. Peter (psquare) is married. Even Paul has also married. At God’s appointed time, I will marry just as my friends are now getting married.

Have you found love?

Yes, I have found love

Who is the lucky girl?
