DB Records owner and pop artiste D’Banj is desperately trying to
reconcile with his former Mo’ Hits partner Don Jazzy. In a bid to get
his former maverick producer back, D’Banj asked Kanye West to talk to
Don Jazzy. A few months ago the rap superstar called Don Jazzy to try
and get the two Mo’ Hits owners to forget the past and work again. Our
source who is close to both D’Banj and Don Jazzy confirms this to be
true and says that D’Banj’s attempts to get Don Jazzy back has been
going on for a sometime.
Our news story also coincides with the Kanye West, Don Jazzy and
D’Banj story in today’s edition of City People. According to the
magazine, “Kanye West, believed to be at the center of the controversy
that led to their fight is making efforts to reconcile them…Kanye West
was not aware of the fight between D’Banj and Don Jazzy until 3 months
ago and has been trying to get them together.”
The City People story goes on to say that “while he was in the studio
with D’Banj some weeks back working on the remix of “Scapegoat” he
brought the topic up again and asked D’banj why Don Jazzy was not in the
US with him working on the song.” D’Banj was said to have told him that
they are still friends but work on different platforms now. Kanye was
said not to be happy about the fact that his name was in the internet as
one of the reasons the duo fell apart. He insists they get back
together if he has to keep working with D’banj. He prompted D’Banj to
once again try and make up with Don Jazzy.
“Recently D’Banj invited Kanye West to come to Nigeria for the video
shoot of “Scape Goat” remix he did with Kanye. Kanye accepted but gave a
strict condition that he will come only after he must have reconciled
with Don Jazzy who must also be in the video.”
According to the City People story, after several attempts by D’Banj,
Don Jazzy agreed to appear in the video on a condition that he gets
paid for his appearance.
