First, Let me start by saying, I at this point have no conclusions based on the information released so far. I think one of the involved parties needs to come out and say, "Hey, this is what happened and this is the point we are at now"; till then, I don't completely believe anything. That being said, this article will be based on the publicly accepted/inferred version of the situation, please do NOT get it mixed up.
Let's get some things straight here, D'banj and Don Jazzy were MoHits. No one was visibly higher or more authoritative than the other, in fact, the only distinctions between them were that: Don Jazzy was CEO of MoHits Records and D'banj was Vice CEO (which I would infer was because he had less physical work to do and significantly more time to handle business matters as D'banj was the performer and the face of the MoHits franchise). Also, D'banj was the artiste and spokesperson for Mohits and Don Jazzy was the producer and the man behind the scenes putting in work. Those alone cannot tell us who had more power or who made who. I would infer that they were equally important to each other and equally vital to one another's individual successes and the collective success of MoHits as a whole.
Also, assuming D'banj and Don Jazzy actually split; who knows what happened? Who knows why they split? Who knows who initiated the split? My answer will be NO ONE except D'Banj and Don Jazzy themselves. With that in mind, we cannot judge the situation, side anyone or make it about tribe (this is the most bitter part of the whole situation, we're all Nigerians for God's sake, and this has no link to their respective tribes). Based on that, we must wait for more clear cut information to be given by the involved parties before we can conclude, summarize and pick what side we support.
Similarly, why bash D'banj for claiming to own MoHits or be the founder? Again, we do NOT know the full story (D'banj has publicly admitted that Don Jazzy was MoHit's CEO at some other interviews and that goes against that statement to some extent). I can understand the air of disloyalty that swirls around D'banj because of that statement in the interview. However, we gotta understand that the man is human. If the situation is as we think it is, then he and Don Jazzy are not the best of friends at this point; its very natural to feel like you did all the work, or the one that did the most influential things in these kind of situations, it happens to ALL OF US, so don't go judging D'banj, he's only human.
NOTE: I however give Don Jazzy a lot of credit for being silent and general about the situation and not causing any controversy, that is a very mature act.
Finally, let us leave D'banj and Don Jazzy alone at this time (not literally but give them some breathing space as this is a tough situation to be in). There's nothing unusual about the way they're handling things, I don't understand why people feel so strongly about the issue like one of them killed your family member or something; and making this a tribal issue? That's just the WORST.
NOTE: It might seem to some people that I supported D'banj in the article above. However, I tried to be as neutral as possible, if I was to be bias at all, I would support Don Jazzy. The only reason I've defended D'banj is because a lot of people are against him, also because he's been a little controversial in his handling of the situation while Don Jazzy has been a little more mature and chilled about it.
Also, I expect some people that feel strongly about the situation to post some harsh comments, knock yourselves out people, we do NOT know each other and if we do, oh well you'll be alright :D!
it's quite neutral.
