AFRICAN STARS DURING BET AWARDS GALA NIGHT

HOW D'BANJ SEALED KANYE WEST DEAL

Members of the Mo’hit crew Thursday in Lagos described the open contract it signed with the American super Kanye West’s record company Good News as the biggest thing to happen to the Nigeria’s entertainment industry. The contract sealed between Don Jazzy, President of Mo’hit records, D’Banj, Kanye West and management of Good records was witnessed by rap artiste Jay Z and other top rated American musicians.

Narrating the genesis of the deal, D’Banj disclosed that “After our collaborations with Snoop Doggy Dogg, we traveled to Dubai on business and that’s where we ran into Kanye. We were quite surprised when he told us he was familiar with our music and was willing to work with us.

We decided that since Snoop was only interested in collaborating with us, we should give Kanye a chance. And that’s how the whole process started”.

Now that the deal is sealed, the D’Banj continued “we will be traveling to America to begin recording of our first album and that will take us away from the country for about three months.Our going to America does not also translate to relocation, instead we would be spending some time there and the rest of the year in Nigeria”.

Don Jazzy who also spoke at the media brief held at the Koko Lounge in Yaba, Lagos allayed fears in some quarters that his record company would abandoned artistes on Mo’hits records saying, “ the contract we signed is between D’Banj and Mo’hits records and what this means is that, this is an opportunity for artistes signed our label to get world attention too.

Right now all our artistes have equal opportunity of getting on board the Mo’hit/Good records collaboration”.He also spoke about his company’s desire to sign on its first female musician pointing out that this year’s Koko Mansion will dwell on searching for Mo’hits’ first lady.

FRESH JUICE: KANYE WEST SIGNS THE KOKO MASTER

We broke the news about their would be collabo.But looks like Kanye has seen a lot more in D'banj aka the Koko Master. Arguably one of Africa's greatest acts, Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo also known as D'Banj has joined the big league in the world of music. D'Banj has signed with one of Hip Hop's best labels, Kanye West's GOOD Music which houses some of the biggest names in entertainment. D'Banj announced the good news on Twitter saying; "...7yrs later Mo' Hits signs with Good Music. Best birthday gift ever. God thank u." This is more than people expected because ever since he did the collabo with Hip Hop legend Snoop Dogg for the Mr Endowed Remix, word is another ground breaking collabo is on the books, this time with his new boss Kanye West.
Looks like the two were planning something major when Kanye tweeted D'Banj some 100 days ago.
"Yo @iamdbanj and @donjazzymohits get back to NY asap there is still work to be done"
Common, John Legend, Kid Cudi, Pusha T and Mos Def are some of the artistes in the GOOD Music stable.

D'BANJ'S AND NUDE STRIPPER............

A photo of D'banj with a nude stripper is doing rounds online. We are not sure whether the photo was photo-shopped or it's real. Meanwhile the Naija star has already began his project with Kanye West.

 
Looks like D'banj and Kanye West have started working together already, after Kanye tweeted D'banj and Don Jazzy to come for collaboration in New York. Like the boys have gotten in touch with kanye already, the picture above said it all.

ANOTHER ONE :KANYE WEST,D'BANJ COLLABO

The kokomaster aka D'banj seems to be following in the footsteps of one Aliaune Thiam, aka, Akon. You would think he would still be excited after the successful collaboration with Hip Hop legend, Snoop Dogg on the Mr Endowed Remix.
Instead, he has gone up a notch and is now said to be working on a song with hip hop's biggest ego, Kanye West. We hear the song will be out this year.
We are also informed that rap sensation Lil Wayne turned down the offer of a collaboration with D'Banj because the Koko Master could not foot the  $1 million dollars fee requested by the Young Money de facto leader before putting pen to paper. We doubt he will be mourning since Kanye can more than help his star shine brighter.
