Guess who just joined D'banj's record label!

Nollywood actress and singer, Tonto Dikeh has officially joined D’banj’s DB record label. She’s actually the first female act. I know what most of you are thinking. “From where to where? How come?” That’s what’s up! God forgive your hearts! Bangalee, as D’banj is fondly called made the announcement on his instagram page this afternoon. A collabo from both of them? That’s a sure banker! We are waiting.

Warning! Like Manchester United’s chances of winning the English Premier League this season, this shouldn’t be taken serious. This brilliant photoshop features the likes of D’banj, Tiwa Savage, MI, Sarkodie, Harry Song, Mo Eazy, Ms J, Lynxxx. Kudos to the brain behind it. He goes by the name @howfarna_guy on twitter. The icing on the cake are the comments. They are fictitious too.

D'banj Vs Don Jazzy

D'BANJ TO SET UP RECORD LABEL

Self-styled entertainer and Nigerian music star, D'banj is still stepping up his game. During an interview in Ghana, the Ogun-state indigene disclosed his intentions of setting up his own record label.

The 32 year-old seasoned artiste who has for a while now remained unreachable in Nigeria didn't give lengthy details about the upcoming label.

"My new record label is being structured. What I have right now and I can tell you is that my new record label has worldwide distribution with Universal Music Group". he revealed.

The energetic performer& co-founder of the defunct Mo'hits label whose Oliver Twist song was ranked 8th on UK's music chart would rather see his label as a movement, he also made known of his plans of bringing Def Jam Universal Music Group to Africa.

"For me it's not about the record label, it's about the success story of the whole movement. It is about bringing the structure that has made music what music is in global world and bringing it to Africa" he added.

The big question is will D'banj's leverage and growing influence home&abroad make this label or rather movement a formidable force?
Is this going to be another if not a much more bigger Mo'hits? Would he feel Don Jazzy's impact (interms of those killer beats) or will he definitely find a better replacement?
Time will surely find its voice.

Can imagine D'banj's (anonymous) label members performing in the same concert/event with Don Jazzy's Mavin label crew on stage……LEBETE!!!
