Kanye West: The deal that destroyed Mo’Hits

After weeks of silence during which fans groped in the dark, Don Jazzy’s 106 words tweet brought a ray of light to the whole business: “Good day friends. So sorry I have been away for long as I have been going through some changes in my life.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the end of along era and the beginning of a new one, some of the rumours you have all heard recently are sad but true. The way forward now is to make sure I keep bringing you guys more of the beautiful music y’all love to dance to. And to end the old era I will be donating d proceeds of my production catalogue from day 1 till date to 5 charity organizations. Thanks, IDJA.”

Coming on the heels of D’banj’s faux pas interview with Ebony, it was a big revelation. Recently, the picture became clearer with the release of the “Oliver Twist” video. In previous videos, from “Tongolo” to “Why Me” to “Mr. Endowed” remix (featuring with Snoop Dogg) it has always been the two buddies cavorting together.

But in the new video, the first to be released under G.O.O.D. Music, Don Jazzy is missing. And guess who makes a cameo appearance: the new big boss, Kanye West, and the duo of  Pusha T and Big Sean who are also members of the G.O.O.D. Music. Don Jazzy was not  in the picture.

The Don Jazzy tweet evoked an outpour of sympathy, with a few fan dissing D’Banj. But a tweet by Obi Asika, CEO of Storm Records, harped on a cold fact: “I was extremely sad to see @donjazzy’s tweet today. I just want to salute @donjazzy @iamdbanj and the entire mo hits crew, amazing memories!”

Indeed, with the two friends gone separate ways, memories are what remain of Mo’Hits.

All efforts to reach their manager and CEO of the List Entertainment, Sunday Are were to no avail.
