“Why I chose D’Banj over Don Jazzy” – Ikechukwu

When Don Jazzy and D’Banj split earlier this year, most of their friends chose camps. The producer established Mavin Records with Wande Coal, Dr. SID, D’Prince and Tiwa Savage, while D’Banj took with him Ikechukwu, Special ED and his younger brother K-Switch. Ikechukwu, was an on and off member of the defunct MoHits crew. And a lot of people were surprised that he left with the Kokomaster. But in an exclusive interview with Encomium magazine, the rapper cleared the air on his decision. “I have heard a lot about my relationship with D’banj,” he said. “Some people call me his houseboy, bouncer, and the rest, but let me say this, I have been close to D’banj since day one. The first time I saw him was at Obi Asika’s house, when he was about signing to Storm Records…and if you’re observant, you would have discovered that we have similar features; he’s lepa just like me and we have same swagger. “So we’ve created some kind of bond right from time which I was not opportuned to share with Don Jazzy. I only find people that find me, simple! Those that I am important to are those that are important to me. “I am just chilling with D’banj and now that he’s making a stand abroad, it’s going to be stupid of me not to utilize the situation he already has. So, we are not just friends, we are also doing business.”
