CONTROVERSIAL DBANJ'S EBONY INTERVIEW - MO'HITS,DON JAZZY ETAL!!!


Mo'Hits Crew:
DrSid, Wande Coal, DPrince, DBanj, DonJazzy and  K- Switch
Though, supposed D’banj’s Media/Personal Manager, said "D’banj never had any such statement with Ebony magazine during the interview he did with them. We are in touch with the editor of the magazine on these and a correctional rejoinder will be published soonest. Mohits Records is co-owned by Don Jazzy and D’banj.
Here's the full content of the supposed Interview with Ebony:
D’banj: ”Coming from Africa I’m my own manager, I have my own label called Mo’ Hits with my artistes Dr. Sid, Wande Coal, Don Jazzy, D’Prince and K-Switch. I own Mo’ Hits and we’ve won numerous awards by the grace of God’.
“Being with Kanye for the last eight months and me leading a successful label in Africa, I’ve learned a lot and I believe people will see what we’re going to do. I signed with Kanye in June and that same month I won the BET Award for Best International Act.
“My New York concert isn’t done by G.O.O.D. Music, it’s done by Live Nation, meaning I’m already a moving machine. So who’s better to introduce me to the global stage than Kanye West, a crazy genius?” he said.
“Kanye doesn’t try to change you. He has great ears and great people working with him. I learned the way people do music in America is different, number one, the budget. You don’t have to rush a song, you can take your time.
“I was glad because I have a studio in my home but I thought I was doing too much. I’ve been working with everyone else on G.O.O.D. Music too and John Legend and I worked together in London recently. It’s been great experience, I just beg people to listen with an open mind,” he averred.
“I’m bringing my culture, my music and preaching the gospel. We’ve been learning from America’s Hollywood scene and other areas in Africa because our continent is developing. We look up to the way you’ve built your industry and we try to do ours in the best way that we know. It’s so good to see that Americans appreciate my music so that’s what I’m bringing, just original Africa.”
“I had a concert in Dubai and when we pulled up to the airport’s first class lounge and a hostess ran up to me with a plaque with Kanye’s face on it, asking me to sign it. I said ‘I’m not Kanye West, I’m D’banj but Kanye West is coming.
“Then my manager spoke to Kanye, came back and told me ‘He’ll give you five minutes.’ I walked over. As an African man, I’m always prepared and I played my music ‘Stand Out,’ ‘Fall In Love’ and ‘Scapegoat’ for him on my iPod. Before we knew it, I’d almost missed my flight and he invited me to New York.”
The ball's in your court - Play it!
