Dbanj Gave Me ₦50,000 For A ₦1 Million Show – Rapper Ikechukwu

Veteran Nigerian rapper, Ikechukwu Onunaku, popularly known as Ikechukwu, has claimed that the founder of the now-defunct Mohits Records, D’banj used to give him ₦50,000 from shows he got booked for ₦1 million.

He said he later increased it to ₦150,000 after he confronted him.

Ikechukwu claimed that D’banj had to consult his mother before increasing the amount.

He disclosed that the co-founder’s mother influenced decisions at the record label for a long time.

He stated thus during a recent interview with Daddy Freeze, “Banga [D’banj] is going to hate this when I say this. But the truth is the truth. When we used to go for shows, they [promoters] go pay Banga money, Banga go do like say he dey do me a favour. He would give me ₦50,000 from shows I got booked for ₦1 million and above.

“He eventually increased it after we fought. He said he spoke with his mum and they increased it to ₦150,000. His mum was part of the record label spiritually. You can ask Don Jazzy [the co-founder]: For a long time, they don’t make decisions without D’banj’s mum’s approval.”

Naija News reports that Mohits disbanded in 2012, with the co-founder, Don Jazzy, who confirmed the breakup, citing differences in interests as the reason.
