‘I’m Still In Mo’Hits’ – Wande Coal Debunks Rumours
It’ll take more than Tweets to quench the rumours. Nevertheless, Wande Coal and his label boss Don Jazzy are hoping that their twitter statements over the supposed feud tearing their relationship apart, will set the record straight and answer lingering questions.
There have always been reports – confirmed or not – of issues within the Mo’Hits camp. Reports of misunderstanding-going-out-of-hand between D’banj and Don Jazzy, D’banj and Ikechuckwu, D’banj and Dr. SID, and now Wande Coal and Don Jazzy keep surfacing. And apart from Ikechukwu whose altercation with D’banj became public, it would seem, because the other parties have carried on with business as usual, that other allegations are either untrue, or blown out of proportion.
Bu when news broke, a few weeks ago, that Wande was unhappy and on his way out, over concerns about the future of his career, many reporters ran with the story, and social media buzzed for days non-stop. Feeling the discomfort, and eager to stop the spreading story, Don Jazzy, who runs Mo’Hits with his partner D’banj wrote on Twitter ‘I think it helps to always wish your neighbours well sha. Some people just wanna imagine the worst by force. Positive mind doesn’t kill o’…. ‘I know a lot of good things that happens in the music industry everyday to different people but I don’t see in the papers o, but they’re quick to prophesy evil on a lot of people everyday not remembering that the word of the mouth is powerful’… ‘I’m sure the next news I will be read is ‘DON BABA J SACKS DON JAZZY FROM MOHITS. FIRE ON THE MOUNATAIN RUN RUN RUN’.
And in what seemed like a reluctant comment, Wande Coal tweeted ‘I’m still in Mo’Hits and I and working on the album’.
‘The album’ – that’s what fans have been waiting for; what pundits are asking for. And the non-availability of ‘The album’ of a single new WC cut for that matter, for years, is certainly what’s either causing the Mohits feud, if there’s any; or what’s making gossips think and say WC is ‘unhappy and planning to take a walk’.
The Mohits boys have mastered a winning formular; and instead of anyone throwing in a spanner in the works, we’d think what most well-meaning people desire, is for the boys to continue the domination while the smart ones among their peers take their notebooks and take lessons- lessons from Dbanj; lessons from Don Jazzy; lessons from Mohits.
There’s one lesson those calling the shots at Mohits need to take first though: It’s about time they stop pushing the crew as ‘Dbanj and the boys’. Each Mohits act has the capacity to be as big as Dbanj, if not bigger. And the sooner they start pushing other acts as individual brands that can compete in the market space, rather than as ‘second fiddles to Dbanj’, the better for the label and their investors…
