Dbanj and label mate Wande Coal are
presently at loggerheads over whose
album should drop first.
According to our sources, trouble
started with the ground breaking,
commercial success that trailed
Wande’s debut album, Mushin to
Mo’Hits, released in 2009.The album
propelled the Mushin, Lagos-bred
young man from just being a backup
singer for the crew to a substantive
music star but with scant
opportunities.
The success of Wande’s debut was so
huge that D’banj’s album, The
Entertainer, which was released
months before Wande’s, reportedly
suffered a slump in sales.
But things fall apart, when the
demand for Wande at shows and
concerts dropped considerably while
his statutory proceeds from the little
that came were either withheld or
handed out to him as piecemeal. To
underscore that he was no longer the
beautiful bride, a source alleges, the
standby generator in the Maryland
house was moved to Lekki. In fact, he
did not benefit from the presidential
windfall that came the way of D’banj
and Don jazzy unlike what would have
been the case if things were right,
“the source adds.
Wande’s friend who spoke on
condition of anonymity say though he
knows he is being stifled and
deliberately denied of cash, he is not
particularly bothered because he still
gets enough to keep body and soul
together.
What they say is Wande’s major
grouse now is the seeming refusal of
his label bosses Don jazzy and Dbanj
to push any singles out or help him
work towards the release of another
album. It was further revealed that
Wande has been neglected for the
past one year or there about and that
there is no effort whatsoever to help
him release another album much less
a single.
Wande who believes competition in
the industry is getting stiffer, and he
needs to drop some singles to stay
relevant, is allege to have plan for life
after Mo Hits as he has reportedly
incorporated his own record label
