Outcome Of Mohits Records Press Conference At Koko Lounge by rockers: 6:17pm On Jun 16, 2011
press release


Synonymous with the African time syndrome the press conference which was organized by veteran reporter Mr. Ogbonna Amadi of Vanguard Newspapers andMr Sunday Areh C.E.O of List Entertainment (the management outfit handling the affairs of Mo Hits Records) which was meant to start by 11:00am started an hour late but all present waited as it has never been in the habit of the label to keep its numerous lovers waiting.


First to emerge were Black Diamond of Mo Hits Wande Coal and Lady's manD’Prince (Omoba) followed by Dr SID and then when his presence was felt it was awesome. Thus entered Nigeria’s finest and number one artiste Mr. Endowed Koko Master D’Banj looking all fresh and smooth in his traditional humble and jovial self. He went round and shook the hands of all present and personally apologizing for keeping them waiting. Taking his sit among his colleagues in the label he still greeted them and one would wonder at such meekness….”ehennnn”. He still apologized once again for being late. Then enters the Africa’s best producer Don Jazzy in his casual and often shy demeanor followed by other members of the Mohitian clan viz : Jay Mohits, Sesan (Mohits official video director), Mr. Bizzle Osukoya, Mr. Sunny Areh, Mr. Abbey Nana, Mr. Wale,Spice etc.
The conference went into full swing. Here are some salient highlights of the press conference.

G.O.O.D Music / Mo Hits Records

* D’Banj and Don Jazzy are not relocating to United States of America rather they would be shuttling between Nigeria and U.S.A but more of U.S working on his forthcoming album which would feature G.O.O.D Music artiste Kid Cudi, 2face Idibia, Wande Coal etc
* Like the saying that you cannot relocate the captain of a ship and abandon his crew, the contract is between the two labels MoHits and G.O.O.D Music.
* The negotiations for the deal started since November 2010 and was concluded on 8th June 2011 (Kanye West birthday)
* MoHits part of the deal is up to the sum of $3, 000, 000 (three million dollars) which they have provided

While fielding questions from all present, Mr Endowed D’Banj pledged not to relent in his support of the fight against piracy but went on to reiterate that he does not believe there is piracy as in his words “In Nigeria there is no piracy cos it’s the availability of the original that makes piracy thrive so without the original no piracy (laughs)”.
He also told all gathered of the opening soon of another Koko Lounge on the island (Victoria Island, Lagos).

Don Jazzy also taking questions concerning any plans of signing a new act to theMoHits label said he had considered signing the First Lady of MoHits from the next Koko Mansion season 2 (Watch Out). He (Don Baba J) also debunked the numerous track list circulating on the internet about Knaye West forth coming album and said he is not yet certain any of his works or D’Banj would be on Kanye West album.

Loolz, we need to know the details of this Good music contract. I always say the thing is just bogus and folks be going for my head. What do they mean their part of the contract is $3M which they have provided. I tot they were signed to Good music. Why are they paying. I just think its kinda label/label partnership thingy and folks were all here running they mouths about these folks getting signed to Good music. Nigerians will do anything to hype their wack artists lol. How do you going abt saying someone got signed without the signee making a statement. Thanks mohits for clearing things up and shoutz to don jazzy, Africa's finest producer. One of the most humble entertainer ve come across. But seriously if these guys funded $3M its no joke. They are paid.
My 2 cents
