D’banj did not invite me for his anniversary –D’Prince

The much talked about D’banj’s 10th year anniversary on stage has come and gone but the memory still lingers. It was reported that so many Nigerian artistes including his label mates were not invited to the concert. And confirming that, his former label mate, D’Prince, in a recent chat with Saturday Beats, said he was not invited. He explained that he was not in town and perhaps, that may be why he didn’t get any invitation. He emphasised that there is no quarrel between him and D’banj as they are close friends. “D’banj is my very good friend and anytime I see him, we hug and talk. There is no beef between us. The truth is that I was not in town when D’banj had his anniversary.” Explaining why his other label mates were not present at the concert, D’Prince said, “Tiwa Savage is pregnant and Dr. Sid is also not in town while Don Jazzy was in South Africa. I was not in town and even before I travelled, I did not get a personal invitation to the event.” Commenting on D’banj’s recent interview where he spoke about how Mo’Hit broke up, D’Prince said he thought the issue was long gone and forgotten. “To be frank, I thought that chapter was closed about two years ago, I never knew that D’banj is still granting interviews regarding the split because I thought we had gone through the whole story, leaked e-mail, hearsays and the likes. I am so happy that D’banj and Mavin Records are doing great. I don’t want us to keep putting the fans in the mishmash. The fans would always be vulnerable. The fans would always want to be entertained and we would always be the puppets that entertain them. “I think D’banj was speaking based on his feelings and the fans reacted. I will always have love for Mo’hits, DB records and Mavin Records because at the end of the day, it is the music that would keep us relevant. It is what brought us to where we are in the first place. We should all concentrate on our work and progress. We should love one another and not hate. There is no fight or war between us. What matters most is moving forward and making music. I feel that he was pressured to do the interview; he did so and expressed his feelings. I may agree and disagree with some of the things that he said but at the end of the day, I am still going to stick to love, peace and harmony,” he said. D’Prince is currently ecstatic about the success of his current song, Oyo, and is working on his next album due to be out very soon.
