D’banj clears air on Tonto Dikeh and his record label
(Nigeria) Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo, popular Nigerian singer and Chief
Executive Officer of D’banj Records, with stage name, D’banj, on Monday,
cleared the air on weather actress/singer, Tonto Dikeh, has left his record
label or not.
It was rumored that Dikeh, a female musician in D’banj
records was kicked off the record label because she was not generating enough
money for the company.
However, D’banj in an interview said nothing of such
happened.
He said ``I had a meeting with my team last year and I told
everyone of them, my producers, songwriters and artistes that this year, they
have to work harder than they had done in the past years.
``I advised them to sit up and I even included myself even
though I am their boss. That is why you would notice that I am not using my
in-house producers, I am branching out to get producers from around the
country.
``For instance, I never met the producer of the song
‘Emergency’, before we did the song. Even the song that I am about to release
now which features Oskido and some other South African artistes was done by a
Nigerian that I had never met before.
``I made up my mind that I was not going to do things the
same way we used to do them anymore; there is no way we keep doing the same
thing and expect to produce different results.
``We are all talented and I believe that all the artistes I
took under my wings are very talented.''
When asked on why Tonto Dikeh left his record label, he said
``she can stand alone because she is very talented, they are all big brands and
from their looks, you know they have great talents.
``All I did was to tell them that we should look for ways to
make things work better.
``Also, when a woman is married, it is a different ball
game. I have not seen her since the marriage and of course, now she has a
child.
``She has been out of the country and I would say to you
that the last thing she said to me was that she wanted to work on her
foundation.
``I believe when she comes back, she would take some
decisions.”
