Speaking with Seun Okinbaloye, he explained that the split wasn’t fueled by bad blood but by a difference in direction and timing, which eventually pushed both of them toward new phases of growth. He praised Don Jazzy for making the transition smooth, especially by transferring full ownership of his catalog — including several unreleased records — a gesture he described as pivotal in keeping his career intact. Looking back at their final major collaboration, Oliver Twist, he described it as a breakthrough moment that helped propel him to a wider global audience. D’Banj shared: “It didn’t come from me, the idea to go our separate ways didn’t come from me, it came from Don Jazzy 100%.

It’s not about the record label for me, it’s about the movement and future.” “For me personally, even though it was a journey and he had his opinions, I knew that we needed to cement that global movement, and I’m glad that, in the end, God still made it happen for us.” The idea to break from Don Jazzy didn't come from me – DbanjFind out more via the link below:https://t.co/lYVDjqfWQZ You can watch the full show via our YouTube channel See the link below:https://t.co/RMXssrK3tT…#miconpodcast pic.twitter.com/jIu6AAO2Fv — MIC ON PODCAST (@Themiconshow) November 16, 2025
