The closure of Mo’ HIts label resulted into a lot of things including the split of the label acts. While Don Jazzy gained the support of the trio of Wande Coal, Dr SID and D’Prince, D’banj was left with his brother, K Switch, hype man Special Ed and rapper, Ikechukwu who was a major affiliate
But both acts have remained close,
especially following the Mo’Hits brouhaha. Apart from Naeto C, who is
one of D’Banj’s closest friends, Ikechukwu we’re told, is one of the few
other D’banj colleagues ‘in whom he’s well pleased’.
He was present when D’banj made his first post Mo Hits split performance on Friday June 8, 2012, during the Benin leg of Star Trek, which also marked D’banj’s 32nd birthday. And he’s since joined him for many other gigs here and abroad.
‘I have heard a lot about my
relationship with D’banj. Some people call me his houseboy, bouncer, and
the rest, but let me say this, I have been close to D’banj since day
one. The first time I saw him was at Obi Asika’s house, when he was
about signing to Storm Records…and if you’re observant, you would have
discovered that we have similar features; he’s lepa just like me and we
have same swagger. So we’ve created some kind of bond right from time
which I was not opportuned to share with Don Jazzy. I only find people
that find me, simple! Those that I am important to are those that are
important to me. I am just chilling with D’banj and now that he’s making
a stand abroad, it’s going to be stupid of me not to utilize the
situation he already has. So, we are not just friends, we are also doing
business’, Ikechukwu said in a recent interview.
