It's been over three years since music fans in the country and perhaps the entire continent got overwhelmed by the disintegration of one of the biggest music alliances Africa has ever seen. The break up of music power house Mo'Hits, founded by Michael Collins Ajereh (Don Jazzy) and Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo (Dbanj) remains in the news years after the major players have moved on. This was proven months ago after Dbanj sat on 'The Truth' with Olisa Adibua where he revealed that Dr. Sid was responsible for the break up. This assertion elicited responses from Dr. Sid and his Mavin label mate; D'Prince who expressed surprise.
The Mohits Saga which began as arumoured brawl of ego and bad blood would later be revealed to be about ambitions and personal dreams as revealed by Dbanj in an exclusive interview with NET at the thick of the brouhaha.
Nigerian music fans most definitely miss the duo of Don Jazzy and Dbanj. Apart from the beautiful music they made together, fans also miss the drama they were both known for at social gatherings and interviews where the Don was the "never speaking boss" and Dbanj; the ever active outgoing side kick who relates what the Don whispers to him. These act really worked for Nigerians and perhaps remain one of the things we all miss most about them.
Apart from this, Nigerians have missed certain things which we might however never have the opportunity to bring to reality.
•Best Men For Their Marriages
Both Dbanj and Don Jazzy are in their mid-30s and it is expected that marriage bells would start ringing soon. No doubt, if everything went on smoothly and the duo were still together, fans might have been blessed to see both bosses act as Best Men at their different weddings which inadvertently might however never come to pass. Infact we might have been blessed to have a joint wedding which even Psquare failed to give us. If the same day wedding was asking for too much, fans would at least have been blessed with a 'best man' role by the duo for themselves. These role most definitely would now be passed to younger brothers; D'Prince (Don Jazzy) and K-switch(Dbanj).
•Lacklustre 10 Years Anniversary
Despite all the hype and noise made by organisers which made the 10 years anniversary of Dbanj one of the most anticipated events in recent times, the ceremony is still regarded as a huge flop. While many would blame all sort of reasons including Wiz Khalifa's ex-Wife for this, it is obvious a better, well packaged event could have been witnessed had the power brace of Don Jazzy and Dbanj been together. They started together 10 years ago and so a decade anniversary of Mohits (not just Dbanj) would have had the entire continent stand still. Unfortunately this never happened...
•Losing A Selling Brand
Despite perceived or acclaimed successes of both camps at present, it is apparent fans and prospective business partners would have preferred if the duo were still a team. Although, nobody has proven this but it is expected that certain brands would have withdrew their ventures with the duo since they could no longer get the "complete package" they expected. This directly means the duo would probably had made more money if they remained a duo but unfortunately they are no longer together. It can also be assumed that if a Mo'hits break up never occurred, then the unceremonious departure of singer Wande Coal from Don Jazzy's camp (Mavin) might have never happened. This is putting into consideration the Black Diamond's now broken loyalty after the Mo'hits break up.
•Ofcourse More Hits
Between them, Dbanj and Don Jazzy made more hits than fans could savour. This is definitely what we would miss most about them. Somebody once said Dbanj being on the hit track 'Dorobucci' would have made the jam even more infectious. Imagine a duet between Dbanj and Tiwa Savage with Don Jazzy ad libs on the background. How much we miss this team.
It has been three years since the break-up but the Mo'hits saga remains an interesting case study for observers as well as a learning precept for emerging teams and people trying to grow winning brands with "friends". Whether a Mo'Hits reunion would be possible remains open with many hoping it does occur. This wish is further expected especially after we have seen a reunion from former band mates; Plantainshun Boiz (2Face, Black Face & Faze) as well as a planned come back by popular group; Remedies (Eedriz Abdulkareem, Tony Tetuila and Eddy Remedy) who are some of the pioneers of Nigeria's contemporary Afro-hip hop genre.
