My management and my lawyer are sorting that out. I’m remaining focused on creating more music.

Dissapeared? Anything can ‘dissapear’ depending on where you look.
4. Just recently, Asa Asika signed D’Banj to his management company, StarGaze which has other artistes like Ayo Jay, Bhoj and the rest of them. Why are you not working with such hardworking miracle performers?

More music, singles, collaborations and videos. The whole nine yards.

My lawyer will sort all of that out.

2015.
