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.”
