In the now widely read interview where he spoke about the split, D’banj is quoted as saying thus: ‘Other labels were springing up. So if we could conquer America, London when no one had done it before. Most of our people stop in Germany, or Paris. But this is America, this is the big league; it makes us the strongest, the biggest. We had already made the money. And who best to introduce me to the rest of the world? Kanye did not want to change anything about my music, my style of dressing, or my brand. It is God’s favour. But Jazzy was and is very scared. Something had worked for eight years, so he wanted to maintain the status quo. People are afraid to try new things.’
The entertainer could only have been referring to Asa and Nneka when he made mention of Paris and Germany. Asa is signed to a France based label, Naive and Nneka is partly German – where she relocated to when she was 18 years of age to live with her mother who is German.
