It started as rumours and unsure speculation; but we can now
confirm that D’banjand Ikechukwu have put the past
behind them, settled their differences, and rekindled their once robust
business and personal relationship.
We’re all familiar with the story of their quarrel, leading
to media exchanges and eventual separation – with Ikechukwu going on his own to
revive his World Famous Akademy (WFA) posse while Mo’Hits shut
its doors on him and turned the lock.
But yesterday, several months after D’banj and Ikechukwu’s very public feud, fans
were shocked to see both acts hit the stage together for an elaborate
performance at the Sprite Triple Slam finale in Eko Hotel,
Lagos on Sunday, August 7, 2011. It was a surprise performance, for Ikechukwu
was not on the bill. Headliner D’banj was performing with Kay Switch, Bankuli and Wande
Coal. The Mo’Hits stars kicked off their performance at 8pm taking fans way
back into the early D’banj days on ‘Tongolo‘. At 8:15, Ikechukwu emerged
from backstage, as the live band switched the sound and launched his song. He
joined D’banj to perform ‘Critical‘, ‘Wind am well’ and some
of his other Don Jazzy-produced hits, before tthe band switched
again and focused on D’banj’s songs.
Ikechukwu remained on stage all through D’banj’s set and
both acts hugged, shared jokes and displayed a new found friendship that makes
it difficult to believe they were sworn ‘enemies’ just few months back.
A Mohits insider tells us ‘they’ve been talking’; adding
that yesterday’s show is not the first time they’re performing together since
their ‘exaggerated altercation’.
‘They were together in Abuja recently and they hit the stage
together’, he says.
No word yet on whether ikechukwu will return to Mo’Hits.
