Following rumors suggesting that Mo’Hits bosses – hit producer Don Jazzy and D’banj were arrested in New York on Sunday, September 25, 2011 for drug trafficking, the G.O.O.D Music/label boss has reacted to the news saying he ‘hopes people are not shallow enough to believe’.
Rumours about the arrest surfaced on micro-blogging site Twitter but Don Jazzy was quick to respond to the news in the most humorous of ways. ‘Dem catch us with Alomo abi?” a sarcastic response to a tweet asking ‘Wats wit dis rumor abt dbanj N donjazzy being in d custody of F.B.I 4 drug trafficking?’, @DONJAZZY tweeted.
‘If dbanj was caught with drugs in yankee that one mean say for a trip from Ghana to Lagos u need to transit in NY abi? osheee lol’ and ‘laff about it sometimes and hope some people re not shallow enough to actually believe’, He continued.
Apparently, D’banj was returning to Lagos from Ghana while Don Jazzy had just returned from Korea. But both acts were in Lagos when the rumours hit the cyber space.
A Statement from the Mo’Hits media company, Media Image Managers, dispelling the rumours was subsequently released. It reads:
D’banj and Don Jazzy are in Lagos. They are no where near New York. The two respected artistes are proud Nigerians doing the country proud worldwide. They do not need to peddle drugs as they are successful young men who worked hard to get to where they are today. The report making the rounds that they were arrested in America on Sunday is false and an attempt to tarnish the image of these proudly Nigerian artistes. It’s a figment of someone’s evil imagination. D’banj’s media company, Media Image Managers are not losing sleep about this malicious campaign, but records must be set straight. D’banj and Don Jazzy are at their Lekki home in Lagos, Nigeria, they are well and okay. They have had no brush with the law for any reason, not even for a traffic offence.
In June 2011, Don Jazzy and D’banj signed to US rapper Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music record label
