Nigerian rapper, Ikechukwu Onunaku better known by his stage name, Ikechukwu has opened up on his time in the now defunct, MoHits record label.
The award-winning rapper, in an interview with media personality, Daddy Freeze alleged that D’banj, who was part of the owners of the label, was always cheating him. He claimed that D’banj only gave him N50k out of the N1 or 2 million he was always paid for shows. According to him, when he got booked for shows, the money was paid to D’banj’s account, who in turn would give him a meager amount of money.
However, things later changed when his fee was reviewed and he was upgraded to earning N150000 per show. A decision which was made by D’banj’s mother, who he claimed was in control of the label.
He further alleged that the singer’s mother ran MoHits record and the singer would always seek her consent before any decision was made.
“When we used to go on the road, dem go pay Banga money, Banga go do like say e dey do me favor, him go give me N50k, back then I used to book like N1.5m, N1m, N2m. He increased it one time after we don fight, he increased am say ‘e talk to mummy, we go increase am to N150k’.”
Mummy is Dbanj’s mum, she was part of the record label spiritually. Ask Don Jazzy, dem no dey make decisions without momsi giving the okay for a very long time.”
