Highlights
1. Don Jazzy: Did he shy-away or run-away from a memorable TV moment?
That’s the question that lingered in the hearts of those who
witnessed the 60th birthday of Senator Ben Murray-Bruce from their seats
at the Eko Hotel and suites or from their living rooms.
During the Friday/Saturday event, D’banj was performing on stage when the common sense Senator requested for Don Jazzy to also mount the stage to perform a song with his former Mo’hits partner/producer, Don Jazzy.
The Chairman of Silverbird Entertainment Group, pleaded: “Please do this for me, it is my birthday request.”
That moment @donjazzy was MIA? couldn’t fulfill @benmbruce’s request #benbruceat60

While the wait of a few minutes lasted, many in the hall opined that
ace producer may have deliberately left the venue of Senator Bruce’s
60th birthday party so as not to perform with D’banj.
D’banj, in an effort to save himself from the embarrassing situation,
made a promise to make sure to that a collaboration between himself and
Don Jazzy, comes to fruition.
He responded, saying: “Sir, I have given serious consideration to
this. Before I came on stage, I went to Don Jazzy and asked him to join
me on stage. If he (Don Jazzy) gives me a beat today, the song will be
ready the next day.”
Don Jazzy has however taken to his twitter page to explain why he did what he did.
