Whether it was in peace or not in peace. Tiwa Savage and I are not fighting but I will still love to work with her. Whether you are fighting or not, it will still hurt. You have built friendship and will have to start building all over again.

The music executive disclosed that D’banj was a catalyst in his music production. He noted that D’banj encouraged him to be better and pushed him to hone his craft.
“Any situation that I am in, it’s like I am content. Everything that people see in me now, D’banj saw it first. He was like, you can be this, you can be that. He just sparked it in me. Left to me, I will just be where I am and not do much about it. He was the catalyst. If he didn’t see that I can deliver an album for him, I won’t have delivered an album for him,” Don Jazzy said.
