I thought dbanj I mean former dbanj signed to Sony/Mercury some years ago. This record labels are known to drop artist like piece of trash if they don't hit it after the first album. As for our lazy journalists and bloggers who copies and paste whatever they see on IG or FB, pick up the phone and ring these label to know what the deal is worth and stop being lazy.
I bet dbanj is feeling sorry for himself as we speak.

Career death! if you ask me.. what happened to dbanj when he signed with an international record label? we all know that.. That crossover is tough. Davido's music is not of international standard.. with all the pidgin.. pidgin is not internationally recognized.. that's by the way.. the struggle over there is real for other artists.. that have been there longerrrr than he was born. not hating on him tho.. matter of fact I don't give a shit!!

He should stop lying to us. He's not even the first Nigerian to sign with Sony not to talk of first African. Nneka Egbuna signed with Sony. Loick Essien was with Sony Music from 2007-2013. A handful of South African artistes have also been on Sony label; Locnville (Andrew and Brian Chaplin), Louise Carver was on Sony-BMG label,so were AKA (Kiernan Jarryd Forbes), and DJ Bullet. If you have signed with Sony Entertainment, it's excellent news on its own but don't make a fraudulent claim.
