According to its Wikipedia page, Mercury Records is a record label operating as a standalone company in the UK and as part of the The Island Def Jam Music Group in the US; both are subsidiaries of Universal Music Group... and it seems the Kokomaster is signed to the label as he was listed on their official website as one of their acts alongside international stars like Neyo, Rihanna, Elton John, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, U2 etc.

All things come to an end, I guess D guy is looking to go to bigger places than Don J could take him. No hard feelings. He should make peace with Don J n all should move on . Dear Linda love ur blog . Give us more gists jor!!! Lol
Very soon he'll sign with me wink wink lol
Linda, when he drops an album, make you ping me. Till then no more D'banj gist. I don tire!
its not about signin so many deals but about delevering good musiq to ur fans,wondering what kind of musiq he ll be singing now,,,will they produce beats lik don jazzy's?cuz in my own opinion thats wat makes dbanj,,,,ok now show us what u can achieve on ur own.Godbless ur hustle
Dbanj i know say one day u go make am big...to succeed in life you have to first let go of some limitations..God go make you bigger Dapo!
I luv dbanj but d way is going i knw 4 sure very soon is going down & 'll not be relevant again*not hater* wants 2 go international bt dont have wat it takes**SMH 4 him**

he's still signed with GOOD music but his music will be distributed by Mecury records, which is part of Island Def jam. So basically he's a GOOD Music/Mecury/IDJ artist.
I don't know what is wrong with D'banj. Typical Nigerian attitude....he wants more and more and more. That's how he will be signing from one company to another until he looses everything. The people around him need to advise him. This is how the beginning of the end usually starts. Dapo be content and allow God to glorify Nigeria through you!!

D'B Move on...f...k all ya haters
D'B Move on...f...k all ya haters
to the next gist linda. The guy jus dey vex me sha. Why wld he diss the dude who saved his struggling ass from the JJC n 419 squad those mouth organ days. Even if he wants to move to bigger things (which is all good) he no need dey chew rotten turkey dey yarn say hin buy moto for don J, prince and som oda below belt gist. In the words of Uti; Abeg Abeg Abeg! Mk dbanj to straff yellow toad jor! Month hits rules!!!
very soon now he would sign with the devil that is if he has not already done so....
No be by signing oh, let him release an album and let the numbers speak, then I will have respect for him, other than that he is full of bs....... Am sha waiting
SIGNING ON TO EVERY LABEL IS NOT WHAT UR FANS NEED. GIVE THEM D KOKO. I HOPE U CAN STILL SING A DANCEABLE SONG WTOUT DON BABA, IF NOT U DON FINISH BE DAT
Dats very serious... D'banj will soon break up soon.
produce beat without don baba well let use see ohhh as the oliver twist just showed that don had nothing to do with it as it was one of the worst music video i have seen of dbanj
all u haters of dbanj,pls continue d beef while he keeps himself,his family, and his fans happy.una no dey tire? if he is ur your broda,would any of you stl write all this nonsense about him?
enemies,shame on to you,dbanj dey make money,una dey beef.
hmmmm..........gud for dbanj if this is true ooo.
Mercury Records is part of Island Jef Dam which gives him & his songs more clout in Europe.
Menakaya's baby, read your post where you said you are 20. No wonder! I won't take issues up with you anymore. You still have a lot to learn. It's "loses" BTW and not "looses."
WRITTEN BY ME:
Jack of all trade, i think this guy is loosing it. Don't be confuse o because i see confusion.
for all dbanj haters,did u read this or u decided to overlook it? "he's still signed with GOOD music but his music will be distributed by Mecury records, which is part of Island Def jam. So basically he's a GOOD Music/Mecury/IDJ artist"

lol
Lin lin!!! Next time u post stuff about dis boring peeps, i wld never visit ur blog again.... I FIT?????? Loool love u hun. Yommizle
for all you haters don baba did not save dbanj they were just partners. the problems u haters have is that you know no shit about music and you just yearn rubbish. most of you are loosers in your fields and instead to support a dude going up you begin looking for his downfall.must dbanj be with don? is it by force? 2 baba left the group and today its beetter for him.if he had listen to all the fools around him then like all you square heads who hate dbanj that will have been his end.the truth you guys fail to undrestand is that it will be very had for don to hit it without dbanj and very easy for dbanj without don. Dapo move on jor....change is the constant thing in life. to all you haters baba e loma run down.
Dbanj might have left Mo'hits,but he is swelling up internationally BIG TIME,it goes to show you that no matter who God has blessed,no matter how many haters,so peeps stop hating and do your own thing.
Wow, the guy is really taking naija music to the next level.
www.47vids.com
Let's wait and see the king of beats they'l produce for dbanj
To be honest, he excelled well under don jazzy,but I am not sure Kanye and co will deliver quality beat that will make fans dance.I am not going to hate sha,because if God has set him to succeed,he will grow bigger.
All the best dbanj. It seems like more than half of naija have turned against you. So do your job and prove them wrong. Just go and make music and let's see if you have evolved. good luck to the other guys on the other team idja and them too. Evolve into something greater

If you are in Nigeria, whether or not you are into internet marketing or Network marketing, and you're tired of "old school" MLM programs like Edmark, Tasly, Tienshi, Oriflame, FLP, GNLD, DXN, and Green World where you have to build 7-20 teams depending on the company to reach the top and then have to wait until the middle of next month to get paid, you are going to love this! Build just 2 teams, get paid WEEKLY, + top achievers receive a new C-class Mercedes PLUS cash bonuses of $25,000-$375,000 USD!

I am sorry to say, but until i see or hear music from him, i cannot pass my judgement. record deals and all, doesnt matter if you dont produce good product. But congrats to him, but i hope he uses that pedestal to better his music. I am just waiting to hear his first songs off these labels.
Oninye ekwensu.. O ka o na adi.. Sum1 mentioned tuface but he didn't go abt claiming he owed kennis music and all.. He moved on.. Banjo should have done same amicably.. All dat glitters well let's kip waitn.. His nu singles would confirm hw far and d end eventually will justify d means!!
No matter how international a star goes, it is the naija residents there that will support him. A few whites may appreciate the music but only if there is an african sound to it. Most importantly, the artiste must have a good voice. Dbanj CANNOT sing, he cannot dance, so what's his talent really? We were just mesmerized by the BEATS to his songs, and performing in a towel. Is he more sexy than trey songz? Oliver twist video was a complete joke, he looked lost. We thought he had swag, but compared to big sean, he looked like a puppy. A bit like d'prince when he's with mohits crew.
I'll say it again, instead of fighting for cheap change from mohits, he shud go and make dollar. He's moving up, why's he still looking back?
He should ask craig david what happened when he left d UK to americanize his music. #dead

9ja blog, full of ignorant comments. They think everything has to go through ALABA market.
GOOD Music official distributors are:
ISLAND DEF JAM (U.S.A)
MERCURY RECORDS (outside U.S.A)
They belong to the same (Universal Music) Group.
D’Banj GOOD Music songs will normally be distributed outside the US by Mercury Records. So, it is normal practice for D'Banj to sign a legally binding agreement with Mercury to market his songs in the UK.
Nigerians should understand that s if Dbanj is known worldwide for his talent, it will be referenced back to where he came from (which is Nigeria), and that will add to the country's reputation.
pls tell me which of you that won't be proud to see a African- Nigerian dude progressing internationally? and i will show you a 'witch' or 'wizard'.
ya''ll 2-face, diarrhea, running mouths will eat your ignorance words some day.
Na u joh! No deny am!! Besides when u born am wey she don dey get opinion? Lol.
More blessings to D'banj
Let's av a song dapo oyebanjo....tired of u being a b**** n dissin Don baba J...mk a song dt wud mk us no u actuai talented witout the DON
The best move d'banj ever made was to leave the clinging talentless and croaky voiced wannabe called "don jazzy"
To all the hating ignoramuses don jazzy was a mere back up singer with solatek the London Owambe group before teaming up with d banj and would never have amounted to nothing if not for him.
My dear, go and get urself educated about how the music industry works okay? It's really not cool to see people display so much ignorance while they criticize others stupidly. Know before u speak
You have to learn to deal with flake outs, multiple rejections on a nightly basis, and a lot of time in
front of women.
