Nigerian music lovers this morning woke to a video shared by Don Jazzy where, alongside D’banj and Wande Coal, he performed the hit tune from their Mo’Hits days, ‘Pere‘ at the 50th birthday celebration of Segun Oniru, Lagos State Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, The classic event took place at Eko Hotel and Suites in Victoria Island.
The celebrant, Segun Oniru, a Lagos prince, is reputed as D’banj’s godfather and one of the big men behind the Kokomaster for years. In fact, word on the street is that he was financially responsible for the coming to Lagos of Amber Rose for D’banj’s 10th anniversary kick-off party. Just so you know, the celebrant is best of friends with Folly Coker (believed to be the sponsor of Don Jazzy and Mavin Records), so the connection is tight as these are men who have over the years been instrumental to the success of the 3 music stars and have invested in their brands and careers over the years. The least they could do was to honour him with a surprise performance on the occasion of his Golden Jubilee.
