What Mr Real says
Mr Real described feeling shortchanged by the partnership with the veteran. He said he worked with D’Banj for two years without fair rewards. The payment, he said, was paltry and hard to accept.
He also said he supported D’Banj financially while the veteran was in custody. He said he wired five hundred thousand naira during that time for support. He feels owed and seeks public answers from D’Banj now.
He said he will keep calling until he is properly settled. He said on air, “Every chance I get.” He added that public pressure can help secure overdue answers.
Mr Real gave one short example of poor returns from the deal. He said he once rode Uber while cars sat unused and unpaid. Those details underline his claim of unmet commitments and missed chances.
Industry response
Fans and watchers reacted across social media today. Clips from the interview spread quickly online yesterday. Comment threads ask for clear answers from both sides.
Some peers urged calm and professional handling instead. Others said legal steps may be needed to settle matters fairly. No formal police reports are known at this time.
D’Banj’s camp has not issued a full response to these claims. A brief message from his team appeared on social accounts this morning. It asked followers to avoid rush judgements for now.
Several music figures reminded fans about past disputes and outcomes. They said long careers often include messy deals and fixable errors. Those voices urged proper records and calm talks to resolve claims.
Industry watchers noted the story could affect public deals and trust. They asked both sides to show contracts and prove payments. Clear documents would help settle this matter outside public rows.
What comes next
Legal experts say contracts must be reviewed first in such cases. They advise documentation of payments and any written agreements made. That would help if the case reaches court or formal review.
Industry elders often step in to calm things down in disputes. They mediate talks and seek fair outcomes for both sides. Elders have done so in past music disputes across the scene.
For now fans wait for clearer answers from both camps. We will watch for formal statements or legal filings in coming days. See our look at D’Banj and Don Jazzy reunite for wider context on recent moves.
