Not just a few believed that controversial actress cum singer, Tonto Dike, wasn’t going to last as a member of D’Banj’s DB Records. And truly, she didn’t prove them wrong as the babe was allegedly kicked out of the record label.
He said, “I had
a meeting with my team last year and I told everyone of them, my producers,
songwriters and artistes that this year, they have to go and work harder than
they have ever done in the past years. I advised them to sit up and I even
included myself even though I am their boss. That is why you would notice that
I am not using my in-house producers, I am branching out to get producers from
around the country.
“For instance, I never met the producer of the song, Emergency,
before we did the song. Even the song that I am about to release now which
features Oskido and some other South African artistes was done by a Nigerian
that I had never met before.
“I made up my mind that I was not going to do things the same way we
used to do them anymore; there is no way we keep doing the same thing and
expect to produce different results. We are all talented and I believe that all
the artistes I took under my wings are very talented. Tonto Dikeh can stand
alone because she is very talented, they are all big brands and from their
looks, you know they have great talents. All I did was to tell them that we
should look for ways to make things work better. Also, when a woman is married,
it is a different ball game. I have not seen her since the marriage and of
course, now she has a child. She has been out of the country and I would say to
you that the last thing she said to me was that she wanted to work on her
foundation. I believe when she comes back, she would take some decisions.”
The singer used the opportunity to express his disdain with the
constant questions Nigerians ask him concerning when he would tie the knot. He
promised that anytime he is asked the question, he would affirm that he is now
a married man.
“Who said I am not married? I would tell you the truth, I am not
married but if I am, nobody would hear about it. It is going to be a very quiet
wedding because I am tired of people asking me that question. It is my personal
life and it is not going to change my music or brand. I am not going to get
married just because people want me to, neither would I do it just to enter
another phase of my life just like some of my colleagues have done. They make
it seem as if once you are married you have retired. But that should not be the
case. Marriage would not change anything about me and whenever it happens,
nobody would hear about it, there would only be speculations. My wife would not
be seeking for fame because the one I have is already enough for all my family
members. When I get married, it would be a very quiet one. Who knows, it might
have already happened.”
