Don Jazzy went on Twitter to declare that the single ‘Baby face’ released by Wande Coal, Tuesday, is rightfully his.
Wande Coal walked out of the Marvin Crew label to form his Black Entertainment music label less than a year after pitching tents with the ace music producer following the demise of Mo’Hits. According to Don Jazzy, this single ‘Baby Face’ was recorded by him (Don Jazzy) over a year ago.

But Wande Coal is fighting back with all his might
Wande Coal released a new single ‘Baby face’ under his Black Diamond Entertainment today Tuesday, November 5, 2013 and shortly after Don Jazzy took to Twitter to make a quick rant not divulging details.
‘How long will i continue 2 sweat and some people will choose to steal from me.
I am nice and easy going doesn’t mean u should disrespect me‘, Don Jazzy tweeted with the subject of the matter left in the dark.
It didn’t take long before he tweeted his own version of ‘Baby face’ explaining that he had recorded a studio demo about a year ago, going ahead to tweet a link to his own version describing Wande Coal’s action as INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT’.
Don Jazzy added ’I honestly expected y’all to come at me with me being childish. But enough is enough. even if i send my legal team on him una go complain 2.‘.
‘I can decide to shut him down with one call. but didnt. all i ask for is ‘give me my credit’ and nothing else‘. Sources have told us that Wande Coal’s parting with Don Jazzy and his Mavin Records record label was filled with bitterness, betrayal and disloyalty.
The current actions by both A-list artistes support the claims. Wande Coal before now had formed a strong affiliation with producer Don Jazzy shortly after label Mo’Hits Records closed shop.
Don Jazzy drafted his label mates – younger brother D’Prince, Dr SiD, Wande Coal and added a new face Tiwa Savage to launch his Mavin Records. But shortly after, there were stories of the label not being able to support the artistes.
On one occasion, Wande Coal was heard telling another artiste while in the UK that Don Jazzy did not have the financial capacity to carry the label.
Less than a year after Mavin Records launched, Wande left the label setting up his Black Diamond Entertainment outfit taking along with him the MAVIN official disc jockey DJ Spinall.
Along with his manager Nana Abbey, Wande now operates on his own. We are told D’banj’s former manager John ‘Bankulli’ Abisagboola is also working with Wande Coal.
We gather that close friends and associates are already scrambling to have this matter sorted out between these two quickly without any further smearing from any of the parties on the social media.
Their debacle comes barely twenty four hours after singers Davido and Wacomzy clutched each others throat on Twitter. Wacamzy had dissed Davido’s song ‘Skibodo’ ridiculing it as a weak song, Davido and Wacamzo have since been exchanging diss notes on their social media pages.

All your songs are catchy but very negative so of course the bad energy will lead to fights
ReplyDeleteWande Coal is an unusual talent. He doesn't need to be tied down by all this scandal, I believe he will do fine on his own.
ReplyDeleteWhich unusual talent!! Stealing someone's patent without recourse to him! I have listened to both the one made by Donjazy and the one Wande Coal released! A verbatim copy! Just difference in voice output!Mehn u guys can never be trusted. Is it DNA embedded! What perfidy!

ReplyDeleteBy stealing someone's patent! That's intellectual theft and it can ruin him outside the shores of this land! U guys are pitiable! Not judgingthings as it should be! Sacrificing integrity on the platform of ethnicity!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the big deal in asking for someone permission before using his material? Ten years or not we should all learn to do things right in Nigeria. In a more developed country wande cole may not be able to survive the financial implication of such a law suit...Odun Tutu
ReplyDeleteEven wande coal is not denying the fact he took it, rather he is appealing to emotions what has serving for 10yrs got to do with taking a song that is not yours? (but he made sense with his next tweet Don Jazzy could have called nau... haaba it is wande ooo), that is not how it is done he should give credit to whom it is due.
