Wizkid extends appreciation to D'Banj, Mo’ Hits for housing him when he began his career

Grammy award-winning singer Wizkid has revealed that he grew up around D'Banj and the now-defunct Mo' Hits Records.

The singer expressed his gratitude to them for taking care of him like family during his early years of living with them.

In an interview, Wizkid claimed that despite living with the entire Mo' Hits group, he spent a lot of time with them and that they had never acknowledged him.

Wizkid honoured Wande Coal, Dr. Sid, D'Prince, D'Banj, and music executive, Don Jazzy all of whom have subsequently left the band.

The musician expressed gratitude for their part in the development of African music, saying that it was and continues to be a significant event.

Wizkid said: “I grew up around D’Banj a lot, you know like Mo’ Hits, that era. I was in the house they didn’t even know I was in the house. I was even living with them, they didn’t even know I was living with them. That was how crazy it was, cos we were just family.

“So big shoutout to D’Banj, yeah Mo’Hits, Wande Coal, Don Jazzy, Dr Sid, Prince, God bless you guys, that was big, that was a strong team that did a lot for African music.”
