"D'BANJ IS ANGRY WITH ME" - DURELLA

D’Banj & Durella have had quite an interesting
relationship.
Probably because of their similar voice textures and
music style, rumors of a rift between both acts were
predominant a while back. However, all that
seemed to have been put beyond them when both
artistes began to move in the same circles, usually
ending up photographed together. There were
even hints of D’Banj signing Durella to his newly
formed DB Records.

Fast forward a few months, and their love tryst has
proved to be short-lived. It all began after Durella’s
version of D’Banj’s “Blame it on the Money”
surfaced on the Internet. According to Durella, the
music community assumed that the song was
originally performed by Durella and that D’Banj
jacked it from him. This assumption then led to a
falling out between him and his ‘brother’ D’Banj.
His comments,

“I know there’s been a lot of controversy out there
because of the song but ‘Blame it on the money’ is
D’Banj’s song, I actually did my own version after
he did his own, just trying to test my own ability.
But people are saying a lot of things out there,
churchilians, enemies have been saying a lot of
things saying D’banj jacked Durella’s song. It’s a
big lie I’m telling you.”
He also went on to say, “Actually my brother is
angry with me because I did the song without
seeking his permission, but not withstanding, he is
still my brother, we’re still family.”

Still if Durella is to be believed, all is not lost.
Because “We’re still working together by Gods
grace, we’re still family. I’m happy to be doing this
interview to clear the air. ‘Blame it on the Money’ is
D’Banj’s song”
