However, he had already left the hall at that time. D’banj then said on stage, “he don escape”, “E be like say dey don hide am” and that he had already told Don Jazzy he will call him out to perform together.

This made many people speculate that Don Jazzy snubbed him, however, he cleared the air in his tweets below by saying he is not an artiste – remember in December 2015, he said he was retiring from his ‘artist side’. 

I already announced that i am taking a break from being an artist. Hence why i didn’t perform Surulere with Dr sid and concur with Timaya
