Dapo 'D'banj' Oyebanjo has signed to his new (yet unnamed) record label, the fast rising pop star, David 'Davido' Adeleke
Investigations confirmed the signing took place on Wednesday, May 16th, 2012 at the 19-year-old's house in Lekki, after a five-man meeting involving D'banj, his manager, Abisagboola 'Bankulli' Oluseun, Davido, his manager, Asa Asika and father, Deji Adeleke.
After the signing, both acts and their crew members then headed out to the weekly Industry Nite at the Oriental Hotels to celebrate. Davido's manager, when contacted, however, played down the news of the signing, insisting that both parties are still in talks. "We are still in talks, that's all I have to say for now, it could take a day or a year", Asa Asika said in a phone conversation.
Davido, had until now, remained an unsigned act but has in the past year, risen to A-list status with just three singles out.
He now joins D'banj's younger brother KSwitch on the label which, according to insiders, will be affiliated to Island Def Jam Africa.
