D’Banj and Don Jazzy – squaring off

Come 23 November, ex-buddies and business partners, D’Banj and Don Jazzy, will be rocking the same stage at the High Impact concert taking place at the main bowl of Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.

The former friends will be leading other top acts, including the Mavin Records crew of Wande Coal, D’Prince, Dr. Sid and Tiwa Savage, as headliners of the second edition of the concert put together by Solution Media and Infotech.
This is the first time all the old Mo’Hits stars would be performing in the same venue on the same day since the unceremonious brouhaha that led to the re-arrangement of the once promising entertainment family.
Others on the bill that night, expected to be the biggest live event in Lagos, include Iyanya, Davido and Waje.
“High Impact Entertainment music concert is a continuing story of great music, light, laser multimedia and fun. It is put together all in the spirit of promoting unity, love and oneness, and this second edition will feature the greatest Nigerian artists live in concert with the best of lights and sound available on the African continent, wowing the over 30,000 people expected in attendance,” the organisers stated.
