Dotun accuses Dbanj of being instrument of discord in child custody case
Dotun Kayode, the radio host, has accused D’banj, the singer, of being an instrument of discord in his child custody case with Omotayo, his estranged wife.
D’banj is a brother-in-law to Dotun while Omotayo and D’banj are siblings.
Omotayo and Dotun’s marriage, which began in 2013, hit a rough patch in 2022 when Omotayo filed for divorce, citing allegations of forced abortion.
The high court in Abuja granted a divided custody of their children, a decision Omotayo did not oppose, pending the final resolution of the suit.
Recently, Dotun resumed his child custody battle with his wife, claiming he is being denied access to his children.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, Dotun alleged that D’banj is causing pain and discord in his life.
He recalled the support he gave D’banj when the singer lost his son and accused him of repaying him with negativity.
Dotun mouthed that Dbanj is experiencing career stagnation because of what he described as the singer’s “self-centered” nature.
The OAP claimed that Dbanj targeted his family after he refused to work with him.
He argued that the children in question are his, not D’banj’s and accused the singer of trying to alienate them from him.
“I know how much I was there for you when you lost your son. You know the pain of losing a child but you are now the instrument of discord and wickedness in mine,” Dotun wrote.
“You see why your career never took a lift, it is because you only see yourself and never see what others see.
“You knew this boy lifted and it upset you. So the only way to hurt him was through his wife and kids. You knew I loved them. After I said I cannot work with you, that was my issue.
“These are my kids not yours. People do not know why I am involving you so much, you will not make me happy yet you and your family took my source of joy.”
As of when this report was filed, Dbanj is yet to respond to Dotun’s accusations.

Odumodublvck reveals how Don Jazzy gave him $10k the day he met him for collabo
Odumodublvck, the Nigerian rapper, has recalled how Don Jazzy, the music producer, gave him $10,000 during one of their meetings.
In a recent interview on Beat 97.9FM, the rapper, whose real name is Tochukwu Ojogwu, said he had reached out to Don Jazzy to collaborate on his song ‘Asampete’.
The 31-year-old said he felt that the music producer’s vocals were needed to complete the track.
Odumodublvck said during his visit to Don Jazzy’s residence, he was given the money and told that he could keep all the royalties from the song.
He added that Don Jazzy even offered to be featured as an artiste on the track.
“Don Jazzy is the king of Afrobeats. But ask anybody there is nobody who is more original than Don Jazzy. Don Jazzy is an OG. Respect to my brothers Burna, Wiz, Olamide, Dave all of us used to look up to him. Like the way we used to look up to them — Wizkid and David, they used to look up to him,” he said.
“…I just hit him up. The first day we did ‘Asampere’, I recorded a vocal that sounded like Don Jazzy’s vocal and I was like Don Jazzy should do it.
“When I went to meet him, he gave me a lot of money. I have to put it out there. I tell them everywhere I go. He gave me $10,000 cash. Don no be for mouth. He still gave me vocals.
“He now told me that I can keep all the royalties and I can keep him as a featured artiste. That day, they still cooked food for me to eat. They gave me turkey. The line for ‘turkey’ was already put in the song and that was God.”

Lil Smart files petition against Naira Marley, Zinoleesky over threat to life
Lil Smart, the Nigerian dancer, has filed a petition against Naira Marley and Zinoleesky over the alleged threat to his life.
On December 9, Smart shared disturbing photos and videos on social media, claiming his life was in danger.
He warned that Naira Marley and Zinoleesky should be held responsible if anything happened to him.
Zinoleesky, however, denied the allegations, accusing Smart of “chasing clout”. He also threatened legal action against the dancer.
In a recent Instagram post, Smart alleged he had previously endured bullying from the singers but lacked the evidence needed to take legal action.
He said he has officially submitted his petition with the necessary evidence to the authorities and is hopeful that the legal system will grant him justice.
“This has not been the first or third time I have been experiencing this bullying. But I did not have enough evidence to face the law. Now, I thank God that I have very good evidence, and I will put everything I have in line to make sure this bullying and threat to life is stopped,” he said.
“With my evidence, I really hope that they are not too big to be apprehended and face the law. I have submitted my petition, and I have provided my evidence to the authorities. By God’s grace, the law that binds us as citizens of Nigeria will make sure I get the justice I deserve.”
Naira Marley is yet to comment on the allegations.
