Why I Desire What Tems Did for Seyi Sodimu and How I Plan to Get It - D’Banj

Nigerian singer Tems won a Grammy earlier this year for Best African Music Performance for her song "Love Me Jeje", a song that is based on the original song "Love Me Jeje" by Seyi Sodimu. It is a meeting of an old meeting a new, and Nigerian singer D'Banj saw that collaboration and wants such for himself.

In a new interview, D'Banj reveals that he loves what Tems did for Seyi Sodimu's career with her song "Love Me Jeje" and reveals that with his plethora of classic songs, he wishes to have something similar happen to one of his songs. However, D'Banj is not just manifesting this, he's actually taking steps to make this happen.

During his interview while speaking about his future plans, D'Banj said:

D'BANJ: You are going to be seeing a lot of collaborations. My most recent album The Entertainment Sequel is six months old, it came out last august, so part of the collaborations we will be doing with Cream is that we would have new talents from across Africa to make remixes on the album. The plan is to make a deluxe version of that album. I have received a lot of messages from people asking for remixes of both new and old songs.

When I checked my wrapped for the year, even though I spent a lot of money in marketing my new album, my number one streamed song on the catalogue is "Fall In Love" which I released 17 years ago. Why don’t I give them a remix to that and also use that to elevate talents? See Seyi Sodimu and Tems with "Love Me Jeje." We love it because we knew it when it just came out and the new people love it because it is Tems. So we are going to mix that together and educate the youth.

Speaking about a Mo'Hits reunion which has been the desire of many Mo'Hits fans for years, D'Banj still remaining tight lipped on the subject revealed this much. He said:

D'BANJ: The plan is very clear, if you look at the trailer of my album last year which has Don Jazzy in it, that’s because the works are already in place. We know that the people want that and we are going to give it to the people but it is very important for us to do it at the right time and there’s no better time than now. I remember flying back from America with Wande Coal and we were talking about it and it’s not just about Mo’ Hits reunion but about celebrating Afrobeats, watch out for the collaboration.

What do you think about what D'Banj had to say, and are you also eagerly awaiting a Mo'Hits reunion? Also, would you like to see one of D'Banj's songs get a "Love Me Jeje" type of moment and if so, which of his songs?
