Nigerian rap star, Ikechukwu Onunaku has revealed that he and his close friend, Naetochukwu Chikwe popularly known as Naeto C, are no longer in talking terms.
He said they had a fall out in London over his association with D’Banj and allegations that Naeto C leveled against him because of the music business and managerial aspects.
Ikechukwu who spoke during a live Instagram chat with media personality, Daddy Freeze, said that he was accused of following D’Banj, but he clarified that he was following their money.
He said; “Naeto and I had a big fall out in London. He was vexing for me that ‘I was following D’Banj’ but I was not following D’Banj, I was following our money.

Meanwhile, in another news…
CorrectNG recalls that Ikechukwu recounted his experience while being under the now-defunct label, MoHits Records, owned by Don Jazzy and D’Banj.
He claimed that D’Banj used to pay him N50,000 for shows even though the organisers had booked him for a performance at a fee of N1.5 million.
Ikechukwu claimed during a chat with Daddy Freeze that this was the practice at Mo Hits because D’Banj’s mother was the key decision maker.
The rapper said the ‘koko master’ used to treat him like he was doing him a favour. He added that D’banj later increased the payment to N150,000 after obtaining permission from his mother.
Ikechukwu said; “When we used to go on the road, dem go pay Banga money, Banga go do like say e dey do me favour, him go give me N50k, back then I used to book like N1.5m, N1m, N2m.
He increased it one time after we don fight, he increase am say ‘e talk to mummy, we go increase am to N150k’. Mummy is D’banj’s mum, she was part of the record label spiritually. Ask Don Jazzy, dem no dey make decisions without momsi giving the okay for a very long time.”
