Sources have revealed
that
controversial Nigerian actress, Tonto Dikeh, has
been signed by D'banj to his recording outfit DB
Records.
The deal had previously been speculated earlier
this week, after Tonto was photographed with the
entire DB Records crew, in what seemed like a
get-together of some sort.
Tonto who has achieved remarkable success in
Nollywood over the years, had taken the leap into
music production, recording, and publishing, but a
majority of her songs such as 'Hi', 'Jeje', and a few
more, have received negative and, for the most
part, malicious feedback from the Nigerian public.
Pulse.ng also gathered that along with Tonto Dikeh,
DB Records also have added 2 brothers, 2Kriss ,
who have inked a deal to join the record label.
2Kriss are a collaboration of two brothers with
versatile musical productions ranging from Hiphop
to Afro-Pop. They previously were signed onto
Bigboyz Ent, but with their crossover to DB
Records, their career can only get bigger.
With speculations and unconfirmed rumours
circulating about the Tonto Dikeh deal, there have
been mixed reactions to the move. Many are of the
opinion that Tonto was not recruited for her
musical dexterity, but as a PR stunt to add a
certain allure and spotlight on DB Records. Also, it
is public knowledge that D'banj and Tonto Dikeh
are friends, and the new deal is just a step forward
in what has been a good relationship.
Tonto Dikeh on paper, stands to gain a fairly good
number of advantages, as she will now have
unfettered access to the production abilities of
2Kriss and DeeVee, as well as the mentorship of
D'banj and Kay Switch, while also benefiting from
the 'musical' atmosphere that exist in organized
record labels.
