Despite losing respect for his colleague, he maintained that he still loves and admires D-Black.

‎Speaking in a recent media interview, Joey B stated that his relationship with D-Black was now cordial and failed to give further detail about the issue that caused their once admirable friendship.

‎“D-Black did something recently that made me lose some respect for him. I can’t even say it, but I still love him. Our relationship now is more like just cordial. When we see each other, we just exchange pleasantries,” he said.

‎The “Tonga” hitmaker suggested that D-Black was fully aware of the incident and the impact it had on their relationship.

‎“I know he definitely knows why, but it’s all good. Something happened between both of us, and it’s music-related. I respect him regardless, and I’ve also understood what forgiveness is, so I’ve moved past that,” he stated.

‎Joey B said he had forgiven D-Black and has no intention of holding on to bitterness but stressed the need for people to be accountable for actions that hurt others.
