During an interview with
Inspiration FM’s Gloria Maduka post surgery, veteran music producer OJB
Jezreel addressed controversy surrounding his donations, said celebs
used it as competition and calls out Dbanj. Here’s why he’s unhappy with
D’banj. During his fund raiser many months back, there were rumours
that D’banj gave his former music producer N7m, a report that D’banj
didn’t deny. OJB says D’banj didn’t give him a dime and was upset that
he didn’t try to set the record straight
“The most disappointing one for me is D’banj because he
passed through my hands, he was trained under my tutelage. That is
offensive. I don’t care if you’re with Kanye West, you can’t forget your
root. I won’t call anybody else’s name but I will call his because it
hurts. His own hurts very deep. And he never tried to reach out to me.
It’s not like we parted on fighting terms. He told me he had to go to
London and he went. And when he came back it was Don Jazzy, and I said
OK, that’s fine. And what he did worked and I’m very proud of him, the
love I had for him, that’s why it hurts more. He should have come out to
say no, I don’t know why you people are saying all this, I didn’t give
OJB N7million, maybe a part of him felt embarrassed because at the end
of the day, really, are you not supposed to do something?” OJB says
during the interview
He also talked about how people used his fund raiser as competition and once again addresses the bounced cheques. Continue….
“When P-Square gave me N5million cheque, everybody
started treating it as a competition. They were like, they brought N5m, I
want to show that I can do more, or equal it. So they will come to my
house, some will drop N2m, N1m, you say thank you, they take pictures
and go away. Then you drop the cheque in your account and you see that
almost N4/5million is being returned back to you that it didn’t clear.
You call them and tell them and they tell you they are coming but they
haven’t picked the cheques till now.
“The shocking ones are not even the bounced cheques. It’s
the ones that when they are coming to meet you in the house to give you
money, they come with a whole camera crew. Then they will say I’m
donating one million naira to you and the cameras start recording and
maybe the guy’s tape stops, and he says let’s take that again (Laughs).
“There were people in my dialysis that I gave N100k each
to pay for their dialysis, we didn’t publicize it, we didn’t take photos
with them, because I felt that was unnecessary.”
