OJB calls out D’banj in new intervew, says celebs used his donation as competition
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, 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 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 publicise it, we
didn’t take photos with them, because
I felt that was unnecessary.”
