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.
"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."
