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."
