Popular producer cum musician Don Jazzy has been lambasted by fellow musician, Konga: “Don Jazzy and D’banj had just come back to Nigeria and were dominating the music industry when I introduced Wande Coal to them.”
“Two things were in my mind, either I take Wande Coal as my backup artiste so that I can help him achieve his goals. Or I could give him to D’banj and Don Jazzy because they actually needed a backup artiste. I didn’t need a backup artiste.”
“I wanted to keep Wande Coal to myself but I thought it would be selfish of me and he would shine more with Dbanj and Don Jazzy. And so I took Wande Coal to Don Jazzy as he was about going on stage and asked Wande Coal to sing.”
“After one or two verses of ‘Ololufe’ Don Jazzy asked Wande Coal to call him. Fifteen years after, neither Don Jazzy, D’banj or Wande Coal himself has picked up their phones to say ‘Thank you.”
“If not for anything Don Jazzy owes me one. Although I haven’t asked Dbanj for anything yet. But I asked Don Jazzy and Wande Coal for a favour and they turned me down. It is not fair. That is not how life should be. I brought a lot of youngsters to the game and I made hits all by myself. We should be good to one another.”
