Music artiste/Producer, OJB Jezreel, has set the records straight
regarding who discovered and mentored Wizkid. He told Saturday Beats in a
new interview that he was the one who kick-started Wizkid’s career.
Read excerpts below:
“To set the records, I discovered Wizkid’s talent. We
basically started his career and I remember when we had to push Wizkid
around and take him for shows but nobody was ready to allow him to
perform because they were not ‘feeling’ him at that point in time. When
he had the chance and said he wanted to move on and try other things, we
were behind him then too. If we did not discover him, he would not have
been with us. I was the first person to go to his family house to tell
them that it would be a nice idea if they allowed him to go into music.
We have been there from day one but not everybody know this story, we
don’t just make noise about it. It is not Banky W that discovered him, I
did. I would soon be 50 years old and I think it would be funny if I
start blowing my trumpet.”
OJB told Saturday Beats that he has no regrets when it comes to Wizkid because he pushed his career as far as he could.
“There are some artistes that if you spend millions of
naira on them, they would not be impactful until they cross borders.
Take Harrysongs for example, millions was spent on him but nothing
happened till he crossed over to Five Star Entertainment. There is no
how Harrysongs would say that Questionmark record label was not a
blessing to his life. Sometimes, these things happen like that and I
think it is destiny,” he said.
