Producer, OJB Jezreel has decided to set the records straight regarding
who discovered Wizkid.In a recent interview,OJB said he hadn’t spoken
about it before now because he is too old to be blowing his own trumpet
at 50. The beat maker said that he went to Wizkid’s family house to
convince his parents to allow him pursue his music career.
“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,” he said.
OJB said 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.
