Music producer, OJB during a chat with Beats for the first time disclosed he discovered young act, Wizkid and not Banky W like many
people have been made to believe.
He says he thinks it will be funny that
at almost 50 he will be caught in an
argument that has to do with something
like that, but he actually discovered him
and has no regret doing that.
“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 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.
