The Nigerian musician Odumodublvck has described how music producer Don Jazzy gifted him $10,000.
The rapper, whose true name is Tochukwu Ojogwu, recently appeared on Beat 97.9FM and claimed to have contacted Don Jazzy about working with him on his song “Asampete.”
According to the 31-year-old, the song couldn’t be finished without the music producer’s vocals.
Odumodublvck said that he was given the money and informed that he could keep all of the song’s royalties when he visited Don Jazzy’s home.
Don Jazzy even offered to appear on the song as an artist; he continued.
“Don Jazzy is the king of Afrobeats. But ask anybody there is nobody who is more original than Don Jazzy. Don Jazzy is an OG. Respect to my brothers Burna, Wiz, Olamide, Dave all of us used to look up to him. Like the way we used to look up to them — Wizkid and David, they used to look up to him,” he said.
“…I just hit him up. The first day we did ‘Asampere’, I recorded a vocal that sounded like Don Jazzy’s vocal and I was like Don Jazzy should do it.
“When I went to meet him, he gave me a lot of money. I have to put it out there. I tell them everywhere I go. He gave me $10,000 cash. Don no be for mouth. He still gave me vocals.
“He now told me that I can keep all the royalties and I can keep him as a featured artiste. That day, they still cooked food for me to eat. They gave me turkey. The line for ‘turkey’ was already put in the song and that was God.”
