I Discovered Him, Not Banky W- OJB Speaks

Saturday, August 22, 2015 0
Music producer, OJB during a chat with Saturday 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.
