Rapper Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu a.k.a Odumodublvck, said singer, producer and music executive Don Jazzy is the King of Afrobeats based on his creations and originality in the genre.
Odumodublvck who was speaking a recent interview on Beat 97.9FM, said all other Afrobeats acts look up to him.
“Don Jazzy is the king of Afrobeats,” said the rapper.
“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.
Odumodublvck said his wish for a collabo with the music guru turned out to financially rewarding for him.
“…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, he stated.
