Odumodublvck, a Nigerian rapper, has given insights into the generosity of top music producer Don Jazzy. According to the rapper, Jazzy gifted him $10,000 at one of their meetings.
In a recent interview on Beat 97.9FM, the rapper said that he had approached Don Jazzy to collaborate on his song ‘Asampete’.
The 31-year-old stated that he believed the music producer’s voice were necessary to finish the track.
Odumodublvck stated that during his visit to Don Jazzy’s home, he was handed the money and promised that he could retain all profits from the song.
He further stated that Don Jazzy offered to be featured as an artist on the the song.
“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, he stated.
