Wizkid
is the latest star to mourn the late producer, OJB Jezreel,calling him
his mentor and hero. OJB has been credited with discovering Wizkid way
before Banky W signed him.In 2015, he said this about Wiz
“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.
