Konga slams Don Jazzy for not admitting he introduced him to Wande Coal

Lawal Olalekan Olumo, a Nigerian singer better known as Konga, is at odds with Don Jazzy.

Konga took to Instagram to vent his annoyance over Don Jazzy’s interview with Adesope Olajide, a broadcaster.

In the interview, Don Jazzy spoke of discovering Wande Coal at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) years ago.

“Wande is a genius and an amazing vocalist we found in UNILAG. We went to a show. He and a couple of guys entertained us behind the stage. We exchanged numbers. Next, he came to the house. The rest is history,” he said.

Wande Coal got signed to Don Jazzy and D’Banj’s Mo Hit Records in 2006.

In 2012, following a fallout between record Don Jazzy and D’banj, Coal signed on to Don Jazzy’s new Record Label Mavin Records but left in 2013.

Konga, in his post, attacked Don Jazzy for failing to credit him for linking him up with Wande Coal in UNILAG.

“I did what I did to help WC being a young talented student of UNILAG to achieve his dreams, which I knew will definitely uplift Mohit Records to attain another level in the entertainment industry as at then,” Konga wrote.

“And having him on Mohit record actually boosted their brand in all ramification, so after 17yrs of no compensation nor gratitude from your record label, this what I get in return from @donjazzy.

“With all due respect @wandecoal please remind your ex Oga how I left my event to go search for you inside Unilag campus “Spot Center” and then brought you backstage and introduced you.

“[I also asked] you to sing “Ololufe” for @donjazzy and @iambangalee. At the same show, I was paid to perform alongside @dbanj haha. So quick for people to forget a life-changing event as such.

“This has been happening in the entertainment industry, where a fellow artist will not want to give his or her colleague credit. I won’t take this ingratitude and disrespect until you correct yourself by doing the necessary.”

In his conversation with Adesope, Don Jazzy had admitted that Wande Coal’s exit from Mavin Records hurt him.

“Every separation hurts, amicable or not. You have to go and start building again. The Wande exit hurt more because I came out to tweet stuff. My fans are still upset with me for that till today,” the record label boss said.
