Deeone, a Nigerian comedian, has openly criticised music mogul Michael Collins Ajereh, also known as Don Jazzy, for his reaction to skitmaker Oluwadolarzās worrisome accusations against unknown music executive.
Oluwadolarz recently turned to social media, saying he was coerced to do sexual activities with a guy in return for music promotion and chart success.
Don Jazzyās answer, which challenged Oluwadolarz to identify the purported promoter, sparked a heated internet debate.
In an Instagram video, Deeone questioned Don Jazzyās motivations, claiming that it was rare for the Mavin Records founder to address claims that did not directly involve him.
āDon Jazzy, this is the first time in your history of social media wey you go talk down or try silence person and to be honest Iām wondering why. Oluwadolarz came out say him wan do song, person tell am say until you bend your yansh. Normally we know you Don Jazzy, na only to promote people, you dey always dey do good good online, youāre a good person to the public. So my question now is, why are you trying to silence or talk down on somebodyās truth? Do you want to say now that Oluwadolarz is chasing clout? Na small small peopleās character go dey come out. This is a man that he dey give, the public dey respect and like him for that. Why are you trying to make it look as if this guyās talk no valid? If na you, you go like am? Make we leave sentiments, Nigerians think. This matter, for the first time, Don Jazzy said āif e no fit mention name, then it is a lieā, that is never the kind of thing Don Jazzy will say, never!,ā Deeone said.
The comedian went on to compare Oluwadolarzās experience to that of university students who encounter pressure from lecturers for academic favors.
He implied that such intimidation exists in the music industry and emphasized that not everyone can be deceived.
Deeone also recounted his own encounter with a popular gospel artist who allegedly asked him to be his girlfriend.
He argued that Oluwadolarz is a well-known figure in comedy and cannot simply be dismissed as seeking attention.
āOluwadolarz has been doing skits for how many years, most young people know the boy so we canāt say heās chasing clout. But heās leaving skits and comedy, heās going into music, that is another terrain so it is possible. Or Don Jazzy are you saying you donāt know people lure or force other guys in the industry? If you do something, maybe you like man, thatās your personal business but donāt make it a criteria. Itās the same as when a lecturer says āif you sleep with me o, you go passā, thatās what this boy is complaining about. But why is Don Jazzy silencing this boy? Dem dey try intimidate the boy, thatās the way the industry is? Why are you trying to say that boy is lying? Na small small you go dey know peopleās character. You can fool a lot of people, you canāt fool all of us. Some of us in this country have sense. Na this same industry wey we dey wey one gospel artist ask me out, one popular comedian can bear me witness because I showed him the message, na through am I meet the man.ā
āIf Oluwadolarz bring out evidence una go like am? Una for this industry can use una influence anyhow. Leave the boy let him say what he wants. Okay if he wants to chase clout, leave him, why are you silencing him? Nigerians, we need to ask some questions. Na money dey cause all these things. At the end of the day, it will get to a level where even money canāt hide peopleās character,ā Deeone added.
