Nigerian singer Abdulrasheed Bello, professionally known as JJC Skillz, has publicly accused Don Jazzy and D’banj of conspiring against him during their early careers in the UK.
In a recent interview with Echo Room, JJC claimed that despite providing support, feeding, clothing, and taking the duo to shows, they betrayed him. He alleged that the artists, along with others including Ayo and DJ Abass, had secret plans he was unaware of.
JJC said he first met Don Jazzy and D’banj through mutual contacts while they were running a TV station in the UK. “One day I came to them and said, ‘You guys are obviously well connected to Nigeria, and me, I am a JJC. I just need somebody to introduce me to the right people to work with in Nigeria.’ And they accepted that they were going to help me and they connected me to Bankulli,” he explained.
The singer recalled being shocked when he learned from Ruggedman that D’banj had accused him of cheating them while they were working under his guidance in the UK. “Nobody knew them back then. I was the one taking them to shows, accommodating, feeding and clothing them. So, how can I be cheating when you haven’t made any money?” he said.
As of now, Don Jazzy, D’banj, and the other individuals mentioned have not responded to JJC Skillz’s allegations, which have sparked significant discussion among fans and industry observers.
