Fast-rising
singer Saeon and Wizkid have been at loggerheads over the latter’s refusal to
help promote her song which she featured him in. She also confirmed that she
paid Wizkid N1.5m on the said song titled Boogie Down.
Well, in his defense, Wizkid made some remarks about Saeon which her ex
manager, Alex Adegbenro is not happy aboutt and he has granted an interview to
set the records straight.
In an interview on UDR Radio NYC, he said:
‘Contrary to Wizkid’s claims, Saeon at no point made any contact with the kid, until I set up a first meet up. It’s funny when he said she slept in front of his house to beg him, I feel that’s a figure of speech and I feel it’s still wrong for him to say that.
She never had his
contact, he also forgot that he started the same way, sleeping at OJB’s studio
crying after M.I and so on. As a matter of fact, myself and his manger were the
ones discussing, his manger, Godwin Tom gave us a fee, we disagreed with the
fee and told him what we could afford was N1.5 m and then he came back to us
and said they’ll take it.
Here’s what I think,
Wizkid has contradicted himself already, he’s either not a thinker, or he has
consumed himself with so much pride. Why would she pay you and then beg you.
The irony of it all was that Saeon didn’t actually want to record with Wizkid,
after paying, it took about a month to record the song because he was
travelling a lot for shows.’
She wanted to use the
money in putting out an EP, but when Wizkid got back, we pressed on getting the
job done because he had been paid, now I’m not saying he was obligated to tweet
about the song because I think that’s what started the whole thing, but coming
from someone who was adamant about us shooting a music video so he could
benefit from it.
‘And the one that got
me was when he said he was going to beat her up. Saeon didn’t even get to meet
him or talk to him until the day they recorded together in the studio.
And I remember he
gave us a list of producers he could work with, he said it was either, Samklef,
Sarz or Maleek Berry and we picked Sarz and then when he heard the beat Sarz
made, he didn’t like it, so he called Sarz and was like ‘dude, you know my new
sound, why do you keep making beats like this.
So we went back the
second time and Maleek Berry just laced a beat and the song happened like a
freestyle. I’m just a bit disappointed in him, I personally think the part of
his statement where he said he would beat up Saeon shouldn’t be left alone.
Well, if you look at it on the bright side, I think this whole thing has helped
Saeon.’
