Popular Nigerian singer and Record label owner, David Adeleke, aka Davido, has caused reactions on social media after he snubbed veteran producer and singer-cum-music executive, Don Jazzy, in his list of contemporary Nigerian music legends.
He, however, mentioned Don Jazzy’s former partner at Mo’hit Records, D’banj, in his list of Nigerian music industry’s legends, otherwise known as “OGs”.
Davido dropped the list while appearing on the latest episode of Bootleg Kev audiovisual podcast.
When asked about the pioneers of modern Nigerian music, he said, “Definitely D’banj. He was one of the artists I saw while growing up. D’banj, 2Face…So, the big 3 then were D’banj, 2Face, and there was a group of twins called P-Square. Those were our OGs. They were the people that made this thing possible.”
