Nigerian musician Okafor Uchenna Victor, better known by his stage name Mr Real, has criticized Mr. Eazi and D’banj for allegedly having debt.
Speaking on the most recent edition of the Terms & Conditions podcast, Mr. Real stated that he has not yet received payment from D’banj and Mr. Eazi for their respective collaborations on the tracks “Issa Banger” and “Overload.”
He said that neither of them ever returned his calls or messages.
“I have a song with D’banj. I was the one that brought my producer, Cracker and Slimcase, on board, and we made that song [‘Issa Banger’]. The song blew. And we shot the video with love and all. I’m not saying I’m being ungrateful for what you’ve done. But give me what is rightly mine. It’s my right.
“The song is being used in movies, even American movies, and I haven’t received any royalty,” he lamented.
Mr Real added: “When we recorded ‘Overload,’ there was no contract. There is no split sheet. He [Mr Eazi] didn’t give me anything. Till today, there is nothing.
“And the truth is that these people [my colleagues] know what they are doing. The same Mr Eazi called me for another feature with Legendury Beatz. The two features he called me for, I didn’t waste time before sending my vocals to him. There is this saying that when you do a favour, you don’t expect them to do something in return. Omo, me I dey expect o. When I do you a favour, I expect you to render same to me.
“We also need their kind of money. We want to live the Island life too. You guys should help us. I’m not calling you out for anything but you should know you’re supposed to do this. I know if I message you, you won’t answer me. If I call D’banj, he no dey pick my call. Mr Eazi no dey pick my call.”
