Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has shared an unforgettable moment from his career. Speaking during an interview on Beat 97.9FM, the rapper revealed how iconic music producer Don Jazzy supported him when they first met for a collaboration.
According to Odumodublvck, he visited Don Jazzy’s residence to discuss a song project. During the visit, Don Jazzy surprised him with $10,000. What’s more, Don Jazzy told him he could keep all the royalties from their upcoming song.
The rapper also shared that Don Jazzy offered to feature as an artist on the track, a gesture that showcased his willingness to uplift younger talents.
Odumodublvck expressed his gratitude, calling the experience an inspiring example of how established stars can support upcoming musicians. This story has since resonated with fans and serves as a reminder of Don Jazzy’s generosity and dedication to the music industry.
“Don Jazzy is the king of Afrobeats. But ask anybody there is nobody who is more original than Don Jazzy. Don Jazzy is an OG. Respect to my brothers Burna, Wiz, Olamide, Dave all of us used to look up to him. Like the way we used to look up to them — Wizkid and David, they used to look up to him,” he said.
“…I just hit him up. The first day we did ‘Asampere’, I recorded a vocal that sounded like Don Jazzy’s vocal and I was like Don Jazzy should do it.
“When I went to meet him, he gave me a lot of money. I have to put it out there. I tell them everywhere I go. He gave me $10,000 cash. Don no be for mouth. He still gave me vocals.
“He now told me that I can keep all the royalties and I can keep him as a featured artiste. That day, they still cooked food for me to eat. They gave me turkey. The line for ‘turkey’ was already put in the song and that was God.”
