It is no longer news that the legendary Nigerian music producer, Babatunde Jezreel Okungbowa a.k.a OJB has passed away.
The revered entertainment icon died following a prolonged battle with kidney condition.
While he was alive, OJB signed Adasounds, an Afropop artiste to his label. The light-skinned artiste released a highlife song called 50-50 under the imprint of his label.
Before his death, they were planning to release a duet titled Chinedu.
In a chat with Showtime the visibly dejected Adasounds opens up on the kind of relationship she had with the music production maestro, OJB.
“OJB was a true icon, a rare gem and at 49 going to 50, he was an untapped gold, one of the best things that ever happened to the Nigerian music sector. He was my manager; producer and mentor, he was always advising me on the right path to follow. I called him my backbone in the industry.
“He taught me to have the fear of God and never to look for help through any other means aside from the right way. We were working on a lot of projects like the birth of his foundation, OJB Next Rated competition, a carnival-like 50th birthday celebration and songs like Sampori, The Night and Chinedu were already completed. The song, Chinedu happens to be a duet done by both of us. If I am not mistaken, Chinedu was the last song he did before his death”
