JJC admitted that he leaned on them for their Nigerian connections, asking for introductions to the right people. Instead, he claims a different script was being written in the shadows.
One of the most emotional points of the revelation was JJC’s response to allegations that he was "cheating" his proteges.
He revealed that D’banj allegedly told others that JJC was not paying them fairly.
However, JJC dismissed these claims with a heavy heart, questioning how he could cheat people who weren't even making money yet.
“Nobody knows you, bro. I take you to shows, buy your clothes, food, you even live in my house and I take you everywhere. How can I be cheating you when you haven’t made any money?” JJC stated
The singer pointed fingers at Ayo and DJ Abass. He suggested that while he was focused on building the music, the veterans had hidden agendas.
While Don Jazzy was recording and D’banj was securing deals, JJC stated he was being isolated from the very network he helped sustain.
