Adegbenro, Saeon’s former manager who resides in the UK has reacted to wizkid’s
statement about beating up his former artiste and said that the statement shouldn't
be left alone. According to Alex, Saeon never met Wizkid until the exact day
they recorded the song and he was the one getting in contact with Wizkid’s
manager, Godwin Tom, and not Saeon. Alex
didn’t defend Saeon per say, but narrated what he calls the truth of it all in
a radio interview with Chi Chi. His words;
‘I can’t
really say much as well, I recently started getting calls from people too
asking me what’s going on between Saeon and Wizkid, so I decided to go online
to get myself informed as well, and lo and behold I found a video of Wizkid
talking about Samklef and Saeon. Contrary to Wizkid’s claims, Saeon at no point
made any contact with the kid, until I set up a first meet up. Continue..
‘It’s funny
when he said she slept in front of his house to beg him, I feel that’s a figure
of speech and I feel it’s still wrong for him to say that. She never had his
contact, he also forgot that he started the same way, sleeping at OJB’s studio
crying after M.I and so on. As a matter of fact, myself and his manger were the
ones discussing, his manger, Godwin Tom gave us a fee, we disagreed with the
fee and told him what we could afford was N1.5 million and then he came back to
us and said they’ll take it.
‘Here’s what
I think, Wizkid has contradicted himself already, he’s either not a thinker, or
he has consumed himself with so much pride. Why would she pay you and then beg
you. The irony of it all was that Saeon didn’t actually want to record with
Wizkid, after paying, it took about a month to record the song because he was
travelling a lot for shows.
‘She wanted
to use the money in putting out an EP, but when Wizkid got back, we pressed on
getting the job done because he had been paid, now I’m not saying he was
obligated to tweet about the song because I think that’s what started the whole
thing, but coming from someone who was adamant about us shooting a music video
so he could benefit from it.
‘And the one
that got me was when he said he was going to beat her up. Saeon didn’t even get
to meet him or talk to him until the day they recorded together in the studio.
And I remember he gave us a list of producers he could work with, he said it
was either, Samklef, Sarz or Maleek Berry and we picked Sarz and then when he
heard the beat Sarz made, he didn’t like it, so he called Sarz and was like
‘dude, you know my new sound, why do you keep making beats like this.’
So we
went back the second time and Maleek Berry just laced a beat and the song
happened like a freestyle. I’m just a bit disappointed in him, I personally
think the part of his statement where he said he would beat up Saeon shouldn’t
be left alone.
