Nigerian comedian Adedayo Martin, popularly known as Deeone, has criticized music mogul Michael Collins Ajereh, also known as Don Jazzy, for his response to skitmaker Oluwadolarz’s claim about a gay entertainer in the entertainment industry.
Recently, Oluwadolarz, whose real name is Olamide Ogunleye, shared a post online revealing that he was asked to sleep with a man in exchange for having his music promoted and topping the charts.
Shortly after, Don Jazzy responded to the skitmaker’s claim daring him to mention the music executive, who wanted to get down with him.
Following the viral response from Don Jazzy on social media, Deeone publicly questioned the Mavin Records boss. In an Instagram video, Deeone questioned Don Jazzy for attempting to downplay Oluwadolarz’s claims. He noted that this is the first time the music mogul has tried to silence someone online.
Deeone remarked that Don Jazzy is known for supporting and promoting others’ talents, making it unusual for him to respond to Oluwadolarz’s post, especially since it did not directly reference him.
He said, “Don Jazzy, this is the first time in your history of social media wey you go talk down or try silence person and to be honest I’m wondering why. Oluwadolarz came out say him wan do song, person tell am say until you bend your yansh. Normally we know you Don Jazzy, na only to promote people, you dey always dey do good good online, you’re a good person to the public. So my question now is, why are you trying to silence or talk down on somebody’s truth? Do you want to say now that Oluwadolarz is chasing clout? Na small small people’s character go dey come out. This is a man that he dey give, the public dey respect and like him for that. Why are you trying to make it look as if this guy’s talk no valid? If na you, you go like am? Make we leave sentiments, Nigerians think. This matter, for the first time, Don Jazzy said ‘if e no fit mention name, then it is a lie’, that is never the kind of thing Don Jazzy will say, never!”
“Oluwadolarz has been doing skits for how many years, most young people know the boy so we can’t say he’s chasing clout. But he’s leaving skits and comedy, he’s going into music, that is another terrain so it is possible. Or Don Jazzy are you saying you don’t know people lure or force other guys in the industry? If you do something, maybe you like man, that’s your personal business but don’t make it a criteria. It’s the same as when a lecturer says ‘if you sleep with me o, you go pass’, that’s what this boy is complaining about. But why is Don Jazzy silencing this boy? Dem dey try intimidate the boy, that’s the way the industry is? Why are you trying to say that boy is lying? Na small small you go dey know people’s character. You can fool a lot of people, you can’t fool all of us. Some of us in this country have sense. Na this same industry wey we dey wey one gospel artist ask me out, one popular comedian can bear me witness because I showed him the message, na through am I meet the man.”
