• DJ Jimmy Jatt opens up on losing eyesight, kidney disease diagnosis

Nigerian disc jockey Oluwaforijimi Adewale Amu, popularly known as DJ Jimmy Jatt, has opened up about his health challenges in a candid interview on Channels TV’s Rubbin’ Minds, hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

The 58-year-old Lagos Island-born DJ revealed that he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease following a series of health issues, including the need for eye surgery to restore his vision.

Sharing his journey, DJ Jimmy Jatt explained that his health challenges began after he decided to explore the world, having spent most of his life in Lagos.

In his words: “Maybe I caused it myself because, in 2019, I decided to spend more time outside Nigeria. I had lived all my life in Lagos and wanted to explore other parts of the world—Europe, America, everywhere. But in 2020, I started experiencing health issues. Due to the travel restrictions at the time, I remained in Nigeria. I lost my sight and had to undergo surgery to regain it.”

After recovering from his eye surgery, he resumed his plan to live abroad and relocated to the U.S. There, he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and began dialysis treatment. DJ Jimmy Jatt later returned to Nigeria for a kidney transplant, following which he took time off to recover fully.

Despite these challenges, the veteran DJ continued his passion for music, performing across America and Europe. He eventually returned to Nigeria in December after deciding it was time to come home.

Jimmy Jatt clarified that his kidney disease was not linked to lifestyle choices.
“I’ve never smoked and had long stopped drinking alcohol,” he stated, dispelling any misconceptions about the cause of his condition.

The legendary DJ’s resilience and determination remain an inspiration as he navigates his health journey while continuing to impact the music industry.

Watch him speak below:

Oluwaforijimi Amu, well known by his stage as DJ Jimmy Jatt, has disclosed that he recently underwent kidney surgery.

The OG-DJ, who is renowned for his longevity and significant contributions to the Nigerian music business, revealed shockingly on September 16, 2022, that he has battled kidney disease and even undergone a transplant.

The DJ shared with his fans his experience receiving treatment and a transplant at the Zenith Medical and Kidney Centre, Abuja, in a video broadcast on social media.

Many of his admirers were shocked by his disclosure because they had no idea that the seasoned DJ was dealing with such a health issue.

According to the DJ, Wednesday, September 16th, 2022, makes it six months since he had the transplant, which was done in Lagos, Nigeria, after choosing to come down from the United States, where his family is.

In the shared video, Uncle Jimmy, as he is popularly called, expressed his gratitude to God for granting him a second chance and also thanked “Zenith Medical and Kidney Centre”, the hospital where he had the successful transplant.

DJ Jimmy Jatt also went on to state that he has chosen to become an ambassador for Kidney Transplant to ensure that the public is given proper knowledge about it.

In the long post, he wrote:

My father used the difference between cars & humans to teach me a lesson in humility.

If you broke cars down, you would find a difference in horse power, number of plugs & exhausts, gear systems etc but dissecting any two humans would reveal the same 206 bones, 1 heart, 2 kidneys, 1 skull..etc.

So pomposity makes no sense & that has been my creed all my life. We are all the same.

But this experience has reinforced the fact that we all also do share the frailty of life in common. No one is promised tomorrow.

A very successful kidney transplant (exactly 6months today) has futher deepened my appreciation for life’s most important things & gratitude to God.

My gratitude joyfully extends to the management and staff of @zenithmedicalandkidneycentre for the most professional execution of the surgery. The warmth and reassurance of the entire team was immeasurable

I cannot imagine pulling through this without my angels. My wife, my daughters, I love you beyond any words say. And to my siblings, where do I begin to thank you.

My friends for an amazing support system.

To anyone battling kidney disease, this is not the end and to all donors & care givers. Keep staying God sent.

To fans and business partners, DJ Jimmy Jatt has never been cooler! Hop on, the ride continues.

Recall that Jimmy Jatt, who is currently based in the United States of America, is the second celebrity to go public about their kidney-related illness in recent times. Popular rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem, had announced some months ago that his wife had graciously donated her kidney to him.

Akpako Master, Terry G has opened up on his rumoured beef with popular Disc Jockey, DJ Jimmy Jatt.

The singer was interviewed by PUNCHNG where he opened up about his career, personal life and relationship with other entertainers.

He asked about the 2016 beef he had with DJ Jimmy Jatt over an issue between him and Jimmy Jatt’s worker.

The singer in response revealed that they resolved their beef and he apologized, stating that bad news spreads faster than good ones.

In his words;

“It was actually settled the next day because I went to DJ Jimmy Jatt’s house. It’s just bad news always goes farther than good news. I actually apologised then.

The DJ in question did some things that I felt were not professional. If I had left that place in shame, it would not have gone well, considering what people know Terry G for. It would not have been good for my image.

It (my not leaving the stage when necessary) was a mistake but he (the DJ) should not have done what he did (playing another song which meant I should leave the stage). Telling me to ‘take it outside’ was an insult to me. That was what caused the issue between me and the DJ.”

The early to mid 2000s were a good period for the Hip Hop community in Nigeria as a number of Nigerian rap songs came out and went mainstream.

Over the years, Nigerian hip-hop has gone through multiple periods with various actors and notable scenes.

Rap in Nigeria has advanced considerably. There have been songs that have changed the music industry, expanded its boundaries, and set new guidelines for rappers to follow. T

The music genre is more than just spitting out words after lines; it’s about recognizing the environment, identifying the needs of the audience, and meeting those needs.

The reason many rappers were such big hits back then was because of the energy they put into their songs.

The majority of them were anthems that people repeatedly sang and recited. Regrettably, the values that rap ought to promote have been losing ground in Nigeria.

The Nigerian music scene has been overshadowed by a growing love of Afrobeat and its many children sending rap into the background.

However, many millennials would remember some of these songs that at one point dominated the airwaves during the 2000s.

Cry – Mode 9 (2007)

Mode 9 is considered as the leading pioneer of hip-hop music in Nigeria after earning the prestigious Lyricist on the Roll award multiple times. Cry was one of the tracks that solidified his position on the A-list.

The song, which was taken from Mode 9‘s 2007 album E’ Pluribus Unum, features beautiful singing by Nnenna and powerful lyrics by Mode 9.

It gained widespread critical praise and topped charts across Africa, winning three Channel O music awards for hip-hop, among others. The hip-hop music culture in Nigeria still finds Mode 9′s Cry to be relevant many years later.

Baraje- Ruggedman

Released in 2005, from Ruggedman’s ‘Thy Album Come‘ project, Baraje was that song that was played in parties and clubs. Ruggedman was able to tell the truth even though the song was composed with upbeat music when he said:

“Get crazy when u hear this instrumental, and most definitely, my voice is fundamental. Na the essential ingredient wey dey make my people dem no want 2 see the end. I’m bad more than that…stay forever like culture. You better make a move cos I dey watch u like vulture.”

This song was a real blend of rap and club music from one of Nigeria’s top rap innovators.

Too Much – DJ Jimmy Jatt ft Blaise, Sasha P, Bouqui, Kemistry (2007)

The fact that there aren’t many female rappers in the music industry motivated the legendary DJ Jimmy Jatt to record a song with some of the established female rappers at that time.

In light of social norms, this song promoted the authority of a woman in a field dominated by men. When it was released in 2007, the song served as a platform for female rap artists to showcase their skills and lyrical prowess.

No be God (2008) – Gino

In this song, Gino discusses his difficulties and his unwavering faith that one day, his Creator will intervene and save him from his plight. Those on the bottom rung of the social ladder might readily relate to the song since it is pure motivation.

Anoti – M.I (2008)

M.I Abaga, hailed as one of the best lyricists in Nigeria, released Anoti from his first studio album, Talk About It, in 2008.

This song helped pave the way for the rise of other popular songs during a time when rap was popular in Nigeria.

Produced by Jesse Jagz and M.I, the song’s lyrics displayed the rapper’s boastful reputation as a shrewd poet and his aptitude for delivering punchlines through methodical rhymes.

As the days go by, people are beginning to realize the power of social media and in the last decade, the use of social media has revolutionized the way the public consumes music.

Here are the Nigerian Artists who got signed after making a cover of a song

Mayorkun

Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, also known as Mayorkun, got his big break in the music industry when he was signed to Davido’s record label, DMW, years ago.

Many people are unaware that the ‘Mama‘ singer was a ‘Instagram artiste,’ recording covers of popular songs whenever he pleased.

Good fortune came his way when he chose to create a cover of Davido’s smash song ‘The Money,’ which featured Olamide. OBO was apparently impressed by his efforts, as he contacted him and signed him as one of his first artists on the same day as Dremo.

In 2016, and 2018, the singer won multiple honours, including the Headies’ ‘Rookie of the Year’ and ‘Next Rated’ awards.

Rema

Prior to his stardom, Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, was an underground artist who began making music in his secondary school days.

His big break occurred in 2018 when his cover of D’Prince’s song “Gucci Gang,” which he put on Instagram, went viral.

D Prince saw the video and flew him to Lagos to give him a record deal, subsequently signing him to his label, Jonzing Record, a Mavin Records subsidiary.

Just before his public debut, the boy had been with the record label for about a year, undergoing training that would prepare him for a successful career and stardom.

Even after landing a deal and becoming famous, Rema’s culture or practice of freestyling in his vehicle has continued.

Joeboy

Joeboy’s music career began when he was 16 years old, and he released his first track, Gbeseyin, an Afrobeat song, the following year.

In 2017, he recorded a rendition of Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You, which went viral in Nigeria and around the world.

Mr Eazi discovered Joeboy’s incredible vocals and made him the first musician to get support from his music philanthropic initiative, emPawa Africa.

Joeboy recorded a song called “Faaji” with the support of emPawa Africa and Mr Eazi, which did well, but it was his 2019 love song “Baby” that catapulted him to mainstream popularity.

Both artists are now at the peak of their game and have released a collaborative album. However, if you go back to the commencement of all their good deeds, ‘Ghost mode’ is the single that marked the passage of time and set Phyno on the way to glory.

Phyno released “Ghost mode” off his “No Guts No Glory” album, which is a blend of Igbo and Yoruba rap. The 4-minute track, which features Olamide, was well-liked by the public and garnered widespread broadcast not only in Nigeria but also around the world.

At the 2012 Headies Awards and the 2013 Nigeria Entertainment Awards, the song won Best Collabo. Clarence Peters shot and directed the music video.

With the rise of indigenous rappers, Reminisce, Phyno, and Olamide, who were at the forefront of the trend, stepped forth to honour the occasion. The resulting track caused a stir in the music industry, inspiring a slew of subs and shoots.

Joor remix- Jahbless, Ice Prince, Reminisce, Durella, Ruggedman & Eldee

In 2011, Jahbless put together a group of artists to make rap music. The song featured Ice Prince, Reminisce, Ruggedman, and eLDee and even Durella added a verse to the mix.

123 Remix- DJ Neptune, Dagrin, M.I Abaga, Naeto C

In 2010 DJ Neptune released the record 1,2,3 which featured M.I, Naeto C and the late Dagrin.

“123 (Remix)” was released in 2010 and was preceded by its original song from the previous year, which featured only M.I, who delivered a head-spinning verse loaded with his unique wordplay and flow.

By the time the remix was released, it had grown in importance, not only because of the additional elements but also because of the way it captured the pinnacle of Nigerian hip-hop and its limitless possibilities.

Each of the featured musicians was a well-known rapper at the time, both in terms of precision and economic value, and “123 (Remix)” provided an opportunity for them to flex alongside one another in a way that was both regal and free.

The age of Social Media has changed things for the Music Industry and has helped in the popularity of little-known Nigerian Artists.

Success and breaking into the Nigerian music industry used to be determined not by your skill or hard work, but by intermediaries such as radio stations, television stations, and record labels.

The arrival of the Internet and Social Media was a game-changer for the music industry, as middlemen were no longer the main factor of success in the industry.

Many potentials have been discovered on the internet, and many young people have decided to seize the bull by the horns by leveraging on the internet and establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian music industry, and musicians are no longer solely reliant on radio stations for song promotion.

Here are some Nigerian artists who were discovered via Social Media;

Rema

Prior to his fame, Divine Ikubor also known as Rema was an underground artist who started doing music from his secondary school days.

His big break came after he went viral in 2018 thanks to his cover for D’Prince’s song “Gucci Gang” which he posted on Instagram.

The post caught the attention of D’Prince who flew him to Lagos to offer a record deal, later signing him to his label, Jonzing Record, a subsidiary of Mavin Records.

Prior to his public debut, the boy had been with the record label for nearly a year, undergoing training that would prepare him for a successful career and stardom.

Rema’s culture or practice of freestyling in his car has persisted even after earning a deal and achieving stardom.

Mayorkun

Although his mother was a popular face in the Yoruba movie industry, the gifted singer found it difficult to break into the music industry, so he resorted to working at a bank and making songs in his spare time.

About resigning from his bank job due to inadequate salary, the artist performed a cover of Davido’s hit “The Money (feat. Olamide),” posted it on Twitter, and tagged Davido in an appeal for assistance.

Davido followed him on Twitter and Instagram, and then he asked if he could do more than just play the keyboard. He received a call from Davido on the same day he submitted his resignation letter and sent Davido some of the songs he had already recorded.

Davido made the decision to sign him to Davido Music Worldwide. In 2016, Mayorkun released his first single under the label, “Eleko.”

Davido has on various occasions admitted that signing Mayorkun has been one of his best decisions.

Terri

While a lot of people go to auditions, talent showcases, and other events in the hopes of securing a recording contract, for Terri it only took a music cover to do so.

The music star recorded himself singing DJ Jimmy Jatt’s song “Oshe” featuring Wizkid and tagged a few celebs in the video. When Wizkid saw the video, he became interested in him.

Wizkid showed Mut4y (of Legendury Beatz) the video and asked him to assist him in finding the boy, thus beginning a change in Terri’s fortunes.

His first major appearance was on Wizkid’s “Soco” in 2018.

Teni

The star act of Dr Dolor Entertainment is undeniably talented. While still in school in the United States, Teni used the Internet to build a fan following for herself.

Her Instagram was growing at the time, with her funny videos and amazing freestyles featuring her melodious voice keeping her fans glued to their screens.

She secured a recording deal with Dr. Dolor Entertainment and established solid fame with hit songs like “Case”, “Fargin”, “Uyo Meyo”, “Askamaya” e.t.c

To this day, the singer still freestyles on her social media accounts.

Joeboy

Joeboy’s music career began when he was 16 years old and the following year he dropped his first track, Gbeseyin, an Afrobeat tune.

In 2017, he recorded a cover of Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You, which received a lot of attention both in Nigeria and internationally.

Mr Eazi noticed his fantastic vocals, leading to him making Joeboy the first artist to receive sponsorship from his music philanthropic initiative, emPawa Africa.

Through the help of emPawa Africa and Mr Eazi, Joeboy released a song titled “Faaji” which did very well, however, it was his 2019 love song, “Baby” that launched him to mainstream success.
