Crayon, in a series of posts that have since been deleted, accused Don Jazzy of being responsible for his mother’s death and claimed the music executive owed him unpaid royalties. The drama sent shockwaves across social media, drawing reactions from fans and industry insiders alike.

Samklef took to his social media pages to share his perspective, suggesting that things have shifted for Don Jazzy since his association with social media activist VeryDarkMan.

“I tell una say jazzy go cast soon! Dem don see Don Jazzy finish crayon even call am his boy chai! Ever since Don Jazzy met a very dark man, all the signed artists no gree blow. Ayra Starr look stressed in her last video. Something is not right. Could this be karma? E remain 1 person wey, Don Jazzy chop him eye, an na that one I wan talk about, gan! Gan! And who notices say once any artist leaves me…………hmhhhhmmmm,” he wrote.

Samklef’s comments have reignited discussions about the internal dynamics at Mavin Records and the pressures faced by artists under the label, especially following high-profile departures and public disputes.

Taking to X, the producer alleged that the classic 2011 project was recorded in his studio and that he was never paid for the recording sessions at the time. According to him, the absence of a formal agreement during the production process leaves room for him to revisit the matter.

Samklef further disclosed that he is open to renegotiating the situation with Banky W, co-founder of Empire Mates Entertainment, the label that originally released the album.

“Thank God I never used my masters to collect any loan. I’m about to negotiate with Banky W since I didn’t sign any contract from the beginning. I hope the Wizkid Superstar masters were never sold,” he wrote.

He went on to make a stronger claim regarding the project’s ownership.

“I own six tracks from the masters because Banky didn’t pay for the studio sessions — and I also own the studio where all the songs were recorded.”

Despite the bold statements, it remains uncertain whether Samklef possesses any legally recognised rights to the tracks or if his position is based solely on the alleged unpaid studio work.

Released on June 12, 2011, Superstar by Wizkid is widely regarded as one of the most influential albums in modern Nigerian pop music. The project played a pivotal role in launching Wizkid’s global career and remains a landmark moment in the evolution of Afrobeats.

Afrobeats star Seun Kuti is keeping the heat on Wizkid FC, refusing to let comparisons between Wizkid and his late father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, slide.

The debate reignited during a recent Instagram live session, where Seun expressed his frustration over fans labeling Wizkid as the “New Fela” or even claiming he’s a bigger artist than Fela.

Seun reiterated his earlier stance, previously reported by Entertainment Region, describing Wizkid FC as “the most ignorant fan base in the world.”

He stressed that calling any modern musician the “new Fela” fundamentally misunderstands his father’s legacy, a legacy that, according to Seun, cannot be replicated.

The drama escalated after Nigerian producer Samklef, a member of Wizkid FC, fired back at Seun, accusing him of targeting the fan base out of personal dislike for Wizkid. Samklef even went as far as labeling Seun “Bald Head Vulture” in a pointed online attack.

But Seun stood firm, making it clear that no contemporary artist, no matter their fame, can be compared to Fela. He highlighted the enduring power of his father’s accomplishments, pointing out that Fela’s legacy still benefits him decades after his death.

“Fela’s son. Fela is still blessing me from the grave 29 years later. How many of your fathers can do that from the grave? None, because your fathers are not accomplished,” Seun said.

He used the opportunity to call out Wizkid FC directly, noting that while Wizkid and DJ Tunez enjoy the clout that comes with their association, they rarely speak up to defend Fela from disrespect.

“Wizkid and DJ Tunez are enjoying the clout, which is why they won’t come out to say, ‘Stop disrespecting Fela in my name.’”

Seun’s message was clear: his father’s legacy is untouchable, and no amount of fan hype or contemporary stardom can change that.

Nigerian music producer Samklef has weighed in on the growing controversy surrounding Seun Kuti and his criticism of Wizkid FC, escalating an already heated debate within the Afrobeats community.

The drama started when Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, publicly called out Wizkid’s fan base for repeatedly invoking his late father’s name in online music debates.

In a detailed Instagram video, Seun accused fans of ignorance and disrespect, arguing that labeling contemporary artists as the “new Fela” diminishes his father’s legacy.

Seun stated:

“Keep Fela’s name out of your (Wizkid FC) mouths. Why must you find a way to bring Fela always into your discussions?”

He added:

“You try to steal the man. You try to claim that this your artiste is the new Fela. Then, when you people saw that you couldn’t wear those pants, that the shoes were too big to fill, you now turn around. If your lack of respect came from a place of defiance, I would respect it. But your lack of respect comes from a place of ignorance. Complete ignorance.”

Seun also emphasized the difference between Fela’s Afrobeat and today’s Afrobeats, noting that the modern sound is more influenced by Juju and Fuji, questioning the need to label contemporary music under the Afrobeat banner.

“Wizkid fc needs to keep Fela’s name out of their mouth. You people try to steal the man image. You try to claim your fake artiste is the new Fela. It’s an insult to Fela to call Wizkid the new Fela. Wizkid fc are the most !gn0 rãnt fanbase in the world.”

His comments quickly drew reactions from Wizkid FC members and supporters, including producer Samklef. Taking to social media, Samklef described Seun as a “hater” and “bald head vulture,” suggesting the singer lacks the wisdom to carry his father’s legacy with proper understanding.

Samklef tweeted:

“Bald head vulture! Una no see bob Marley children as dem carry their papa legacy with respect? But see fela pikin. Him know even happy say dem still Dey acknowledge him papa. Go just open shirt Dey shout! Him get wisdom but zero understanding.”

He further accused Seun of envy, writing:

“He hated and Burna Boy so Burna Boy play am! The fool no know say Burna Boy roast am. Give am him papa chain wey him don Wear make him take the were fela pikin Seun Kuti self post am. Seun kuti the envious bastard.”

The clash underscores the deep divisions fueled by fan loyalty, artistic pride, and personal sentiments within Nigeria’s music industry.

While Seun Kuti maintains that his remarks were meant to protect Fela’s legacy from misrepresentation, Samklef’s response highlights the frustration and anger among Wizkid supporters, many of whom see the statements as both dismissive and provocative.

As the debate rages online, it reflects a broader tension in Nigerian music, a space where respect for legends, fan culture, and contemporary artistry often collide in the public eye.

This post appeared first on Mp3bullet.ng... Read Original post on Samklef fires back at Seun Kuti over Wizkid FC comments, calling him “bald head vulture”.

Samklef claimed this while reacting to a recent comment by fellow producer Pheelz, who had called out the growing culture of unhealthy comparisons and rivalry among fans and artists.

Joining the conversation, Samklef reflected on what he described as a more peaceful era in Nigerian music, when creativity thrived without pressure or hostility.

According to him, the industry was more enjoyable and united during the early days of Wizkid’s rise, a time he says was characterised by mutual respect and genuine love among artists. He added that the same atmosphere existed when Olamide came onto the scene.

However, Samklef claimed that things took a negative turn with Davido’s emergence, alleging that the industry became increasingly toxic thereafter.

“Music was fun when we started. When Wizkid came, there was no comparison—everything was pure love. Olamide came too, same thing. No pressure, no hatred, just music. Then one Scorpio boy who moves like Diddy..Davido entered, and since then the industry turned toxic. Cultist mindset, threats, fake streams, dirty moves everywhere,” he stated.

The comments have since sparked mixed reactions online, with fans and industry observers debating Samklef’s claims and the broader issue of rivalry within Afrobeats.

As of the time of this report, Davido has not responded to Samklef’s allegations or addressed the statement publicly.

In a recent video making the rounds online, Samklef revealed that Wizkid arrived at the studio with a clear vision of the sound he wanted. According to the producer, the singer was already certain about the direction of the record before any beat was made.

“He said he wanted an old-school reggae feel, and I wanted something really sweet,” Samklef said.

That clarity, he explained, sparked instant inspiration. As soon as Wizkid shared his idea, the melody and lyrics began to flow almost effortlessly.

“Something came to my mind and that was how… ‘Baby, I love the way you whine it.’ That was the first verse done,” he recalled.

While the opening verse came easily, the second verse took a bit more effort. Samklef said he decided to bring in Banky W to help complete the song, reaching out to him for support.

“I called him, and he said ‘okay, okay,’” Samklef added.

The collaboration eventually produced Tease Me, which went on to become one of Wizkid’s biggest records from his debut album, Superstar, released in 2011. The song played a major role in introducing Wizkid to a wider audience and cementing his place in Nigeria’s pop scene at the time.

Looking back, Samklef noted that he felt an immediate creative connection with Wizkid during that first session, praising the singer’s energy, confidence, and clear artistic vision — qualities that would later define his rise to global stardom.

How Wizkid and I made Tease Me

It was my 1st ever studio session and my first time meeting Wizkid.

Talent manager Ubi Franklin has blasted music producer Samklef for mocking Davido following his loss at the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards held on February 2, 2025, in Los Angeles.

 Samklef took to his X page to mock Davido’s loss, suggesting that the internet would have been abuzz had Davido won the award.

Samklef went further to express his satisfaction with the Grammy’s lack of “bribery,” stating, “Thank God say dem no dey bribe for Grammy—if not, we for no hear word today! At the end of the day, money can’t save you if you don’t have real talent. Tems won because she’s truly gifted. Now she has the house, the private jet, the expensive cars—but no unnecessary show-off. Just pure talent.”

This comment did not sit well with Ubi Franklin, who quickly responded to Samklef.

In his response, Franklin pointed out that Davido was not the only artist to have lost a nomination, emphasizing that other artists, including Burna Boy and Wizkid, were likely not bothered by the outcome.

“Samklef you actually need to stop this please, David is not the first person who has gotten nominated and hasn’t won yet. Chris Brown after 25 nominations only got two,” Franklin wrote, expressing his frustration. “Stop dragging David into your continuous disrespectful commentary. I am very certain Burna and Wiz aren’t even bothered about the outcome yesterday at the Grammy. I have spoken to you in private as my friend, you need to actually stop this rubbish you have been doing, please stop.”  

Ubi Franklin’s strong words underscore the growing tension between some industry figures following the Grammy Awards and the ongoing rivalry between Nigerian artists.

Popular music producer Samklef has shared his perspective on why Davido continues to face disrespect despite his generosity.

He weighed in on the recent dispute between YouTuber Korty and Davido concerning an unreleased interview, urging Korty to release the video.

On October 27, 2024, Samklef took to X to respond to a comment that highlighted the disrespect directed at Davido, noting, “The disrespect davido is getting is way too much sha, man just want to help people and that’s all.”

In his reply, he questioned why Davido receives more criticism than other artists like Olamide, suggesting that Olamide has positively impacted more lives than Davido.

Samklef wrote, “Olamide has helped a lot of people more than Davido; why are people not disrespecting him? Davido brought it upon himself! This is what happens when you always try to look good in everyone’s eyes! You help based on expectations! I have love for him; he just needs to stop playing the victim.”

In a separate post, he encouraged Korty to publish the interview without seeking Davido’s approval, emphasizing his support for her.

He stated, “If I were Korty, I would release the podcast. Did they force Davido to do the interview? Don’t let them bully you. Samklef will fight for you. What’s her handle?”

This commentary follows Korty’s announcement that she intended to release her interview with Davido, only to later reveal that the singer and his team had not granted permission.

She expressed her frustration over their refusal, despite her re-editing of the footage.

Her situation quickly gained traction on social media, making her a trending topic.

However, she also faced criticism from many of Davido’s fans after she expressed that numerous artists have asked her not to post their interviews, saying, “I’ve filmed so many artists who eventually tell me not to post the video. if you don’t want people to see you for who you are, please do not come on my show. stop wasting my time.”

Popular record producer-turned-blogger Samklef has shared his thoughts on the viral video of Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage exposing her backside during a livestream.

The incident occurred during a TikTok live with content creators Peller and Jadrolita, where Tiwa Savage trended after revealing her buttocks while discussing her tattoos.

As they spoke about her body art, Tiwa mentioned a bird tattoo on her neck. Jadrolita jokingly suggested she get one on her backside, prompting Tiwa to unveil the tattoo she already had on her rear.

The video sparked widespread reactions online, with some defending Tiwa Savage while many criticized her for exposing her backside in a public forum.

Samklef, however, came to Tiwa’s defence, criticizing those who attacked her. He stated that Nigerians lacked exposure and even compared them to VDM.

He further commented that misplaced priorities are common among many Nigerians, emphasizing his disapproval of the public outrage.

He wrote, “Tiwa did nothing wrong! Una lack exposure! So una no know where y@nsh Dey again? Una don Dey think like vdm! Una 2 get problem for that country! Religious fanatics children of Pharisees! Vdm gabu better pass their parents wey no fit fight for themselves! Misplaced priorities na the name of their last name.”

He compared Seun to his iconic father, suggesting that Seun has not built his own legacy but instead continues to live off his father’s achievements.
