beautiful upcoming act, Saeon and Hip hop
sensation, Wizkid, there is chilling new
revelation to it.
It would be recalled that just few weeks ago, fast-
rising singer Saeon had subtly called Wizkid on
Twitter, saying she paid him N1.5m for a music
collaboration but he could not at least give the song
a retweet on his page which boasts of a lot of
followers.
It would also be recalled that the music sensation
replied few days later in an interview that he helped
Saeon by collecting that ‘meager’ amount of money
from her as he is not affordable to upcoming
artistes. He also made it known that he charges
N10m for any collaboration especially to those he
does not love ..He also said she should be happy he
gave her a hit track….
However, cashing in on the controversy, Saeon’s
camp is not backing down as her manager at the
time , Alex Adegbenro granted an interview to Chi
Chi of UDR Radio NYC saying:
Contrary to Wizkid’s claims, Saeon at no point made
any contact with the kid, until I set up a first meet
up. 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 m 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.
Well, if you look at it on the bright side, I think this
whole thing has helped Saeon.
Meanwhile, few weeks back, Wizkid’s former
producer, Samclef, made shocking revelations on
his hate for the music sensation, noting bitterly how
he thinks Wizkid is an ingrate. The report which
Wizkid replied immediately, saying he loves Samclef
no matter what he has said
