Super producer Samklef is not happy with
Wizkid. Speaking exclusively to LIB Samklef, who
produced Wizkid’ s hit single Tease Me and five
other songs in Wizkid’s first album, said the
superstar singer has not only refused to work
with him again, he’s also going about dissing his
(Samklef) talent.
“I’m not happy with Wizkid. I like his music,
but I don’t like him as a person anymore.
The reason I don’t like him anymore is, why do
you go about spoiling other people’s business?
I never spoiled your business, never came out to
say anything bad about you for four years.
So why would you go to an OAP and tell the OAP
that the reason why you no longer work with me
is because my beat is amateur.
What does that mean?
Those amateur beats was what brought you to
limelight, was what made you meet the same
Akon who first dropped ‘Don’t Dull’ on your
voice.” Samklef said.
I never downgraded him. I showed him love. I
used to go to his house…but he never came to
mine.
He doesn’t know my house. He hasn’t even seen
my son before. It means he doesn’t regard me as
a friend.
I wanted to feature him in one of my songs but
this guy kept posting me for years.
That’s not even why I am angry. I am angry
because he’s going about disrespecting my
talent. Saying these things in public. It is
annoying.
“I’m doing fine without Wizkid. I don’t want to
say I regret working with him but I’m thanking
God that we are all alive.
But ask him, the people you are going to feature
in America, if they were like you, would you
meet them?
“I wish him luck. I don’t regret working with
his talent, I only regret working with his person.
His fame took him away. He forgot where he
was coming from. His person is very disgusting.
There’s something we call the grace of God.
Before Wizkid got to where he is today,
somebody gave him a front line, somebody
introduced him.
He didn’t just come from anywhere. Making
music is not just about one person. Banky was
there to give him the front line and others came
to help out.
I’m not the only one complaining, other
producers are complaining. I don’t want to call
names but nobody is saying anything good about
Wizkid and you call yourself a superstar when
you keep matching other people down.
What is the star about you? Is it because you
are featuring other foreign artists? You are not
the first to do that, others have done that before
so why are you carried away?
“I don’t want to do anything with Wizkid
anymore. Keep it to yourself, keep your name.
I have new friends and new family. But he can
continue talking. We are listening.
I don’t wish him bad. He says my beat is
amateur but watch out for Samklef.” He said
