Of course, that is what OJB Jezreel has always been to him. We can remember what the late producer said in 2015 “To set the records, I discovered Wiz kid’s talent. We basically started his career and I remember when we had to push Wiz kid around and take him for shows but nobody was ready to allow him to perform because they were not ‘feeling’ him at that point in time. When he had the chance and said he wanted to move on and try other things, we were behind him then too. If we did not discover him, he would not have been with us.”
He also said “I was the first person to go to his family house to tell them that it would be a nice idea if they allowed him to go into music. We have been there from day one but not everybody knows this story, we don’t just make noise about it. It is not Banky W that discovered him, I did. I would soon be 50 years old and I think it would be funny if I start blowing my trumpet,”
Without the late OJB Jezreel, Wiz kid may not have been discovered. Before Banky W thought of signing Wizkid, OJB has been there to mentor and help him become a better singer.
