The last has definitely not been heard about the matter about the brewing beef between pop stars, Wizkid and Saeon.
The drama all began when Saeon lashed out at Wizkid for not being polite enough to help promote the song, ‘Boogie down’ across his social media accounts.
Wizkid responded by saying Saeon is not his friend and he even gave her a fair deal by featuring on her song while threatening to beat her up.
Shedding more light on what really
transpired between both parties, Saeon’s former manager who was in
charge of the self styled Omo Ibadan’s dealings at the time the deal
transpired, Alex Adegbenro who is now resident in UK, has granted an exclusive interview to a UK based radio station.
When he spoke with ‘Chi Chi’
on air last week, Alex said: ‘I can’t really say much as well, I
recently started getting calls from people too asking me what’s going on
between Saeon and Wizkid, so I decided to go online to get myself
informed as well, and lo and behold I found a video of Wizkid talking
about Samklef and Saeon. Contrary to Wizkid’s claims, Saeon at no point
made any contact with the kid, until I set up a first meet up.
Speaking further, Alex only stopped
short of branding Wizkid a serial liar by saying: ‘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 million 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.’
With Wizkid having claimed that he
charges as much as N10m for a collaboration, Alex continued in the
lengthy interview that Saeon would have spent the money on something
else if Wizkid had not been paid at the time.
‘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.’
