Veteran Nigerian singer and producer, Abdulrasheed Bello, popularly known as JJC Skillz, has made fresh allegations against music heavyweights Don Jazzy and D’banj, claiming they once turned against him during their early years abroad.

JJC Skillz made the claims while speaking on the Echo Room interview series, where he reflected on their shared beginnings as upcoming artists in the United Kingdom and the events that later strained their relationship.

According to him, Don Jazzy, D’banj, and a few others secretly worked against him, despite the support and opportunities he said he provided at the time. He explained that their paths crossed through mutual contacts who were running a television station in the UK.

Recalling the encounter, JJC Skillz stated that he had approached the group in good faith, believing they had strong ties to the Nigerian entertainment industry. He said he clearly expressed his desire to reconnect with the Nigerian music scene and trusted them to help facilitate that process.

“They agreed to help me and linked me up with Bankulli,” he said, adding that he relied on them to introduce him to the right industry players back home.

“They Were Under Me Then”

Speaking further on their working relationship, JJC Skillz emphasized that both Don Jazzy and D’banj were part of his team at the time and operated under his guidance.

According to him, he later discovered that those he trusted had plans he was unaware of. He alleged that the duo eventually accused him of exploiting them during their stay in the UK.

JJC Skillz said he was taken aback by claims reportedly attributed to D’banj, suggesting that he had cheated them financially while they worked together.

Expressing disbelief, he insisted that he had personally supported them when they were still unknown, covering their accommodation, feeding, clothing, and transportation to shows.

“At that point, nobody knew them,” he said. “I was the one taking care of everything. So how could I be cheating anyone when no money was even coming in?”

As of the time of this report, Don Jazzy, D’banj, and the other individuals mentioned have not publicly responded to the allegations.
