Musicain, D’banj said he was once ignored by owner of record label owner, Kenny Ogungbe, before he hit stardom.

The musicians was speaking o an audience with Ogungbe in attendance, said he had ran to Ogungbe while in traffic in Isolo, Lagos, handing him his demo CD.

He however said the record label boss only collected his CD and threw it on the seat.

He however said he won’t blame Ogungbe for the action, knowing better as a celebrated musician himself now.

“I was in Isolo going to LASU in my 1990 Golf, I was driving on the other lane, before God and man, Baba Keke passed, I did what any young entrepreneur would do, I turned my car and followed him. I parked my car and came out with my CD – that time I never meet Don Jazzy oh – I rush go baba car and knocked on the window looking like a traffic thief. I don’t even know my name then.”

“I kept knocking until he wound down the glass and I gave him my CD which he threw on the seat. Although, I got some calls later but shortly after, I got my visa to the UK where I met Don Jazzy and the story became history. But for even seeing him inspired me.

“Now that I get such requests, I kind of understand his reaction then but at that time, I no understand oh.”

Ogungbe was instrumental to the rise of many musicians in Nigeria including African Queen crooner Tu Face.
