Nigerian musician Abdulrasheed Bello, widely known as JJC Skillz, has alleged that fellow artistes Don Jazzy and D’banj, alongside others, turned against him years ago while they were still struggling in the United Kingdom.
Speaking during a recent interview on Echo Room, JJC Skillz claimed that the pair conspired against him despite the support he said he offered them at the time. According to him, he housed, fed, clothed, and helped promote them before they gained recognition.
He said, “Don Jazzy, Dbanj, Ayo, DJ Abass; all of them conspired against me. Taz brought a guy called Don Jazzy to me, and Ayo came through Abass. I met them because they were running a TV station.
“One day I came to them and said, ‘You guys are obviously well connected to Nigeria, and me, I am a JJC. I just need somebody to introduce me to the right people to work with in Nigeria.’ And they accepted that they were going to help me and they connected me to Bankulli.

“Don Jazzy and D’banj were under me then. So, these people who were supposed to introduce me back home to Nigeria, had plans that I didn’t know about. Then I heard something from Ruggedman saying that D’banj said I cheated them when they were working with me in the UK and that they are leaving my group.
“I was shocked because nobody knew them back then, I was the one taking them to shows, accommodating, feeding and clothing them. So, how can I be cheating when you haven’t made any money?”
As of the time of filing this report, Don Jazzy, D’banj, and the others mentioned have not responded to the allegations made by JJC Skillz.
