Singer Mr Real has accused Nigerian music star D’banj of exploiting him during their two-year working relationship, alleging that he only received $500 in total.
Speaking in an interview with HipTV, the Legbegbe crooner said he felt used and abandoned despite his contributions. “D’banj ripped me, no be say allegedly, he did,” Mr Real stated. “You can’t be with a man for two years and the only thing you gain from this person is $500. What kind of w+ckedness and self+shness is that?”
He criticized D’banj for failing to support his career or connect him to industry opportunities despite parading him as an ambassador for his Cream Platform. “Giving money is different, let’s leave money. Are you telling me Banga no get connect to even put me on some of the things?” Mr Real asked.
The singer further recalled moments when D’banj showcased luxury cars while he struggled with basic needs. “I see one car wey you carry come… you carry am park am while me I no get car and you dey see me dey carry Uber come your house,” he lamented.
Mr Real, who rose to fame with his hit single Legbegbe, expressed deep disappointment at the lack of returns from his time with D’banj. He suggested that only his late mother could grant him the strength to forgive the veteran singer.
As of press time, D’banj has not responded to the allegations.
