Emotions have continued to run high at the Gbaja Street, Surulere, Lagos,
residence of late talented music producer and singer, Babatunde Okungbowa a.k.a
‘OJB Jezreel’ following his demise two days ago.
The respected music producer,
who passed away in the early hours of Tuesday, had battled with a kidney
disease for some time before he eventually had a transplant in India in 2013.
His kidney again completely failed last week and he was on dialysis to overcome
the relapse before he died on Tuesday. However, family members and friends of
OJB are not happy with the colleagues of the deceased in the entertainment
industry.
Vanguard investigation revealed that many of OJB’s close friends and
neigbhours are bitter, as they accuse the legendary producer’s colleagues of
abandoning him to his fate in the last days of his life.
According to one of
the sympathisers at OJB’s residence who spoke to Vanguard on the condition of
anonymity, the entertainment industry is full of fake friends and fake love.
The source alleged that the lion share of the funds raised to foot the bill of
OJB’s kidney transplant in India about three years ago, didn’t come from the
entertainment industry.
