Oluwasegun denies lyrical war with Koko Master

BUDDING hip hop singer, Oluwasegun Jacobs, has denied abusing the Koko Master, D’banj in his wave-making single entitled Mi Femo (Don’t want to know). In the wake of the controversy generated by the song, Oluwasegun said Mi Femo is simply a street slang, which he intends to popularise and use as his identity, adding that the lines in the song are just ways of expressing his artistic creativity. In one of his lines in the song, Oluwasegun said, “Collect 20 million in a week, Mi Femo (Don’t want to know) …” However, the punchy line seems to be referring to D’banj’s lyrics in the hit song, Mogbona Felifeli, where he boasted that, “I make 10 million in a week.” The Imeko-Afon, Ogun State-born singer, who started his music career in 2004 stressed, “honestly, D’banj is my mentor and he has been helping my career tremendously so far. So, it hurts to hear people misinterpret my song, speculating that I’m throwing lyrical jibes at him.  “I’m close to the Mo-Hits crew members and they have got shows for me on several occasions. I have performed at the Koko Lounge among other places courtesy of their assistance. Would they have done all these for me if I were actually referring to D’banj in the song? I don’t think so!” The video of the song directed by Patrick Ellis is currently enjoying favourable airplay at home and abroad.
