Full post after cut ............
Following many reports that the late rapper MC Loph’s mother, was so
disappointed on how Mr. Flavour never visited or called her before she died,
looking back on how close he was to her late son after they did the hit song “Osondi
Owendi”. The ‘baby Oku’ crooner has never spoken to anyone or replied to the accusation
until now.
Here is what Flavour told Punch in an interview in regards to that; "MC
Loph and I weren’t as close as people thought. I met Loph through Mr. Raw when
I came to Lagos. He wanted me to produce for him the same way I was producing
for Mr. Raw. Somehow, we came together and we did the Osondi Owendi song. We
later found out that we came from the same village. I played a very big part in
the song. People would always want me to perform the song. But I couldn’t. What
is the essence of collaborating when you cannot play the song? It didn’t make
any sense. He said people told him I was performing his song. I felt, ‘oh, it
is now your song?’ That was the last time we really spoke to each other. I
decided to ‘free’ him. Yes. .........
“We were not friends at all. We just did a song together. People
just had a misconception about the whole thing. I never told anybody this
before and I still insist it is not something we should talk about. I met his
mother just once in my life. We went for a show at Nnewi (Anambra State) and we
passed through our village. He got down to see his mother and I followed him. I
greeted her and I gave her money that day.
She was very happy. We left. I was surprised when people started saying I
abandoned his mother when he died. It is not fair to talk about this since he
is no more. But then, I feel it is time I became honest and open up because
people have said a lot of things about me. It is not fair. He never greeted my
father one day, let alone visiting him. But I couldn’t confront him because of
that. I felt he didn’t have any business with my
father. He could choose to greet him or not. We were not related, we just came
from the same village." Flavour sang
a tribute in his honor.
