Nigerian artist Okafor Uchenna Victor, widely known as Mr Real, has taken to the Terms And Conditions podcast to publicly address his colleagues, D’banj and Mr Eazi, accusing them of failing to settle alleged debts related to their joint projects.
In the latest podcast episode, Mr Real revealed that he has yet to receive compensation for his contributions to D’banj’s ‘Issa Banger’ and Mr Eazi’s ‘Overload.’ According to Mr Real, attempts to communicate with both artists have proven unsuccessful, with calls and messages going unanswered.
Mr Real underlined his role in the creation of ‘Issa Banger,’ stating that he introduced his producer, Cracker, and Slimcase to the project, which went on to achieve significant success. Despite the song’s widespread use, including in international movies, Mr Real expressed frustration over the absence of any royalties.
Regarding ‘Overload,’ Mr Real pointed out the lack of a formal agreement during its recording, highlighting the absence of a contract or split sheet. Allegedly, Mr Eazi has not provided any compensation for Mr Real’s contributions to date.
In his appeal, Mr Real emphasized his gratitude for the opportunities presented by his colleagues but stressed the importance of receiving fair compensation for his contributions. He expressed disappointment in the lack of communication, especially considering his prompt response to subsequent collaboration requests from Mr Eazi.
Mr Real concluded his statement by expressing his desire for financial success comparable to that of D’banj and Mr Eazi. He urged them to acknowledge and fulfill their responsibilities, clarifying that his intention is not to attack his colleagues but to prompt them to honor their commitments.
