Nigerian singer Oluwatobi Wande Ojosipe, better known as Wande Coal, has clarified the claim that Don Jazzy made him successful, saying that, contrary to popular belief, God made him successful.
In a recent interview with Channels TV, the singer attributed his success to God, saying he partnered with Don Jazzy to achieve it.
The singer further insisted that his success cannot be credited to Don Jazzy alone.
“God is the reason for my success. I give all the credit to him because he was the one who brought me out and made me successful.
“Some people say it was Don Jazzy that brought me out, but I feel like it was just two talented people working together to achieve success. So, it’s not by one man. It’s God,” he said.
Wande Coal was discovered by Don Jazzy and D’banj in 2006 after performing at a campus event at the University of Lagos attended by the duo. He got signed to their record label Mo’Hits a day after the meeting.
He gained fame after appearing on most tracks on Mo’ Hits’ compilation album Curriculum Vitae in 2007. He solidified his stardom with the release of his debut album, ‘Mushin 2 Mo’Hits’, in 2009.
In 2012, following Don Jazzy and D’banj’s fallout, Wande Coal moved to Jazzy’s new record label, Mavin Records.
He exited Mavin Records in 2013 and launched his music label Black Diamond Entertainment.
