Nigerian singer Abdulrasheed Bello, popularly known as JJC Skillz, has accused music stars Don Jazzy and D’banj of conspiring against him along with others during his early years in the UK.
In an interview with Echo Room, JJC claimed that despite supporting the duo by feeding, clothing, and accommodating them as struggling artists, they allegedly betrayed him when the time came.
“Don Jazzy, Dbanj, Ayo, DJ Abass; all of them conspired against me. Taz brought a guy called Don Jazzy to me, and Ayo came through Abass. I met them because they were running a TV station,” he said.
JJC recounted how he sought their help to connect with the Nigerian music industry, trusting them to introduce him to the right people.
“One day I came to them and said, ‘You guys are obviously well connected to Nigeria, and me, I am a JJC. I just need somebody to introduce me to the right people to work with in Nigeria.’ And they accepted that they were going to help me and they connected me to Bankulli,” he explained.

He further claimed that while Don Jazzy and D’banj were under his guidance, they allegedly made plans behind his back.
“Don Jazzy and D’banj were under me then. So, these people who were supposed to introduce me back home to Nigeria, had plans that I didn’t know about. Then I heard something from Ruggedman saying that D’banj said I cheated them when they were working with me in the UK and that they are leaving my group,” JJC alleged.
Prompt News reports the singer expressed his shock at the betrayal, stressing that he had supported them when they were unknown.
“I was shocked because nobody knew them back then, I was the one taking them to shows, accommodating, feeding and clothing them. So, how can I be cheating when you haven’t made any money?” he questioned.
As of now, Don Jazzy, D’banj, and the others have not responded to JJC’s claims.
