OJB Jazreel |
Veteran music producer and singer, OJB Jezreel, 49, is dead.
Babatunde Okungbowa aka OJB Jezreel is reported to have passed on an hour ago
today, June 14, 2016.
The news of his demise is coming just one month to his 50th
birthday as a family source claims that his
kidney transplant failed completely
since last week.
Recall that the producer was down with kidney related
disease, and was consequently flown to India for a transplant in 2013.
On October 21, same year, the singer successfully underwent
the surgery at the Indian hospital. After the successful surgery, the producer
came out to thank all his well-wishers, especially his first wife Mabel
Okungbowa, popularly called Mama J, who accompanied him on the trip and donated
her kidney to him.
However, in 2015, the veteran Nigerian musician and producer
was reported to have suffered a setback in his recovery from the kidney
transplant; but he came forward to deny such reports. He sent out a broadcast
message and said:
”Hi my name is Babatunde okungbowa a.k.a OJB Jezreel. I’d
like to set the record straight, am at home and healthy with my family going
about my normal business. Obviously bloggers don’t research before they post.
If they did they would know that a transplant patient will always do routine
checkups cus of infections etc. Mmmm nuff said am sure hiptv, orisun
tv,encomium,el tv and black jerzie seeing and speaking with me in the past 2
weeks. Wasn’t on a hospital bed or in one! Research proper if it’s gossip
worthy or not.”
Music producer and singer, K-Solo and Jazzman Olofin also
took to Twitter to confirm the death of the singer. K-Solo tweeted, "#OJB
PASSED ON. just left this sinful World...Trying to get the Family."
OJB Jezreel is survived by 3 wives, June ‘Ama’, Korede and
Mabel and 8 children.
May his soul rest in perfect peace. Amen!
