Kelly Handsome claims Kenny Ogungbe blocked his interviews from being aired during their long-standing rift
Nigerian musician Orji Kelechi Obinna George Michael, popularly known as Kelly Handsome, has alleged that Kenny Ogungbe blocked his interviews from being aired during their long-standing feud.
Recall that Kenny Ogungbe once informed during an interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast that he signed Kelly Handsome and took him to the USA, but after returning to Nigeria, the musician chose to walk away.
“I first heard Kelly Hansome’s ‘Shout Hallelujah’ in a club in Owerri and knew it was a hit. I signed him, took him to the USA, and produced five Hollywood-quality music videos. But after we returned to Nigeria and he started earning money, he chose to walk away.” Kenny Ogungbe revealed.
While reacting to the comments made by Kenny Ogungbe during a social media interview with Daddy Freeze, Kelly Handsome said his ex-label boss blocked all his interviews and also had people call to threaten him at the time.
He said, “I did a lot of interviews that they didn’t let come out. Baba Keke blocked my interviews. I had people call me and threaten me; I had people call me when I did my show in London. It’s like bullying me.
The singer thought back on his experiences and wondered why he was treated the way he was. “At the moment, I appear to be a little child. Did I have sex with anyone’s wife, I wonder? No. Have I cut any money? No. “What have I done that cannot be forgiven?” he added.
