Majek Fashek, Manager Speak On Health, Rumours And More...

Nigerian Reggae veteran Majek Fashek has dismissed reports that he’s suffered another bout of drug-related issues hence his move to England. In a recent chat with Punch, the formerly embattled musician revealed that he was in the UK instead to work on his album. He said: “I am currently in London working on my album. Sammie Okposo was with us during the week, he made some positive comments about my work and I.

The stories flying about me are false, I love my fans, I love Africa and anybody is free to say anything they like about me. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter File photo of Majek Fashek during performance.

“God will help Nigeria and I will come back to support everyone. Azuka was my friend, he is always in Nigeria most times but in America, he is a cab driver and I used to give him money all the time. Why is he betraying his brethren? That is not good.” Speaking further on the state of affairs especially in respect to the entertainer’s health, his manager Omenka Uzoma told Punch that Majek is fine and fans can catch videos of him on YouTube to see latest happenings concerning his career. He said:

“Majek is here in London working on his album to please his fans. You spoke with Majek and you see that he is fine. He is in London and people can watch him on some channels on YouTube. “According to the false report about Majek, they said he misbehaved on stage but AY show was one of his best performances so far. It is on YouTube. Every artiste differs in their level of creativity.

I was the one that signalled to Majek Fashek to remove his shirt on stage. “Majek did not misbehave on stage, he entertained the crowd and went straight to his room. Tuface, Sound Sultan went to his room to chat with him. “We had to bounce a lot of people because about 25 people wanted to enter his room with him. AY calls me regularly to thank us for Majek Fashek’s performance during his show.

“Majek is here working in the studio in London. Even when we arrived in the UK, some television stations came to welcome us at the airport. Why is it that people like to condemn? Majek is doing very fine, he has his house in England, he has work permit, his song, Send Down The Rain, was made here.

“We entered the studio during the week and under an hour, he had made a song, the producer was very shocked. “Things can happen to anybody, anybody can fall, but do not capitalise on that. Let them talk but no one can stop God. We did about five tracks before leaving Nigeria after the single with Tuface.

There have been various reports of him relapsing in the wake of medical attentions he received at the Synapse Services Centre, an Abuja rehabilitation hospice, owing to his lifestyle and addiction issues.

Hopefully, he is back on his feet so he can maintain stability and make more music for his teeming fans. The embattled singer has been known to struggle with gaining acceptance in society as well as the Nigerian entertainment industry for years as a result of these and more. In 2015, he was put under medical supervision (at the Synapse Services Centre, an Abuja rehabilitation hospice) for several months over issues relating to drug and alcohol abuse. He was discharged in October, 2015 after which he made an appearance at the annual Felabration concert in Lagos.
