Nigeria’s foremost disc
jockey had his patience tested by controversial singer, Terry G, when the
singer slapped one of his apprentices at a comedy show tagged, D’Good, D’Bash
and D’Ugly.
When the incident
happened, the ‘cool’ DJ Jimmy Jatt simply asked his boy to close shop. In an
exclusive chat with Saturday Beats, the disc jockey said that
Terry G had mended fences and there was no problem between them.
He said, “There was not
really any problem between Terry G and I. It was just the DJ association that placed
a ban on his music but the ban has now been lifted. From our side, the initial
reaction was that we demanded for a public apology and he has done that. Terry
G went further to come to my office to apologise to the DJ and myself. He also
went as far as meeting with some members of the association and I think that is
what convinced them to lift the ban. To err is human and to forgive is divine,
so it was just fair for them to lift the ban against him.”
Recounting the
experience, Jimmy Jatt said although he was at the show, he did not know that
his boy received a slap till someone informed him.
“To be honest with you,
I was on a table far from the stage. I thought he was exiting the stage, I did
not know what transpired. It was someone that called my attention to the fact
that he actually slapped the boy. When I heard, I got up and went to ask if my
boy was slapped and he replied in an affirmative manner. I was shocked. I just
told the boy to vacate the place. Luckily; there was a backup DJ, so he took over,”
he said.
