Umenka Uzoma, manager to Majek Fashek has revealed that singer, Olamide is the only artiste who supported him financially as he struggled with health issues in the UK. Uzoma revealed that Olamide reached out to him while he was still in the United Kingdom with Majek Fashek.
Speaking, he said: “He called me up in England and he said, Bros, sorry oh, I wan support Baba, don’t discuss this with anybody and he said I must not mention this. He is the only person that supported.”
The manager went on to say that other artistes came forward but he asked them to ‘calm down’ and wait for Majek to come back.
“I decided to stop some of them because when money comes in, so many controversies arise, people you don’t know from any corner start raising some dirty voices,” Umenka disclosed.
Meanwhile, the 57 year old singer has been discharged from Queen Elizabeth Hospital in England where he was treated and moved to the U.S where he is currently undergoing therapy.
“I am very pleased to announce that Majek is hale and hearty and under the watch of his son, Randy, who is based in the U.S. He can speak perfectly at the moment,” Uzoma said.
Uzoma also frowned at the attitude of some persons whom he said claim to be Majek’s family members. He said after Nigerian billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, took up the medical bills of Majek Fashek, he (Uzom) came under intense attack on social media.
‘I have been solely responsible for Majek’s upkeep in the last five years of the seven years I have been his manager. So where were these family members when he was facing tribulations? Immediately they read that Otedola had promised to foot Majek’s bills, they rushed to the hospital accusing me of ‘eating’ the money. Unknown to them, Otedola paid directly into the hospital’s account and not to me.
“I sent him an invoice and the monies was sent to the hospital directly. They weren’t convinced. They embarrassed me at the hospital, called me names simply because I refused to give them Otedola’s phone number and address. They even wanted to pit me against Majek’s son, thankfully he was wise enough to see through them,” he revealed.
Uzoma also noted that numerous fake GoFundMe accounts and fundraiser accounts were set up by Majek’s ‘family members’ and have been shut down. He also added that the singer has no Facebook or Twitter account but has an Instagram account.
