Singer Wande Coal has attributed his career success to God, rejecting claims that it was solely the work of his former label boss Don Jazzy.
Speaking in an interview with Channels Television, Coal said the two were talented individuals who collaborated effectively.
“God is the reason for my success. I give all the credits to him because he was the one who brought me out and made me successful,” he said.
“Some people say it was Don Jazzy that brought me out but I feel like it was just two talented people working together to achieve success. So, it’s not by one man. It’s God.”
Coal was discovered by Don Jazzy and D’banj in 2006 after performing at a University of Lagos campus event and signed to their Mo’ Hits label the following day.
He rose to prominence with features on the 2007 compilation Curriculum Vitae and his 2009 debut album Mushin 2 Mo’Hits. After the Mo’ Hits split, he briefly joined Mavin Records before launching his own label, Black Diamond Entertainment, in 2013.
