During a recent interview on Teju Babyface’s podcast, Baba Dee delved into various topics, including a missed opportunity to sign Wizkid during the early stages of his career.
Reflecting on Wizkid’s journey, Baba Dee shared that Sound Sultan had suggested adding Wizkid to their Naija Ninjas roster before Banky W eventually signed him. Unfortunately, Baba Dee’s overconfidence led him to miss out on this chance.
Discussing Wizkid’s personality, Baba Dee described him as a peaceful and focused individual with a clear sense of direction.
On a more somber note, Baba Dee opened up about his brother’s illness and passing. He revealed that six months before Sound Sultan’s demise, they were aware of his limited time, despite receiving treatment at a renowned non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma facility.
“This is the first time I am actually talking about this. He died in one of the best hospitals. He told me way back and was like ‘Dee, the doctor said I don’t have time.’ That was the first time I was hearing that kind of thing. He was okay, we were recording and he just flipped it on me like that. I couldn’t do anything again,” he shared.
