Ailing legendary singer, Majek Fashek's manager, Omenka Uzoma-Day, has revealed why he mentioned singer, Olamide as the only artiste that helped out in Majek's medical treatment. SleekGists

Days ago, Uzoma-Day revealed that rapper, Olamide was the only artiste that supported the the ailing musician financially when he was battling with his health issues in the UK.

Uzoma-Day told Sunday Scoop,why he made the revelation. According to him, he was put under pressure to make the revelation as some people felt he got a lot of money from wealthy businessman, Femi Otedola and that he had diverted the money to his personal use, so he was forced to reveal the truth.

He said, “Olamide actually helped out over six months ago and I honestly feel guilty for mentioning his name because he told me not to. However, what I said was not bad. Olamide really showed love. I didn’t even expect it from him. I didn’t want to say it but my spirit was not at peace. He helped out at a time of tribulation.

"Some people felt Femi Otedola gave me a lot of money but everything he gave was paid directly to the hospital. A single penny didn’t pass through my hands.

"After it became public knowledge that Otedola had offered assistance, some people came out of the woodworks to harass me, asking for Majek’s money and properties.

"There was even a time I registered Majek for a health insurance scheme in the United Kingdom but nobody came to identify with us then. I did my best for Majek but I am not a millionaire.”

He however stated that he hadn’t had any discussion with Olamide after he made the revelation during a radio interview.

He stated, “We have not spoken. I will speak to him at a convenient time and he would understand why I did what I did. I’m the one wearing the shoe so I know where it pinches. As a matter of fact, St. Nicholas Hospital just called me to pay the balance for Majek’s treatment because he was there at some point. People should pray not to be sick because it is a bad thing because if one is sick, one would spend a lot of money looking for a cure. Even if you have hundreds of millions, you wouldn’t know when the money would be used to pay bills.”

On Majek’s health status,presently, the singer's manager said, “He is doing better now. He is out of the hospital but he is still undergoing therapy somewhere else in New York. He can walk, talk and respond to people. He is also moving around.

His son, Randy, is with him at the moment and he is doing a great job. I am here in Nigeria to make some arrangements and concentrate on other things but Randy gives me constant updates.

“Meanwhile, I want to use this medium to thank the media, especially PUNCH Newspapers, and fans all over the world for their support. They were so wonderful. Very soon, Majek would be able to speak with his fans.”

Uzoma-Day also implored radio and television stations around the world to play Majek’s songs on his birthday, coming up on March 7.

He added, “Majek is loved by many Nigerian artistes. They see him as a father figure and legend. So, I request that media outlets all over the world should play his music across their platforms. Those that can should also dress like him. All this is to make sure that we celebrate him while he is alive. I also appeal to the Lagos State government to give him a house. Majek shouldn’t have to be staying in hotels or paying rent whenever he is in Lagos.”

Whose fault is it that he didn't invest in a property when he was making a lot of money? If the state government gives him a house, they should give other veteran artists houses as well.

Oga manager,who u the manage?Majek or media?

i tire for this kind entitled mentality were our former artiste and footballers dey get oh.

Man made a lot of money back in the days, didn't build a house, has no tangible investments, only had sex with different girls, drank with friends, bought exotic cars, now, he is expecting the Government to compensate him after he blew his fortune on frivolities.

Isn't this obvious?

The vibrant celebrities should learn from this.....

ion get this

Under pressure from who? Is that really necessary? You actually did that so others can contribute.

Under pressure abi under the influence of an alcohol?

That's life bro, people are always quick to tag what u are not, the best is to be good to everyone including those that come against you, with Time...we all gonna be alright. My prayers to majek, olamide God bless your good heart and u too manager uzo

No lele

It's a pity...

Olamide is so magnanimous, even after given out the money, he told him not to mention his name.

What about Hajia Dangaji?? That woman went through a lot trying to help Majek get back on his feet....He spent the better part of 2012&2013 at her house in Sam ethnan Air Force base Ikeja

Olamide keeps helping people on a down low

whatever wrong Davido and Olamide does, they help out in their own way

domi domi dominique. You just dey make my belle sweet like honey

Okay

Government should give him a house? As what?

See what misfortune can cause.
Majek way back was a Star in every word.
What did he do, he messed up.
A big lesson for our so-called celebs

Olamide is known to be a silent philanthropist. He helps and doesn't want the limelight when doing good.

I knew majek fasek in Gowon estate egbeda Lagos. He was deep into drugs. Stay away from drugs people

Hmmm

Help is help
