Veteran Reggae singer, Majek Fashek, who has been in the
media of recent for his poor health; claims the press in
Nigeria have been hounding him, and writing negative
stories about him.
Speaking to Encomium
Weekly, Fashek who has had
a long battle with drugs said
the press is blackmailing
him, although he didn’t say
why.
“The Nigerian press, the print
in particular, not electronic,
have been blackmailing me.
They are trying to ruin me,
writing all sorts of things
against me. I did nothing” he said.
Last month a Nigerian blogger narrated his chance
encounter with Majek Fashek whom he described as a “a
loony figure. Pants sagged, dirty black underwear showing,
a caftan perched precariously on his extra lean shoulders,
shock of long unkempt dreadlocks cascading down his head
and teeth yellowed by years of hard living and a face still
surprisingly handsome despite the ravages of illicit living.
This was Majek, my hero, the one who brought down the
rain.”
Majek Fashek has dismissed this story, and provided his
own version of the event.
“It’s not true. The thing is I’m a Rasta Man and a prisoner of
conscience. These are my two movements. And a prisoner
of conscience and Rasta Man does not avoid the poor.
Poverty is a sin, I cannot discriminate against the streets,
even though I am a millionaire. I have $100, 000 in one of
the biggest banks in America. I’m not a careless man. I’m a
father with four boys. What happened was the hotel I was
staying didn’t have light and they didn’t put on the
generator. I was bored. So, I went into the streets to buy
myself a drink. I like Guinness, sometimes Apeteshi or malt.
I use the Apeteshi to consult with the holy spirit.
The Nigerian print is trying me, I will pour fire on them.
Don’t they want me to live? You people, the media control
the world. People believe whatever you write. You control
even the presidents of the world. The area boys and girls
are the ones that saved my stardom.
I didn’t even know that guy wrote this thing came to
investigate me. Is he CIA? I even bought him bread that
day” said the singer popularly referred to as the rainmaker.
Majek Fashek also says he has a bungalow at Ogba in
Lagos.
The music legend revealed that he stopped his family from
coming to see him a few years ago because it wasn’t
practical for them even though they were missing him.
“I told them not to, especially because my first son, Randy
he has a good job with the American government with a
wife and children. And I didn’t want him to risk all that” he
revealed.
