Popular Nigerian producer, Babatunde Okungbowa a.k.a OJB Jezreel is dead. The dreadlock- spotting producer, is reported to have passed on a few hours ago after his kidney failed last week.

Only recently, there had been a rumour that he had suffered a setback and was in hospital. But the artist had come forward to debunk the rumour through a text broadcast.

It would be recalled that two years ago, OJB had a successful transplant in India after his first wife, Mabel, donated one of her kidneys to him.

The sad news is still being discussed by fans and colleagues. May his soul rest in peace.
