Why I Regret Featuring Idowest On Hit Song “Legbegbe” – Mr. Real

 

Singer Victor Okafor popularly known as Mr. Real has revealed why he regrets featuring Idowest on his hit track “Legbegbe.”

 

The singer believed that featuring Idowest limited the song’s potential and his career growth.

 

He stated this in a recent interview on Hip TV Trending.

 

Mr. Real revealed that he wished he had released the record as a solo project, stating that it would have elevated him to the same status as some of Nigeria’s biggest stars, including Wizkid and Burna Boy.

 

Mr. Real claimed that a potential remix collaboration with Wizkid on “Legbegbe” was scrapped due to complications allegedly involving D’banj.

 

He said the missed collaboration with Wizkid would have significantly boosted “Legbegbe”‘s success both in Nigeria and globally.

 

“Legbegbe” released in 2017, became a huge hit across Nigeria, catapulting Mr. Real to fame.

 

However, the singer stated that certain choices made during its rollout prevented him from fully capitalising on the song’s success.

 

Mr. Real stated: “I regret bringing Idowest into that song… I wish I had sung that song alone. If I had sung that song alone, I’d be on the same level as Burna Boy and Wizkid.” He added that Wizkid’s remix plan didn’t materialize “all because of D’banj…”
