"MC Loph was not my friend, we just did a song together" - Flavour

You know after MC Loph died, several
reports claimed his mum(now late) was
disappointed in Flavour for never visiting
or calling her. It was also reported that
MC Loph was the one who housed
Flavour when he first came to
Lagos.After his passing, Flavour sang a
tribute in his honour ...Here is what
Flavour said in an interview with Punch
"MC Loph and I weren’t as close as
people thought. I met Loph through
Mr. Raw when I came to Lagos. He
wanted me to produce for him the
same way I was producing for Mr.
Raw. Somehow, we came together
and we did the Osondi Owendi song.
We later found out that we came from
the same village.I played a very big
part in the song. People would always
want me to perform the song. But I
couldn’t. What is the essence of
collaborating when you cannot play
the song? It didn’t make any sense.
He said people told him I was
performing his song. I felt, ‘oh, it is
now your song?’ That was the last
time we really spoke to each other. I
decided to ‘free’ him.Yes. .........
We were not friends at all. We just did
a song together. People just had a
misconception about the whole thing.
I never told anybody this before and I
still insist it is not something we
should talk about.
I met his mother just once in my life.
We went for a show at Nnewi
(Anambra State) and we passed
through our village. He got down to
see his mother and I followed him. I
greeted her and I gave her money that
day. She was very happy. We left. I
was surprised when people started
saying I abandoned his mother when
he died. It is not fair to talk about
this since he is no more. But then, I
feel it is time I became honest and
open up because people have said a
lot of things about me. It is not fair.
He never greeted my father one day,
let alone visiting him. But I couldn’t
confront him because of that. I felt he
didn’t have any business with my
father. He could choose to greet him
or not. We were not related, we just
came from the same village."
