An upcoming actress,
Bianka Johnson, sent out a press statement today where she disclosed how
high life crooner Flavour and Morgan Ent. CEO Emeka Morgan, abandoned MC Loph’s
mother (pictured above with Bianca) after her son died in a tragic accident
in 2011.
Flavour and MC
Loph were childhood friends while Emeka Morgan is the CEO of the record label
MC Loph was signed to before his tragic passing.
My name is Bianka
Johnson, I reside in the United States of America. I am from Nigeria, a
healthcare practitioner, actors-manager and a goodwill citizen. Flavour Nabania
didn’t make a tribute song “Iwe”, he made a mockery of his friend, the late
McLoph. Below is my story.
Tragedy brought us
together…. That’s how I came to know Mrs. Nwaozor, affectionately known to me
as “Mama.” Back in November 2011, someone posted a tribute video, “Iwe”, by
Flavor, on Facebook. On that day I distinctly remember viewing the video on
YouTube and sobbing for over an hour after watching this video that paid homage
to two siblings who so suddenly lost their lives. I was simply paralyzed
thinking about the magnitude of grief one particular mother would have to
endure. You see, Mama was the mother who lost those two adult children on the
same day, specifically, a son, the erstwhile entertainer, MC Loph, and a
daughter, Chinwe.
All I
could think to myself is that life as we know it is so unfair. My spirit was
disturbed and something, I don’t know what it was, moved within me and I set
out to find this woman. It became my duty….my obligation, to find her, to hug
her and give her some semblance of hope and maybe a little peace, if she would
allow me to.
So, I began to search for Mama. The
first thing I did was to call Flavor’s promoter, Igwe, who I knew was based in
Houston, Texas. I asked to speak with Flavor and he informed me that Flavor had
gone to the mall, but he would make sure Flavor would call me immediately he
got back. At the time, Flavor was in the United States promoting the album he
had recently released. The next day Igwe called me and put Flavor on the
phone. I briefly introduced myself and went straight to thank him for
showing love through his tribute song to a dear friend who had lost his life.
Shortly after that, I expressed to him
how his video moved me to tears and how I felt compelled to find Loph’s mother.
Flavor thanked me as well and gave me a telephone number to MC Loph’s close
friend in Lagos who went by the name Obi Mgbakor. There was absolutely no doubt
in my mind that Flavor was in contact with Mama on a weekly, or at least, a
monthly basis seeing as the late MC Loph and Flavor were childhood friends that
grew up together. Without hesitation, I immediately called Obi Mgbakor in Lagos
and introduced myself to him and requested Mama’s contact information.
Obi Mgbakor was guarded at first and
was reluctant to give me Mama’s number. He asked for my Facebook name so he
could check out my profile. Without giving it a second thought, I provided it
to him and his countenance changed after he was able to verify who I was and he
even requested my friendship on Facebook.
Obi Mgbakor gave me Mama’s information
and I contacted her the next day and introduced myself. Mama and I spent almost
an hour on the phone the first time we spoke and she narrated so much to me.
Mama was heartbroken and she said that she was actually shocked Flavor was the
one that made it possible for us to start communicating. Mama went further to
express her disappointment over Flavor’s nonchalant attitude since the death of
her son, MC Loph and her daughter Chinwe. “Flavor has not picked up the phone
to call me since Obiajulu passed away, yet he made a hit tribute song on his
behalf. May God be the judge,” Mama said.
Now, it must be noted that MC Loph died
in a ghastly motor accident on September 14, 2011, while traveling on the
Benin/Ore expressway to visit Mama with his pregnant fiancé Nkiru, who survived
the ordeal. The phone conversation I had with Mama was in November 2011, two
months after MC Loph’s death and she said Flavor hadn’t called? Unbelievable!
Immediately I got off the phone with
Mama I called Obi Mgbakor to verify what she told me. The whole thing was
strange to me and I couldn’t reconcile the feelings and emotions Flavor
expressed in his tribute video with the nonchalant attitude he had towards his
best friend’s mother. Obi Mgbakor indeed confirmed that Flavor refused to call
or visit mama after McLoph’s death.
Right now, I want to set the record
straight. Since the death of Mama’s son, MC Loph, Flavor Nabania never called nor visited Mama and he never sent a dime to her for her upkeep. Flavor
hasn’t made any effort to reach out to Nkiru or MC Loph’s infant son. Mama died
from congestive heart failure exacerbated by heartbreak. But for the deaths of
her two adult childrenat the same time, which took an
enormous toll on her health, it is my belief that Mama would have lived longer.
Since her death, I have read so many
untrue stories including a statement made by MC Loph’s former manager, Emeka
Morgan. Once again, let me set the record straight: Mr. Morgan was never
responsible for Mama’s upkeep. He claimed that his record label was sending
Mama thirty thousand naira a month. Mama never received thirty thousand Naira
monthly from the record label and Mr Morgan never adopted MC Loph’s son nor was
he responsible for the infant’s welfare as speculated by some brainless human
beings.
Mr. Morgan abandoned Mama as soon as
the media attention surrounding her son’s death died off. Mr. Morgan till
date has yet to call Nkiru, MC Loph’s fiancé, to say congratulations on the
birth of Loph’s son.
