Famous musicians; Bob Ejike and Felix Lebarty are now at war. Trouble started when international Nigerian born-musician, Tee Mac said that 80 percent of Nigerian musicians are music illiterates.

Thereafter, Felix Lebarty responded that Tee Mac is not a musician. This statement angered Bob Ejike who lambasted Felix Liberty.

He said; “For the benefit of Felix Lebarty and his ilk. I knew Felix Lebarty when he was living in someone’s garage in Chief Ekwueme Street, Uwani, Enugu, scraping out a miserable living as a session musician. I used to bring him food and my used clothes to lend him some dignity and save him from starvation.”

“At about that time Tee Mac was conducting Shirley Bassey’s orchestra and touring the world with Silver Convention whose Fly Robin Fly was on the world chart. Tee Mac made his mark in global classical music before coming to Nigeria to release his famous album with hit track Nepa.”

“His band Tee Mac Connektion played side by side with Fela at Surulere Niteclub. Since then Tee Mac has been a constant presence in every aspect of Nigerian performing music including serving as president of PMAN.”

“His artistry may not be indigenous but his contribution has been sustained through generations. On the contrary Felix Lebarty made two albums and ran off to Abuja to lick political asses only to show up again after his mistresses were kicked out, as a pastor of some kind.”

“Is it the two albums he made that makes him the judge and jury of musicians? Both veterans are musicians but Tee Mac is a much more experienced and accomplished musician. I have made over 100 songs and performed in 20 countries but I have never arrogated to myself the role of confering musicianship on others.”
