At the end of 2011, he appeared to be on the verge of a comeback, when he released the video of his groovy reggae hip hop single, “Jah Revelation.” Insulated from negative influence by the management crew of A Plus Entertainment, a recording outfit committed to rehabilitating the fallen reggae idol and putting him back on track, fans and concerned public heave a sigh of relief, thinking that finally it’s redemption time for the Rainmaker.
Unfortunately, like an Abiku, who would break his parents’ heart at a point when they begin to get hopeful, the Prisoner of Conscience singer suddenly pulled a vanishing act. His disappearance threw a spanner into what appeared to be a smooth-going arrangement to re-launch him back to music spotlight, with his new ready-and-waiting album billed to be released in mid-January 2013.
Majek disappeared from his Gowon Estate apartment last December. After futile efforts to find him, he reappeared in the first week of January in a sorry state, haggard, weak and pale. The popular story is that he was allegedly abducted by one of his friends who lured him to Ghana with the intention to coax him into signing concert deals outside the shores of the country. The Little Patience singer however desisted from signing any document while in Ghana and after regaining his faculty, retraced his footsteps back to the country. Following his reappearance, he was at first hospitalized at St Nicholas Hospital, Obalende. Later, he was brought back to his house at Gowon Estate. At the moment, he is recuperating in a hospital at an undisclosed location.
The whole intrigues have put a halt to what should have been resurgence in the fading career of the reggae musician. The CEO of A Plus, Hajia Oluremi Dangaji, who claimed that her company had spent over N35 million on Majek’s rehabilitation and career comeback, affirmed that his new album is ready for the market. But the ultimate concern now is about restoring his health. Majek, she avowed, has gone back to his old lifestyle. “He has become a shadow of his old self, breaking bottles and behaving very abnormal. In fact, he has not been himself since he returned to the country. Right now, he is hospitalised. We are trying to stabilize his condition,” she was quoted.
A former associate of Majek, when contacted, at first refrained from making any comment about Majek, his album or A Plus Entertainment. Prodded, he said, “Against better advices, Majek chose to go the wrong way. All I know is that if he dies today, we would give him a befitting burial. We owe him that much.”
