Baki B3 on Gagi Djogani: We Don't Have the Same Minds

Dance music artist Andrija Djogani, known as Baki B3, said to Blic on October 11 that he has no contact with Gagi Djogani. Of the whole family, he speaks only to Djole Djogani. A day later, on October 12, Gagi’s daughter Luna Djogani publicly wished him a happy birthday.

What did Baki B3 say about Gagi?

Baki B3 has been living in Banja Luka with his family for some time and comes to Belgrade for performances and business. This time he is in the capital for a day or two, so he cannot see either Gagi or Djole. He says he usually visits his mother in Belgrade, and claims there is no resentment toward anyone else in the family.

“I’m not angry at anyone in my family, and they’re not angry at me,” he told Blic.

On the question of communication, he was more specific:

“Of all of them, I only talk to Djole, and barely at all with the others,” Baki B3 said.

By his account, he met Gagi once, in Banja Luka, and they only exchanged a greeting. He described the rest of that story like this:

He went to his hotel to sleep, tired, the guy hadn’t slept enough. I have no idea. It’s not the same anymore. I feel bad about it. I’m sorry it’s this way, but what can I do. I can’t straighten out what’s crooked and work on something we don’t have, if we don’t think the same way. We don’t have the same minds. I’m sorry. Everyone for himself, let him keep going, brother. I don’t owe him anything, and he doesn’t owe me an account of himself.

He says he never performed together with Gagi. “As for concerts, Gagi and I never performed together, only Anabela did,” Baki B3 said.

A pension from royalties and hits

The same interview touched on earnings. Asked whether one can make a normal living from performing, Baki B3 answered that he secured his income differently:

“I’ve secured my own pension, I can say that as far as music goes,” he said, explaining that this covers copyright and digital rights and income from streaming platforms. He added that he makes songs as a hobby and, besides that, runs another private business with his wife.

He also had a word about his colleagues from the nineties. “In this group of nineties artists, everyone is a star. That annoys me a bit,” he said, adding that he has never seen himself as a star.

What did Luna write to her father?

While Baki’s words were circulating online, Luna Djogani, the winner of “Zadruga 2,” shared a childhood photo on Instagram in which Gagi holds her as a baby. She left a message with the picture:

“Dad, happy birthday, may you be alive and well, happy, smiling and at peace… May you always be our positivity, I love you very much,” Luna Djogani wrote in her Instagram post.

The caption she posted makes no mention of Baki’s statement, and in the statements available to us, Gagi Djogani has not commented on his words.
