Michael Collins Ajereh, the Nigerian music executive, who is better known as Don Jazzy has reacted after offering to help an X user who asked him for a Christmas gift, only to be surprised by the person’s request.
The drama began when a woman went on X to write: “I wish that @DONJAZZY should just ask me what I need for Christmas. I promise, I won’t be greedy.”
Don Jazzy responded: “lol Oya na what do you want? Just cos I like your bio and I see you engage with my tweets every time. Thanks I appreciate.”
The woman replied: “Thank you Jesus. I owe some money that I want to pay off before the year runs out. But most importantly, I also want to kick start my “Mercy Foundation” I want to focus on paying dialysis fees to patients with kidney failure weekly. My brother died of kidney disease hence.”
Shocked by her requests, Don Jazzy wrote: “Ahhh Sister this your request is giving everlasting expenses on another person’s pocket o. You suppose pity this boy.”
Later, when asked what lesson he has learnt this year, Don Jazzy replied that he’s learnt that he can’t help everybody.
Renowned Nigerian producer and music executive Michael Collins Ajereh, widely known as Don Jazzy, has said that despite its global success, Afrobeats is still “a baby” compared to other established music genres.
He noted that Afrobeats practitioners are still learning, stressing that the music industry is dynamic.
Don Jazzy also highlighted how the cost of Nigerian music promotion has skyrocketed over the years.
The Mavin boss stated that he remains ever open to learning from others who have excelled in areas he has yet to explore in the music industry and beyond.
In a lengthy post on X, Jazzy wrote, “This our beloved Afrobeats is still a baby genre in the grand scheme of things.
“We are all still learning everyday as the game is ever changing. If you told me just 6 years ago that an afrobeats video could cost over 20m Naira I would say ahh that’s way too much o.
“But behold some of us have shot videos over 100k dollars. If Burna tells me what it takes to do multiple international stadium shows, I will take notes cos I never run am before.
“If Dangote tells me what it cost to build a refinery in Lagos I will learn from him. That said, my people if I tell you how to run a successful record label in Nigeria, I will advise you take notes even if na small note cos we no plenty wey don run am.”

Nigerian producer and music executive Don Jazzy has addressed and clarified details about a police case he encountered in the United Kingdom (UK) during the early stages of his career.
His former associate, Bankulli, had revealed at a recent event that Don Jazzy evaded the law in the UK after being involved in an accident that attracted police attention.
Bankulli claimed that Don Jazzy removed the vehicle’s plate number and fled after the police arrived at the accident scene.
“I refused to put a particular story about Don Jazzy in the Afrobeats documentary. Because Don Jazzy was trying to survive in London, he had an accident and the car got destroyed. Don Jazzy abandoned the car. He was coming from a show and he fell asleep while driving and crashed his car.
“He left the car, removed the plate number and ran away. Why? Because you would pay more to carry the car away from there than to repair it. But look at Jazzy now, he has fleets of cars,” Bankulli said.
Reacting to Bankulli’s revelation, an X user berated him, expressing fear that the case could be reopened if Don Jazzy were to visit the UK now that his former associate had made the incident public.
“With this reckless talk from Bankulli, I really hope Don Jazzy isn’t planning a trip to London. They can reopen a 20-year-old case!,” the X user wrote.
In response, Don Jazzy urged his fans not to panic, stressing that he did not evade the police as Bankulli claimed.
He explained that he waited for the police, who gave him a breathalyser to determine if he was drunk. Despite confirming that he wasn’t, the police impounded his car.
Don Jazzy said he abandoned the car with the authorities because the fine to retrieve it was higher than the car’s value.
“Lol no panic. It’s been so long, so he doesn’t remember the story exactly. I actually waited for the police. They came and gave me a breathalyser to determine if I was drunk. I wasn’t, but the car was impounded. The fine to collect the car back was more than the cheap car, so I left it with them lol,” he wrote.
Nigerian music executive and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy has opened up that he has the money to acquire a private jet.
However, he will not buy any jet because he has more important use for his money than a private jet.
The producer also revealed that the same reason he doesn’t splurge on other luxury items like exotic cars.
Mavin Records founder Don Jazzy has revealed that in talent scouting, he prioritizes an artist’s character and vision over sheer musical ability, describing it as investing in the “vessel” behind the music.
In an interview with RollingStone Africa, the producer emphasised evaluating personality, hunger, and cultural fit before signing anyone to the label.
He explained that while predicting breakout success is impossible, instinct often signals genuine drive.
Artists, he added, frequently underestimate their own potential until growth unfolds over time.
“Beyond the music, I focus on the vessel, the person. I look at their personality, their hunger, their vision. At Mavin, we also pay attention to how well they’ll fit into our culture.
“You can’t always predict who will blow up, but sometimes you can feel when someone truly wants it. Many don’t realize how big their dreams can get until time unfolds,” he said.
Don Jazzy stressed alignment with Mavin’s collaborative ethos, noting that every addition to the roster is vetted for long-term compatibility.
The strategy has fueled the label’s track record, launching global acts like Tiwa Savage, Reekado Banks, Korede Bello, Rema, and Ayra Starr.
