Don Jazzy, the seasoned record producer and music executive, has observed that Nigerians are not embracing female musicians as much as they should.

The Mavin Records boss said it is sad that Nigerians don’t consume much music from female artistes compared to their male counterparts despite their hard work.

The X user wrote: “Nigerians in general are still not receptive to Female music

“You will see female dominating or at least equal to the men in other countries’ music industry

“But In Nigeria?..Our female artistes have more chances of being A-list globally than being A-list in Nigeria.”

Michael Collins Ajereh, the famous Nigerian music executive and producer, who is popularly known as Don Jazzy, recently gave fans tips on how to handle critics.

He urged them not to be bothered by criticisms when they attained their goals, stressing that when they were struggling critics didn’t care about them.

According to him, paying attention to critics is a form of distraction.

On his X handle on Saturday, Don wrote: “Nobody gives a f*ck about you when you are suffering and grinding.

“If you give a f*ck about what people think about you when you make it, then you didn’t learn shit in the come-up and will be back suffering in no time.”

“Worrying about what people think about you in your grinding phase and your made phase is a distraction.”

Michael Collins Ajereh, the Nigerian music executive and CEO of Mavin Records, who is popularly known as Don Jazzy, has finally addressed the rumours about the sale of the record label.

Recall that in October 2023, Billboard reported that Mavin Records “is seeking investment or eying a potential full sale with bidding coming from the Universal Music Group, HYBE and strong interest from music asset investors in the financial sector, according to sources.”

However, speaking in the latest episode of the Zero Conditions podcast, Don Jazzy insinuated that the label isn’t seeking a sale but being approached by investors.

He explained that Mavin Records is lucrative and has a lot of potential, hence, the patronage from foreign investors.

Don Jazzy noted that Mavin has been in business with its current partner, Kupanda Holdings for five years and the holdings won’t continue the partnership “forever.”

He said, “It [the rumours about the sale of Mavin Records] is simple. We have investors, Kupanda Holdings, and they have been here for five years now, so dem go gona [laughs].

“Obviously, a bunch of people are interested in investing in Mavin. If you have gold or diamonds, people will always patronise you. And Mavin Records has a lot of potential.”
