I Can Afford to Buy a Private Jet But I Have More Important Things to Take Care Of — Don Jazzy

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.

Speaking during an interview with Habby FX, Don Jazzy said he has been financially capable for years to afford any kind of car or even a private jet, but he prefers to focus on more important things — like investments and helping people around him.
 
“I’ve been blessed enough for a long time to be able to afford any type of car I want or even buy a private jet,” he said. “But I have more important things to take care of. Nothing beats investment.”
He explained that there are different forms of investment, including self-development, and revealed that he’s currently learning forex trading as part of his personal growth.
 
“The forex that I’m learning now is an investment in myself,” he said. “Tomorrow, it’s going to turn into something — a skill I can use. Don’t just be useless. Go and acquire some skill.”
The Mavin boss further encouraged young people to embrace skill acquisition rather than chasing only white-collar jobs, especially in today’s digital and AI-driven world.
“You don’t have to be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer,” he said. “In this internet and AI age, a lot of jobs will disappear. Why not learn something tangible? Even carpentry or furniture making — we still import tables and chairs from Turkey and China. If we had skilled people here, we could produce those things ourselves.”

What Inspires Artist Signing Under Mavin Record Label – Don Jazzy Reveals

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.

Music Executive, Don Jazzy Recounts How He Signed Ayra Starr To Mavins (Video)

Music executive Don Jazzy has recounted how he discovered Afrobeats star Ayra Starr and signed her to his record label, Mavin Records.

Speaking in an interview with Echo, Don Jazzy, who heads one of Africa’s biggest record labels, said there was a gap in the industry at the time for a teenage Afrobeats superstar, and he was actively searching for new talent to fill it.

He explained that he asked one of the people he followed to scout for promising singers in their universities. Among the names and handles that were sent to him was Ayra Starr’s Instagram profile.

According to Don Jazzy, what caught his attention was a freestyle Ayra Starr had posted about drug abuse — a theme he noted was particularly relevant to the challenges facing Gen Z. That performance, he said, convinced him that she was the one he had been looking for.

The producer added that he initially reached out to Ayra Starr directly but when she did not respond to his message, he contacted her brother.

Return The Money to Don Jazzy – Man Orders VeryDarkMan

The Chief Press Secretary to the immediate past Kogi State Deputy Governor, Promise Emmanuel aka Kogi Rebel has lashed out at social critic, Very Dark Man.
He labeled him a hypocrite for accepting the N100 million music executive, DonJazzy, weeks after insulting and ridiculing the music executive for donating money to Bobrisky.
In a post shared on his Facebook page, Emmanuel wondered why VDM would accept money from a person who he insulted a few weeks back for sending money to cross-dresser, Bobrisky while he was in prison.
Kogi Rebel wrote:
‘’The man who lost total respect for Don Jazzy for sending BobRisky Money whilst he was in jail has collected a whopping sum of 100m from the same person he lost respect for without returning the money.
 
They say integrity,  I say it is subjective. I think for the right price or hue, people do the things they accuse others of doing. We all want the same thing in different ways, finding ways to justify our own actions in society.
They say it is charity.  It is more like thieves who take money from innocents and go to church to pay tithes or offerings. It’s like politicians who loot the treasury then sprinkle some good deeds here and there to be exonerated.
 
Nigerians will always shift the goal post because we are mostly a people divided by multiplural identity.
 
How can you take money for charity from someone you think is moral reprehensible for your tolerance?
 
VDM should kindly return the money to Don Jazzy. The same way he came through when he sought donation is the same way Bob asked for his help when he was in jail. Only a dumb person would think Bob told Don “Give me money to rent a 2 bedroom Duplex in Jail”.”
In a seperate post, he wrote
‘’Don Jazzy is free to send VerydarkMan money because he will use it to do giveway for Nigerians.  
 
But Don Jazzy cannot send Bob Risky money if he reaches out to him for help. A member of the entertainment community o.
 
How do some of you even think? Except your brains have been kept at Kuje prison, you’re the only one appropriating contexts because you’ve made a mortal god.
 
Disappointment no extend reach money?
 
The very idiotic netizens who think they can select who anyone helps with their own money because of their own moral prism is nauseating.  
 
If VDM doesn’t return Don’s money to extend is unparalleled Disappointment for helping Bob when he reached out to him as a member of the entertainment community,  then he is a hypocrite. He is only angry that the assistance went to Bob instead of him.
 
Today we don hear “bros” towards Don.
 
Money dey change tunes. Money dictates tunes o. All Don’s sin with Bob has been washed away. A pardon of Disappointment has been lifted because 100m inside NGO account no be small shekels.
 
Oya, insult me!”
