Don Jazzy Reveals Why He Didn’t Sign Wizkid, Davido To His Record Label [Video]

Mavin Records CEO, Don Jazzy has revealed why he didn’t sign some of the biggest names in the Nigerian music industry when they were still emerging artists.

During an interview on the Leaderboard podcast hosted by Fisayo Fosudo, the music mogul explained that he missed the opportunity to sign Wizkid to his now-defunct record label, Mo’Hits, because Banky W of EME Records got to him first.

Don Jazzy also admitted that he could have signed Davido but chose not to, as he believed the talented artist would succeed without the need for a record label’s support.

In addition to Wizkid and Davido, the Mavin Records boss expressed regret for not signing Simi and Teni, acknowledging their exceptional talents.

He further disclosed that there were discussions about signing Falz to his label, but the deal ultimately fell through.

“I like Simi, I didn’t sign her. I wish I did. I like Teni, but I didn’t sign her. I wish I did. I had the opportunity of signing Davido but I didn’t because I kind of figured that he would be fine.

“Wizkid, obviously, I couldn’t because Banky W got to him first. That would have been amazing. Falz, I love his work. We almost had a deal,” Don Jazzy said.
