‘It’s So Sad, Nigerians Are Not Receptive To Female Musicians” – Don Jazzy Laments

Award-winning Nigerian record producer, Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, has lamented that Nigerians do not support female musicians.

The Mavin Records boss expressed sadness over the fact that Nigerians don’t listen to much music from female artists, despite their hard work, compared to male artists.

A Twitter user, @Lahon199x, highlighted this issue, saying Nigerian female artists have a better chance of becoming global A-listers than being recognized in Nigeria.

“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,” the user wrote.

Reposting this tweet, Don Jazzy admitted that Nigerians are not receptive to female musicians, noting that “And it’s so sad. The women put in soooo much work.”
