Speaking on the Echo Podcast, Nigerian music producer and Mavin Records founder, Michael Collins Ajereh, widely known as Don Jazzy, revealed that his relentless pursuit of success in the Nigerian music industry may have cost him the chance of settling down early.
The 42-year-old hitmaker admitted he never thought he would still be single at this stage of life. “I never thought I would be 40-something and not be married, maybe I lost that one. If it comes, it comes. If it does not come, I am totally fine,” Don Jazzy confessed during the podcast interview.
Over the years, Don Jazzy has built Mavin Records into one of Africa’s leading music powerhouses, nurturing global stars like Rema, Ayra Starr, Tiwa Savage, Ladipoe, and Wande Coal. Beyond his own label, he has also collaborated with top Nigerian and international acts, including D’banj, Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music crew, and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, further solidifying his reputation as one of Africa’s most influential producers.
Fans across social media have reacted strongly to his comments, with some praising his dedication to Afrobeats and the success of Mavin Records. His revelation has also fueled trending searches such as “Don Jazzy marriage news,” “Don Jazzy podcast interview,” and “Mavin Records founder personal life.”
