Don Jazzy of Mavin Record, real name Michael Collins Ajereh , has clarified why the Afrobeats stars Wizkid and Davido, were not signed on to his now-defunct record label, Mo’hits.
The Mavion Record boss said he couldn’t sign Wizkid to the label because EME boss, Banky W had signed Wizkid before him, making further approaches difficult for him.

He said he had the opportunity of signing Davido but didn’t because he figured out that he would succeed without a record label’s support.
The celebrated producer also said he regrets not signing popular stars Simi and Teni.

“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.
The Mavin Records (also known as the Supreme Mavin Dynasty) is a Nigerian music corporation record label founded by record producer and recording artist Don Jazzy on 8 May 2012.
