Why I didn’t sign Wizkid, Davido – Don Jazzy
Don Jazzy, a seasoned producer and music executive from Nigeria, has explained why he declined to sign Wizkid and Davido to his now-defunct record label, Mo’hits.
The CEO of Mavin said that Wizkid had already been signed by EME chairman Banky W when he attempted to sign the Starboy to the label.
He claimed he had the chance to sign Davido but passed because he realized he would be successful without the backing of a record label.
Don Jazzy was also sorry he passed on Simi and Teni. He claimed that the arrangement to sign rapper Falz The Bahd Guy fell through.
He made this claim when appearing as a guest on Fisayo Fosudo’s Leaderboard program.
He said, “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 chance to sign Davido, but I decided against it because I thought he would be okay. Of course I couldn’t since Banky W beat him to Wizkid. It would have been incredible.
Falz, I adore your art. A agreement was almost reached.
