Michael Collins Ajereh aka Don Jazzy has revealed the reason he failed to sign Wizkid and Davido to his defunct record label, Mo’hits.
According to the veteran Nigerian producer and music executive, he couldn’t sign Wizkid to the label because EME boss, Banky W got to the Starboy before 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.
Don Jazzy also regretted not signing Simi and Teni. He said he almost signed rapper, Falz The Bahd Guy but the deal broke down.
He stated this while featuring as a guest on the Leaderboard podcast hosted by Fisayo Fosudo.
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 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.”
