He said that this partnership was a milestone that recognizes their collective talent, and hard work while aiming to elevate African music on the global stage. Expressing excitement at the partnership, he added that this step forward was a testament to the dedication of his artists, staff, and, importantly, their fans.
In May, the record label boss celebrated the twelfth anniversary of MAVIN. He shared clips of his past and present signees, alongside their achievements on streaming platforms, as he thanked everyone for supporting them for twelve years.
Last year, Mavin Records celebrated its 11th year of establishment and Don Jazzy penned an emotional note. He recalled the lovely moments created by Mavin, and how it kept growing from strength to strength, breaking boundaries, and impacting positively.

Big Brother Naija Lockdown winner, Laycon, has revealed that his mother’s health situation during the reality show was so critical that he believes she might not have survived if he had not emerged winner.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
He made this known during an interview on the Echo Room podcast, where he explained that his mother was already seriously ill while he was still in the Big Brother house and her condition worsened significantly by the time he was evicted.
According to him, the prize money from the show played a crucial role in funding her medical treatment. He added that if he had finished as first runner-up instead of winner, he would not have had the financial ability to support her care at that critical time.
“When I was in the house, my mom was ill. By the time I came out, my mom was close to death. I’m saying it categorically now, if I did not win that show, if I had gone and come out second, my mom would be dead now,” he said.
Laycon also spoke about how he got opportunities in the film industry after the show, explaining that most producers approached him because of his fame from BBNaija rather than any proven acting experience.
He noted that even before pursuing formal training in film or completing his university education, he was already being offered roles, but he often questioned the motivation behind such offers, suggesting they were driven more by his popularity than his talent.
He further reflected on public perceptions of his career choices across music, film, and education, saying people often speculate that his decisions are influenced by struggles in one area or another, but insisted that everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Veteran Nollywood actor Patrick Doyle has opened up about his emotional state following the death of his newborn daughter, who passed away just hours after birth.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
reports that Doyle and his new wife, Olufunmilayo, had recently welcomed a child together, but the joy was short-lived as the baby died shortly after delivery.
In a post shared late Monday on his Facebook page, Doyle reflected on grief as something far deeper than a single moment, describing it as a constant presence that stays with a person.
He said words often fall short in expressing the depth of such pain, calling grief “unwelcome but ever present,” and noted that he speaks from personal experience rather than theory.
Doyle recalled the loss of his late wife, the passing of his son, and now the death of his newborn child, saying each moment added to a long journey of personal sorrow.
Despite these experiences, he maintained that he is still standing strong, attributing his endurance not to personal strength but to faith and inner support beyond himself.
Nigerian music executive Don Jazzy has sparked reactions online after sharing a lighthearted explanation about why many modern marriages seem to break down faster than those of previous generations.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a video that quickly went viral on social media, the Mavin Records boss used wedding cakes as a humorous analogy to compare past and present relationships.
He noted that in earlier times, couples often used fruit cakes made with alcohol for weddings. According to him, such cakes were durable and could last for long periods—sometimes up to a year—allowing couples to preserve and even share portions during their first wedding anniversary.
He jokingly suggested that this long-lasting nature of traditional cakes symbolically reflected the stability of marriages in the past.
Don Jazzy contrasted this with today’s trend, where many couples opt for butter or ice-cream cakes that require careful storage and spoil more easily.
He humorously implied that the shorter lifespan of these modern cakes mirrors the perceived fragility of some contemporary marriages.
He also pointed out that many modern wedding cakes are often heavily decorated with non-edible materials, with only a small portion actually meant for consumption.
