Asuquo highlighted that this move was ahead of its time, as he wasn’t aware of other producers charging in foreign currency back then.

“I hear music producers charge in dollars now, and I think to myself, I started doing this in 2005 at 24. I didn’t know anyone else doing that at the time. That’s me waking up to the value of my work,” he proudly noted.

While acknowledging his early boldness, the producer humbly affirmed his commitment to quality: “I cannot promise that what I deliver is the absolute best in the world, but it is the best I can give—and it’s very close to the best in the world.

Shocking Insight: Don Jazzy Reveals Key Reason Marriages Don’t Last Today.

Published

on

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.

In a recent episode of the Who’s In The House podcast, Don Jazzy explained that one of his main concerns is the reluctance of younger artists to actively promote their music on social media.

According to him, this often leads to disagreements within the label, as he encourages them to consistently showcase their projects online to boost visibility and engagement.

Don Jazzy noted that the issue is not limited to his signed artists alone, adding that even family members involved in entertainment face similar conversations with him.

He expressed confusion over what he described as a growing belief among Gen Z creatives that frequent self-promotion is unnecessary, stressing that consistent online visibility is important in today’s music industry.
