Don Jazzy Clarifies Mavin Records’ Sale Speculations | Fab.ng

Remember that news back in October? The whispers about Mavin Records, founded by music maestro Don Jazzy, being eyed by industry giants like Universal Music Group and HYBE, potentially setting off a bidding war for the coveted label. Well, hold your heads up, music fans, because Don Jazzy himself has stepped onto the stage to clarify the narrative in a recent podcast episode.

Here’s the real deal: Yes, Mavin Records is a diamond in the musical rough, and its crown is polished by chart-topping artists like Rema, Ayra Starr, and Johnny Drille.

Don Jazzy readily admits that the label’s success has attracted a large group of investors eager to get a piece of the magic. But then, selling Mavin Records isn’t a melody Don Jazzy is currently humming.

Think of it this way: You wouldn’t expect Beyoncé to auction off her Destiny’s Child days, would you? Similarly, Mavin Records is more than just a business venture for Don Jazzy; it’s a creative canvas, a platform for nurturing raw talent and birthing musical masterpieces.

While Kupanda Holdings, their investor for the past five years, might be bowing out, their departure opens doors for new partnerships and collaborations, not a “closed for business” sign.

Don Jazzy, the charismatic conductor, assures us that while Mavin Records isn’t up for grabs, its path is definitely upward and onward.

He said,

“The rumors about the sale of Mavin Records is simple. We have investors, Kupanda Holdings, and they have been here for five years now, so dem go go. Obviously, a bunch of people are interested in investing in Mavin. If you have gold or diamonds, people will always patronize you. And Mavin Records has a lot of potential.”

They Say “E Go Better”, It’s Getting Worse – Basketmouth On Nigeria’s Economy

Basketmouth On Nigeria's Economy | fab.ng

Nigerian comedian Basketmouth has openly expressed his frustrations with the state of Nigeria’s economy and its leadership.

During his appearance at the African Muzik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA), Basketmouth addressed two major concerns in his interview. First, he emphasized the continuous rise in inflation. Then, he highlighted the rapid devaluation of the naira. He went on to explain how both issues are severely affecting the lives of everyday Nigerians.

He said,

“There’s nothing that can happen, quote me anywhere. Think about it, in 1970, the year I was born, it was one naira to a dollar and this year it’s one dollar to 1600 naira. There was never a time from that time to date that the dollar crashed and went back to what it was and stayed there. It has never happened; think about it.”

Basketmouth criticized Nigerians who say ‘E go better.’

“Every time it changes, all the conversations you’d be hearing is ‘E go better, E go better.’ it’s getting worse, bro. What are the policies? And what have they done? Now 100 pages for a passport is 100,000 naira; they just increased it,” he explained.

” ‘E go better. E go better’… It’s getting worse bro”

First, Basketmouth thinks the government deliberately created economic problems. As a result, he believes government leaders want citizens to leave Nigeria. Additionally, he pointed out that Nigerians use the term ‘japa’ for this situation. Specifically, ‘japa’ refers to when people leave the country to find better opportunities elsewhere.

“I suspect that our government planned this thing to make the Nigerian population suffer. So that when they suffer they can now want to japa, then they will increase the price of the passport and they’d make money,” said the actor.

Sarcastically, he added, “It’s not like I’ve given up hope; I’m hopeful. Maybe one day, the country will be better. Let’s all believe in that pipe dream. It’s done, it’s over.”
