Why I Am Not Yet Married – Don Jazzy
Popular musician-cum producer, Don Jazzy has been frequently mocked for still being single even at the age of 36, but the Mavin Records boss never bats an eyelid because he knows what is best for him.
Don Jazzy however, in an interview with Hip TV’s street hop with Victoria Eze popularly known as MzVic, the singer who recently teased on social media that he now has a girl friend finally explained why he’s yet to get married.
“There are lot of amazing people that is why I can’t pick one, it doesn’t have anything to do with my status, I have trust issues, but I feel like even if I wasn’t Don Jazzy, I probably would have been the same”, he said.
Meanwhile, fast rising Nollywood actress, Sussan Frederick has offered to lose her virginity to him if he eventually decides to get married before 2019 runs out. “I will still keep my virginity intact, even N20 million won’t make it happen soon – Uncle Don Jazz, my crush you can have it any time if that will make you marry this year”, she wrote on her instagram page while celebrating her birthday.
Speaking further, Don Jazzy shared his opinion on artistes who breach contracts they signed with their record labels. “The Nigeria music industry has come a long way, we used to get sentimental about these things and some still are. Unlike when it used to take everyone unawares, people have gotten used to it. I’ve been through almost every scenario you can think of in the music industry.
“It is not the end of the world. You get to realize that these things happen. If you get to a point where you feel you can do it by yourself then why not. I don’t really want to be with any one that doesn’t want to be with me. My contract is the only contract in the world that has the clause, the moment you are tired, you can go”, he said.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
