Nigeria’s ace producer Micheal Ajereh, aka Don Jazzy, has been trending online over the past hours after a report of Universal Music Group (UMG) acquiring a majority stake in his Mavin record label.
Mavin would maintain its autonomy, keeping Don Jazzy as the CEO.
Hours after the report went viral, the Mavin label boss took to his social media platform to confirm the deal, which will play a significant role in the Nigerian music industry.
Don Jazzy also shared Mavin and Universal Music Group logos on his page, stirring reactions from popular names in the entertainment industry.
The music producer’s father, Collins Enebeli Ajereh, also known as Mavin Grandpa, happily reacted to the announcement.
Expressing pride in Don Jazzy and Mavin, Ajereh appreciated God for keeping him alive to witness his son’s success. Recall that the Mavin label boss lost his mother in 2022.
He wrote:
I thank God and I am proud this happened in my life time. I feel fulfilled. Congrats @donjazzy for taking the legacy a notch higher. More grease to your elbows and that of the entire SMD family. God bless.
