    As reported by Leadership, Abdulrasheed Bello (JJC Skillz) has resurfaced a behind-the-scenes label fallout narrative, alleging that Don Jazzy and D’banj “conspired” in events that led to his exit.

    The claim is spreading quickly because it involves legacy names and reopens early-era industry politics that fans still debate years later.

    • PM News (website): “How Dbanj, Don Jazzy betrayed me — JJC Skillz.”
    • Daily Post (website): “Don Jazzy, D’banj betrayed me — JJC Skillz.”

    Echotitbits take: Industry “war stories” can reshape public perception even when they’re years old—especially if tied to an interview rollout or personal brand reset. Watch for responses from the named parties, or for the story to drive renewed interest in the era’s catalogs and interviews.

  • Don Jazzy pushes back as online critics target donation beneficiary

    Don Jazzy pushes back as online critics target donation beneficiary

    According to The Punch, music executive Don Jazzy publicly defended a young woman who became a target of online backlash after receiving his donation to support her charitable initiative.

    Punch reported that critics accused the beneficiary of being greedy or fraudulent, but Don Jazzy argued that her request centred on helping others and that she did not “owe anyone anything” for receiving support privately.

    Social media posts circulating the exchange (including reposts on Instagram) echoed the same theme: Don Jazzy insisted that generosity should not be policed by online envy and that helping people is personal choice.

    The incident has reignited debate about public giving, social-media entitlement, and how philanthropy narratives can be weaponised in Nigeria’s online spaces.

    Analysis/Echotitbits take: This is more than celebrity gossip—it’s a window into how Nigeria’s social media culture can punish both givers and receivers. For public figures, the lesson is to expect backlash regardless of intent; for beneficiaries, transparency helps but won’t silence trolls. Watch for whether the beneficiary follows through on the promised project updates, and whether this shapes how celebrities choose to give going forward (quietly vs publicly).

    Mavin Records boss Michael “Don Jazzy” Ajereh set X (formerly Twitter) buzzing after a loyal fan finally got the Christmas opportunity she had been praying for – and then took it to another level entirely.

    The fan tweeted that her wish was for Don Jazzy to ask what she wanted for Christmas, promising not to be greedy. Amused, the producer quote-tweeted her, warmly thanking her for always engaging with his posts and asking, “What do you want?”

    When the reply came, it turned into what Don Jazzy later called an “everlasting expenses” request. The lady asked him to help clear some outstanding debts before year end and also support the launch of her Mercy Foundation, a charity she hopes will pay weekly dialysis fees for kidney-failure patients, inspired by her late brother’s illness.

    Don Jazzy, stunned but playful, responded that her request was beginning to look like a lifetime financial commitment on someone else’s pocket and joked that she should “pity this boy.” His response triggered a flood of memes and mixed reactions on X – some users accused the lady of being greedy, while others argued that she simply shot her shot and used the moment to chase something bigger than herself. The episode also revived conversation about how generous Nigerian celebrities should be expected to be with fans online.

    Don Jazzy Claims Mavin Spent Up to $5m Pushing Rema’s Calm Down Global

    Music executive Don Jazzy has lifted the lid – at least partially – on what it allegedly cost to turn Rema’s “Calm Down” into one of Afrobeats’ biggest global records. Speaking on Toolz’s “Bounce” show on YouTube, the Mavin Records boss claimed the label spent roughly $4–5 million promoting the track worldwide.

    He explained that pushing a record to that level involves aggressive promotion across several markets, from radio and playlists to lifestyle content, tours and strategic collaborations. According to Don Jazzy, Mavin’s usual playbook is to dominate one territory at a time before expanding, and “Calm Down” was no different – only this time, the spend was massive to match its global ambitions.

    Clips from the interview, shared on X, quickly went viral. While some industry insiders agreed that global campaigns can easily run into millions of dollars, others questioned the figure, suggesting he might be exaggerating to emphasise how capital-intensive the music business has become. The comment section under reposted clips is filled with sceptics, stans and curious observers arguing over whether that budget could realistically have been recouped from streams, remixes and touring.

    Whatever the true breakdown, one thing is clear: “Calm Down” has more than justified its hype, with its Selena Gomez remix topping charts across Europe and North America and becoming one of the most recognisable Afrobeats crossovers of the decade. Don Jazzy’s revelation has now added a new conversation layer – not just about hits, but about how much money labels are really sinking into making Afrobeats global.
