Don Jazzy Reveals He Left Mo’Hits Records Empty-Handed

In a 2023 interview with the Zero Conditions Podcast, Don Jazzy discussed his departure from Mo’Hits Records, which he co-founded with D’banj. He stated that he walked away from the label in 2012 without any financial gain, emphasizing that he did not earn money or receive royalties from the Mo’Hits catalogue.

Don Jazzy explained that he chose to move on rather than cling to the label after its breakup, publicly announcing that he had severed ties with Mo’Hits. He relinquished all rights and gave everything to D’banj, subsequently creating a new company to start afresh.

Mo’Hits Records was a significant player in the Nigerian music industry during the 2000s, housing artists like Wande Coal, Dr SID, and D’Prince. The partnership between Don Jazzy and D’banj deteriorated due to differing visions for the label, particularly highlighted by their 2011 collaboration with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D.
