‘I am not broke’, Don Jazzy Debunks Rumours
Nigerian music mogul Don Jazzy has spoken about the rumours of him being broke, staying in a rented apartment, and his love for real estate investment.
The CEO of Mavin Records made this known during a chat with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on the BlackBox interview series. Ebuka kicked off the interview by congratulating him on his recent acquisition of a mansion. He then asked Don Jazzy why he decided to show off the property online.
“I have several houses but this one I like more. Besides, I already saw moving around the house in the morning. I didn’t want them to go and report the story the way I won’t like. Because I have been staying there for about a month or two,” he said.
“As I saw those people moving around in the morning with cameras and by evening I had not seen any news I just said let me just kuku post my house jeje before they will come and talk one long story. I don’t want wahala.”
