The Mavin Records founder, whose full name is Michael Collins Ajereh, shared his thoughts during an interview on HabbyFX’s YouTube channel, where he discussed past experiences, fears, and personal growth.

Speaking candidly, Don Jazzy explained that his failed marriage in 2003, combined with the frequent publicised divorces among celebrities, has made him wary of settling down again.

“There are good ones, there are bad ones. My parents were madly in love before my mom died. We see examples like that that make you believe in relationships,” he said.
“But when you also see breakups everywhere, especially on social media, people washing their dirty linen in public, it gives me fear.”

Financial consequences also factor into his hesitation:

“A man has to lose half of all that he has worked for in his life, especially those without a prenup. You see people suffer after divorce and it scares me. The money I have amassed is for my generation.”

Don Jazzy, now 42, revealed that he has dated since his divorce but is currently single, leaving his romantic future in “God’s time.”

“I’ve actually dated before. Currently, I’m single. Na fear, though God’s time is the best. I want the right person, but I’m not even sure if I am the right person for somebody’s daughter.”

He also spoke on personal growth and self-improvement:

“Am I disciplined enough to be with one person? I pray to God to help me become a better person. When I was young, I was a menace. I am getting older and wiser.”

On his daily routine, Don Jazzy shared that he now works mostly indoors and relies heavily on his team:

“I’m always indoors—either in my house, office, or studio. I delegate now. One person can’t do everything.”

The producer also praised contemporary Nigerian artists, saying he draws inspiration from the country’s evolving music scene:
