Top Nigerian music producer and Mavin Records chief executive, Michael Collins Ajereh a.k.a Don Jazzy has dismissed insinuations he is hiding from the British police following a car accident while growing up in London.
Don Jazzy’s former associate Abisagboola Oluseun John a.k.a Bankulli had given the impression Don Jazzy is on the run from the law after he had a minor accident.
“I refused to put a particular story about Don Jazzy in the Afrobeats documentary. Because Don Jazzy was trying to survive in London, he had an accident and the car got destroyed. Don Jazzy abandoned the car. He was coming from a show, and he fell asleep while driving and crashed his car.
“He left the car, removed the plate number and ran away. Why? Because you would pay more to carry the car away from there than to repair it. But look at Jazzy now, he has fleets of cars,” said Bankulli who together with Don Jazzy and D’banj moved Mo Hits records back in the days.
But Don Jazzy poured cold water on Bankulli’s version of the event: “Lol no panic. It’s been so long, so he doesn’t remember the story exactly.
” I actually waited for the police. They came and gave me a breathalyser to determine if I was drunk. I wasn’t, but the car was impounded. The fine to collect the car back was more than the cheap car, so I left it with them lol,” Don Jazzy wrote on his X social media page reassuring his worried fans.
