Music mogul, Don Jazzy, has revealed how Wande Coal’s departure from Mavins affected him.
In a live podcast, he spoke about how each artiste who has left Mavins record after their contract expires has been painful but it hurt even more when Wande Coal left.
The ‘Surulere’ crooner said Wande Coal is an amazing vocalist and letting go was hard.
He talked about how he would still love to work with Tiwa Savage even after departure.
Don Jazzy said, “Wande Coal is a genius, an amazing vocalist we found at UNILAG (University of Lagos).I was hurt. Everyone hurts when a separation happens, whether it was amicable or not. You will hurt.
“Whether it was in peace or not in peace. I and Tiwa Savage are not fighting but I will still love to work with her. Whether you are fighting or not, it will still hurt.
“You have built friendship and will have to start building all over again. The Wande Coal exit hurt more. I even came on Twitter to talk about it.
“I was out of character. That has only happened to me twice in the industry. Some of my fans are still upset with me on that till today. Make una no vex.”
He went further to talk about how D’Banj, who he started Mo Hits records with, had pushed him into making music, which he later excelled in.
Don Jazzy referred to D’Banj as the catalyst.
“Any situation that I am in, it’s like I am content. Everything that people see me in me now, D’banj saw it first. He was like, you can be this, you can be that. He just sparked it in me.
“Left to me, I will just be where I am and not do much about it.
“He was the catalyst. If he didn’t see that I can deliver an album for him, I won’t have delivered an album for him.”
