An executive from Mavin Records has explained why he declined to sign Wizkid and Davido to the now-defunct record label Mo’ Hits.
In 2006, Don Jazzy and D’banj co-founded Mo’ Hits Records; however, the label was shut down in 2012.
Don Jazzy said he was unable to sign Wizkid because Banky W’s EME reached out to him first in a conversation with Fisayo Fosudo on a podcast.
If he had signed Wizkid to his label, he claimed it might have been “amazing”.
“Obviously, Wizkid, I was unable to sign since Banky reached him first. That would have been incredible, he declared.

The record label boss also listed some talented singers he “wish I could have signed” including Davido, Falz, Simi and Teni.
He said at some point, he had the opportunity to sign Davido but figured out the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker “will be fine” on his own.
“There are plenty of artistes I wish I could have signed. I like Simi. I did not sign but I wish I did. I like Teni. I had the opportunity for David, obviously. But I kinda figured that he will be fine,” he added.
“Again, Falz. I love his work. We almost actually had a deal but it did not work out.
“At the end of the day, you cannot sign every artiste. If I see an artiste now that I like, off the top of my head I am thinking (of spending) fifty to a hundred million in one year to actually get to somewhere. There is a lot of work and there are some of artistes on your roster already.”
