Renowned Nigerian music executive and CEO of Mavin Records, Micheal Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, has explained why he avoids having his artists release music on the same day as their peers Wizkid and Asake.
Ijebuloaded reports that Mavin Records boasts talents such as Rema, Ayra Starr, Crayon, Magixx, Boy Spyce, Johnny Drille, and Lifesize Teddy.
In an interview on Nigerian YouTuber Fisayo Fosudo’s podcast, Don Jazzy stated that releasing music on the same day as Wizkid or Asake would be detrimental, prompting him to reschedule his artists’ releases. He said, “We [Mavin] are shifting from the traditional Friday release date to Wednesdays and Thursdays because there are no more Fridays [without another artist dropping a song]. If my artist is set to release a song or project on a Friday and Wizkid or Asake is also releasing that day, I will move our release date because you don’t want to just die a natural death.”
