Why I Am Not Yet Married – Don Jazzy
Popular musician-cum producer, Don Jazzy has been frequently mocked for still being single even at the age of 36, but the Mavin Records boss never bats an eyelid because he knows what is best for him.
Don Jazzy however, in an interview with Hip TV’s street hop with Victoria Eze popularly known as MzVic, the singer who recently teased on social media that he now has a girl friend finally explained why he’s yet to get married.
“There are lot of amazing people that is why I can’t pick one, it doesn’t have anything to do with my status, I have trust issues, but I feel like even if I wasn’t Don Jazzy, I probably would have been the same”, he said.
Meanwhile, fast rising Nollywood actress, Sussan Frederick has offered to lose her virginity to him if he eventually decides to get married before 2019 runs out. “I will still keep my virginity intact, even N20 million won’t make it happen soon – Uncle Don Jazz, my crush you can have it any time if that will make you marry this year”, she wrote on her instagram page while celebrating her birthday.
Speaking further, Don Jazzy shared his opinion on artistes who breach contracts they signed with their record labels. “The Nigeria music industry has come a long way, we used to get sentimental about these things and some still are. Unlike when it used to take everyone unawares, people have gotten used to it. I’ve been through almost every scenario you can think of in the music industry.
“It is not the end of the world. You get to realize that these things happen. If you get to a point where you feel you can do it by yourself then why not. I don’t really want to be with any one that doesn’t want to be with me. My contract is the only contract in the world that has the clause, the moment you are tired, you can go”, he said.
