Don Jazzy’s Unprecedented Gesture as Rema Departs Mavin Records
By Favour Bibaikefie
In a surprising turn of events, popular Nigerian music producer and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, demonstrated an extraordinary act of goodwill towards his former signee, Rema, despite the singer’s decision to exit the label before the completion of their contract.
According to a Facebook post on the verified Facebook page of King Tunde Ednut, Rema, known for his global hits, had informed Don Jazzy of his intention to terminate their 10-year contract. Upon meeting at the Mavin headquarters, Don Jazzy reportedly expressed his concerns about the implications of such a move. He allegedly cautioned Rema, stating, “Do you know the consequences of breaching a contract? Let alone from the biggest African record label?”
The consequences of terminating such an agreement, as outlined in the report, could have been severe. These reportedly included:
The confiscation of social media accounts linked to the record label, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
The label retaining ownership of Rema’s digital streaming platforms such as iTunes, Spotify, Audiomack, and Apple Music.
The takeover of his YouTube channel, which currently boasts 4.66 million subscribers.
A ban on performing any songs released under the record label, alongside potential blacklisting in the music industry.
However, in a remarkable display of generosity, Don Jazzy made an unprecedented decision. Rather than enforce these contractual penalties, the music mogul reportedly “took nothing from Rema, he terminated the contract, blessed him and is still supporting Rema to date.”
While both parties continue to share royalties from songs released under Mavin Records, Rema has retained control over his streaming accounts, including his Spotify profile, which boasts over 21.6 million monthly listeners, and his YouTube channel, which generates significant revenue.
This move has sparked widespread admiration, with many praising Don Jazzy’s benevolence and unwavering support for young artists even beyond their time at Mavin Records.
The story underscores the impact of ethical leadership in the music industry and the importance of fostering long-term relationships beyond contractual obligations.
