Famous Nigerian music executive, Don Jazzy, has shared a shocking and funny story about why he no longer accepts free gifts.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, Don Jazzy, whose real name is Michael Collins, said he received a plate of nkwobi from a food vendor. At first, he thought it was a kind gesture. But things took a strange turn when the vendor later asked him to let Rema, one of his top artistes, perform at her event — for free.
The Mavin Records boss was clearly surprised by the request and used the video to explain his point. He warned people to stop offering him free gifts if they will come back later with strange demands.
The Shocking Exchange
Don Jazzy explained that the vendor gave him the nkwobi without him asking. She insisted he should take it, so he accepted and ate the meal.
However, she later called him and made an unusual request. She asked if Rema, the superstar singer under Don Jazzy’s record label, could perform at her upcoming event — without charging a fee.
Clearly unhappy about this unexpected favour-for-favour idea, Don Jazzy responded with disbelief.
“You Want Rema for a Plate of Nkwobi?”
In his words, Don Jazzy asked, “How does it even add up? Is the exchange rate for me? Because of nkwobi?”
He expressed how surprised he was that someone thought a plate of food was enough to book a global star like Rema. He added that this is why he does not like accepting free gifts from people.
The music boss said it’s hard to trust the real reason behind people’s kindness sometimes. That’s why he prefers to pay for anything he wants.
A Public Warning
In the video, Don Jazzy warned people to stop giving him things for free. “No one should give me free gift again. I don’t want it,” he said clearly.
He told his followers that some free things come with hidden costs or expectations. And for him, it’s better to avoid all that stress.
Don Jazzy’s video quickly went viral and sparked lots of funny and serious reactions online. Many fans found the story hilarious, but others agreed with his advice.
