The music executive addresses long standing rumors about his financial stake in the defunct label
On August 26, 2026, music mogul Don Jazzy confirmed he earns absolutely nothing from the defunct Mo’Hits Records. The veteran producer revealed he willingly surrendered all rights and royalties to his former partner D’Banj before launching his own successful company.
On August 26, 2026, the Nigerian music scene witnessed a massive revelation. A viral interview clip exposed hidden details about the famous Mo’Hits split.
Fans always wondered who controls the massive catalog of the defunct label. Many assumed the legendary producer kept a share of the money. He recently shattered those assumptions during a candid chat.
The Surprising Confession
The interview began with a question about his old music catalog. The host wanted to know about his early production days.
”What song from the pre-Mo’Hits era… Mo’Hits…” the interviewer asked.
”Pre-Mo’Hits?” Don Jazzy questioned.
”Yeah, pre-Mo’Hits era, do you still earn from now, in terms of maybe publishing or, like if there’s… if there was one, if there’s ever one…” the host clarified.
The legendary producer seemed caught off guard by the inquiry. He found the assumption about his continued earnings quite funny. He laughed before giving his initial response.
”I don’t even… do I even earn from the Mo’Hits era? (Laughs) Do I even earn from the Mo’Hits era?” he laughed.
”(Laughs) Wait, wait, wait… wait, wait, wait…” the first host reacted.
”Wait, wait, wait… like, I’m just, I’m just curious. I was just…” the second host chimed in.
The studio erupted into confusion over his statement. The music mogul quickly shut down the speculation.
”I don’t earn from the Mo’Hits era, tell you the truth,” he declared.
”Fair enough,” the first interviewer conceded.
”You don’t earn from the Mo’Hits era?” the second host asked.
”Mm-mm,” the producer hummed.
This brief denial left the room in shock. The interviewers struggled to understand how this was possible. They immediately demanded a proper explanation.
”How?” the second host probed.
”So what do you…” the first host started.
”Melody…” the second host interjected.
”No… okay. Let’s let him break it down,” the first host guided.
Moving On Completely
The record executive took a moment to gather his thoughts. He reflected on the messy public breakup of his former company.
”Oh God oh. When they came to come and… when they came to internet to tell you people that the Mo’Hits was breaking up, I told you people I don’t have anything to do with anything again. I don move. If I wanted to… if I wanted to keep something, maybe I will still continue with the Mo’Hits as a company. I created a new entity, I moved on. Like…” he explained.
”There has to be some documentation though…” the host pressed.
The producer maintained that he truly walked away from the business. He focused entirely on building his new label instead. He confirmed his only connection to the old songs is as a listener.
”Like I created a new entity, I moved on. It doesn’t have… I don’t have any… see, the only access to it is when I see you people performing it or playing it…” he noted.
”Yeah,” the host agreed.
”Right… um, or I play it on my YouTube,” he added.
”Yeah,” the interviewer acknowledged.
He holds no resentment about the massive lost revenue. He simply enjoys seeing fans appreciate the classic hits today.
”Or I see people play it in like Big Brother and things, I’m happy,” he smiled.
The Ultimate Handover
The conversation reached a critical turning point. The hosts needed absolute confirmation about the legal rights. They wanted to know if he truly surrendered everything.
”Can I… can I hit a question… can I clarify, do you mean that you relinquished all the rights?” the interviewer asked.
”Yes, I did,” he confirmed.
”Oh,” the host gasped.
”To the artist?” the second host asked.
He reminded the hosts that this was not a secret. His former business partner already verified this story years ago.
”D’Banj have told you people… D’Banj used his mouth to tell you people that I gave him all the… everything,” he stated.
”Wow,” the first host reacted.
”Wow,” the second host echoed.
