Music executive and talent boss, Michael Collins popularly known as Don Jazzy, has revealed why he did not sign Wizkid and Davido to Mo’ Hits, the now-defunct record label.

Mo’Hits Records was founded in 2006 by Don Jazzy as the CEO/President and D’banj was the Co-Owner and also the first recording artist but the label was discovered in 2012.

Speaking in a recent Leaderboard podcast hosted by Fisayo Fosudo, the Mavin’s record boss said he couldn’t sign Wizkid to the label because EME boss, Banky W got him first.

On Davido’s part, he said he had the opportunity to sign Davido but figured out the ‘Fall’ crooner “will be fine” on his own.

He said it could have been “amazing” if he had signed Wizkid to his label.

“Wizkid, obviously, I could not (sign), because Banky got to him first. That would have been amazing.”

Don Jazzy also regretted not signing Simi and Teni.

The veteran record producer said: “There are plenty of artistes I wish I could have signed. I like Simi. I did not sign but I wish I did. I like Teni. I had the opportunity for David, obviously. But I kinda figured that he will be fine,” he added.

“Again, Falz. I love his work. We almost actually had a deal but it did not work out.

“At the end of the day, you cannot sign every artiste. If I see an artiste now that I like, off the top of my head I am thinking (of spending) fifty to a hundred million in one year to actually get to somewhere. There is a lot of work and there are some of artistes on your roster already.”
