He mentioned that the decision to sell came after D’banj’s hit single “Tongolo” didn’t bring in the expected financial success.
In 2024, Don Jazzy successfully sold a majority stake in Mavin Records to Universal Music for $150 million.
He shared the news on Instagram, expressing his excitement for the new chapter with UMG.
