DON JAZZY Only Owns 20% of Mavin Records, But He's Making More Than Ever!
Last year, Don Jazzy made a game-changing move by selling 80% of Mavin Records to Universal Music Group. As a result, every artist under Mavin — including Ayra Starr — is now also signed under Universal Music.
Ayra Starr is currently signed to Mavin Records, Universal Music, and Roc Nation (Jay-Z’s label). That’s major.
Back when Don Jazzy owned 100% of Mavin, let’s say the label could pull in around ₦10 billion yearly. Now that he has sold majority ownership to a global powerhouse with deep industry connections and massive resources, the earnings potential has skyrocketed — think ₦150 billion+ per year.
Even with just 20% ownership, Don Jazzy could be earning ₦30 billion yearly — more than what he made with full control. Roc Nation coming in only adds more international reach, more money, and more success.
This is why Don Jazzy is a genius.
When he sold the 80% stake, people called it a bad move. Now that Ayra Starr is linked with Roc Nation, they’re saying the same. But Don Jazzy knows what most people don’t — being a CEO isn’t the only way to make real money. Partnerships can pay way more.
Ayra Starr is just getting started. Expect to see her on the biggest global stages, winning top awards and signing huge international deals.
Don Jazzy is playing chess, not checkers. Respect the vision.
