Speaking during a recent appearance on the Crea8torium Podcast, Don Jazzy explained that the close-knit environment within the Mo’Hits camp created a natural creative chemistry that made hit-making feel effortless.

According to him, some of the biggest songs from that era were born of ordinary moments and spontaneous interactions in the studio and in the house they shared.

“I have a theory that says that most of the great music that we made in Afrobeats was when all of us were living together,” he said.

The veteran producer went on to recount the story behind Olorun Maje, revealing that the inspiration for the hit track actually came from a tense exchange involving D’Prince and former manager Sunday Are.

“For instance, D’Banj’s ‘Olorun Maje,’ the idea was from D’Prince and Sunday Are, who was our manager then. Sunday Are was complaining that D’Prince didn’t want to go to radio interviews. He came to report to me but I didn’t even listen because I was working in the studio.”

Don Jazzy explained that he redirected the complaint to D’Banj, whom he described as more strict and disciplined within the group dynamic.

“So, I told him to go and report to D’Banj because he is like a military man. After he reported, D’Banj started shouting at D’Prince. Then D’Prince now came back into the studio where I was with Sunday Are and pretended like he was dusting some equipment and then began to sing, ‘Some people they want make I cry, some people they want make I die, why? Olorun Maje oooo’,” he stated.

The producer said the melody instantly caught his attention and naturally blended with the instrumental he was already working on.

“The lyrics just fell precisely to the beat I was making at that time. I told him to pause that I like it. That was how the song was born,” he added.

Don Jazzy also shared another example of how spontaneous creativity shaped the Mo’Hits sound, revealing that the popular phrase “You bad, you want it” originated from Dr SID casually freestyling over one of his beats in the studio.

Reflecting on today’s music industry, the Mavin boss suggested that modern recording processes have changed significantly, but noted that he still tries to remain intentional and emotionally connected when creating music.

Nigerian singer Ruger, who recently parted ways with his former record label, Jonzing World, has responded to a fan’s jab about his post-label music career.

The fan, @efekoga, tweeted today, Friday, June 7, 2024, “No hit since you left Jonzing,” suggesting that Ruger, had not released any successful songs since leaving the label.

Ruger quickly fired back, “No hit for Jonzing since I left Jonzing,” implying that the label had not achieved any success since his departure. This response is the latest in a series of public digs at his former label, which he has accused of exploiting him and using his funds to support new artists.

Ruger’s departure from Jonzing World, led by D’Prince, was announced on February 6, 2024, and has been followed by a public feud between the two parties. The singer has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with his contract and treatment during his time at the label.

In addition, Ruger put forth the idea during a guest appearance on the Cocktails and Takeaways podcast on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, advocating for a joint musical venture and subsequent world tour involving the trio.

His suggestion comes amidst a period of heightened tension between Davido and Wizkid, marked by a flurry of online exchanges filled with sharp remarks. Despite the ongoing feud, Ruger believes collaboration could serve as a unifying force within the industry.

During the podcast, Ruger elaborated that he and fellow artist BNXN could handle the composition of the songs, while Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy would focus on the performance aspect.

While Ruger’s proposal has garnered attention from fans and industry insiders, reactions have been mixed. Some fans express skepticism and disagreement, pointing out the complexities and rivalries inherent within the music scene.

After his outburst in the early hours of April 11, 2024, Afrobeat artist Ruger issued an apology to all those affected by his online commotion.

Taking to his social media platform, Ruger offered an explanation for his departure from Jonzing World, owned by D’Prince.

In his statement, he outlined his reasons for leaving, expressing dissatisfaction with the management’s approach and their perceived neglect of his career’s trajectory. Ruger’s candid remarks shed light on the challenges he faced within the label, ultimately leading to his decision to part ways.

He said “As much as I’m very appreciative of the fact that Jonzing world introduced me to the world, I just couldn’t continue with them because they got too comfortable with the money they were making from me and couldn’t push me further as I wanted to be pushed. Was supposed to renegotiate the contract but I couldn’t imagine 5 years more without action.”

Following his outburst, Ruger chose to adopt a new approach and extend apologies to all parties affected by his actions.

He took to Instagram Live to address his fans and anyone who may have been disappointed by his behavior and public criticism of his former label.

Ruger’s decision to apologize demonstrates his willingness to take accountability for his actions and move forward with a more positive outlook.

He said, “I won’t say I don’t care what people are saying about me, it’s only what people are saying about me that would make me act out like that. Please, cut me some slack, I love this music that I’m doing and I’ve been happy doing it”.

During his Instagram Live session, Ruger reiterated his admiration for D’Prince, the owner of Jonzing World, and extended heartfelt apologies to him and his fans.

He expressed gratitude to those who reached out and intervened, acknowledging their support and guidance during a challenging time. Ruger’s gestures demonstrate his sincerity and desire to mend relationships and move forward positively.

“I won’t lie, I’m still hurt… I’m really sorry to my fans, I love and respect everyone at Jonzing”

Nigerian artist Ruger recently took to his social media platform to shed light on his departure from his former record label, Jonzing World, following the announcement of his joint EP with BNXN.

In his announcement on Thursday, April 11, 2024, Ruger disclosed that the label, led by D’Prince, brother of Mavin Records’ Don Jazzy, had not adequately supported his solo career.

Ruger expressed gratitude for the support Jonzing World provided during the early stages of his career.

However, he clarified that his ambition to become a bigger artist was not aligned with the label’s efforts. Despite voicing his concerns about the promotion strategies, little changed over time, leading him to feel discontent with the situation.

He posted, “I complained, I got angry, some people tell me say no be so dem Dey do things. I still go back HQ go collect fake hugs and handshakes. Nothing still change. I wan mad.”

Ruger further criticized the label for reallocating funds generated from his work to support other emerging artists they had signed. He hinted at undisclosed issues regarding his safety but chose not to elaborate for the time being.

Despite the challenges, Ruger expressed pride in his journey and excitement for the future, mentioning confirmed tour dates as a testament to his ongoing progress and determination.

He also posted, “Anyways, I’m proud of myself. Performing at very big festivals this year, touring Europe again, touring Canada again, IDC I’m gonna be cocky. coz this is shit they couldn’t do for me. BS!!!”

Nigerian music sensation Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has challenged a widely held belief by asserting that blogger Tunde Ednut, not his former boss D’Prince, was the one who initially discovered him.

The 24-year-old singer disclosed on his Instagram story that it was Tunde Ednut who introduced him to D’Prince, ultimately leading to his signing with Jonzing World, D’Prince’s record label.

Ruger made this revelation shortly after parting ways with Jonzing World to establish his own music label, Blown Boy Entertainment, expressing his gratitude to Tunde Ednut as the initial catalyst in his career journey.

Acknowledging his newfound freedom to speak openly, Ruger thanked Tunde Ednut, referring to him as the “king maker” for his pivotal role.

He wrote: “Just because I’m free to talk now, I want to specially thank @mazitundeednut for being the initial person that discovered me before handing me over to the Prince. God bless you, king maker.”

In other news, Ruger stirred up online conversations by declaring his independence from certain influential figures, referred to as “godfathers,” within the music industry.

In a trending video, the ‘Asiwaju’ singer expressed his determination to prioritize himself this year, signaling a shift away from previous loyalties.

Jonzing World signee Gdzilla has unveiled the reasoning behind his distinctive mask, which captured the attention of fans upon his introduction by label boss D’ Prince.

The mask, modeled after the fictional pre-historic Godzilla character from which he derived his stage name, became a focal point for listeners, sparking both intrigue and criticism on social media.

During a recent interview on Hip TV, Gdzilla candidly shared that the mask served as a deliberate publicity tactic aimed at garnering awareness, with the intention of eventually removing it once the desired impact had been achieved.

This emerging artist, who launched his debut self-titled EP in 2023, marks the third addition to the Jonzing World talent roster, joining the ranks of Rema and Ruger, each with their own distinct branding.

Influenced by his personal experiences, Gdzilla’s music encompasses significant street elements, a theme he promises to further explore in his upcoming releases.

With a collective goal of achieving a hattrick of breakthrough artists, Gdzilla, D’ Prince, and Jonzing World are striving for continued success following the mainstream accomplishments of Rema and Ruger, especially in the wake of Ruger’s departure from the label to establish his own venture.

D’Prince has explained Rema’s allegiance and contract terms to Jonzing World and Mavin Records label.

In an interview with HipTV, D’Prince said Rema’s contract involves a collaborative arrangement where both labels contribute to managing and promoting the artiste.

He added that given the scale of Rema’s career, multiple hands have to come together to ensure its success.

“He is signed to Mavins, he is also signed to Jonzing World basically like Jonzing World is my label, Mavin Records is my label as well because that is where I came from basically,” he said.

“You could call it a joint label/management operation going on there. You know Rema is not a small artiste that just one label.. trust me, if you know how many people have their hands on deck in terms of Rema, you will understand why it takes a whole lot of people to come together to make things flow.

“There should not be any confusion. He was unveiled as a Mavin Records and a Jonzing World artiste and that is what it is. Jonzing World also doubles as his management company.”

D’Prince is the younger brother of Don Jazzy.
