Don Jazzy Opens Up on Why He Sacrificed Marriage For Success: “I Never Thought I’d Be 40 and Single”

• Music executive Don Jazzy admitted that marriage might be the one thing he sacrificed on his journey to success
• The Mavin boss, in a recent podcast, stated that he never imagined being in his 40s and still unmarried
• Fans weighed in as the music mogul reflects on what could have been his life outside entertainment

From discovering Tiwa Savage to launching the careers of Rema and Ayra Starr, Don Jazz has cemented himself as one of the most influential figures in Nigerian music.

But behind the glitz, there’s a personal sacrifice the superstar producer admits he never saw coming.

Speaking on the Echo Podcast, Don Jazzy was asked what part of himself he had to let go of while chasing greatness.

He stated

“I never thought I would be 40-something and not be married. Maybe I lost that one. If it comes, it comes. If it doesn’t, I am totally fine."

For a man whose career has been defined by bold risks and industry-shaping wins, this revelation struck a chord. Could the price of success be love and family life?

Interestingly, the Mavin boss also gave fans a glimpse into what his life could have looked like outside music.

He said:

“I would have been in the music industry still, or probably an influencer."

Despite acknowledging the trade-off, Don Jazzy made it clear he has no regrets.

He explained that his fulfillment comes from the stars he has nurtured and the milestones achieved in his career.
