Music mogul Don Jazzy has addressed rumours suggesting he once evaded arrest in the United Kingdom after a car accident early in his career.
The claim came from his former associate, Bankulli, who recounted the incident during a recent event, implying that Don Jazzy fled the scene to avoid police consequences.
Bankulli’s account described a dramatic scenario where the producer allegedly removed the car’s plate number and ran away, citing financial practicality over legality.

He suggested that the cost to retrieve the vehicle was higher than repairing it, framing it as a survival move while Don Jazzy was still building his career in London.
Responding on 𝕏, Don Jazzy cleared the air, saying that the story shared was not entirely accurate. According to him, he did not flee.
The police arrived at the scene, and he waited for them to administer a breathalyser test to confirm he wasn’t under the influence of alcohol.
The music producer, who recently spoke about buying a private jet, revealed that the authorities impounded the vehicle after confirming he wasn’t drunk.
He explained his decision to leave the car behind was a practical one: the fine to reclaim the vehicle exceeded its value.
He wrote,
“Lol no panic. It’s been so long, so he doesn’t remember the story exactly. I actually waited for the police. They came and gave me a breathalyser to determine if I was drunk. I wasn’t, but the car was impounded. The fine to collect the car back was more than the cheap car, so I left it with them lol.”

Legit.ng compiled the reactions of social media users below:
@AimThaMachine_:
"98% of Nigerian Police have never seen a breathalyzer before in their lives. They don't even think of using a breathalyzer during the scene of an accident. If them don smell your mouth, e don finish."
@incredibledude9:
"I was wondering…this can’t be the full story, because removing the number plate changes nothing. They can still trace the owner through the chassis number and ANPR cameras."
@Solarinze_:
"That's how a good business man reasons. Why use pay more when you can get a better car with less of that."
@Kaydeyofficial:
"Then why tell the story at all if he wasn’t sure of the details, na so people dey put people for problem."
