Mavin Records founder and music executive Michael Collins Ajereh aka Don Jazzy has pushed back against suggestions that he charges for promotional favours in the entertainment industry.
The clarification came after actor Itele shared a skit on X in which he comically tied Don Jazzy up and "forced" him to promote the upcoming film *Black Market*. The video was clearly meant in jest, but not everyone took it that way.
