Music producer and Mavin Records founder, Michael Collins Ajereh, better known as Don Jazzy, has opened up about his fears surrounding love and marriage despite his success and past experience.
The 42-year-old, who married in 2003 and divorced two years later, shared his thoughts in a recent chat on HabbyFX’s YouTube channel. He explained that while he has seen true love — especially through his parents’ marriage — modern-day relationship scandals often make him hesitant.
“My parents were madly in love. Seeing examples like that makes you believe in love. But when you see breakups play out on social media, it gives me fear,” he said.
Don Jazzy confessed that vulnerability doesn’t come easily anymore, adding that he is still waiting for the right person.
“They say when you meet the one you’ll feel butterflies. I’m still waiting. I don’t want problems in my life,” he said jokingly.
He also revealed that financial concerns contribute to his caution, noting that divorce settlements — where men lose large portions of their wealth — worry him.
“Some men lose half of everything they worked for if they divorce. The money I’ve amassed is for my generation,” he said.
“I’m Single — Fear Still Dey”
Don Jazzy confirmed he has dated since his divorce but remains single.
“I’ve dated again, but right now I’m single. Na fear. God’s time is the best,” he said, adding that he also questions whether he is ready for marriage or capable of being fully committed.
The producer shared that he has grown emotionally and spiritually with age and continues to work on himself.
Passion, Routine & Faith
Speaking on music, Don Jazzy praised artists like Johnny Drille, Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, 2Baba, D’banj, and Olamide for shaping Nigerian music.
He also revealed he now prefers a quiet life indoors, delegating most of his business responsibilities.
“I’m always either at home, in the office, or in the studio. I now delegate — one person can’t do everything,” he said.
On faith, he noted that he believes in God but has become more cautious about organized religion.
“I believe in God, but I’m more skeptical about churches now,” he added.
