Don Jazzy recalls attempting to sell Mo’hit records for 1 million naira

When asked if he once tried to sell Mo’hit records in the early days of the record for 1 million naira to renowned Nigerian music executive Obi Asika, Don Jazzy confirmed that he did attempt to sell off the label albeit unsuccessfully.

According to Don Jazzy, the attempt to sell Mo’hit came after D’banj released the single ‘Tongolo’ which earned him some mainstream attention but didn’t bring the money they were hoping to make.

Don Jazzy explained that they needed some money at that moment and this influenced the decision to sell Mo’hit to Obi Asika who at the time was the founder and label boss of Storm Records which was one of Nigeria’s biggest labels.

Mo’hit Records would eventually break up in 2012 after nearly a decade of dominating the Nigerian music industry.
