It will be recalled that a former Mavin record signee, Reekado Banks, disclosed what transpired between him and his former boss, Don Jazzy, after he left the label.
Speaking in a podcast with media personality Ifedayo Olarinde, aka Daddy Freeze, Reekado said:
"That man took me from absolutely nothing. I wonder why people would think that there was a problem. There never was. Everything was amicable. The end of the contract came, I wanted to leave and he gave me his blessings. I feel it is a tradition in the industry for artists to break out angrily from a record label, and I feel that is being imposed on our relationship."“Una popsy go school”?

According to him, no one has ever done it.
"Maintaining a record label at the highest level for 12 years is such an incredible feat. Especially because they’ve produced top artistes every single year, even up until now. It has literally never been done before and I really think we’re lucky to still be witnessing a dynasty, I know I am", Tunmise said.On working with the record label boss, he described it as a blessing. Here is what he had to say:
"It really is a blessing working with such a prominent figure that I’ve looked up to for the longest. Don Baba is an amazing person and boss, and clearly a genius because what else do we call someone that has upheld excellence for so long? A true Don."Don Jazzy's former partner and label mate, Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, widely known as D'banj, tendered a heartfelt apology to the former members of Mo'hits Records.
