Mavin Records boss and superstar producer Don Jazzy has revealed on his Instagram that he was married to his best friend at 20 and divorced two years later.
The music mogul finally opened up following comments and questions about him not being married at 38. He said on Instagram that he got married to his best friend Michelle when he was 20 years old.
Don Jazzy wrote, “For so long, everyone keeps asking me when I’m getting married. Well, the truth is almost 18 years ago, I was 20 and I got married to my best friend Michelle and it was beautiful. I loved love and I loved marriage. Michelle is beautiful inside and outside with a soft heart.”
But according to Don Jazzy, the young marriage fell apart when his ambitions for music got in the way. He wrote, “Me being so young and full of dreams I went and fucked it up cos I was giving all my time to my Music. Music became a priority instead of my family. We got divorced when I was 22 and it hurt.”

Don Jazzy then expressed his reluctance to give marriage another try. He wrote, “I am still very much in love with my music and I wouldn’t want to marry another and fuck it up again. So I’m taking my time. Why am I just saying this now?? I really like to keep my relationships private actually. Past or present.”
On why he chose to speak on it now, Don Jazzy said, “I was watching the Bounce interview with Ebuka which is almost like a tell all interview, and I felt bad skipping this huge part of my life. So yeah make una no vex o.”
Don Jazzy has been a powerful driving force in the Nigerian music industry and has nurtured artistes from different eras. We can definitely say the industry would not be where it is today without his hard work and influence. It’s just sad he had to sacrifice his love life for it.
