Don Jazzy has asked fans to refrain from sending him unsolicited gifts.
Ace Nigerian music executive, Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, recently issued a humorous, yet insightful, warning to his fans: beware the expectations that accompany unsolicited gifts. In a video posted on his Instagram page, the Mavin Records boss cautioned against the potential imbalance created when offering “freebies” with the unspoken intention of receiving a significant favor in return.
Don Jazzy’s message, delivered with his characteristic wit, highlights a common dynamic. He uses the analogy of being offered free “Nkwobi,” a popular Nigerian delicacy. While seemingly harmless, the acceptance of this free dish can create an implicit obligation. The giver might then feel entitled to request something of far greater value in return, a disproportionate exchange exemplified by Don Jazzy’s hypothetical scenario: “How you want to use Nkwobi to collect Rema?” referring to the popular Mavin Records artist.
The producer’s point is not about ingratitude, but rather about setting clear boundaries and avoiding situations where the true cost of a “free” item is obscured. Accepting a seemingly insignificant gift can subtly shift the power dynamic, leading to awkward or even exploitative situations.
Don Jazzy’s humorous delivery belies a deeper message about the importance of understanding the inherent value exchange in any interaction. While generosity and goodwill are commendable, attaching unspoken expectations to gifts can ultimately lead to disappointment and strained relationships. His advice serves as a valuable reminder: consider the potential implications before offering, or accepting, something for “free.”
The Nigerian film industry is in mourning following the death of Kayode Peters, a renowned filmmaker and producer.

Popular Nigerian skit maker, Carter Efe, has reportedly lost access to his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This development follows recent criticism leveled against Afrobeat artist Wizkid during a TikTok live stream.
Efe’s comments, in which he accused Wizkid of pride, triggered a backlash from Wizkid’s fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.

His comments, made via social media on Wednesday, arrive amidst ongoing discussions regarding impact and legacies, spurred by the recent exchange between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
In his statement on X, Terry G declared, “You can’t talk about cultural impact in Nigeria without talking about Terry G. I am the culture!” This pronouncement underscores his belief in his lasting effect on the evolution of Nigerian music.
