The dynamic duo’s loyalty was tested with the fast growing success, pressures of money, fame, when a once in a lifetime opportunity came knocking.

The group caught the attention of International star, Kanye West and Rocafella records who made them an offer they couldn’t refuse, to join the infamous and highly successful American record label.

It was a dream come true for D’banj, but, Don Jazzy believed that they should have taken a more cautious approach.

According to him, “I didn’t think we were ready for that level. It may take me a long time to get there but when the time is right I know it will be perfect.

“There was no way of joining the roc and taking my other artistes along with me and I couldn’t leave them behind and we need to be in position where we could make the right demands.

“My experiences led me to take a different approach with the way I run my new record empire, Supreme Mavin Dynasty.”

With new artistes like Korede Bello, Reekado Banks and Tiwa Savage under his imprint, Don Jazzy proves that he is still the most successful music mogul on the continent and his worst day is far behind him.

He said, “I now make sure I have three year contracts with all my artistes after which they understand they are free to do whatever they want.”
