Record producer and music executive, Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, has revealed that letting former Mavin artist, Di’ja, go was one of the most difficult decisions of his career.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Crea8torium podcast, Jazzy recalled that the moment was tense, and Di’ja also noticed that he was uncomfortable during the announcement.

He explained that it was emotional because he sees every one of his artists as his child.

“One of the most difficult decisions of my career was when I had to let Di’ja go. That was difficult, and I don’t think I will let any artist go again by myself. Tega and Rima handle that now if they need somebody to leave the label.

“Everybody on my record label is like my child. So, that was hard for both of us. And she [Di’ja] knew that it was hard for me. She even questioned the guys in the room why they had to involve me in that. All of us started crying. It was hard,” he recalled.

Di’ja signed a record deal with Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records on 14 February 2014. Between 2014 and 2017, she released multiple singles and as well as an EP under Mavin Records.

In 2023, Dija clarified that she never formally left Mavin Records, but “life happened.”
