Don Jazzy has opened up about the financial side of his Mo’ Hits era.
Don Jazzy has given music fans a surprising look into his Mo’ Hits era, revealing that he did not make money from the label and didn’t receive royalties from its catalogue today.
Speaking about that period of his career, the music executive said he handed everything connected to Mo’ Hits to I.T. Hanj and then decided to move forward. For fans who remember just how influential the label became, that revelation certainly adds another layer to the story.
For years, Mo’ Hits has remained one of the most talked-about chapters in Nigerian music. The label played a major role in the rise of artists such as D’banj and Wande Coal, while Don Jazzy strengthened his reputation as a producer, songwriter and music executive.
However, Don Jazzy’s latest comments provide a glimpse into the financial side of that era.
According to him, he never made money from Mo’ Hits. He also said he currently receives no royalties from the catalogue.
Instead, Don Jazzy explained that he handed over everything relating to Mo’ Hits to I.T. Hanj before choosing to move on with his career.
That decision becomes particularly interesting when you consider how valuable successful music catalogues can become over time. As songs continue to receive streams, airplay and other forms of exposure, ownership and royalty rights can potentially remain financially important years after their release.
After the Mo’ Hits chapter ended, Don Jazzy did not stay away from the music business for long. Instead, he founded Mavin Records and went on to build another influential platform for Nigerian artists.
Meanwhile, the Mo’ Hits catalogue continues to hold a special place in Nigerian pop culture. Songs from that era remain familiar to many fans, while the artists associated with the label continue to feature in conversations about the evolution of Afrobeats.
Consequently, Don Jazzy’s revelation gives listeners another perspective on an era that many Nigerians remember fondly.

Beyond the nostalgia, the comments also highlight the importance of ownership, royalties and music rights.
As Nigerian music continues to expand internationally, artists and music executives increasingly have to pay attention to what happens to their catalogues and intellectual property. After all, a hit song can remain valuable long after its original release.
For Don Jazzy, however, the message appears clear. He made his decision, closed that chapter and built something new.
