Nigerian musician Korede Bello has confirmed that his relationship with former record label boss Don Jazzy remains solid and unwavering.
In a recent interview, the “African Princess” singer discussed his transition from Mavin Records to a solo career. Don Jazzy is a veteran of the Nigerian music scene, playing a huge role in the industry’s modern era.
Don Jazzy is particularly famous for his relationship with D’Banj in the early 2000s, his music production skills, and his achievements as a record label boss. He has worked with artists such as Wande Coal, Tiwa Savage, Reekado Banks, Ayra Starr, and more.
Since Korede Bello’s contract with Mavins ended, he has maintained a stellar relationship with Don Jazzy and the duo even collaborated on a single, “Minding My Business” recently.
Bello highlighted the importance of balance and understanding in his journey, noting that although he is no longer officially with Mavin Records, he and Don Jazzy will always be family.
“When you go into a relationship, it’s best to go into that relationship with a person who would never be nasty on bad days. The quality of people you go into relationships with matters. I’m not a troublesome person, neither is Don Jazzy, so when our contractual agreement ended, we still had our relationship intact.”

When the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) presented the Gold Certification Award to Korede Bello for his hit single “Do Like That,” it was the highest certified digital single of all time for him and Mavin Records at the time. He exited the Mavin record label in 2021.
