The internet has been buzzing after a resurfaced video showed music executive Bankulli recounting a dramatic story involving Don Jazzy allegedly crashing a car in the UK nearly 20 years ago. According to Bankulli’s version, the Mavin Records boss then still rising in the industry wrecked his vehicle and wanted the incident kept quiet. The clip quickly spread across social media, prompting heavy conversations, speculations, and a wave of reactions from fans who demanded Don Jazzy’s side of the story.
Don Jazzy, known for his calm and humorous online persona, finally addressed the claim, bringing clarity and balance to the narrative. In his response, he acknowledged that the incident did happen but emphasized that the way Bankulli framed the story wasn’t entirely accurate. Don Jazzy explained that there was no secrecy or scandal behind the situation, calling the viral retelling a dramatized version of events that took place when both men were “young and figuring things out.”

While he didn’t dive deep into every detail, Don Jazzy made it clear that there was no bad blood from his end. Instead, he subtly questioned the relevance of bringing up a decades-old moment, suggesting that people sometimes “add movie effects” when narrating old memories. His tone was measured and light-heartedly typical of the Mavin boss, who rarely engages in controversy.
Bankulli, on the other hand, is known for previously sharing stories from the early Mo’Hits era, including experiences with Wande Coal, D’banj, and Don Jazzy himself. This latest revelation adds to a pattern fans have grown familiar with, though it once again raises eyebrows about why these old tales keep resurfacing online.
The exchange has reignited conversations about the history of Mo’Hits Records, the early struggles of Nigerian artists abroad, and how far today’s industry giants have come. Many fans have reacted with amusement, praising Don Jazzy’s maturity, while others urged both men to put old stories to rest and focus on the present.
As of now, neither side has escalated the conversation, and it appears Don Jazzy’s calm explanation may have cooled the buzz. The legendary producer continues to focus on running Mavin Records and promoting new talent, proving once again why he remains one of the most respected figures in African music.
