Nigerian music executive and producer, Don Jazzy, has expressed his disappointment and concern about the lack of support for female musicians in the country.
According to him, Nigerians are not very receptive to music by female artists, despite their dedication and hard work.
This issue was brought to the forefront by a social media user, @Lahon199x, who pointed out the disparity in the music industry.
The user noted that while female artists in other countries are thriving and equally represented, their Nigerian counterparts face significant challenges.
The X user wrote: “Nigerians in general are still not receptive to Female music
“You will see female dominating or at least equal to the men in other countries’ music industry.
“But In Nigeria?..Our female artistes have more chances of being A-list globally than being A-list in Nigeria.”
In response, Don Jazzy emphasized the dedication and effort that female musicians pour into their craft, lamenting the lack of appreciation from the Nigerian audience.
“And it’s so sad. The women put in soooo much work.”
Few weeks ago, Don Jazzy celebrated 12th anniversary of MAVIN Records, reflects on success and impact.
Through a series of video clips featuring both past and present signees, Don Jazzy highlighted the achievements of the label’s artists on various streaming platforms, showcasing their remarkable journey over the past decade.
Founded by Don Jazzy himself after his departure from Mo’Hits Records, MAVIN Records has emerged as one of the foremost players in the Nigerian music industry, boasting a roster of over ten talented artists, both past and present.
