Multiple award-winning Nigerian record producer Michael Collins Ajereh, also known as Don Jazzy, has showered accolades on award-winning singer Davido over his enthusiasm for music.

Don Jazzy, while speaking on the Zero Condition podcast, said he had always supported Davido for a long time, even when he was a member of the defunct Mo’Hits label.

According to the music executive, he had thought Davido would be the next big music producer after him.

Despite being from a wealthy family, he also applauded Davido’s passion for music.

“When I heard back when I thought Davido was going to be the next me because he sang and produced the song.

“Just go to Davido’s Instagram page or Twitter page, you will understand the passion this guy has for music. This guy wants to work, he loves the music thing.

Currently, there is money, he has a private jet. If he stops today, he is still going to fly a private jet and he will still be fine.”

Davido earned his first-ever nomination for the prestigious awards after he bagged three categories, including ‘Best Global Album’ for his latest album, ‘Timeless’.

Others are ‘Best African Performance’ for his song ‘Unavailable’ and ‘Best Global Music Performance’ for his track ‘Feel’.

Since the album’s launch, ‘Timeless’ has continued to rake in millions of streams across global music platforms.

In April, the project secured the 37th spot on the Billboard 200 chart. It secured the 39th spot on Billboard’s prestigious “Top 50 Best Albums of 2023″ list in December.

The body of work also set its first-day streaming record for an African album on Apple Music in the same month.

Davido recently headlined the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, where he performed at his Are We Africans Yet (A.W.A.Y) festival alongside other stars, including Adekunle Gold, Focalistic, Mayorkun, and Lojay.

Davido’s career officially took off in 2011 with the release of ‘Dami Duro’, his debut single.

With strings of awards and honourary mentions, the singer has established himself as one of the leading names in the African music industry.
