Addressing his long-standing respect for Wizkid, the producer said a collaboration couldn’t happen because the singer was already tied to another label. “To Wizkid, obviously, I couldn’t because Banky got to him first. That would have been amazing.”
He also touched on a near-deal with Falz, saying discussions were held but never finalized. “Falz, I love his work, and we almost actually had a deal. Well, it didn’t work out.”
Reflecting on all these near misses, Don Jazzy noted the reality of the industry: “But then at the end of the day, you cannot sign everybody.”
