Mavin Records boss, Collins Ajareh, better known as Don Jazzy, has dismissed claims that he evaded arrest in the United Kingdom (UK) after an accident in the early days of his career.
Naijaonpoint reports that Don Jazzy’s former associate, Bankulli, had, in a recent event, claimed that Don Jazzy evaded the law in the UK after being involved in an accident that attracted police attention.
Bankulli claimed that the Nigerian music producer removed the vehicle’s plate number and fled after the police arrived at the accident scene.
He said, “I refused to put a particular story about Don Jazzy in the Afrobeats documentary. Because Don Jazzy was trying to survive in London, he had an accident and the car got destroyed. Don Jazzy abandoned the car. He was coming from a show and he fell asleep while driving and crashed his car.
“He left the car, removed the plate number and ran away. Why? Because you would pay more to carry the car away from there than to repair it. But look at Jazzy now, he has fleets of cars.”
Reacting, an 𝕏 user berated Bankulli, expressing fear that the case could be reopened if Don Jazzy were to visit the UK.
The 𝕏 wrote, “With this reckless talk from Bankulli, I really hope Don Jazzy isn’t planning a trip to London. They can reopen a 20-year-old case!.”
In response, Don Jazzy urged his fans not to panic, stressing that he waited for the police, who gave him a breathalyser to determine if he was drunk.
He explained that the police impounded his car despite confirming that he was not drunk.
Don Jazzy said he abandoned the car with the authorities because the fine to retrieve it was higher than the car’s value.
He wrote, “Lol no panic. It’s been so long, so he doesn’t remember the story exactly. I actually waited for the police. They came and gave me a breathalyser to determine if I was drunk. I wasn’t, but the car was impounded. The fine to collect the car back was more than the cheap car, so I left it with them lol.”
