Popular Nigerian music executive Don Jazzy has once again captured the attention of fans online, this time with a humorous video recounting an unexpected encounter with a food vendor.
Shared via his verified Instagram page, the Mavin Records CEO narrated a light-hearted yet cautionary tale about why he now avoids accepting gifts from people.
In the video, Don Jazzy explained that he had been minding his business when a food vendor generously offered him a free plate of Nkwobi—a popular Nigerian delicacy. Grateful and unsuspecting, he gladly accepted the meal and enjoyed it thoroughly. However, what seemed like a kind gesture quickly turned into an awkward demand.
According to him, the same food vendor later approached him with an unexpected request: in exchange for the Nkwobi, she wanted access to his top artiste, Rema. Don Jazzy burst into laughter as he recounted the boldness of the request, expressing disbelief at how a simple food gift escalated into a demand for a high-profile music connection.
Concluding his story, Don Jazzy jokingly warned his followers not to give him gifts anymore, as he no longer wants to find himself in such tricky situations. The video, filled with his signature wit and expressive storytelling, has since gone viral, with fans and fellow celebrities flooding the comment section with laughter and amusement.
The incident has sparked conversations online about the cultural expectations tied to gift-giving, especially among celebrities, and how such gestures can sometimes come with strings attached.
In his words; “Okay guys, we need to talk about this — this is exactly why I don’t like collecting free stuff.
You’re selling nkwobi, then out of nowhere you give me free nkwobi. I didn’t ask o, but you insisted. I accept it, eat it, enjoy it.
Now suddenly, you want me to return the favour — you’re asking me to give you Rema? Because of free nkwobi? How does that even add up?
It’s the exchange rate for me! 😂
Please, nobody should give me gifts again. I’m not interested. Thanks and goodbye.”
