Bigiano Regrets Turning Down Don Jazzy’s Mo’Hits Offer

 Nigerian singer Bigiano has opened up about a pivotal decision that haunts him, revealing that rejecting an offer to join Don Jazzy’s Mo’Hits Records remains his biggest regret. The confession offers a rare glimpse into the high-stakes choices that shape music careers.

In a May 2025 podcast interview, Bigiano, best known for his 2008 hit Shayo, disclosed that Don Jazzy, the legendary producer and founder of Mo’Hits, approached him during the label’s peak in the late 2000s. Mo’Hits, home to stars like D’banj and Wande Coal, was a powerhouse in Nigerian music, and the offer represented a chance to join an elite roster. Bigiano, confident in his solo prospects, declined, believing he could achieve similar success independently. He admitted that this decision, driven by youthful ambition, limited his career trajectory, as Mo’Hits’ platform could have amplified his reach.

The revelation has sparked discussions about the music industry’s competitive landscape, where strategic alliances often determine longevity. Bigiano reflected on the challenges of sustaining relevance without a strong label, citing financial and promotional hurdles. 

He praised Don Jazzy’s foresight, noting that the producer’s subsequent ventures, like Mavin Records, have continued to shape Afrobeats globally. Fans have expressed empathy, with some urging Bigiano to collaborate with modern labels to revive his career. The story underscores the importance of mentorship and timing in Nigeria’s fast-evolving music scene, where a single choice can alter an artist’s legacy.
