See 6 videos that prove Don Jazzy has turned Mavin artistes to comedians

Don Jazzy shed his previously associated Vito Corleone-esque persona for the friendlier,
less stoic, very accessible character he now displays following the unfortunate collapse of Mo’Hits Records. But one thing many will observe  happens to be the generously amusing persona that tags along with the Don like his now-discarded cane. On social media, that humorous side comes to bear in hilarious one-liners, memes, quips and skits, and it’s no surprise that he’s one of the most followed Nigerian celebrities. But  a more interesting fact is the way that persona has been transferred to
 Mavin Records artistes; Tiwa Savage, Dr. SID, D’Prince, Korede Bello, Reekado Banks, and Di’ja—they all have taken on a humorous side and could rival some A-list acts in a stand-up comedy battle.

Here are the six videos where Don Jazzy turned his singers to competent
comedians:

1. Mungo Park

Comedians sometimes delve into self-deprecating skits touching on their
own failings, weaknesses, inadequacies, depressing childhood or
dysfunctional family structure, while sending ribs-a-cracking. Julius
‘D’Genius’ Agwu called kids to mock his marital status in the early
2000s with the question: When will you marry? Don Jazzy becomes the butt
 of the joke as Korede Bello takes a dig at his label boss.
Interestingly, Korede Bello also lampoons his nosey self- oga poke
noser, shey you wan’ discover Mungo Park?

2. Oga Titus

Don Jazzy débuted his Judge Jazzy character via instagram skits and
memes that flooded his twitter timeline; the hilarious memes were him
pushing his comic brand, doubling on the successes of his newly-found
persona. On Oga Titus, Judge Jazzy, a character in D’Prince’s (who tells
 the joke) humorous video, sentences a dubious couple to 100 years
imprisonment; the male suspect- Imeh Bishop- with N263.95 manages to
live large with his shoplifting girlfriend before the long arms of Judge
 Jazzy catch up with them. One isn’t sure if Oga Titus was named after
the movie featuring Mr. Ibu, as the cover art shows and the subsequent
2015 movie, but one could care less while laughing out loud.


3. Kabiyesi

Judge Jazzy returns as character in Kabiyesi to adjudicate over Dr. Sid
and Frank Donga’s case. When two hungry perhaps unemployed (given
Donga’s lucklessness in finding a job) men etch a plan to find
sustenance, they fail at the first plot. But when they return in stolen
royal garbs, storming one owambe after another sun shines on their path.
 Not long before the testosterone-driven Dr. Sid flirts with a bride and
 they are bundled before Judge Jazzy.

4. Sugar Baby

What do you do when your first comic outing fails to amuse and the
joke’s on you? You re-strategize, read the handbook your label boss
penned in his hey days as a young comedian. That’s what Reekado Banks
did when his glasses wearing-Mr. Latin character on Corner was
short-lived. He found a rather amusing character in the hopeless
romantic frame on Sugar Baby. Yes, he got the girl in Corner and after
breaking up with her, she decides to sabotage his plan of finding new
love even involving the ever amorous Adekunle Gold. And while at it;
infuse lyrics with homour-tinged children song with Don Jazzy doing ad
libs.

5. Take Kiss

For Hadiza Salma Blell’s transformation from an urban-winning songstress
 who grew up on Marvin Gaye, Tracy Chapman, Dianna Ross, MJB, to one
possessing shtick to rival the best of comediennes in the land, she had
to test the bubblegum pop waters. That Di’Ja had to resort to music for
the postpubescents with Don Jazzy’s call to “take kiss” is far from what
 brings the amusement, but Di’Ja’s character and others involved present
 material for laughter. In the colourful video, her character has a WTF
face not impressed by the kiss of one, and totally rejects another;
could halitosis, absence of skill or unattractiveness (on the kisser’s
part) be responsible? Another gets his cheek slapped either for the same
 concerns or being forward. NB: Yhem yhem isn’t for everybody!



6. Eminado

Asinamali-inspired video introduces us to the humorous life of Tiwa
Savage ably assisted by the don himself. Don Jazzy takes up Super Ted,
Shrek, Barney costumes, and a pipe-smoking aristocrat persona who
attempts to woo a blushing Tiwa Savage with his “money in the bank”;
then runs behind her making faces while she playfully entertains on the
drums, violin and guitar. Four Tiwa Savages are playful in the studio;
three Tiwa Savages appear on stage reminiscent of Outcast’s Hey Ya
