    Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has used social media to express gratitude to music mogul Don Jazzy for a recent substantial personal donation.

    Although he did not divulge the amount, VeryDarkMan said the money surpassed anything he had ever received.

    He said, “I stayed in Lagos after the Falana case because I wanted to show my appreciation to Don Jazzy personally for donating to my NGO.

    “Yesterday, I was at his place for the appreciation but while I was there, a number kept calling me on Snapchat. When I picked, the person told me she was being harassed by the police so I had to reach out to the police to assist her.

    “After the call, Don Jazzy looked surprised and asked if that is how I get disturbed to settle matters and I told him yes.

    “While at it, I got his message asking for my personal account details. When I sent it, he sent me a crazy amount of money. This is the money that has never been in my account ever in my life.

    “Then Don Jazzy said the money he sent was mine not for the NGO. I know he won’t like that I’m publicising this so I will not disclose the amount. However, I do care because I like to appreciate people who are deserving. So shout out to you Don Jazzy.”

    The gesture is coming barely a month after Don Jazzy donated a sum of N100 million to VeryDarkMan’s non-governmental organization (NGO).

    Wizkid’s post reads, “Don jazzy!! amazing human!”

    The commendation which was posted on Wizkid’s X handle on Thursday, comes weeks after a public fallout between the two music giants on social media.

    The 32-year-old had shaded Don Jazzy following a controversial post by Ladipoe, a Mavin Records signee, who seemed to mock Wizkid’s statement that “hip hop is dead.”

    After a fan brought the post to Wizkid’s attention, he responded by saying, “Lol, never chatting with anyone signed to an influencer. Next.”

    He further retweeted two posts hinting that Don Jazzy, head of Mavin Records, was merely an influencer.

    In response, Don Jazzy unfollowed Wizkid on Instagram, signaling a rift between the two of them.

    However, it seems the disagreement between the duo has been resolved, as evidenced by Don Jazzy’s recent show of gratitude towards Grammy award singer for endorsing Mavin star Ayra Starr’s sophomore album, ‘The Year I Turned 21.’
