- Singer Bigiano regrets declining Don Jazzy’s offer to join Mo’Hits Records during his peak success with “Shayo.”
- Bigiano declined the offer to maintain his artistic independence, stating that he had already achieved success independently.
Nigerian singer Bigiano has opened up about a major decision he now regrets in his music career—turning down an offer to join Don Jazzy’s iconic Mo’Hits Records at the peak of his success.
Bigiano, who rose to fame with his hit single “Shayo,” revealed that Don Jazzy extended an invitation for him to join the influential label, which at the time boasted some of the biggest names in Nigerian music, including D’banj and Wande Coal.
At the time, Bigiano declined the offer, choosing instead to maintain his independence. He believed he had already carved out a successful path and wanted to continue building his career on his own terms.
However, in hindsight, the singer now acknowledges that joining Mo’Hits could have been a game-changer. He admitted that the label’s strong support system and its roster of successful artists might have propelled him to even greater heights.
He said: “This is going to make me teary, but I dare not. When ‘Shayo’ was at its prime, my friend D’banj introduced me and handed me over to Sunday Are. That should be 2010.
“They invited me to Mo’Hits mansion, Bankuli took me there. When we go there, D’banj, Don Jazzy, and Sunday Are were all around. I think Wande Coal was also around. And then Don Jazzy asked me, ‘Do you want to join Mo’Hits?’ Instead of me saying ’yes,’ the little mind that feels he has arrived as an independent artist with hit songs said ‘No.’
“If I had accepted the offer, that would have been a big turnaround for my career because the Mo’Hits crew were very supportive. I regretted the decision.”
