‘It’s so sad’ – Don Jazzy on Nigerians not being receptive to female musicians

Don Jazzy, a veteran record producer and music executive, believes that Nigerians are not open to female performers.

The Mavin Records CEO expressed regret that, despite their hard work, Nigerians do not consume as much music from female artists as they do from male artists.

A netizen with the X handle @Lahon199x expressed worry over the situation, claiming that Nigerian female artists had a better chance of becoming global A-listers than in Nigeria.

The X user said that "Nigerians in general are still not receptive to female music."

"You will see women dominating or at least equal to males in other countries' music industries.

"But in Nigeria?"Our female artistes have a better chance of becoming A-list globally than in Nigeria."

Don Jazzy reposted his tweet, writing, "And it's really sad. The women put in so much work."
