Mavin Records boss Don Jazzy has laughed off a report that the Department of State Services (DSS) recently quizzed him and his former label signee Tiwa Savage.
According to a report by SaharaReporters, the duo were invited to the DSS office in Lagos a fortnight ago for alleged utterances against the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Tiwa Savage now signed to Universal Music was reportedly warned to stop her movement on Twitter known as “WeAreTired”, calling for more action on stopping rape incidents and police brutality in the country.
Her Twitter movement followed the rape and killing of a student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) Uwa Omozuwa in May in a Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) parish in Edo State, and the ‘accidental’ shooting and eventual death of a 17-year-old girl Tina Ezekwe by the police in Iyana Oworo area of Lagos also in May.
Don Jazzy on his part was also reportedly cautioned against his anti-Buhari social media posts.
However, the music executive in a video posted on Twitter on Wednesday laughed off the report, asking “What’s the meaning of quizzes?”
He also told a concerned fan that he was 100 per cent fine.
The online news platform further reported that Don Jazzy and Tiwa alongside singers Yemi Alade and Waje were also summoned by the former Lagos State Commissioner of Police Zubairu Muazu.
They were allegedly warned to desist from political comments in order not to incur the wrath of the Buhari administration.
The platform quoted an unnamed source in Tiwa Savage’s management team as confirming the incident.
The source reportedly said Tiwa who recently dropped her album Celia remained adamant in stopping her call for accountability on the part of the government.
Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade and Waje had not responded to the report at press time.
