Mavin Records founder Don Jazzy has claimed he can afford to purchase a private jet or any luxury car of his choice but he deliberately avoids such extravagances in favor of investments, self-development, and supporting others.
During an interview with Habby FX, the producer and music executive stressed that material displays of wealth pale in comparison to building sustainable value.
According to him, he has been financially positioned for years to acquire top-tier vehicles or even a private jet, yet views these as distractions from priorities that matter more.
“I’ve been blessed enough for a long time to be able to afford any type of car I want or even buy a private jet. But I have more important things to take care of. Nothing beats investment,” he said.
Investment, he stated, remains unmatched in importance and comes in various forms, including personal growth.
Don Jazzy encouraged youths to prioritise practical abilities over conventional career paths, noting that the rise of the internet and AI threatens many traditional jobs.
“The forex that I’m learning now is an investment in myself. Tomorrow, it’s going to turn into something a skill I can use. Don’t just be useless. Go and acquire some skill,” he said.
He argued that aspiring to be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer is no longer the only route.
“You don’t have to be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. In this internet and AI age, a lot of jobs will disappear. Why not learn something tangible?
“Even carpentry or furniture making, we still import tables and chairs from Turkey and China. If we had skilled people here, we could produce those things ourselves,” he said.
