Nigerian music executive Michael Collins Ajereh, better known as Don Jazzy, has opened up about dealing with rejection, revealing that repeated rejections from girls during his secondary school years left him traumatised.
Speaking on the Keeping It Real With Jima podcast, the music producer said the experience stayed with him for years and continued to affect him psychologically into adulthood.
He said that after finding success and becoming famous, he decided to track down the girls who had rejected him as a way of dealing with the emotional impact.
“I wasn’t good-looking during my secondary school days. Thank God for music because back then I was constantly being rejected by girls. But after I became successful, I went back to look for all the girls who rejected me. But almost all of them were already married,” he revealed.
