Rema Celebrates Don Jazzy’s Legacy With Emotional Tribute At MSG Concert In New York

Nigerian artist Rema, whose real name is Divine Okubor, took a moment during his performance at Madison Square Garden in New York to honor music mogul Michael Collins Ajereh, better known as Don Jazzy, in front of a captivated audience.

As the music industry continues to recognize influential figures who deserve appreciation for their contributions, Rema made sure that Don Jazzy, a well-known figure in Nigeria, received the recognition he deserves on an international stage.

A video of the heartfelt tribute circulated on social media, capturing the moment Don Jazzy joined Rema on stage. When Don Jazzy attempted to leave, Rema called for him to stay, before addressing the massive crowd, highlighting the producer’s immense influence.

The 24-year-old singer took the opportunity to express his gratitude, stating that Don Jazzy’s impact on the music industry and on individuals’ careers has been monumental, even though much of it goes unsung.

In his words:

“I want to give you your flowers right in front of these many people… there are so many things you’ve done for the game that you don’t talk about, that people don’t talk about. You have changed so many lives and I just want to say I’m grateful from the bottom of my heart and I love you so much.”
