It will be recalled that a former Mavin record signee, Reekado Banks, disclosed what transpired between him and his former boss, Don Jazzy, after he left the label.

Speaking in a podcast with media personality Ifedayo Olarinde, aka Daddy Freeze, Reekado said:

"That man took me from absolutely nothing. I wonder why people would think that there was a problem. There never was. Everything was amicable. The end of the contract came, I wanted to leave and he gave me his blessings. I feel it is a tradition in the industry for artists to break out angrily from a record label, and I feel that is being imposed on our relationship."
