Nigerian music mogul and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has taken a firm public stand against an impersonator who was using his name and image to promote a fraudulent online giveaway. The incident, which unfolded on social media, prompted the celebrated producer to issue a direct warning to the account handler.
A Direct Confrontation on Social Media
On December 7, 2025, Don Jazzy shared a screenshot from a fake account that had cloned his identity. The impersonating account was actively inviting unsuspecting fans to participate in a fake giveaway scheme. Using his verified social media handle, Don Jazzy confronted the individual directly.
He addressed the handler with a mix of caution and clarity, writing: “Good evening sir/ma. Don’t you see how using my name and image on this account looks dodgy. You can do your giveaways with your own name and pic if you really want to help people.” He concluded his message with a stern admonition, “Don’t say they are bullying you if you get arrested o. I come in peace.”

The public reaction to Don Jazzy's post was swift and supportive. Many social media users expressed their relief at being alerted to the scam, while others called for stricter action.
One user, @Rulerboy, commented: “People get mind sha. And I don drop acct tire under that page. Never knew it’s fake. @DONJAZZY God bless u for opening my eye on this.” Another, @QueenMira37, urged: “Please i beg you sir, arrest the handler of that account, maybe that would serve as a lesson to the rest of them using celebrity names to do fake giveaways.”
The incident sparked a broader conversation about online safety and the prevalence of impersonation scams targeting popular figures in Nigeria.
