It seems that the recent protests against the government’s removal of the fuel subsidy were what it took for Mo’Hits boss Don Jazzy to speak his mind about his decision to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan.
Just yesterday, Tuesday, January 4, 2012, Don Jazzy tweeted that he regretted voting for the ‘current government’.
‘I hardly regret decisions i make. That my 1 vote added to put the current Govt in power is one decision i regret with all my heart’. He continued; ‘What i dont get is if D man we all voted 4 deceived us knowing he would turn out like this or he is not the one leading us. May God help us’.
The hit producer, who is also signed to Kanye West‘s G.O.O.D Music, took to Twitter to clarify the rumours suggesting that he, D’banj or any other person in the Mo’Hits camp sold their votes to the incumbent government at the 2011 polls.
On Thursday March 17, 2011, a pre-recorded video clip of D’banj interviewing President Goodluck aired on Silverbird TV. The interview sparked negative reactions amongst Nigerians.
‘God knows that Govt has not given mohits a penny like i have always told you guys. and i am boldly putting out there for anybody to contest. We all voted for the guy cos at the time we thought and believed he would be the one to move the country forward. my conscience is clear’, he tweeted.
Don Jazzy also let his followers know that it is up to everybody who voted for the incumbent to work together and stop pointing fingers at each other.
‘Na all of us dem wash. only my vote could not ve put him in. so stop laying blames guys and lets solve the problem together as we all voted’, he tweeted.
The Mo’Hits crew recently wrapped up their yearly Koko Concert on Tuesday, December 27, 2011.

Fine the didn’t no Gej wld turn out this way right? Bt did he (don Jazzy) or any of the more hit crew come out to protest cos I was shocked when I saw banky W on the street protesting. Its time these people we all look up to as our entertainers screen the politicians before they sell out their souls to the politicians. Take it or leave it some people voted 4 Gej cos they saw Don Jazzy openly supporting him. God Bless Nigeria
Don jazzy u are a great producer with great personality and for dat I’l alway love u with sentiments..but for d part Mohit played at d last election..it was a betrayal to d ppl dat made u and may u rot in hell for selling out your soul..Fela is cursing u in his grave right now just say amen..I’l also ignore d part of ur statement where u said u u didn’t take anything from d Govt cos dats a blatant lie..Am ashamed of u but will always dance to ur songs till tomoro
No pain no gain. Dats my own on all dis, especially if d govt is gonna be honest wit d implementation. All dis emergency activists shld rather go ocupy d national asembly cos dats where d real guys raping dis country r. Enough of dis playing to d gallery. If dis nu policy ends up creating jobs, bringing about healthy competition dat’ll ultimately bring down d price of fuel reasonably, den am all for it. let us all be reasonable n stop spreading hate n ignorance.
Geez…no offence bt d above comments re hypocritical..he voted 4 GEJ nd so did lotz of oda nigerians his vote alone couldnt place him dere do understand dat…even if he did collect money he is an entertainer 4 cryin out loud his vote alone pulls people to d candidate…if u know anytin about politics den u would also knw dats how it works not just in nigeria bt d world over….and do not rule out d fact dat he jst myt ve voted 4rm d goodness of his heart…lots of nigerians collected stuff frm d govt….be real!

If u talk say u regret voting for him no p but say u no collect money na God go judge u for that and who talk say ben bruce sef clean no be that idiot organise like $200mil for GEJ way them borrow entartainment industry..

hate it when hear peeps insulting gej, cus mst of dem № nothing abt politics, let’s look back when ya adua was dere was *NG* or d nthernals against him? Today he’s dead Τ̣̣ђё northernas dnt want τ̲̅ȍ let gej drink water n rest cus he’s α̲̅ christain n from d minority. D isue f subsidy is τ̲̅ȍ our benifit even if not nw but for d future. For Don Jazzy don’t have Ɣ☺ΰr time.
For those claiming too know,preaching the okonji iweala/sanusi crusade….i must say u lack perspective! Does d federal govt need d money used for petrol subsidy to improve infrastructure n implement change? No! What have they done with the remaining funds available to convince u they will spend the subsidy money judiciously! Truth be told these are tough times globally,but everywhere else u hear of austerity measures,its starts with the govt cutting down d cost of governance,but in Nigeria the POOR must bear the burden of a fragile economy! If 4million naira can be budgeted for newspapers for d vp’s office,then thre is money in Nigeria n d masses will not be cajoled into forfeiting the only thing the govt does for us..FUEL SUBSIDY! All those long term gains wey dem dey talk for radio n tv na BOBO…d same way dem bobo our grandmama,dem bobo our grandpapa…femi kuti don talk am finish! As for donjazzy,dbanj n other greedy entertainers that endorsed him…without proper scruitiny of his manifesto,antecedence n personality…POSTERITY go catch up with them! Nuff said
