Social media influencer, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has disclosed that Mavin Records boss, Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, is the mystery donor behind the ₦100 million contribution to his newly established Non-Governmental Organisation.
VeryDarkMan, who announced that the NGO will focus on community development and improving public schools, initially raised concerns in a video on his Instagram account, questioning the large deposit and requesting an investigation by Zenith Bank.
He posted: “@zenithbankplc, please investigate my NGO account. I don’t know what is going on, hope I’m not being set up… I AM NOT INTO MONEY LAUNDERING, I DO NOT DO FRAUD (FOR THE RECORD). Nigerians, bear me witness, I don’t know what’s up with the account.”
But, in a new video released on Thursday, VeryDarkMan confirmed that Don Jazzy had reached out to inform him that he made the donation to support the cause.
He said: “Guys, yesterday I posted that I received ₦100m in my account. I did not receive an alert. I just saw that the money had increased from ₦70m to ₦170m plus.
“I panicked because I didn’t expect anybody to just send me ₦100m like that, so I thought it was a glitch or maybe someone wanted to set me up, because people had been sending ₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500 and so on, and it’s understandable for me to panic.
“After contacting everyone I knew to find out who might have sent the money, I eventually received a message from Don Jazzy.”
The message reads: “Morning bro. Just saw your post. Na me send ₦100m to support. I believe in what you are doing and trust you to be as transparent as you have always been. We really need that in our country. I wish you all the best with the project and more blessings to you. It’s not easy.”
As a result of the revelation, Don Jazzy started trending on the X platform, with many netizens commending his generosity and offering prayers for the music producer.
VeryDarkMan also reiterated his commitment to transparency, promising to continue posting updates about the funds raised.
He disclosed that the NGO had already received ₦179 million just five days after its launch.
