Nigerian music executive Michael Collins Ajereh, widely known as Don Jazzy, has shared how repeated rejection from girls during his secondary school years left a lasting emotional impact on him.

Speaking on the Keeping It Real With Jima podcast, the renowned music producer revealed that the experience was so painful that it affected him psychologically well into adulthood. According to Don Jazzy, the trauma lingered even after he achieved fame and success in the entertainment industry.

He further disclosed that, in an effort to overcome the emotional scars, he later sought out some of the girls who had rejected him during his school days. The move, he explained, was part of his journey toward healing and confronting the insecurities those experiences had created.

“I wasn’t good-looking during my secondary school days. Thank God for music because back then I was constantly being rejected by girls. But after I became successful, I went back to look for all the girls who rejected me. But almost all of them were already married,” he revealed.
