Nigerian music powerhouse Michael Collins Ajereh, widely recognized as Don Jazzy, peeled back the layers on his romantic expectations during a lively chat on the Is This Seat Taken podcast. At 43, the influential producer and label boss didn’t hold back, outlining a clear set of traits he values in a potential companion while touching on the reasons behind his ongoing single status.
Don Jazzy kicked off his list with a playful yet firm priority: a sense of excitement and openness in intimacy. He described this as essential, ranking it above other qualities. Next, he highlighted the importance of gentleness, both physically and in demeanor, painting a picture of someone who brings calm rather than conflict. He was adamant about avoiding any form of tension or aggression, explaining that such elements would promptly end any budding connection, leaving no room for reconciliation.
During the interview, he said,
“My ideal woman for dating in order of importance, first of all, you have to be a freak. I don’t know how I found that out but it is one. Secondly, you have to be soft both body and personality. Because I’d you shout at me, you are dating yourself. I don’t like stress. I don’t tolerate stress and violence. The moment you try to be nonchalant or violent, you will not see me again. You will just realise that you are dating yourself,”
