Why Mavins didn’t attend VGMA 2015 – Don Jazzy

Don Jazzy and the entire Mavin crew were absent at the 2015 VGMA that was held in Accra, Ghana on Saturday night, April 11, 2015.

The Mavins were nominated in the Best African Artiste category alongside Yemi Alade, AKA, Diamond Platnumz and others, but lost to dancehall act, Patoranking.

When asked by a fan on Twitter why he was absent at the awards, Don Jazzy was blunt and straight to the point – he said the organisers couldn’t fly his entire team of 10 members to Ghana.

He tweeted that elections in his home state Delta State is also one of the reasons he could not make it to Ghana for the VGMA's
