Adekunle Gold shares the DMs he sent to Don Jazzy 9 years ago to beg for a job as a graphics artist

Adekunle Gold is now a successful musician in his own right, but only 9 years ago, he was on Twitter begging Don Jazzy for a job and he has now shared the messages he sent to the record label boss to encourage people who are still struggling.

The Ire singer has been sending out mails to his followers with words of encouragement. A mail he sent to one Twitter user to encourage her included screenshots of the DMs he sent to Don Jazzy 9 years ago, begging him to be the graphics artist for Mo'Hits.

In the DM, Adekunle Gold called Don Jazzy "Dad" and "Mohit Lord" all in a bid to get employed. He told Don Jazzy that he's a "graphic artist of magnitude" and begged to be employed as the "official album art designer of Mohit stars"

He also consistently sent links to Don Jazzy, begging him to listen and share some songs.

Adekunle Gold said he recently rediscovered the chats when he tried to send Don Jazzy a DM this year and he was so embarrassed. He said, "I wanted the ground to swallow me."

Operators seek tax holiday, subsidy to save airlines Worried by the fate that awaits local carriers, operators yesterday, appealed to the Federal Government to introduce some economic recovery measures to safeguard airlines from collapse. The operators, currently burdened by recurrent costs, are seeking aviation intervention fund at an interest rate of not more than five per cent.
