Mavin Records founder Don Jazzy has opened up about the spontaneous origin of the 2014 hit single ‘Dorobucci’, tracing its roots to a fun persona he adopted at Tiwa Savage’s wedding in Dubai.
In a recent interview on the Crea8torium podcast, the producer explained that while dressed in a suit for the occasion, he introduced himself to guests as Don Dorobucci.
According to him, the name circulated among guests and later gained wider attention after he posted a freestyle on Instagram.
He said: “We went to Tiwa’s wedding in Dubai but then I was wearing suit and anytime I am wearing suit i just normally introduce myself to people with an Italian name. In this wedding, I was telling everybody I am Don Dorobucci so Tiwa was like which one is Don DorobuccI. Everybody I met was like hello make way for don Dorobucci so as they started complaining which kind of name is that I’m like I’ll use it and make a song when you sing it”.
“Then I did the freestyle on instagram singing Dorobucci and people just started doing a challenge to it and I am like what is going on we came back to Nigeria I saw bunch of people doing the challenge and I just created a song to it”, he added.
