Music executive, Michael Collins Ajereh, often known as Don Jazzy, recently advised fans on how to deal with critics.
He emphasised that when they were struggling, critics didn’t care about them, so he urged them not to let criticism upset them once they achieved their goals.
He claims it is a type of diversion to pay heed to critics.
On his X handle on Saturday, May 18, Don Jazzy wrote:
“Nobody gives a f*ck about you when you are suffering and grinding. If you give a f*ck about what people think about you when you make it, then you didn’t learn shit in the come-up and will be back suffering in no time.”
“Worrying about what people think about you in your grinding phase and your made phase is a distraction.”
Recall that, Don Jazzy recently celebrated MAVIN Records‘ 12th anniversary on social media with an emotional post.
