Nigerian singer, Bigiano, has shared his biggest career regret on a recent episode of the ‘One One’ podcast.
The singer, whose real name is Babalola Oluwagbemiga Gabriel, revealed that he turned down an offer to join Mo’Hits Records, a renowned record label co-founded by Don Jazzy.
Bigiano’s hit song “Shayo” was at its peak in 2010 when Don Jazzy extended the offer. Despite the label’s potential to boost his career, Bigiano declined, feeling confident in his success as an independent artist. He now regrets this decision, acknowledging the support and opportunities Mo’Hits could have provided.
Speaking on the podcast, Bigiano expressed his regret, stating “This is going to make me teary, but I dare not. When ‘Shayo’ was at its prime, my friend D’banj introduced and handed me over to Sunday Are. That should be 2010.
“They invited me to Mo’Hits mansion, Bankuli took me there. When we go there, D’banj, Don Jazzy, and Sunday Are were all around. I think Wande Coal was also around. And then Don Jazzy asked me, ‘Do you want to join Mo’Hits?’ Instead of me saying ‘yes,’ the little mind that feels he has arrived as an independent artist with hit songs said ‘No.’
“If I had accepted the offer, that would have been a big turnaround for my career because the Mo’Hits crew were very supportive. I regretted the decision.”
