Music executive and producer Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, has spoken about how repeated rejection from female classmates during his secondary school years affected his confidence and self-esteem.
Speaking on an episode of the Keeping It Real With Jima podcast, Don Jazzy admitted that he did not consider himself attractive while growing up and often faced rejection from girls he tried to approach for relationships.
According to him, the experience had a lasting psychological effect that followed him into adulthood.
Don Jazzy explained that after achieving success in the music industry, he decided to reconnect with some of the girls who had rejected him as a way of overcoming the emotional impact of those experiences.
He, however, noted that most of them were already married by the time he found them.
“I wasn’t good-looking during my secondary school days. Thank God for music because back then I was constantly being rejected by girls. But after I became successful, I went back to look for all the girls who rejected me. Almost all of them were already married,” he said.
The music executive added that reconnecting with his former schoolmates and seeing how much he had achieved helped him gradually heal from the emotional wounds caused by the rejections.
