Don Jazzy Finally Signs CupidSZN After a Four-Year Unseen DM: A Destiny-Driven Rise to Mavin Records
Don Jazzy Signs CupidSZN to Mavin Records: A Four-Year DM, Divine Timing & Destiny’s Grand Finale ✨
The DM That Slept for Four Years
In a story that reads like a Nollywood script with a Grammy-winning soundtrack, 21-year-old singer CupidSZN has officially been unveiled as the newest signee to Mavin Records. The announcement, made by the legendary Don Jazzy himself on November 13, 2025, wasn’t just a label reveal; it was a full-circle testimony of persistence, patience, and the power of divine timing.
It all began with a father’s faith. Four years ago, CupidSZN’s dad slid into Don Jazzy’s DMs with a simple message: “Sir, please listen to my son’s music.” The message, like thousands of others, went unseen. Don Jazzy later admitted, “I get over 1,000 DMs daily. That one just got buried.” But God, as they say, had a plan.
Fast-forward to 2025. CupidSZN—real name Samuel Chukwuebuka—had spent those four years in the trenches. No shortcuts. No viral gimmicks. Just pure grind: writing in dimly lit rooms, recording in makeshift studios, releasing his debut EP Love & Chaos independently, and building a cult following on TikTok and Instagram with soulful covers and original heartbreak anthems.
From Unseen DM to Mavin’s Golden Mic
The breakthrough came in October 2025
. A mutual friend played CupidSZN’s latest single, “Heart on Pause,” at a Lagos listening session. Don Jazzy, mid-conversation, stopped everything. “Who is this?” he asked. Within 48 hours, the Mavin team tracked down the young artist. When they finally met, Don Jazzy pulled up the old DM on his phone—still sitting in the request folder, timestamped 2021.
“I laughed, then I cried,” Don Jazzy shared in his emotional announcement video. “This boy’s father believed in him when no one else did. And now, four years later, God said ‘It’s time.’”
He continued: “CupidSZN is not just talented—he’s disciplined. He didn’t wait for a co-sign. He built his sound, his brand, his story. This is what Mavin stands for: real artists, real journeys, real legacy.”
CupidSZN: The Voice Behind the Name
Born in Owerri, raised between Enugu and Lagos, CupidSZN grew up harmonizing in church choirs and writing poetry in secondary school notebooks. His stage name—CupidSZN—isn’t just catchy; it’s a mission statement. “I make music for every season of love,” he told Pulse Nigeria. “The highs, the heartbreaks, the healing—love never ends, it just changes seasons.”
His sound? A silky blend of Afrobeats, R&B, and alté—think Johnny Drille’s vulnerability, Omah Lay’s melancholy, and Rema’s global swagger, all wrapped in a voice that feels like velvet over heartbreak. Tracks like “4AM in Surulere” and “Ghostin’ (Interlude)” have already racked up 2.5 million streams independently.
The Official Welcome: Mavin Family Grows
The signing ceremony was pure Mavin magic. Held at the label’s sleek Lekki headquarters, CupidSZN walked in wearing a simple white tee and a smile that could power Lagos for a week. Don Jazzy handed him the golden Mavin mic—symbol of every artist who’s ever joined the family: Wande Coal, Tiwa Savage, Korede Bello, Ayra Starr, Crayon, Johnny Drille, Ladipoe, Magixx, Bayanni, Lifesize Teddy—and now, CupidSZN.
“Welcome home, bro,” Don Jazzy said, pulling him into a bear hug as Rema and Ayra Starr cheered in the background. A cake shaped like a broken heart (with wings) sat on the table—symbolizing love’s pain and its power to fly.
Fans, Titans & Titans-in-Waiting Explode Online
The internet did what it does best: broke.
• “From DM to Mavin in 4 years?? This is PERSISTENCE 101"
• “Don Jazzy just signed the next Johnny Drille of heartbreak anthems. I’m seated.”

His first post as a Mavin artist—a simple photo holding the contract with the caption “4 years in the DMs. 1 second to change my life.
Thank You Jesus✨”—hit 500K likes in 3 hours. The #CupidSZNxMavin hashtag trended No. 1 in Nigeria, with fans already demanding a collab with Ayra Starr or Lifesize Teddy.

Don Jazzy has already teased a debut Mavin single dropping in Q1 2026, produced by none other than Ozedikus (the genius behind “Dumebi” and “Soweto”). Rumors swirl of a potential CupidSZN x Johnny Drille duet—two heartbreak poets in one studio? The internet might not survive.
There’s also talk of a Mavin All-Stars Tour 2026, with CupidSZN as an opener alongside Crayon and Bayanni. Global stages? Afrobeats to the world? It’s not a dream anymore—it’s the plan.
A Message to Every Dreamer Still in the DMs
CupidSZN’s story isn’t just about music. It’s a masterclass in faith, focus, and follow-through. He didn’t curse the silence. He didn’t chase clout. He built in silence—and destiny amplified the sound.
