In a bold but thoughtful clapback, former Big Brother Naija housemate Uriel Oputa has offered some relationship wisdom to Afrobeats powerhouse Don Jazzy, who recently confessed that staying loyal to one woman is a challenge he hasn’t quite mastered.
During an episode of The Nancy Isime Show, Don Jazzy—known for his hit-making genius and signature humor—got surprisingly candid about his dating life: “I don’t think I’m built for one person … even when I’m in a relationship, that doesn’t stop me from admiring someone else.”
The internet buzzed with reactions, but it was Uriel’s response that truly stirred the pot—and the conversation.
“Try a Different Type of Woman” — Uriel’s Sharp Take
Speaking on Outside The Box Podcast, Uriel didn’t mince words: “I love Don Jazzy, but when he said he’s unable to be sexually committed to one woman, it boils down to the type of women he goes for. If I see him, I will tell him to try a different type of woman.”
Her message? Maybe it’s not about Don Jazzy being “incapable” of commitment—it’s about reassessing the quality and depth of the women he dates.
Beyond the Surface: Dating for Substance
Uriel went further, critiquing a widespread problem in Nigeria’s dating culture: “A lot of men in Nigeria don’t date for substance. They date based on looks. That’s why they can’t stay with one woman—because there’s no depth.”
To her, many relationships are doomed from the start because they’re built on physical appeal rather than emotional alignment or shared values.
Uriel’s Relationship Reset Checklist:
Date for character, not just curves
Focus on mental, spiritual, and emotional connection
Stop recycling the same ‘type’ and expecting a different result
Monogamy isn’t about biology—it’s about choice and compatibility
Why Her Comment Struck a Nerve
Uriel’s advice isn’t just personal—it taps into a larger societal issue. Nigerian pop culture often glamorizes surface-level romance and high-aesthetic pairings. However, in the long run, a genuine partnership requires Don Jazzy’s comments. Rather than painting him as hopelessly unfaithful, it challenges him to audit his love life like he audits a beat—carefully, purposefully, and with the goal of harmony.
Real Talk for Real Men
Uriel’s commentary feels less like shade and more like mentorship. She’s pushing one of Nigeria’s most admired figures to take accountability—not just for his choices, but for the messages he sends to the millions who look up to him.
Because if Don Jazzy—a man known for excellence in the studio—applies that same attention to detail in his relationships, who knows? Commitment might just become his next big hit.
Final Thought: “It’s not about changing yourself—it’s about changing what you accept,” Uriel implies.
And maybe, just maybe, love will hit the right note when you stop playing the same old song.
