Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage has revealed that she initially disliked Mavin Records’ hit song “Dorobucci” when she first heard it. Speaking in an interview with NotJustOk, she said Don Jazzy played the early version of the track in a hotel in Dubai during her wedding, and she thought it sounded terrible. Tiwa admitted she didn’t understand the direction of the song and questioned its potential.
Her opinion changed after she returned to Nigeria and heard the final version in the studio. She said she was surprised by how much the track had evolved and was frustrated by how often her instincts about songs were wrong. Tiwa also revealed she was the last of the Mavin artists to record her verse because she remained unsure about the song. Despite her initial doubts, “Dorobucci” became a major hit across Africa, and she later praised Don Jazzy’s creative vision.
