Recalling his encounter with the CEO of Mavin records, Kaywa said the first-class treatment that was given to him by Don Jazzy in Nigeria was off the hook.
Asked if he was paid well, Kaywa said “he made me feel like a king; I was even afraid at a point. He gave me the best hotels, provided everything I needed and paid me well. He was even thinking the money he was paying was too little so he gave it to Dr Sid to give to me…” he said to Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz.

According to Kaywa, “you can work so well or hard and you won’t get that kind of money; they opened [sic] my eyes in the business.’
Kaywa urged industry players to pay attention to the lucrative aspect of the music industry.
‘We don’t look at the business aspects of us and that makes it difficult to get investors. In Nigeria, there are a lot of investors…” he maintained.
