Music producer Don Jazzy has responded to a resurfaced story about an incident he had with UK police many years ago, after his former associate, Bankulli, shared a version of the event at a recent gathering.

Bankulli had claimed that Don Jazzy was involved in an accident in London during his early hustle days, removed the car’s plate number, and ran off when police arrived because the cost of retrieving the damaged car was higher than fixing it.

He said Don Jazzy had fallen asleep while driving home from a show, crashed the vehicle, and decided to abandon it entirely. His story stirred reactions online, including fears from an X user who suggested the case could be reopened if Don Jazzy travelled to the UK now.

Responding, Don Jazzy corrected the narrative and urged everyone to relax. According to him, he didn’t run from the police. He said he actually waited for them at the scene, took a breathalyser test to confirm he wasn’t drunk, and the officers later impounded the car. He explained that the only reason he left the vehicle with authorities was because the fine to retrieve it was higher than the car’s worth.

His words: “Lol no panic. It’s been so long, so he doesn’t remember the story exactly. I actually waited for the police. They came and gave me a breathalyser to determine if I was drunk. I wasn’t, but the car was impounded. The fine to collect the car back was more than the cheap car, so I left it with them lol.”
