About Bammby
Bammby is a dating app announced by Nigerian record producer and music executive Don Jazzy, whose legal name is Collins Ajereh. Vanguard and TheCable reported that he unveiled it in an Instagram post on 26 November 2024, his 42nd birthday, and asked followers to download "Bammby Dating" from the Apple and Android stores. TheCable reported that he said he had worked on the app for three years.
Press coverage at launch described a matching system that studies users' answers to suggest compatible partners rather than relying on random swiping, plus a "ghost mode" that lets users stay anonymous. Business Elites Africa also listed a paid private subscription tier, raffle draws and a free one-year subscription for the first 1,000 users. The current Google Play listing describes it as an AI-powered app that uses verified identities, and says users are matched by interests, preferences and a "class" tied to their subscription plan. Both app store listings carry mature-content age ratings.
The store listings name different publishers. The Apple listing shows Remedy Network LTD as seller, with a copyright line for Bammby LLC. Google Play shows Robotic Systems and gives a Lagos, Nigeria address. This profile does not state which legal entity owns the product, and no funding details were found. Dating Industry Insights has framed Bammby as a test of whether a celebrity-led launch can build lasting engagement in Nigeria and the diaspora.
