“My dear friend and fellow Producer Jazimoto (Jasmine Morris) just lost her family home in Altadena, California due to the ongoing fire,” he explained in the caption. “She’s a classically trained Pianist and Violinist and has worked with M.O.P. and recently our joint album with @teflon_m.o.p ‘2 Sides To Every Story.’ Her Father is renowned Jazz artist Wilbur Morris and her 80 year old Mom is Mari Morris, a former art professor.”

Premier continued: “Not only did the fire claim her home, she lost all of her musical instruments, computers, a massive record collection including a piano gifted to her by her Dad. I put a GoFundMe link in my bio. Any contribution is appreciated. Extreme prayers up for everyone going through this chaos.” Fans have been sharing plenty of supportive messages in the comments section.

As for the GoFundMe, the page is looking to raise $150,000 but has only met $3,984 of its goal. It mentions that Jazimoto has lost her instruments, records, and other equipment as well as years’ worth of music archives. Premier recently collaborated with Jazimoto on the 2023 album, 2 Sides to Every Story. Check out DJ Premier’s post on Instagram about the fire below.
