Nigerian music executive, Michael Collins Ajereh, widely known as Don Jazzy, has broken his silence in response to the recent remarks made by his colleague, Wizkid, stirring up a wave of controversy in the music industry.
Earlier today, Monday, April 29, 2024, Wizkid sparked uproar with disparaging comments aimed at Don Jazzy. The Star Boy executive launched a verbal attack targeting not only the Mavin boss but also his signee, Ladipoe and fellow Afrobeats star, Davido. Wizkid labeled Don Jazzy as an “influencer” after a fan prompted him to share his thoughts on Ladipoe’s recent commentary regarding the Afrobeats genre.
In his response, Wizkid dismissed Ladipoe’s relevance, asserting that he did not merit his attention as he is signed to an “influencer” – referencing Don Jazzy. Following the online altercation, a check on their Instagram profiles revealed that Don Jazzy has since unfollowed Wizkid.
The development shows the escalation of tensions between the two prominent figures in the Nigerian music scene, signaling a potential rift in their professional relationship. Fans and industry observers are closely monitoring the situation, awaiting further developments and potential reconciliations amidst the unfolding drama.
