Nigerian musician, Oluwajuwonlo Iledare, known professionally as Jaywon, has stirred significant reactions with his defense of embattled American singer, Sean John Combs, popularly known as Diddy.
This follows the surfacing of a 2016 video showing Diddy assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, which has generated a massive outcry online.
In a post that surfaced online today, Monday, May 20, 2024, Jaywon argued that many of those criticizing Diddy are doing so without a guilty verdict. He extended his critique to “Yahoo boys,” accusing them of engaging in far worse actions, including ritualistic practices involving their mothers, yet posing as righteous while condemning Diddy. Jaywon expressed hope that no one would face a situation similar to Diddy’s, highlighting the prevalence of hypocrisy in the public’s reaction.
This bold statement has sparked varied responses from Nigerians, with some supporting Jaywon’s perspective and others condemning his comments.
