Nigerian singer Jaywon reveals that he’s not on good terms with his colleague, Ayra Starr.

Their fallout started from a viral photo where Ayra Starr is seen subtly holding Jaywon’s hand as though to keep him from touching her waist.

This picture have become fuel for online trolls who began mocking Jaywon, sparking an issue he believes could have been handled better.

In a recent interview with News Central, Jaywon opened up about his disappointment with how Ayra Starr and her team responded, or rather, didn’t respond, to the situation.

According to him, he didn’t expect things to spiral like this, especially as his intentions were simply to show support for Ayra, who he admires for her contributions to Nigerian music.

“People don’t understand it. What would make me, Jaywon, want to take a picture with Ayra Starr?

She’s been making us proud as an artist, and I just wanted to celebrate her,” he explained.

He pointed out that he, too, gets supported by fans and peers, so extending that goodwill to a younger artist like Ayra seemed natural to him.

But after the photo went viral, he felt abandoned as the jokes and negative comments piled on.

Jaywon expressed frustration that neither Ayra Starr nor her management tried to step in and address the situation.

He felt they could have made a statement to clarify things or at least denounced the trolling, but instead, he noticed they kept promoting the image repeatedly, keeping it in the public eye.

“They knew how it was affecting me, yet they kept quiet.

All they did was promote the picture back to back.

Nobody is dumb,” he said, emphasizing that the silence felt intentional.

He shared that Ayra’s silence on the matter showed him how things operate behind the scenes.

He concluded, “They feel like if they speak up, they’ll stop the picture from trending.

And that’s fine; everybody has their time.”

Nigerian singer Crown Uzama, famously known as Shallipopi, has given high praise to renowned rapper Olamide, describing him as the true king of Nigerian street music.

In a recent interview with Naija FM, Shallipopi shared that he chose to feature Olamide, also known as Baddo, in his hit track Order because of Olamide’s strong influence and deep connection with street culture in Nigeria.

“Olamide is not just a rapper; he’s a symbol of street music in Nigeria,” Shallipopi expressed passionately.

“I featured him on Order because it’s a song that speaks to the streets, and no one embodies that spirit more than Baddo.

He’s like the father of street music here.”

In the same interview, Shallipopi confirmed that he has officially parted ways with Dapper Music, the record label he was signed to.

He clarified that his exit was amicable, following the expiration of his contract.

Dismissing rumors of a feud with the label, Shallipopi emphasized that there is no bad blood between him and Dapper Music, describing their current relationship as friendly and supportive.
