“Content Creators Enjoy More Support Than Nigerian Musicians” – Gilmore
Popular content creator Gilmore recently shared his thoughts on the supportive nature of Nigeria’s content creation scene.
According to Gilmore, content creators in Nigeria share a level of support that is not as prevalent in the music industry.
He believes this solidarity among creators has been instrumental in their collective success.
In a recent interview with Hip TV, Gilmore elaborated on how social media has played a crucial role in their rise to prominence.
“In 2024, everyone is glued to their phones,” he pointed out.
“TV is no longer the go-to for entertainment.
People prefer to consume content on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
This shift has made it easier for creators to not only gain visibility but also turn their passion into profit.”
He emphasized that social media offers new avenues for making money, something that traditional media no longer provides in the same way.
While discussing his personal influences, Gilmore also revealed that Afrobeats singer Ayra Starr is his ideal woman, praising her talent and presence in the industry.
He also reminisced about his childhood crush, Niniola, who has made waves in the music scene with her distinct sound and undeniable energy.

“What Would Make Me Want to Take Picture with Ayra Starr?” – Jaywon
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.”
