Jaywon Apologizes to Ayra Starr Over Grammy Snub Post, Calls Her Best in Africa
Nigerian singer Jaywon recently extended an apology to his fellow artist Ayra Starr after accusations surfaced that he mocked her for not securing a Grammy nomination.
The Grammy nominees for the 67th awards show were recently announced, and despite Ayra Starr’s success and popularity this year, her name was absent from the list, disappointing many fans and supporters who had hoped to see her recognized.
Shortly after the announcement, Jaywon posted a photo of himself holding two Grammy awards, which some interpreted as a subtle jab at Ayra Starr’s lack of a nomination.
This was particularly notable given the tension between the two artists, as they’ve been involved in an ongoing online disagreement.
The post quickly sparked backlash, with fans accusing Jaywon of being insensitive to Ayra Starr’s disappointment.
In response to the criticism, Jaywon issued a public apology, clarifying that his intentions had been misunderstood.
Expressing admiration for Ayra Starr, he described her as one of the best female vocalists in Africa and shared that he’s a genuine fan of her music.
He emphasized that he doesn’t believe in tearing others down but instead believes in uplifting and supporting fellow artists to create a lasting impact in the music industry.
In his apology, Jaywon said, If you see Ayra Starr, tell her I’m sorry she wasn’t nominated for this year’s Grammys. I’m a huge fan of her music, and I believe she’s one of the best female vocalists Africa has.
Adding to his supportive message, he continued, On this side, we don’t pull people down. We elevate, not just for today, but for the future. Ola Inu Kan.

Popular R$B singer Sza opens up about her musical joinery and fame. The singer shares in recent interview with Extra alongside Keke Palmer and Issa Rae that she still finds her fame weird.
She stated that sometimes she has no idea what is going on and is still getting used to the people eyes on her.
“I don’t really know what is happening, I don’t know what the hell going on. I didn’t grow up famous, I grew up in the ‘burbs, I went to regular school, went to regular college, did regular odd jobs until everything popped off.”
The singer speaks on how most of her colleagues are used to it but she isn’t. “They be like, ‘That’s what you signed up for,’ and then I’m like, ‘I didn’t even know what I was signing up for, actually. I just made a couple songs and I was grateful that they were liked, and then I kept going.”
Nigerian artist Spyro claims that opening up about your faith as a Christian will end your musical career.
The singer recalls former colleague Banky W, who started struggling with his career after opening up about his faith.
Spyro shared that he also struggled with the lack of support as he came out with his faith in Jesus.
“My biggest challenge in the music industry right now is discrimination. I came out with the ‘Jesus boy’ brand, and I’ve received the biggest criticisms.”
“Once you come out and declare Christ publicly, you enter a war. It’s like the whole system is designed to pull you down.”
