Singer Jaywon Slams Billboard for Snubbing His Hit ‘This Year’ in Afrobeats List
Nigerian singer, Jaywon, calls out gospel and Afrobeats artists for drawing inspiration from his music.
This claim was prompted amid the release of Best Afrobeats Songs of All Time by Billboard. The artist also called out the magazine for leaving his song off the list.
The singer took to his social media page and wrote: ‘This Year’ by Jaywon had more viral moments and cultural impact than some of the tracks Billboard ranked. It has been trending since 2012 and is still relevant today. Who else has achieved that? Hate is inevitable. Year after year, both gospel and Afrobeats singers copy the same vibe, but we remain unshaken. I’ll say it again: no song on that list has more cultural impact than #ThisYear by Jaywon.”
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
