“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.”
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
