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 Rapper Nnamdi Nwabasili famously known as N6  shares his take on the current activities in Nigeria and describes it with a bold claim.

In a viral video, the rapper spoke on the recent violence attacks in Benue State that took the loves of 200 people.

Let me tell you something, whether you want to accept it or not. Nigeria is at war; Nigerians just don’t know it yet. Nigerians watch so many movies, so they assume a war is like a football match where the two opponents will face themselves and start fighting.

“But in reality, it is not always so. The war has started since 2016/2017. The problem is that most people reside in Lagos, Abuja, and state capitals, so the war hasn’t reached them. But ask people in rural areas. Nigeria is at war. Nigeria has been at war since 2016/2017 officially. Nigerians are just waiting to hear someone officially declare war before they know that they are at war. Hmm.”
