Wizkid, the Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, has ignited a social media storm with his sharp retort aimed at music mogul Don Jazzy.
The controversy began when Ladipoe, a rapper signed to Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records, took a jab at Wizkid’s past comment about hip-hop.
Ladipoe tweeted, “Nigerian rappers that survived ‘hip hop is dead’ watching Afrobeat artists go through their own.”
A concerned fan drew Wizkid’s attention to this shade, and in response, Wizkid dismissed any possibility of engaging with artists signed to “an influencer” – a subtle jab at Don Jazzy, under whose label Ladipoe operates.
Wizkid tweet read, “lol never chatting to anyone signed to an influencer. Next.”
This subtle jab at Don Jazzy has since sparked a flurry of reactions and speculations within the music industry and among fans alike.
Some fans praised Wizkid’s candid response, while others debated the implications of his words. Regardless, it’s clear that this exchange has added fuel to the ongoing conversation about the dynamics between artists and influencers in the Nigerian music scene.
