‘Wizkid Did Not Lie’ – Nigerians React As Evidence Of Don Jazzy Claiming Influencer Emerges

Some fans of Nigerian award-winning singer, Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, have dug out an old social media post claiming that the singer’s controversial statement about music executive, Don Jazzy, is true.

Naija News reported that Wizkid slammed Don Jazzy while reacting to shade fired at him by Mavin signee, Ladipoe.

Wizkid boasted that he is “never chatting to anyone signed to an influencer” when some fans called his attention to rapper Ladipoe’s shade.

He also retweeted some tweets suggesting that he was referring to Don Jazzy as a mere social media influencer.

The social media posts generated outrage on the X platform, with many Nigerians demanding an apology from Wizkid.

Following Wizkid’s statement, Don Jazzy unfollowed him on social media.

Defending Wizkid, some fans dug out a 2020 tweet where Don Jazzy spoke about venturing into influencing full-time and would want to work with the bigwigs in the field.

Still defending the ‘Ojuelegbe’ crooner, fans also shared a flier where the Mavin boss CEO won the Pulse Nigeria 2023 Music Influencer and Media Influencer of the Year awards.

Some Nigerians reacted to Don Jazzy’s 2020 social media post, stressing that Wizkid didn’t lie with his comment.
