Don Jazzy Appreciates Wizkid for Endorsing Ayra Starr’s New Album

The music industry has witnessed a significant moment of reconciliation as music executive Don Jazzy expressed his gratitude to Afrobeats megastar Wizkid for endorsing Ayra Starr’s sophomore album, The Year I Turned 21. This gesture has effectively put to rest any rumors of a rift between the two prominent figures following their recent social media fallout.

Wizkid took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to show support for the album, which was released on Friday. He shared the album cover along with a streaming link, accompanied by the message, “Superstar [love and eagle emojis].” In response, Don Jazzy reposted Wizkid’s tweet with a caption of appreciation: “Thanks Big Wiz [eagle emoji].”

This public exchange follows a recent incident where tensions between the two flared. The conflict began when Wizkid seemingly took a subtle jab at Don Jazzy after the latter’s signee, Ladipoe, made a post that appeared to mock Wizkid’s claim that “hip hop is dead.” When a fan brought this to Wizkid’s attention, he responded with, “Lol, never chatting with anyone signed to an influencer. Next,” and retweeted two tweets hinting that he referred to Don Jazzy as merely an influencer. This sparked outrage across social media, with celebrities such as Mr. Macaroni, Nasboi, Doyin, and Tacha criticizing Wizkid for what they saw as disrespect towards Don Jazzy. In reaction, Don Jazzy unfollowed Wizkid on Instagram.
