Nigerian Afrobeats singer Jaywon has publicly addressed allegations that he is taking sides in the long-standing rivalry between music superstars Wizkid and Davido, describing such assumptions as "absurd."
In a video shared on his TikTok page, the "This Year" crooner expressed confusion over why fans believe his close relationship with Davido automatically positions him as Wizkid's enemy.
"So because I'm close to Davido that has automatically made me an enemy of Wizkid? Please make it make sense. Make me understand this. I don't get it," Jaywon stated in the video.
The statement comes amid ongoing discussions about artist relationships in the Nigerian music industry, particularly regarding the perceived rivalry between two of Africa's biggest music exports, Wizkid and Davido, whose fans often engage in heated debates on social media platforms.
Jaywon, known for hits like "This Year" and "Oba Orin," has maintained working relationships with various artists in the industry throughout his career, regardless of their personal differences with each other.
Industry observers note that such allegations of "picking sides" have become increasingly common in the Nigerian music scene, often fueled by fan bases rather than the artists themselves.
This incident highlights the complex dynamics of relationships within the Nigerian entertainment industry, where personal and professional connections often become subjects of public scrutiny and speculation.
