Following a recent social media spat, music industry veterans Don Jazzy and Wizkid appear to have called a truce. The peace offering came after Wizkid publicly endorsed Ayra Starr, a rising star signed to Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records.
On Friday, Wizkid took to his social media platform to promote Ayra Starr’s sophomore album, “The Year I Turned 21.” Sharing the album artwork and streaming link, he wrote a simple message of support: “Superstar [love and eagle emojis].”
Don Jazzy responded positively, reposting Wizkid’s tweet with a message of appreciation: “Thanks Big Wiz [eagle emoji].”
This exchange marks a significant shift from their previous online tension. In May, Wizkid seemed to take offense to comments made by Ladipoe, another Mavin Records artist. Ladipoe’s social media post seemingly mocked the idea that “hip hop is dead.” When a fan brought this to Wizkid’s attention, he responded with a now-deleted tweet: “Lol, never chatting with anyone signed to an influencer. Next.”
Many interpreted this as a veiled jab at Don Jazzy, the head of Mavin Records. The perceived disrespect sparked outrage on social media, with celebrities criticizing Wizkid for his actions. Don Jazzy further fueled speculation of a rift by unfollowing Wizkid on Instagram.
However, Wizkid’s recent endorsement of Ayra Starr’s album suggests a thawing of tensions. Don Jazzy’s positive response seems to confirm a reconciliation.
