Nigerian music star Wizkid, fresh off his Grammy win, is embroiled in a social media spat with music mogul Don Jazzy. The drama unfolded after Ladipoe, a rapper signed to Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records, took a jab at Wizkid’s past comment about hip-hop being dead.
Ladipoe’s tweet seemingly mocked Afrobeat artists, including Wizkid, for facing struggles after that statement. Wizkid, clearly not amused, responded dismissively, refusing to engage with “anyone signed to an influencer.” He further fueled speculation by retweeting posts suggesting Don Jazzy himself was the “influencer” he was referring to.
This exchange has fans buzzing, with many wondering if this is a playful dig or a sign of deeper tension between the two music powerhouses.
