Nigerian singer and songwriter Oluwajuwonlo Iledare, popularly known as Jaywon has apologized to his colleague Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, known as Ayra Starr after he was accused of mocking her over being snubbed by the Grammys.
The nominees for the 67th Grammys were recently announced, but Ayra Starr failed to get on the list of nominees despite her remarkable run this year.
Jaywon, who has been involved in an online beef with Ayra Starr, shared a photo of himself posing with two Grammy awards, shortly after the announcement which many believed was a shade at Ayra Starr.
Following the public response against him, Jaywon has now apologized for his actions.
He said he believes Ayra Starr is among the best female African vocalists. The singer noted that he doesn’t pull people down but elevates them for future purposes.
Jaywon wrote, “If you see Ayra Starr, tell her I’m sorry she wasn’t nominated for this year’s Grammys. I’m a huge fan of her music, and I believe she’s one of the best female vocalists Africa has. On this side, we don’t pull people down. We elevate, not just for today, but for the future. Ola Inu Kan”.
