Nigerian artist and songwriter, Oluwajuwonlo Iledare, widely recognized as Jaywon, has expressed that he has extended forgiveness to his fellow musician, Burna Boy, for what he perceives as disrespectful behavior.
The two artists experienced a public disagreement on social
media after Jaywon criticized Burna Boy for asserting that no one had
contributed to his success in the music industry.
In a recent discussion with Ctdamongblacks, Jaywon stated
that he has chosen to forgive Burna Boy, acknowledging the latter's significant
accomplishments in music.
He explained that despite being “a stubborn child,” Burna
Boy has do a lot for the Nigerian music industry.
Conversely, Jaywon took issue with rapper Odumodublvck for
similarly claiming that no one had paved the way for him, emphasizing that
Odumodublvck has not yet achieved sufficient success to warrant such
declarations.
Jaywon said, “The original title of my new song ‘Time’ was
‘Letter To Burna Boy’. I changed it when Odumodublvck started ranting. It was
actually Burna that inspired the song.
“Burna Boy has done such for this industry without even
knowing that he has done it. I know that Burna is not… You know when a child
tries and you overlook his misbehaviour because he has tried and worked. Burna
Boy is that stubborn child, he misbehaves, but i forgave him.
“But Odumodublvck is not fit. He actually did a Diss track
for me and when I heard it, I was disappointed that it was all you could do as
a rapper.”
