Jaywon Hails Ayra Starr as One of Africa’s Best Female Vocalists
After her name was noticeably absent from the 67th Grammy nominees list, Nigerian singer Jaywon took to social media to express his admiration for Ayra Starr.
Naijawebinfo reports that the coveted list of nominees was recently announced, leaving many disappointed fans wondering why Ayra Starr was left out. In response, Jaywon shared a photo of himself posing with two Grammy awards, sparking speculation that his post was a subtle dig at his colleague.
However, the singer’s attempt to poke fun at Ayra Starr backfired as fans and netizens overwhelmingly condemned his move, perceiving it as mocking her absence from the nominees list.
To salvage the situation, Jaywon issued a heartfelt apology and publicly declared his support for Ayra Starr. On his Instagram account, he wrote:
“Please tell Ayra Starr that I’m sorry she didn’t receive a Grammy nomination this year. I’m a huge fan of her music, and I believe she’s one of the most talented female vocalists in Africa.”
“I want to emphasize that here, we don’t belittle others. Instead, we uplift and inspire them, not just for the present, but for a brighter future. Let us all strive for greatness – Ola Inu Kan.”
In a surprising twist, it’s worth noting that Jaywon is a voting member of the Recording Academy, the organization responsible for organizing the prestigious Grammy Awards.
