  • Recall that the Made in Lagos singer caused a stir on social media after he criticised numerous music figures, including Davido, Don Jazzy, and Ladipoe
  • It appeared the Mavin boss was guilty as charged, which ignited a fresh round of heated online debate 

Fans and supporters of award-winning musician Ayodeji Balogun, aka Wizkid, have gathered proof to defend their star after he slammed music mogul Don Jazzy.

Reacting to it, Wizkid threw a jab at Don Jazzy, revealing that he would never give his attention to anyone (Ladipoe) signed to an influencer, hinting that the record label executive Don Jazzy was an influencer.

Following his statement, Don Jazzy unfollowed him on social media.

To defend their idol, Wizkid's fans, fondly referred to as FC, shared evidence proving that Don Jazzy was an influencer. 

They uploaded a flier of the Mavin boss, where he won the Pulse Nigeria 2023 Music Influencer and Media Influencer of the Year awards.

FC went on to dig out a 2020 tweet where Don Jazzy spoke about venturing into influencing full-time and would want to work with the bigwigs in the field.

"Me sef don turn full time influencer. I will holla Mr Macaroni, Taacoma and Lasisi to coach me," he wrote in part.
