Jaywon stated that he does not have a positive relationship with Ayra Starr.
In a recent interview, Nigerian singer Jaywon candidly discussed his strained relationship with fellow artist Ayra Starr. The conversation revealed his disappointment regarding how Ayra Starr and her management handled the backlash stemming from a controversial photograph they took together.
Jaywon explained that the intention behind the picture was to celebrate Ayra Starr’s success and demonstrate support for her burgeoning career. However, the outcome was not as he had hoped. The image sparked a wave of online trolling, and Jaywon expressed frustration that Ayra Starr and her team did not take action to quell the negativity.
“The Ayra Starr situation is unfortunate. We are not cool. People don’t get it,” Jaywon stated, emphasizing that his intentions were purely supportive. He lamented the lack of response from her management, suggesting that their decision to promote the picture instead of addressing the trolls contributed to the situation’s escalation.
Jaywon’s comments highlight a broader issue within the music industry regarding the responsibility artists and their management teams have in managing public perception. As he pointed out, silence in the face of controversy can often be interpreted as complicity, leaving artists vulnerable to public scrutiny.
In summary, Jaywon’s reflections serve as a reminder of the importance of accountability in the entertainment industry. As artists navigate the complexities of fame and public opinion, proactive communication and support can help mitigate misunderstandings and foster a more positive environment for all involved.
Nigerian singer Naira Marley’s family life has become a topic of public interest after Instagram model and TikToker Sandra Benede publicly acknowledged being the mother of his twin daughters, Aishat and Simiat Fashola.
The admission occurred during a recent livestream with streamer Peller, who initiated the conversation regarding the children. While Ms. Benede confirmed her parentage, she clarified that she and Mr. Marley are not married.
Speculation regarding a potential relationship between the two figures arose in May 2022 following a birthday greeting from Ms. Benede to Mr. Marley. The recent confirmation now sheds further light on their connection and the children’s parentage.
Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has recently ignited a debate regarding the necessity of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination for university admissions in Nigeria. In a statement posted on her Instagram story, Njoku questioned the need for JAMB and post-UTME, arguing that the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) should be sufficient proof of a candidate’s completion of secondary education.
Her statement comes amidst recent controversy surrounding JAMB, particularly following widespread reports of mass failures in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). While JAMB has admitted to errors and announced retakes for affected candidates, Njoku’s questioning highlights a deeper concern regarding the redundancy and potential inefficiencies within the current university admission process. The actress’s comments add fuel to an existing debate about the effectiveness and fairness of the JAMB examination in evaluating a student’s readiness for tertiary education.
