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.
