Speaking in a recent interview with News Central, Jaywon blamed Ayra Starr and her management for not calling the trolls to order.
“The Ayra Starr situation is unfortunate. We are not cool. People don’t get it. What would make me, Jaywon want to take a picture with Ayra Starr?
“Of course, she’s an amazing artist who has been making us [Nigerians] proud. So, it’s just love. I only wanted to support and celebrate her for the good work she’s doing.
“People also support and celebrate me, too. So when I see a young artist doing good, I want to be part of that celebration.
“We took a picture and it went viral, you and yours never said anything about it. The only thing your management did was to promote the picture back to back. Nobody is dumb.
“We know how the [music] industry works. People are saying she didn’t say anything about the picture. Of course, she didn’t say anything about the picture but she saw it trending everyday. Why would she not say something about it?
“Oh yeah, because that is how they roll. I don’t blame them. They feel like if they say something, they are going to stop the picture from trending. They enjoy it. No problem. Everybody has their time,” he said.
