Nigerian singer Jaywon has addressed his critics in a recent post on X, stating that he is unbothered by negative comments and trolling.
The Odun Yi crooner, whose song has been a staple on airwaves every new year for 13 years, responded to critics who have been trying to bring him down.
Jaywon specifically mentioned being called the “African Mariah Carey”, saying it doesn’t bother him and is actually a compliment. This comment is seen as a direct response to critics who have been trying to belittle him.
Interestingly, one of Jaywon’s most vocal critics, fellow Nigerian singer Odumodublvck, recently posted a surprising message on X, saying “Every time I troll Jaywon. I promote him. You think I’m not aware?. I love him.” However, fans have dragged Odumodublvck for his continuous criticism of Jaywon.
The exchange between Jaywon and Odumodublvck has sparked a wider conversation about the role of criticism and trolling in the music industry. While some see trolling as a harmful and unnecessary practice, others believe it can be a form of promotion and publicity.
Jaywon’s response to his critics has been praised by many, who see it as proof of his confidence and dedication to his craft. The singer remains grateful to his fans and to Jehovah, saying “After over a decade, we’re still here, still loved, and still supported, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.”
