Nigerian music producer Don Jazzy and Afrobeats superstar Wizkid have put their differences aside after months of tension.
A video and photos of their reunion are now trending online, signalling an end to their widely publicized feud.
How the dispute started
The conflict began when Wizkid made a controversial statement, declaring that “hip hop is dead.” His remark sparked outrage in the Nigerian music industry. Ladipoe, a rapper signed under Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records, fired back with a pointed comment. He wrote, “Nigerian rappers that survived ‘hip hop is dead’ watching Afrobeats artists go through their own.”
Wizkid’s response sparks more controversy
A fan later brought Ladipoe’s response to Wizkid’s attention. Wizkid dismissed it with a sharp reply, saying, “lol never chatting to anyone signed to an influencer. Next.d’.” He went further by retweeting posts that implied he was calling Don Jazzy a social media influencer rather than a music mogul.
Fans defend Don Jazzy
This move triggered strong reactions from fans and industry figures. Many criticized Wizkid for disrespecting him, a veteran producer known for shaping Nigeria’s music industry. Supporters pointed out Don Jazzy’s contributions, emphasizing that he had launched the careers of several top artists and played a major role in Afrobeats’ global rise.
