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.

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.
