Jaywon blames Ayra Starr and management for strained relationship

 Jaywon has revealed that he does not have a good bond with Ayra Starr

Their fallout reportedly stemmed from a photo they took together, which went viral.

In the image, Ayra Starr appeared to hold Jaywon’s hand to prevent him from placing it on her waist, leading to online mockery.

In a latest interview with News Central, Jaywon shared his frustration, blaming Ayra Starr and her management for not addressing the trolls. He explained that his intention in taking the picture was purely to support and celebrate Ayra’s success, as he admires her work and wanted to show love for her achievements. He noted that just as people celebrate his work, he wants to support other artists who are doing well.

However, Jaywon expressed disappointment that Ayra Starr and her team did not handle the situation better. He pointed out that while the picture was widely circulated, Ayra and her management remained silent, instead choosing to continuously promote the image. He suggested that they likely did this to keep the attention on the picture, as it was trending. Jaywon remarked,

“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 your 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.
