Nigerian music star Odumodublvck recently caused a stir online by criticising fellow singer Jaywon by comparing the two of them in a photo, which has led to a heated reaction. The trouble started when Odumodublvck shared a post with an old picture of Jaywon and rising Nigerian star Ayra Starr next to a new picture of Ayra Starr with American rapper Future. A lot of people saw this as a subtle jab at Jaywon, which caused a huge reaction.
The first picture of Jaywon and Ayra Starr went popular on social media. It showed Jaywon trying to pose with Ayra Starr while she looked like she was holding his hand away. At the time, this odd move caused a lot of buzz and led to a lot of memes and jokes. Many people on the internet said that Ayra looked like she was in pain, and the picture became a turning point that, for better or worse, got everyone’s attention.
As of right now, Odumodublvck seemed to be making money off of the same popular moment. Odumodublvck suggested that Ayra was more comfortable and at ease with Future than with Jaywon by putting the old picture of Ayra Starr and Future next to a more current picture of Ayra with Future. Fans got the message, and many of them saw Odumodublvck’s post as a direct attack on Jaywon, drawing an uncomfortable parallel between how awkward Jaywon was with Ayra and how charismatic Future seemed to be.
The poke did not bother Jaywon. A long post on social media slammed Odumodublvck for what he called “unnecessary disrespect.” Jaywon said that Odumodublvck was trying to gain power at the cost of his peers and that it was unfair to use a brief incident in a way that was not accurate. He said that the original picture of him with Ayra Starr was pulled out of context and that Odumodublvck’s attempt to bring it back was childish and pointless.
Jaywon told them that as artists, they should support each other instead of going after each other. He was also upset that Odumodublvck, a fellow Nigerian musician, would try to make artists compete with each other instead of enjoying their wins. When Jaywon wrote, “It’s sad when your own people would rather see you as a joke than support your growth,” he was calling for unity in the music business.
A lot of Jaywon’s friends on social media stood by him and understood how upset he was about being the subject of a joke that went too far. People who support Jaywon quickly pointed out that the old picture was no longer news and asked why Odumodublvck brought it up now. Some users said that Odumodublvck was “messy” and “childish,” and they thought that he was trying to make trouble for attention.
But Odumodublvck’s true fans said the post was only a joke and that Jaywon might be exaggerating. They said that Jaywon shouldn’t take things so seriously because he is an artist and everything is looked at when he does something like this. They said that Odumodublvck’s humour was just misread and that he wasn’t trying to hurt anyone.
Even though there was back and forth, Ayra Starr didn’t say anything about it and didn’t get involved in the fight between the two artists. There was more talk about her silence, and some people wondered if she liked being with Future more or if she wasn’t interested in the drama.
The event shows the stresses of fame and how one event can be turned into a story that people talk about for a long time after the fact. Jaywon has been annoyed by the spread of the old picture, and it’s getting even worse now that another artist has used it again. For Odumodublvck, what may have begun as a joke has grown into a public fight where people are taking sides.
In a field where competition and rivalry are normal, these kinds of events serve as a reminder that the line between polite conversation and disrespect can be hard to tell. Whether Odumodublvck meant to hurt someone or was just making a joke, his post brought up a subject that many people had forgotten about. For Jaywon, it was a chance to ask artists to treat each other with care. For Odumodublvck, it may have gone more wrong than he thought. The music business, especially in Nigeria, needs times when everyone works together. This public fight has shown how important it is to build respect instead of adding to stories that divide people.
