The disagreement caused a rift between the two influential figures in the Nigerian music industry, with fans and industry insiders talking about their conflict.
In a surprising turn of events, Wizkid’s endorsement of Ayra Starr’s sophomore album, ‘The Year I Turned 21,’ has led to a reconciliation between the Starboy and Mavin Records founder, Don Jazzy.
The two music heavyweights, who were previously embroiled in a feud, have put aside their differences to celebrate the success of Ayra Starr’s highly anticipated album.
Wizkid and Don Jazzy’s feud dates back to a few years ago when the two were involved in a public spat over an undisclosed issue. Recently Wizkid and Don Jazzy were involved in a social media fallout that stemmed from Wizkid’s subtle jabs at Don Jazzy.
The issue began when Wizkid responded to a tweet by Mavin signee Ladipoe, who seemingly ridiculed Don Jazzy for claiming that “hip hop is dead.” Wizkid dismissed any possibility of engaging with artists signed to “an influencer,” which was interpreted as a subtle jab at Don Jazzy, the founder of Mavin Records.

However, the tide has turned with Wizkid’s recent endorsement of Ayra Starr’s album. The Starboy took to his social media platforms to retweet Ayra Starr’s album announcement, expressing his support for the young talent.
Wizkid posted the album cover and streaming link along with the caption, “Superstar [love and eagle emojis].”
This gesture has been widely celebrated by fans and industry peers alike, as it showcases Wizkid’s commitment to uplifting and supporting the next generation of Nigerian music stars.
Don Jazzy, who is known for his mentorship and support of young artists, has publicly expressed his gratitude towards Wizkid for endorsing Ayra Starr’s album as he reposted Wizkid’s tweet with the caption; “Thanks Big Wiz [eagle emoji].”
This gesture has been well-received by fans, who are eager to see the two music icons collaborate and support each other in the future.
