Nigerian Singer Jaywon Apologizes to Ayra Starr Over Perceived Grammy Snub Jab

Jaywon has extended an olive branch to Ayra Starr after his post sparked outrage for seemingly mocking her Grammy nomination snub.

After the 67th Grammy nominees were announced, Jaywon shared a photo posing with two Grammy awards, which many saw as a jab at Ayra Starr’s non-nomination despite her remarkable year.

Clarifying his intentions on X, Jaywon wrote:

“Please tell Ayra Starr I’m sorry she wasn’t nominated for this year’s Grammys. I’m a huge fan of her music; she’s one of Africa’s best female vocalists.”

Jaywon emphasized his support for uplifting artists:

“On this side, we elevate, not pull down, for the future.”

His apology comes amid an ongoing online feud with Ayra Starr, demonstrating a willingness to put differences aside and celebrate fellow artists’ achievements.
