Renowned comedian and skit maker, Mr Macaroni, has come to the defense of veteran producer and music executive, Don Jazzy, following a recent spat involving singer Wizkid.
The controversy ignited when Wizkid seemingly took a swipe at Don Jazzy while responding to shade from Mavin signee, Ladipoe. Wizkid asserted that he doesn’t engage with artists signed to influencers, sparking speculation that he was referring to Don Jazzy.
In a passionate response via his X handle on Monday afternoon, Mr Macaroni condemned the disrespectful context in which Wizkid labeled Don Jazzy as merely an influencer. He praised Don Jazzy as perhaps the biggest entertainment influencer in Africa, highlighting his multifaceted influence across music, content, films, and brands.
Mr Macaroni emphasized Don Jazzy’s selflessness and support for the Nigerian music industry, noting his role in promoting artists beyond his record label and providing guidance to up-and-coming talents. He concluded with a tribute to Don Jazzy’s legendary status and the profound impact of his influence.
