Comedian and actor Mr. Macaroni expressed anger towards Grammy-winning singer Wizkid for making a disrespectful statement about music executive and Mavin Records boss Don Jazzy.
Wizkid dissed Don Jazzy on Monday after Ladipoe, a Mavin signee, criticised him. When informed about Ladipoe’s remarks, Wizkid arrogantly claimed he would never communicate with anyone labelled as an influencer. He also retweeted two tweets implying that Don Jazzy was merely a social media influencer.
Reacting on his X handle, Mr. Macaroni defended Don Jazzy, highlighting his influence across music, content creation, films, and brand endorsements. He criticised Wizkid’s disrespectful portrayal of Don Jazzy as just an influencer, emphasising Don Jazzy’s significant contributions to the Nigerian music industry.
Mr. Macaroni praised Don Jazzy as an absolute legend and commended his selfless support for entertainers in Nigeria, irrespective of their status.
Mr Macaroni wrote,
“Don Jazzy is perhaps the biggest entertainment influencer in Africa. And the beautiful thing is that his influence cuts through. From music to content, films, brands, etc. However, we would all be hypocrites to say that the context in which he was called an influencer isn’t disrespectful to everything he has done and is still doing for the Nigerian music industry. An absolute legend.”
“He promotes music artists even outside his record label. Gives free advice and visibility to up-and-coming artists and shows love to everyone, irrespective of their status. I am also a beneficiary of his phenomenal influence! Don Baba J!!!! Your Influence Choke!!.”
