Popular Nigerian musician Jaywon has tackled Burna Boy.
He stated that it makes no sense for Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy to claim that no one paved a path for him in the music industry.
During an interview, Jaywon remarked that Burna Boy’s claims that no one has paved the way for him in the industry are preposterous and utterly false.
The singer stated that the African giant was just saying that no one had ever inspired him, from his childhood to the present.
Jaywon rejects the concept that there is a distinction between being inspired by someone and having someone lead the path for them.
He questioned where the next generation of artists would learn if no one had done it before them.
He remembers Burna Boy receiving a 30BG chain from Afrobeats musician Davido, characterizing it as a big boost to his career.
Jaywon continued by adding that it costs nothing for any artist to acknowledge their predecessors who came before them.

“It is madness for Burna Boy to say no one paved the way for him. It’s a wrong thing to say, the next generation will do the same to him”

In other news, Terry G, a Nigerian singer, openly criticized Timaya on his Instagram page for allegedly not paying royalties.
The singer of “Akpako Master” voiced his dissatisfaction and disgust with the circumstances without holding back.
Terry G said in a recent social media post that he had been thinking about coming out about the issue, especially after listening to podcasts where musicians talk about their experiences being underpaid royalties.
He made it clear that the metaphorical “table will be used for firewood” the day he chooses to voice his ideas, suggesting that he plans to do so in a powerful and audacious way.
Terry G has said unequivocally that he wants Timaya and other musicians to pay him the 50% producer publishing royalties that are his due.
Using himself as an example of how excellence is taken advantage of and ultimately abandoned, the seasoned singer and producer bemoaned the treatment he had supposedly experienced from other producers.
Terry G. penned:
“Looking at all the podcasts and disclosure artists speaking up, the day I go talk my own, the table will be used for firewood. If you know I produced this song for you,
“I need my 50% producer publishing royalties from Himaya and others. But all the producers out there use me as an example of how they use and dump greatness. But still, I rise.”
