Nigerian music producer, Don Jazzy and Wizkid have put their differences aside and reconciled following their highly publicised social media dispute.
Their reunion has now become a viral sensation, with photos and videos of the two resurfacing online.
The rift between the two music heavyweights began several months ago when Wizkid made a contentious remark, declaring that “Hip hop is dead”.
Indeed, the statement did not sit well with many in the industry, particularly Nigerian rappers who saw it as an outright dismissal of their craft.
One of the most notable responses came from Ladipoe, a rapper signed to Mavin Records, the label owned by Don Jazzy.
Taking to social media, Ladipoe wrote:
“Nigerian rappers that survived ‘hip hop is dead’ watching Afrobeat artists go through their own.”
Furthermore, this apparent dig at Wizkid caught the attention of fans.
This prompted one to bring it directly to the singer’s notice.
Wizkid, in his characteristic manner, responded dismissively, stating: “Lol never chatting to anyone signed to an influencer. Next d’”.
What Cause The Dispute Between Wizkid And Don Jazzy?
This cryptic remark led to widespread speculation that Wizkid was indirectly referring to Don Jazzy as merely a social media influencer rather than acknowledging his legacy as a music mogul.
Further fuelling the controversy, Wizkid went on to retweet several posts that seemingly reinforced this sentiment.
However, this ignites fierce debates online.
The exchange quickly escalated online, with many fans taking to social media to express their disapproval of Wizkid’s comments.
Several users berated Wizkid for his perceived disrespect towards Don Jazzy.
Meanwhile, Don Jazzy is seen as a respected figure in the Nigerian music industry. Also, has been instrumental in the careers of numerous artists.
For many, Don Jazzy was a symbol of success and professionalism, and they felt that Wizkid’s comments were unjustified.
However, amidst the heated exchange, Don Jazzy took decisive action by unfollowing Wizkid on social media.
This further amplifies the tension between the two music giants.
Also, his decision was seen as a clear indication of the hurt caused by the comments and the growing rift between the two artists.

However, it seems that time has healed the wounds, as the two have now reconciled.
