Oluwajuwonlo Iledare a.k.a Jaywon has carpeted Burna Boy over his statement that nobody in the music industry inspired him to achieving what has done for himself.
The ‘This Year’ singer who was speaking during a chat with Teju Babyface, argued that every musician was influenced or helped by someone.
“Burna is the same thing, talented, and everything. It’s like Burna saying no one paved the way for him. How do you say that? It’s a very wrong thing to say. It is madness, it’s like saying when you were little no one inspired you.
“People will say someone inspired you, is different from someone opening doors for you. Tell me, if someone didn’t do it first, where did people from behind learn it from.”
Meanwhile, Jaywon also remembered how he was bullied by rapper Eedris Abdulkaraeem.
“A lot of people might not know Eedris, but I know Eedris. I was on the same label with him. We were at Kennis Music together and we had a couple of issues.
“Eedris cannot call Burna Boy out. Different people can call Burna Boy out not Eedris. Because whatever [arrogance] Burna Boy is doing now, people like Eedris started it. Eedris is a bully. Ask anybody who knows him. He can be nice sometimes. I also heard that he is generous. But he cannot call Burna Boy out.
“Eedris once attacked me with his boys. He attacked me on a bus after a show because he felt I stole his shine at the concert. They were kicking me. It was even in the news that I was in a coma. I tried to stand and they were kicking me down.
“When I finally got up, I confronted the driver. I was like, ‘How will something like this be going and you are still driving?’ Eedris threatened to kill the driver if he stopped driving.”
