‘I no owe your papa’ | ‘Jay-lost’ — Jaywon, Dammy Krane clash over Davido

Jaywon and Dammy Krane have engaged in a war of words over Davido’s old comment on the state of the Nigerian economy.

The altercation began when Jaywon took to his X page to quote Davido’s statement from last year, in which the Afrobeats star advised black Americans against relocating to Nigeria due to the country’s economic challenges.

Davido had cited bad leadership, a high exchange rate, and skyrocketing oil prices as major challenges impacting the country.

In the tweet, Jaywon wondered why Davido’s critics were no longer speaking out, suggesting that citizens were the major cause of Nigeria’s challenges.

“A few months ago, when Davido spoke about the state of the country in an interview, some people quickly came together to call him out as if he was lying,” he wrote. 

“Abeg, where are those people today? The reality is clear: Nigerians are their own biggest problem.”

Krane responded by insinuating that Davido’s family “contributed to Nigeria’s problems”. He also slammed Jaywon for “applauding Davido’s statement on foreign investors avoiding Nigeria”.

“FLOPIDO & his family are part of NIGERIA’s problem.. dem sef dey in power & na dem de distribute power,” he wrote.

The singer added: “FLOPIDO said the foreigners & investors shouldn’t come & invest in the nation that the country is in Sh@mBL€S & you supporting RUBB!$H … them go come for una, simply because you & FLOPIDO are not supporting people who are trying to come & make it better’ … btw if NIGERIA is better FLOPIDO FAMILY would stop making Monopoly money. 

“Ps: JAY-LOST no worry … ICE go soon relocate you back to build  country.”

Jaywon fired back, berating Krane for always complaining about others playing a negative role in his career.

“You Dey curse me like say I owe your papa money. Every little thing your career this, your career that and your father never had none,” he wrote. 

Jaywon also spoke out against online bullying, stating that the music industry was not for the weak.

“Some of my colleagues call me to chat about the current state of the industry and how I handle all the ranting and disrespect online. My response is always the same: today’s industry is not for the weak,” he wrote. 

“Just look at the level of disrespect thrown at artists like Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, and many others on social media. If you’re not prepared, you won’t last. They will always come for you, and the only real escape is to go offline but we can’t do that. This is our life, our craft, and no matter what, we will keep pushing forward!”
