Balogun Eletu, the music promoter better known as Sam Larry, has denied claims that he gave Davido a 24-hour ultimatum to apologise to Wizkid.

An X user alleged that Sam Larry asked Davido to tender an apology to Wizkid following their online altercation earlier this week.

The user also claimed that the music promoter warned that he would take action against Davido if the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker does not do his bidding.

“Davido. Abi kini o pe. I give you 25 hours to apologise to Machala or I might have to step in,” the post allegedly attributed to Larry reads.

However, in a post via his Instagram story on Wednesday, the Lagos socialite reposted the said post while refuting the claims.

“This is fake story. Sam Larry never post such thing. Stop posting fake rumours about Sam Larry,” Larry wrote.

On Monday, a fight ensued between Davido and Wizkid on X after the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker mocked him and Don Jazzy, the Mavin Records head honcho.

Wizkid referred to Don Jazzy as an “influencer” while taunting Davido with a video of him on his knees, pleading and crying after a fan asked him to release new music.

The singer’s posts attracted criticism from a segment of social media users, including celebrities.

Davido also retaliated, labeling Wizkid’s career as “dead”.

Yul Edochie, the Nigerian actor, has offered his opinion on Wizkid‘s recent social media outburst.

Wizkid set social media ablaze on Monday after referring to Don Jazzy, head honcho of Mavin Records, as an “influencer”.

He also engaged in a heated exchange with Davido, his colleague.

In a video shared on Instagram, Edochie attributed Wizkid’s outburst to the “pain of losing his mother”.

He added that society does not provide support for those grieving.

“Many people would not understand what is happening to Wizkid. But I will tell you, it’s the pain of losing his mother,” he said.

“Wizkid is going through the pain of losing his mother. It is a terrible pain. You see that pain of losing a loved one? It is a terrible pain. It is a pain that would make you question God. It is a pain that would make you question life. It is a pain that would make you throw caution to the wind. It is a pain that would make you sometimes want to even take your life.

“It is a pain that would make you sometimes become even disrespectful and just say a lot of things. It is a pain that would even make you question your existence. You lose your mother and you lose your sanity. It is a terrible pain. And that is what is happening to Wizkid.

“Unfortunately, we live in a world that would even give you more pain than love.”

Comedian and actor, Adebowale Adedayo, aka Mr Macaroni, has disclosed his reason for saying Afrobeat music singer, Wizkid, disrespected the Mavin Records boss, Michael Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy by calling him an ‘influencer’.

Macaroni stated this on Wednesday during a live show on Wazobia TV in Lagos.

The comedian justified his position on Wizkid that although Don Jazzy is an influencer perhaps ‘the biggest entertainment influencer we have in Africa’, adding that the context in which Wizkid presented him was disrespectful.

He added that Don Jazzy is not just an ordinary influencer, saying the Mavin Records label boss influenced the music industry when he newly came out with Ricardo Banks, Tiwa Salvage, Korede Bello, Dija and up the new crops of music artistes.

Macaroni said, “Don Jazzy is an influencer and perhaps the biggest entertainment influencer we have in Africa. He is such a massive influencer in the entertainment industry, from music to film.

“His impact speaks volumes. So, while Wizkid’s comments about Don Jazzy were a bit disrespectful in context, Don Jazzy’s influence is undeniable.

“Look at when he has been doing it with the likes of D’Banj, Wande Coal, Dr Sid, De Prince and then to Maving Records when they newly came out with Ricardo Banks, Tiwa Salvage, Korede Bello, Di’ja and up to this new generation.”

He said Don Jazzy has been so successful that there can never be a discussion around shaping the music industry without mentioning him.

The comedian also described Don Jazzy as a champion and great influence whose impact is undeniable on the growth of the music industry.

“Don Jazzy is a champion. Of course, he’s an influencer; he’s a great influencer. He doesn’t do it for just music; he does it for content and films. All you need is just to add Don Jazzy as a collaborator. You don’t even need to have a million followers. If he loves what you have done, he will just accept your request and the millions of followers that he has can see the content.

“But, the way Wizkid worded it (influencer) when he (Wizkid) said “I can’t chat with an influencer.’ That context is what we find disrespectful,” he added.
