Don Jazzy’s dad addresses Wizkid’s mockery of his son
Collins Enebeli Ajereh, the father of Don Jazzy, has addressed Wizkid’s recent remarks aimed at the music producer.
In April, Wizkid mocked Don Jazzy, referring to the music producer as an “influencer”.
The singer’s post attracted criticism against him on social media, with some users describing his remarks as “disrespectful”.
The Mavin Records head honcho has remained reticent about the matter; and did not respond to the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker.
Don Jazzy, however, recently appreciated Wizkid for endorsing Ayra Starr’s latest album.
Ajereh was recently featured on HipTV’s Trending hosted by Kim Oprah, the reality TV star.
When asked to speak on the mockery, Don Jazzy’s dad said anyone who made such a comment about his son is entitled to their own opinion.
Ajereh said there is “no love lost”, adding that people should not make a fuss about the matter.
“I do not see why people make anything spectacular out of it,” he said.
“Whoever said what he or she said depends on the circumstance they made such comment and I wouldn’t want that to be an issue of controversy.
“There is no love lost and there is no need to see it in a different way other than what it was intended to be or what it is. We just pass it by.”
