Nigerian singer and songwriter, Jaywon, has fired back at rising star Odumodu Blvck after the latter’s recent comments about his music. In an outspoken social media post, Jaywon responded to Odumodu Blvck’s critical remarks, asserting that his song will continue to thrive despite any negativity.
The feud began when Odumodu Blvck, known for his viral hits and unapologetic demeanor, publicly criticized Jaywon’s latest track, claiming it lacked the innovation and depth expected from seasoned artists. Blvck, in an interview, described the song as “old-fashioned” and suggested that Jaywon was stuck in the past, unable to keep up with the evolving sound of Nigerian music.
Not one to take criticism lightly, Jaywon took to Instagram to fire back at the “Decline” singer. In a post that has since garnered thousands of reactions, the veteran artist declared, “No amount of hate or noise will stop a good song from thriving. My music is for the people, not for clout. If your sound is strong, it will stand the test of time, regardless of who speaks against it.”
He continued, “I’ve been in this game long enough to know that every successful song faces opposition. Odumodu Blvck’s opinion is just one of many, and my track will continue to reach its audience, regardless of the naysayers.”
Fans of both artists quickly flooded the comment sections, with many defending Jaywon’s longevity in the industry and his impact on Nigerian music. “Jaywon has been in the game for over a decade and still stays relevant, that’s the difference,” one fan wrote. Others, however, sided with Odumodu Blvck, praising his fresh approach to music and his boldness in speaking out.
Despite the growing tension between the two, it’s clear that the rivalry has brought even more attention to both artists. Jaywon’s song continues to climb the charts, while Odumodu Blvck’s rise in the industry shows no signs of slowing down.
It remains to be seen whether this disagreement will escalate further or if both artists will choose to let their music do the talking in the battle for the spotlight. Regardless, their feud is likely to fuel discussions about the direction of contemporary Nigerian music.
