Jaywon has said his colleague, Burna Boy is very wrong to say nobody paved the way for him in the music industry
During an interview with Teju Babyface, Jaywon expressed disbelief at such a statement, describing it as madness.
He emphasised the role of predecessors in paving the way for others in the industry and questioned how artists could learn and be inspired without someone leading the path.
Jaywon likened Burna Boy’s statement to denying any inspiration from industry figures during his own upbringing.
He said: “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 till 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 rom behind learn it from.”
