Nigerian singer, Jaywon, has been making waves in the music industry for over a decade, and his evergreen song "Odun Yi" (meaning "This Year") has been hitting the airwaves every new year since its release 13 years ago.

However, despite its enduring popularity, the song has also been subject to criticism and trolling.

In a recent post on X, Jaywon addressed his critics, saying he does not bother to be called African Mariah Carey.

He said: "A song that's been playing strong for 13 years and you think your hate today will stop it? Call me the African Mariah Carey if you want; it doesn't bother me, in fact, it's a compliment."

One of Jaywon's most vocal critics is fellow Nigerian singer, Odumodublvck, who is known for trolling Jaywon on social media.

However, in a surprising twist, Odumodublvck recently posted on X, saying "Every time I troll Jaywon. I promote him.You think I'm not aware?. I love him." However, netizens have dragged the "Woto woto" singer for continuously criticising Jaywon.
