I can do all genres of music - Jaywon

Jaywon at The 5th Amendment by Igos which held on Sunday, June 19 at the Muson Centre.

There has been a lot of confusion about appropriately tagging genres when it comes to Nigerian music. Some are of the opinion that adding ‘Afro’ to whatever genre a Nigerian musician choosing to adapt is enough while others feel there is no need to add Afro to it. Since music is generally accepted, there shouldn’t be any need for distinction.

This was the point Cynthia Morgan was probably trying to prove when she attempted to call out Mark Zuckerberg on Instagram for attaching the wrong tag to Nigerian music.

That said, another musician has attempted to sort out the confusion about genres. Speaking exclusively to Naij.com, Jaywon said: “As for me, I can do all genres. Today I’m doing fuji, tomorrow I’m doing apala. You can take these genres out of me. These days most of us do everything. After all, na song wey blow people go enjoy na.”sad but true
