In a candid revelation on social media, Nigerian artist Oluwajuwonlo Iledare, popularly known as Jaywon, has sparked a wave of reactions with his latest Instagram post. Amidst the uproar following a resurfaced video from 2016 showcasing Sean John Combs, better known as Diddy, in a controversial altercation with his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, Jaywon has chosen to defend the American singer.
The video captured Diddy’s aggressive behaviour and circulated widely, igniting a storm of comments and opinions across various social platforms. However, Jaywon’s stance is notably different. In his post, the Nigerian singer suggests a reflection on the motives behind the widespread criticism of Diddy. He argues that many of Diddy’s critics are themselves not without fault, especially pointing out individuals involved in internet fraud, commonly referred to as ‘Yahoo boys.’

“Seeing the intense backlash against Diddy, one can’t help but notice the hypocrisy,” Jaywon wrote. “Many of those casting stones are themselves hiding skeletons in their closets. It’s easier to judge when you haven’t been caught.”
This bold statement from Jaywon aligns him with Diddy and distances him from those he accuses of hypocrisy. His comments have stirred considerable conversation online as he urges the public to consider the broader context of accountability and justice.
Jaywon raises essential questions about fairness and the quickness to judge others while possibly ignoring one’s own misdeeds. His post has led to a broader discussion regarding the authenticity and transparency of public figures and their critics alike.
