During the recently concluded Bingwa Awards, top Kenyan musician Jaguar accused his Nigerian collaborator Iyanya of frustrating him.
While addressing the crowd, Jaguar claimed that Iyanya made endless demands during the video shoot for their One Centimetre remix.
He allegedly demanded that the video be shot in Nigeria or England either by Clarence Peters or Moe Musa.
Iyanya however refuted these allegations claiming that Jaguar was very lazy and did not make any effort toward promoting the song while in Nigeria.
“I told Jaguar to go out and introduce himself to the media, the same way I told Diamond and Sauti Sol, but he didn’t. I don’t know if he was expecting me to do his job for him,” a rather charged Iyanya said during an exclusive interview with Radio Maisha’s Tina Koroso.
“He was just lounging around for over ten days. He did not even make any effort, not even a newspaper interview,” he said adding that his collabo with Sauti Sol was doing very well at top ten in the Nigerian charts.
When Heads Up called Jaguar to update him on Iyanya’s response he said: “Iyanya was very mean to mean. Anyway, Nigeria is not Hollywood!”
