Renowned Nigerian musician Jaywon has faced backlash after sharing photos from his visit to the gravesite of late music icon Sound Sultan. Known for his hit song “This Year,” Jaywon recently posted on social media, announcing that he had visited the resting place of the musician, who passed away in 2021, to pay tribute.
In his posts, Jaywon expressed admiration for Sound Sultan, acknowledging him as a mentor and sharing heartfelt words. He wrote:
“At the resting place of a mentor, where wisdom, guidance, and inspiration now lay in eternal peace. Gone, but forever a part of us. Keep resting #soundsultan @soundsultan ❤️ forever. Jay wana wana in your voice 🙏❤️❤️.”
However, his decision to include several photos of himself at the gravesite sparked criticism from some netizens. Many felt that publicizing such a private moment was inappropriate, and they expressed discomfort with the images being shared online. Despite the tribute’s sincerity, the debate continues regarding the respectful way to honor loved ones who have passed.
