Nigerian singer Jaywon Juwonlo faced backlash from fans after he shared photos of his visit to the graveside of the late Sound Sultan on social media.
In his posts, Jaywon referred to Sound Sultan as a mentor and inspiration, emphasizing the lasting impact he had on many.
However, some fans criticized him for seemingly seeking social media validation through the documentation of his visit. Sound Sultan, who passed away on July 11, 2021, after a battle with cancer, was remembered fondly by many, including fellow artists like 2baba, who visited his grave and paid tribute to him on several occasions.
2baba has expressed his deep appreciation and longing for Sound Sultan since his passing, reflecting on their shared dreams for Nigerian music and vowing to continue celebrating his legacy.
