Nigerian musician and producer, Don Jazzy has been made to
apologize after he reportedly body-shamed an award-winning
British-Nigerian blogger, Chidera Eggerue (aka Slumflower) by sharing a
meme that ridiculed the woman’s body.
The Mavin boss shared a photo collage featuring 4 women. Each woman
was graded with a certain percentage, based on their looks. Eggerue was
the first woman in the photo with a grade of 1% – 25%.
Rihanna was also featured in the photo with a grade of 76% – 100%,
which of course, Don Jazzy chose. However, Eggerue didn’t find the joke
funny as she tweeted Don Jazzy saying: “I love being body shamed and slandered by Nigerian musicians. Thank you for being horrible @DONJAZZY. Hope it’s worth it!”
Seeing his error, the musician tendered an unreserved apology to Eggerue saying: “Wasn’t my intention to do that. Post has been deleted immediately. Pls accept my sincere apology. ????????”
