Nigerian music industry veteran Don Jazzy has sparked a conversation about gender disparity in the country's music scene. The Mavin Records founder recently shared a tweet echoing a netizen's observation about the challenges faced by female artists.

The discussion began with a post by an X user identified as @Lahon199x who expressed the belief that Nigerian audiences are less receptive to music by female artists compared to their male counterparts. "@Lahon199x" argued that while female musicians from Nigeria are achieving international acclaim, they struggle to attain the same level of recognition within their home country.

Don Jazzy, known for his influence in the Afrobeats scene, retweeted the post adding his own commentary. "And it's so sad," he wrote. "The women put in sooooo much work."

This exchange has reignited discussions about the experiences of female musicians in Nigeria. It highlights the need for a more balanced music industry where talent is valued regardless of gender.
