Music executive Don Jazzy has cautioned an X user over a false claim that he is expecting a child with the mother of singer Ayra Starr.
The user, identified simply as AJ, shared a picture and video of Don Jazzy with Ayra Starr’s mother, claiming that the pair were celebrating the arrival of an unborn child.
“Don Jazzy and Ayra Starr’s happily celebrate as they prepare to welcome their unborn baby,” the post reads.
Responding sarcastically on X, Don Jazzy urged the user’s family members to “talk sense to you”.
“Let me first tag and beg your family members to talk sense to you now o,” he wrote.
