Counselor Moriah Yeakula Defends Jzyno and Calls for Support in the Music Industry

Counselor Moriah Yeakula has taken to social media to defend Afrobeat star Jzyno against ongoing criticism, calling out those who take jabs at him for his confidence and bold self-promotion. Yeakula emphasized the importance of believing in oneself, noting that Jzyno has not only talked about his greatness but has consistently proven it with his craft.

Yeakula wrote:

“Giving JZYNO his flowers: JZYNO is whoever he thinks he is. I could write a book about how y’all treat people who talk their sh!t because it makes y’all feel inferior and mediocre but that’s not a ‘them’ problem, that’s a ‘you’ problem.”

She pointed out that self-promotion is key to success, especially in the music industry, where many artists, from Jay-Z to Kanye West, have claimed grand titles to solidify their brand. Jzyno, who refers to himself as the “Oracle,” is no different. Yeakula made it clear that his bold claims are not empty words but are backed by results, as his music continues to be played worldwide, with his latest EP surpassing a million streams.

For aspiring Liberian artists, Counselor Yeakula offered valuable advice: instead of letting social media chatter get in the way, they should learn from Jzyno and his team, who clearly understand the business side of music and how to break into the global Afrobeat scene. She emphasized the power of collaboration, stating that “a rising tide lifts all boats,” and encouraged other artists to connect with Jzyno’s team for mutual growth.

In her closing remarks, Yeakula called for unity in the Liberian music industry, stressing that it’s possible to support all artists without tearing any down. Constructive criticism is welcomed, but at the end of the day, she reminded everyone that when Liberian artists succeed, Liberia as a whole wins.

Jzyno’s journey continues to inspire, and as Counselor Yeakula put it, “the sky is big enough for all of them to shine.”
