As netizens continued to debate over the issue, Jaxxtone quote-replied to one of the X posts stating:
"I made Like Jennie who the f*ck is twice lol."
When this post surfaced on the internet, many fans and netizens were outraged by the alleged disrespect directed toward TWICE. They called out Jaxxtone for the "unnecessary and unprofessional comment."
Following the same, the producer made his X account private and deleted the post about TWICE. Here are a few fan reactions regarding the same:
"This post is totally unnecessary and unprofessional, just to provoke attacks towards the group, we demand respect to the artists"
"He could’ve addressed the issue professionally by giving a simple clarification but instead he decided to be weird towards a group of women as if the hate they’re getting isn’t enough." said a fan on X
"You could've just corrected op's information without being shady. Twice are a billion times BIGGER than you and have worked with more professional and mature producers than you." added another fan
"If you want to defend your work, do it with respect. TWICE is one of the biggest and most successful global groups in the industry. If you don’t know them, then you seriously need to learn more about the field you’re in before speaking." commented a netizen
More fans and netizens expressed their displeasure with the comment made by producer Jaxxtone. They urged JYP Entertainment, the agency of TWICE, to protect the group and take action against the comment made by Jaxxtone.
"A group that is popular than YOU. worry about the fact that you only get a hit tweet bcs of twice!" stated a fan
"get tf up and do something @jypnation your artist is getting dragged by a nugu producer!" added an X user
"He was EXTREMELY disrespectful not only towards Twice; He was disrespectful towards the other producers that worked on Like Jennie and on This is for, he was disrespectful towars the compositors, Towards JEN NIE AND TWICE. A Producer should've NEVER say this" said a netizen
"First of all: there was no mention of twice in post the producer quoted so his outburst on them was unprovoked, so onces protected Twice. Second of all: people just pointed out a sample, using a sample is nothing wrong the producer had no reason to "defend" his work" commented another X user
