In a past interview, Azawi, who has written some songs for Jazmine, said that the latter usually shelves songs and by the time of release, they are a bit stale.
"It's just that Lydia has a problem. You write a song today and she releases it three or four years later when its sweetness is 'expired'... I don't know why she does it like that," said Azawi while appearing on Galaxy TV.
"I wrote them a long time ago, some I forgot," Azawi said when she was asked to name the songs.
Some of the songs she wrote for Lydia Jazmine are Omalawo and Binji, a collaboration with Fik Fameica.
Responding to her comments in a recent interview, Jazmine said: "If you write for me a song and I pay you, it's up to me to decide when to release because it's mine."
Jazmine said she has reasons for the way she releases music, adding that no writer has ever called to ask why she hasn't released a song despite having worked with multiple writers.
She termed what Azawi said as "disrespectful".
Azawi started as a songwriter until she met Benon Mugumbya and Julius Kyazze at Swangz Avenue and they encouraged her to switch to swinging.
Before she met the Swangz Avenue co-founders, she had also written songs for Carol Nantongo and Eddy Kenzo.
She has said in interviews that she had originally wanted Winnie Nwagi to sing Quinamino, her breakthrough song.
Azawi still writes most of her songs but she has said she is no longer heavily invested in writing for other artistes.
