If you haven’t seen the recent session of “The Honest Bunch Podcast,” I recommend watching it with an open mind. The episode addresses the ongoing narrative about “Mark Angel Comedy” and provides insights that might change your perspective. Even though there are allegations
I try to make sense of why talented artists often find themselves trapped in the struggle of building a name through record labels that recognize their potential but offer contracts the artists don’t fully understand. Labels like Eric Many, Tinny, and G-Worldwide have affected
In March, I discussed P. Diddy's struggles, unable to express himself online. I predicted a similar scenario unfolding in Nigeria's music industry in 2024, and it's already happening. Rumors swirl around Peter and Paul of Psquare and their brother Jude, along with the EFFC case
Watching Rema's clip on The Breakfast Club, his responses to certain questions had me laughing. First, let me say I was once a fan because I recognized your growth and the audience you command. When fate and the universe brought you and Selena Gomez together for "Calm Down," it
Reading Wizkid's recent tweet on X about Don Jazzy got me laughing. What can Nigerian musicians do without Wizkid? Except “Olamide and Timaya”Be careful when reading this thread don't get carried away by your emotions and ignore the facts we can all see or search online.
Without being able to express himself on social media or say anything, P Diddy's current situation speaks volumes about life. Whether he's right or wrong, all we see is change. Remember '2pac interview in 1996'? To all Nigerian celebrities in music and movies, feeling invincible
"The Year I Turned 21" by Ayra Starr, which has already made 232 million on Spotify, demonstrates that collective effort can pave the way in unimaginable ways. However, from listening to the album, I have some observations. Including her family's voices in the album is a nice
What is the purpose of the carnival that brings the world to a pause, showcasing Nigeria's rich culture in a positive light? The "Ojude Oba" festival in Ijebu Ode amazes me. As a son of the soil through my mother, I'm fascinated by this tradition that began with 4-6 Muslim
"Olufunmi" was created by Styl-Plus 18 years ago. With Id Cabasa, Fireboy DML, Odumodublvck, Boj, and Joeboy reawakening it as "Olufunmi Reimagined," there's a noticeable difference in how today's artists work compared to the oldies. Personally and respectfully, if I play both
The distinction between Olamide and Wizkid extends beyond mere perception. Personally, I hold Olamide in high regard and believe he deserves respect comparable to, if not more than, Wizkid. In one of his earlier songs, Olamide expressed, "Mi ni Oun be Wizkid I for dey voice
If you're a die-hard fan of BNXN (formerly Buju), you might not like this thread. He's repeating very similar vibes in most of the tracks. Half of the album could be condensed into one track. I would rate this album 5/10 😏🤔. He needs to bring back the energy from his first and
It’s funny how people choose sides on this matter without understanding the basics of social media. You can’t tag someone with so much to lose based on assumptions and expect no reaction. Toyin Abraham is not Davido or Olamide, and likewise, “Big Ayo” shouldn’t let frustration
Sometimes people get so caught up in the glamour of fame that they forget the individuals working behind the scenes. When names like Wizkid, Burna Boy, or Davido are mentioned internationally, their managers deserve immense credit for their hard work. Many might not realize what
I found myself laughing while researching for this review. Based on current facts and predictions, I’m projecting something most people won’t agree with due to their biases. While Wizkid might have created an evergreen album with *Superstar*, Asake has been able to achieve

If you're a true Yoruba speaker, the first track will give you a strong sense of what to expect from Asake. The closing lines of track 1 hint at what's to come before you even start. I think Asake is about to overtake Burna boy internationally.This album is packed with stories
Some fans are accusing YBNL of favoritism between Asake and Fireboy's albums. The truth is, most Nigerian record labels lack structured management, and conflicts arise when labels spend money for the artists instead of giving it to them. Also Fireboy's management lacks the strong
Whether they agree or not, Afrobeats is currently leading as one of the most consumed music genres worldwide. Some people believe that Drake should be credited for popularizing the genre among foreigners because he jumped on Wizkid's "Come Closer." Despite the criticism Wizkid
Social media runs the world now, and if the Burna Boy and Speed Darlington rumors are true, it’s hilarious and ironic. Why arrest someone for speaking their mind? Burna, you sing about oppression, yet now you’re doing the same thing? What’s next? You called out the Nigerian
Before Mohbad’s death, there was a video where he accused Zinoleesky of not speaking up when they were picked up by the NDLEA. In the video, Mohbad explained that they lied about him, though we couldn’t confirm many details. There were many issues surrounding his former record
Cristiano Ronaldo might be the biggest influencer in the world right now, with his YouTube page generating 37M Subscribers within 24 hours as I write this. But the question is: who is wealthier: footballers or musicians? In my opinion, musicians will always be richer, especially
The movie "Divorce in the Black" is a great film that will trigger a lot of black people, especially men. Many men in black homes struggle with insecurity due to their upbringing, often influenced by their mother's insecurities or lack of time to raise them properly. At the same
Stay focused on the message, not their picture. Do you think Tyla is better than Ayra Starr? 🤔 Another question: Don't we think allowing Grammy to create a category for us is not to help us but to create enmity among African countries? Remember, America is one country, Africa is
With the ongoing saga between Wizkid and Davido, as I mentioned yesterday, we need to pause, be practical, and set aside our sentiments. Whether we like it or not, it’s business at the end of the day, one will succeed, and the other may fall short. That’s just the reality of
25 years ago, Seyi Sodimu released "Love Me Jeje," and now Tems has sampled the same song. It's interesting to hear the same tune, which was once one of the best songs, being revisited. Tems' version isn't surprising, but it's something we should see more from Gen Z, as it helps
It's not just what Paulo said during his live session with Daddy Freeze that matters, but the timing of it all that carries the most weight. The real question people in the music business should be asking is why Paulo is suddenly granting interviews. Most people don't even know
Afàméfùnà: An Nwa-Boi Story” is a mixed story showcasing three things: Igbo individuals experiencing relocation from Igboland to Yorubaland to hustle, shedding light on the misconception among Yoruba in Lagos that all Igbos in Lagos are the same. This movie also showcases
Wizkid has created a path no one else has been able to replicate, not even Davido or Burna Boy. Thirteen years ago, a young boy named Wizkid entered the limelight with his album "Superstar." To this day, no one has produced an album with the same impact and influence. Even Wizkid
For some reason, Nigerians don't appreciate good music the kind that has real impact and meaning through its lyrics. Take Llona's latest album “Homeless” for example. Why isn’t this album the talk of the town? From the first to the last track, every song reflects true-life
1 hour 27 minutes got me thinking and asking: who writes movies like this, and how do they come up with all these lines and fictions about what could happen in the future? 15 years ago, no one would have thought Tesla would end up making a car that can drive itself. Even though
Most men in Yorubaland won't understand the significance of a mother and wife in the life of a strong man until they lose both. Many names in Afrobeats, Fuji, and other genres struggle with their fame once they lost both. "ORISA" is a movie that we haven't seen in two decades in
Falz’s recent EP track "Who Go Pay" feels almost prophetic with the lyrics, "I dey lock up, I dey mind myself, make I no dey caught up in this wild affair." It’s surprising how he handled the recent situation. Hearing Femi Falana's name makes you immediately question, “This can't
First, make sure to listen to Future's new album titled 'WE DON'T TRUST YOU' it's deep and dope 🔥, especially if you're a fan. But let's dive into the first track. What's happening between Drake and Future? For those familiar with their history, please share your thoughts to
Sometimes, you come across questions that are easy to answer, while others are uncomfortable to explain, and some remain a mystery. I believe Boyspyce’s situation falls into the mystery category. How does someone get signed to Mavin, go from good to bad so quickly, and no one can
It took me a while to compose this intro, but as I listened, I realized the EP is only 14 minutes and 36 seconds long. However, you might feel like you've been immersed for 14 hours and 36 minutes. If you're a Rema 💯fan, you're going to love this thread. Let's dive in! 🎶🚀
At 1 hour and 54 minutes, the borders were perpetually open, urging the investment of millions and the settling down, as borders only keep out the poor. Death by bullet or death by hunger, what distinction lies between the two? 140 years ago, no visa was required to enter any
I will use track 13 of Burna Boy's album, 'I TOLD THEM,' to explain my short write-up about this short clip from Emeka Ike's interview on Channels. If you are a man out there, carefully make sure you understand this interview very well not just because of his story alone but for
"Bad Boys: Ride or Die" doesn't offer much new compared to past sequels. It's still all about action and comedy. The main difference this time is that both Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are noticeably older, making it hard for them to fit into their roles as bad boys. Martin
I don't believe there are any artists in the world with a stronger connection than Chris Brown and Davido. Many artists are hesitant to collaborate extensively due to social media's influence, but these two have managed it over the years. Their latest collaboration, "Hmmm," marks

When I reviewed P. Diddy's case a few months ago, I mentioned that some Nigerian celebrities might need to be careful not necessarily because they're following P. Diddy's path, but because they're engaging in actions that don't fit their status and caliber. It would be better if
When I mentioned yesterday that we were going to start discussing legends, I wasn't just referring to D'banj and Don Jazzy; I meant their entire crew. While others are doing fine, one must ask, at whose benefit? Is the break up?, D'banj's new single "Since 04" is excellent, but
