    Former NFF president Pinnick sues Davido for N2.3bn over breach of contract

    The former president of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, has filed a lawsuit against Afrobeat musician David Adeleke, professionally known as Davido. The lawsuit is seeking N2.3 billion in damages and a public apology to be issued by Davido over a four-day period, in connection with an alleged breach of a performance agreement.

    The lawsuit was filed in the Delta State High Court in Effurun. According to the lawsuit, Davido was contracted to perform at the 19th edition of the concert on October 6, 2023, for a fee of N70 million. However, despite receiving full payment, Davido failed to appear at the event.

    Brownhill Investments is seeking damages totaling N2 billion, legal and professional fees of N150 million, and an additional N30 million for the cost of filing the lawsuit. The company is also requesting the court to compel Davido to issue a public apology on his social media accounts and in two national daily newspapers for four consecutive days.

    The lawsuit outlines that in early 2023, Davido initiated contact with Brownhill Investments to secure a booking for the concert. Both parties agreed on a fee of N70 million, which was duly paid in full on April 6, 2023. Furthermore, Davido had also recorded a promotional video for the event.

  • Abu Salami accuses Davido of debt, secret cult involvement, and threats

    Abu Salami accuses Davido of debt, secret cult involvement, and threats

    The ongoing social media drama between Abu Salami and music sensation David Adeleke, known as Davido, has continued to captivate online audiences.

    Business mogul, Abu Salami, has persistently called out the music star for a purported debt exceeding N500 million.

    In a recently circulated video that quickly went viral on social media, Abu Salami boldly asserted his refusal to be intimidated. He alleged that Davido is affiliated with a secret cult and had attempted to recruit him into the group, an offer he vehemently declined. Additionally, Abu accused Davido of employing threats involving his wealthy father, Deji Adeleke.

    Furthermore, Abu Salami claimed that he had incurred debt due to Davido’s actions, contending that the boss of the DMW (Davido Music Worldwide) label had a history of swindling individuals and living a fabricated lifestyle to impress the public.

    To compound the situation, Abu Salami noted that negotiations to recover the debt from Davido had reached a standstill, as the singer purportedly lacked the financial means to settle the outstanding amount. The ongoing social media feud between these two figures has left the online community eagerly awaiting further developments and responses.

    To impress everyone, he is robbing people and leading a false life.

    Because he lacks the funds to repay his debts, negotiations with him have failed, Abu said in part.

    Some of the responses that followed the video are shown below.

    Davido belongs to a cult and wanted to introduce me to it, I refused.

    official_dabebe: “Is this even possible? 001 cannot be owing someone na.”

    just_kanyin: “He is voicing out now,I don’t want to hear justice for kini kan! He is voicing out now o!”

    selflovevick: “Is not same davido that just bought chi a house.”

    posh_orla: “I like David yeah, but I’m not cool with the fact that he collects money for shows/businesses and doesn’t play his part. Let’s call a spade a spade, this is really not a good attitude.”

    pathezy4l: “500m debt and na online you day? You never wipe law suit? Weldone.”

    The DMW Boss shared this insight during a candid interview with ABC News, where he illustrated the global appeal and recognition of the Afrobeats genre.

    The manager, whose real name is Isreal Afeare, has received heartfelt birthday wishes from celebrities and friends.

    To commemorate his birthday, Israel expressed gratitude to God for the gift of life and recounted a harrowing incident from his past.

    In 2001, he was abducted for potential ritual purposes while travelling from Lagos to Ibadan.

    Israel recounted being forcibly taken into a vehicle by three others, making a total of four kidnappers, and subsequently transported to a dense forest.

    However, in an unexpected turn of events, the kidnappers decided to release him, labelling him a “bad market” because his resistance was too strong, making him unsuitable for their intended ritual.

    Remarkably, the kidnappers even gave him N200, adding to the N40 he had in his pocket for transportation fare.

    Isreal DMW wrote: “Four of us were kidnapped for rituals in 2001, on our way from Lagos to Ibadan, after entering a vehicle.

    “They took us to a very tick forest. I was the only one allowed to go, saying I was a very bad market. They gave me 200 to add to my already 40 naira for transportation. I just give glory to God Almighty.”

  • Davido’s alleged baby mama Anita apologises to Chioma

    Davido’s alleged baby mama, Anita, has issued an apology to Chioma, the legal wife of the afrobeats singer. This apology comes after Anita had previously taunted and made derogatory comments about Chioma, even referring to her as a “pity wife.” Anita had engaged in contentious behavior by making accusations against Chioma.

    A few weeks prior to her public apology, Anita had posted an ultrasound scan image, claiming to be pregnant with Davido’s child. However, sharp-eyed Nigerians quickly exposed her deceit when they discovered that she had taken the ultrasound image from Google.

    Despite their earlier disagreements and dubious behavior, Anita reached out to Chioma with a sincere apology.

    In the statement, she admitted that her previous comments and actions were rooted in hurt and frustration.

    “l am going through a tramatic & tragic time in my life. I honestly don’t want to speak on it & don’t need to, or have to speak on it. It’s too much to bear right now. I’m disquieted by all of the events that have taken place. The only thing I will say is i regret that I let my pain and feelings of betrayal allow me to turn me against another woman. 

    “So, I apologise to Chioma. I never intended to speak on you or your child. Losing is never a good feeling, being hurt by someone you love and care about is not a good feeling.

    “Moving forward i would prefer to be known for the light i bring into the world. Peace & Love,“ she wrote.

    Davido declines bottled water at Mohbad’s candlelight memorial

    Nigerian Afrobeats singer Davido paid tribute to his late colleague, Mohbad, in a quiet yet highly lyrical manner, showing solidarity and a strong knowledge of life’s hidden risks.

    Friends, fans, and fellow artists gathered to pay their respects during Mohbad’s candlelight service, which was filled with melancholy and nostalgia. The light from the candles signified the passing part of life, which was heavy with whispered farewells and unshed tears

    Amidst this somber assembly, a moment unfolded, silent yet profound, reflecting the underlying grief in many hearts. While on stage, Davido was offered a bottle of water, which he declined. To an outsider, this might appear inconsequential, a mere preference. Yet, those familiar with Mohbad’s tragic passing saw depth in this simple act. It wasn’t just a rejection; it was an echo of Mohbad’s final painful revelation, a whisper of camaraderie, and possibly, a shadow of self-preservation.

    Before his untimely demise, Mohbad shared a haunting video from his hospital bed, alleging that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) had given him a poisoned water bottle. This claim was fraught with anguish and betrayal, a chilling reminder of the dangers that sometimes hide behind innocence.

    Davido’s refusal held greater significance than a personal choice; it was a silent vigil for a fellow artist who had suffered. It was an acknowledgment of unspoken fears, a quiet commitment to stay cautious and vigilant.

    Following Mohbad’s untimely demise, his devoted fans and sympathizers have fervently advocated for a thorough investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding his death.

    The candlelight procession commenced at the Lekki Phase One Gate area of Lagos, where admirers and colleagues gathered at 5 p.m. The assembled crowd engaged in a peaceful procession, marked by dancing and the reverberation of praises in honor of the departed artist, with his music resonating in the background.

    Clothed uniformly in white T-shirts, they marched collectively, bearing placards that fervently called for justice on behalf of the artist and displayed poignant posters featuring his image.

    Their procession guided them to Muri Okunola Park, where the commemorative concert commenced promptly at 8 p.m.

    The gathering was notably substantial, predominantly consisting of young individuals, all coming together to pay their respects and honor the memory of the late singer and rapper.

    A private jet belonging to Chief Adeleke, father of Afrobeat star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has reportedly caught fire just before take off.

    The fire incident reportedly occurred at the domestic wing of the Airport at about 9:am when the jet was about to take off from Lagos to Abuja. 

    Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State and his aides, the uncle of Davido reportedly made it out of the private jet they boarded alive. 

    A Bombadier Global Express 6000 reportedly caught fire at takeoff at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos by chance, according to a report by leadership.

    The report stated that, the jet with Governor Adeleke and his aides on board, had taxied to the end of the runway shortly before departure when a loud explosion was heard from the engine of the jet, causing it to abort take-off immediately.

    According to the report, the jet had been parked at the airport’s Executive Jet hangar before its planned takeoff.

    According to Sam Iwuajoku, the chief executive officer of Executive Jets, the owner of the hangar where the private jet was parked, the Chief Adeleke’s private jet had Foreign Object Damage (FOD), resulting in a high temperature, which led to the explosion.

    “At take-off, the engine had high temperature and it was caused by bird nest in one of the engines of the aircraft. It happened when an aircraft is parked and not properly covered so, birds will build their nest and anything they bring into the aircraft can spark high temperature.” Sam Iwuajoku told the publication 

    “It happened to one of my aircraft in 2021, we had to remove the engine and the engine was in Germany for 14 months. So, it’s a common thing in Africa because we have birds around,” he added

    Afrobeat superstar Davido is in the news after unexpectedly announcing album tours throughout Europe.

    Davido stated in his announcement that since the release of his most recent album, performing for his fans has been one of his greatest joys in life.

    However, due to a few problems, he has chosen to move the remainder of his previously scheduled shows across Europe from this year to the first quarter of 2024.

    “Someone on Davido’s private jet is a drug trafficker” -Kemi Olunloyo alleges

    Investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo has made startling allegations against Nigerian music artist Davido. Known for her unconventional assertions and speculations, Olunloyo recently suggested a surprising connection between Davido‘s private jet and potential drug trafficking.

    Olunloyo’s statement has garnered significant attention and raised many eyebrows due to its implication of a serious and legally consequential matter.

    Accusing an individual or their assets of involvement in drug trafficking is a grave allegation with profound legal and reputational ramifications.

    It is worth noting that Kemi Olunloyo acknowledges that Davido may not be aware of any such illicit activity involving his private jet. Her intention appears to be to bring attention to a matter of concern.

    “Urgent: Someone on Davido’s private jet is a drug trafficker. Many pilots are refusing to fly the Adeleke jet. Davido must weed them out. Drug abuse keeps ruining lives. David must help curb this war on drugs before he gets into serious trouble with global drug enforcement agencies,” she wrote.*

    She enthusiastically embarked on preparing her unique concoction, playfully informing her viewers of her intention to indulge in a “plate of fried rice.” With zest, she artfully tackled her dish, savoring each moment.

    Davido, genuinely moved by her content, took the initiative to contact Tunde Ednut, requesting Okoli’s contact details. His intention was to commend her craftsmanship, as the blogger noted that her work had provided him with entertainment.

    Davido mourns with Wizkid after his mum’s death

    Nigerian musician Davido has expressed his deepest condolences to his brother Wizkid, who lost his mum over the weekend.

    In a Twitter post, he said that he will pray for the ‘Essence’ hitmaker as he adjusts to the tragic news. “Praying for you my brother @wizkidayo Sadness flies away on the wings of time,” the post read.

    This comes after Wizkid’s manager, Sunday Aare, revealed on Friday that the Nigerian Afrobeat musician, born Ayodeji Balogun, had passed away.

    He broke the news stating: “Yes, she died this morning, at about 1.30 am.”

    The 33-year-old Grammy winner has not released a statement about his loss to the public yet.

    In 2022, Davido had an encounter with Mrs Balogun, who he describes as amazing, at the airport.

    Olivetheboy becomes a member of Sony Music’s Columbia Records

    A rising star in the Ghanaian Afrobeats scene, Olivetheboy, has officially signed a groundbreaking contract with Sony ,Music’s Columbia Records under the subsidiary, Bu Vision Ent.

    This momentous collaboration places Olivetheboy in the esteemed company of African icons such as D’Banj, Davido, Wizkid, and the legendary Angelique Kidjo, who have all partnered with Sony Music.

    The partnership, orchestrated by Bu Vision founder and Columbia’s Executive Vice President Bu Thiam in collaboration with Olivetheboy’s management team, Loop Music/FulLCircL Management Ltd, was formally established over the weekend.

    The official unveiling of this significant union is scheduled for Friday, August 24, 2023.

    Olivetheboy caught the attention of Sony/Columbia Records through Bu Vision in May 2023, following the global success of his hit single, “Goodsin.”

    The track garnered immense recognition, ranking as the most-streamed Ghanaian single of 2023 and solidifying Olivetheboy’s status as one of Ghana’s hottest artists this year, according to Chartmetrics’ midyear report.

    Columbia EVP Bu Thiam personally visited Ghana in June, finalizing the transformative deal last weekend after three months of negotiations.

    Under the new partnership, Bu Vision will oversee Olivetheboy’s A&R (Artists and Repertoire), while Sony/Columbia Records will manage all aspects of licensing, promotion, and distribution for his creative works. Notably, Loop Music/FulLCircL Management Ltd is expected to retain ownership of Olivetheboy’s recordings, consistent with their current practices.

    Olivetheboy’s agreement with Sony/Columbia, the world’s second-largest major music label, represents a groundbreaking development. This marks only the label’s second venture into the Ghanaian market, having previously signed Gyakie in 2021.

    Beyond solidifying Olivetheboy’s stature as a leading African talent, this achievement contributes to Ghana’s rapid ascent on the global music stage.

    Nigerian Nobel-Prize winning writer, Wole Soyinka, has come to the defense of Afrobeats sensation Davido following the controversy surrounding a music video that offended certain members of the Muslim community.

    The music video in question was shared by Davido, featuring another artist signed to his record label, and reportedly depicted men dancing outside a mosque. This depiction sparked outrage among some Muslim circles, leading to the tearing down of Davido’s posters, as reported by local media.

    “I have not seen the clip, but I insist on the right of the artiste to deploy dance in a religious setting as a fundamental given,” Soyinka said.

    Several high-profile figures have condemned the video, including former lawmaker Shehu Sani, who tweeted that Davido should apologise because fans were “offended” by the video.

As a result, she has taken to Instagram Live to share her experiences and offer advice to women on how to keep a man committed.

    During her Instagram Live session, Anita asserted that she believes she is more attractive and wealthier than those who criticize her, including Davido’s other baby mamas. She also made controversial remarks about Davido’s wife, Chioma, suggesting that Chioma had to resort to extreme measures, such as terminating a pregnancy, to secure a marriage proposal from Davido.

    As her claims gained attention, social media users expressed various reactions. Some were critical of Anita’s actions, calling her shameless and questioning her motives, while also holding Davido accountable for putting himself and his wife in such a situation. Others empathized with Chioma, pointing out that relationships should be based on responsibility and respect.

    Despite the criticisms and insults directed at Anita, there were also comments acknowledging her resilience and determination, as she seems undeterred by the backlash she receives. Some users urged others to stop engaging in conflicts with her online, suggesting that she may thrive on the attention and negativity.

This, ladies and gentlemen is why you should be responsible. Doing every and anything because you can is not a flex, it’s irresponsible.”

    “In Salah, Muslims remember our Lord, Allah, express our love and respect for Him and invoke and strive to express our gratitude towards Him. The notion is that the Salah activity brings the individual face-to-face with God.

    Through his humanitarian organization, the David Adeleke Foundation (DAF), Davido has made a significant donation of N237,000,000.00 (approximately $300,000) to orphans across Nigeria.

    In a statement released on July 20, 2023, Davido emphasized the foundation’s mission to continually support the less fortunate in the country and expressed his satisfaction with the organization’s ongoing work.

    Burna Boy finally responds to ‘new cat’ comment

    African Giant, Burna Boy, has at last responded to Davido calling him a “new cat” in the music business in a way that demonstrates his assurance and self-assurance.

    The “new-cats vs. old-cats” feud that developed in response to Davido‘s remarks appeared to be centred on the standing and hierarchy of musicians in the Nigerian music industry.

    In Dvaido’s opinion, Wizkid and other “old cats” like himself deserve praise for having paved the way for artists like Burna Boy, Rema, and others who are currently in charge of the music industry.

    But Burna who has achieved significant success and international recognition for his music, likely felt the need to establish himself as one of the top-tier artistes in the industry.

    Weeks later, in a recent chat with Apple Music’s Ebro, Burna Boy finally opened up on his thoughts regarding the matter.

    He emphasised that it is a good thing to be called a ‘new cat’ since it gives him a sense of youthfulness.

    “It is a good thing that people think my movement is new. I love that. Because it keeps me young. It means like, I can do so much more, you know. It stretches my life span.

    ‘I’m living longer than I thought I would than I even planned to, you know,” he said.

    Nonetheless, the debate stirs on as his fans have argued on his behalf that he is among the old cats, if not, even better than them.

    Don Jazzy has explained why he declined the chance to sign Afrobeats legends Wizkid and Davido to his now-defunct record label, Mo’hits.

    The music executive made the disclosure on Fisayo Fosudo’s Leaderboard podcast.

    Don Jazzy clarified that he was unable to sign Wizkid because Banky W, the CEO of EME Records, had already seized the chance to do so.

    In the case of Davido, Don Jazzy established that he shot down the opportunity to sign him because he believed the artiste could find success on his own.

    Don Jazzy was however sad for declining the opportunity to sign talents like Simi and Teni.

    Falz, a rapper, was mentioned as a possible signing candidate, but the deal ultimately fell through.

    He said: “I like Simi, I didn’t sign her. I wish I did. I like Teni, but I didn’t sign her. I wish I did. I had the opportunity of signing Davido but I didn’t because I kind of figured that he would be fine. Wizkid, obviously, I couldn’t because Banky W got to him first. That would have been amazing. Falz, I love his work. We almost had a deal.”

    I might lose my baby because I’m suffering from an ectopic pregnancy – Davido’s Paris baby mama

    Davido’s Paris baby mama, Ivanna Bay, has disclosed her struggle with an ectopic pregnancy and the possibility of a miscarriage.

    Sharing her story on social media, she described enduring persistent bleeding, intense pain, and an urgent trip to the emergency room.

    “I just woke up with the biggest pain ever in my stomach but I can feel it through my entire body… While I keep bleeding I can’t stop crying right now… I am going to the emergency.”

    Following her hospital update, where she criticized those finding joy in her misfortune, Ivanna Bay has now turned to social media once again to inform the public about the potential occurrence of a miscarriage.

    “They told me that I am either doing an ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage,” Bay wrote. “My body is failing me and there’s nothing I can do. I hope those who wish me hell are happy now…you won!.”
