    The ‘OBO’ crooner said his dad was initially against his musical career and wanted him to focus on his education.

    Davido revealed this when he featured on Ebro in the Morning Show on Hot 97FM, New York, United States on the heels of his album release.

    The station shared the interview on Youtube on Friday.

    Davido said his dad, at different times, sent cops to arrest him and disrupt shows he was billed to perform at.

    “He sent police to get me… like he sees a billboard; for example, ‘Davido performing, Wizkid performing’. He would send police to arrest everybody– the show promoter if you’re there (you would be arrested),” he told the FM station as he and the show presenters laughed about it.

    When asked why his dad was doing that, Davido said, “So, I gotta go back to school.”

    “He kept on doing it. Then there was one time. This is where I knew that ‘Oh I’m lit!’. They (the police) came and got me. Then I’m in the cell and the dude that got the keys his phone rings, and it’s my song! I said ‘that’s me’. He said ‘you’re Davido?’. I said ‘yes!’. And he let me go.”

    He said after then he dropped a record that became big in Africa. “The president was playing it,” he boasted.

    When the singer was asked when his dad stopped getting him arrested, Davido said, “I finished school. But I had to do like a part-time stuff.”

    He noted that his father didn’t hate music, he wanted him to be serious with his education.

    “Not that he hated music, he just wanted me to go to school. And I feel like, he wants that whatever I’m gonna do, I have to be successful,” he added.

    He said his father now called him to ask what next, adding that his dad was proud of him, and he was his number one fan.

    “He’s calling, asking me what next. He’s like over-asking questions,” he added.

    Nigerian music superstar, David Adeleke, better known by his stage name, Davido, has revealed that his colleague, Ayodeji Balogun popularly called Wizkid, spoke to him on the phone every week after the death of his son, Ifeanyi.

    Davido made this known in an interview on the Morning Show on Hot 97FM, New York, which was shared on Saturday.

    Rema denies beefing Davido

    Rema has refuted rumours that he and Davido, a more senior colleague, are at odds. The Marvin Records artist discussed his alleged dispute with Omo Baba Olowo in an interview with foreign journalist DJ Ebro.

    Rema asserted that it was just a rumour and further stated his admiration for his senior colleagues in the Nigerian music business. He claims that he steers clear of conflict, is an introvert, and despises disputes.

    Back in December 2022, former president of the United State of America, Barack Obama has dropped his traditional playlist and predictably, some top Nigerian artists made the list.

    The first black president to occupy the White House shared the content of his favourite tunes for the year on his Twitter platform- which elicited a plethora of relations from tweeps as expected.

    Evidently, Burna Boy’s Last Last was the first song listed by Barack Obama, followed by Ayra Starr’s Rush and Rema’s Calm Down.

    Sharing the tweet, Barack Obama emphasized the love behind spreading his favourite playlist while asking to know other songs to add.

    “I always enjoy sharing my end of year music playlist with all of you — and this year we heard a lot of great songs. Here are some of my favorites. Are there any songs or artists I should check out?”

    Reacting to the development, Rema thanked Obama for seeing him as someone worth listening to just like in 2019. The ‘Ginger Me’ crooner said he feels the same way he felt in 2019 when his name also made the list.

    He wrote; ”I feel the same way I did in 2019 when I saw my Name on this list, I’m very grateful. ”

    In late 2022, it was reported that Davido and Chioma tied the knot days after their son Ifeanyi passed away.

    Recall that Davido after the demise of his son, Ifeanyi, last year, promised to make a comeback on social media in March 2023.

    Many of the singer’s fans have waited patiently for him expecting that he will make an appearance or release a project.

    Some of his fans as a result took to the streets to protest against the singer’s absence.

    One of the placards they carried had on it: “Baddest it’s March already please come out.”

  • Nigerians criticise Davido for liking a tweet against Labour Party

    Nigerians criticise Davido for liking a tweet against Labour Party

    Nigerians have criticized Davido on social media for what they believe to be an assault on the Obedient movement.

    The musician reportedly enjoyed a video that activist Deji Adeyanju shared in which she claimed that the Labour Party was also involved in the rigging of the election.

    In a video he posted over the weekend, Adeyanju alleged that some people were tampering with the results on the ballots, just like the APC and PDP.

    Checking Davido’s Twitter account revealed that he had liked the message, which infuriated his supporters, many of whom are Obedient movement members.

    Those who hauled him found his actions even more troubling because he had never previously concealed his allegiance to the Peoples Democratic Party

    Probably sensing danger, Davido unlike the post shelve himself from any blame but did not stop angry fans from venting their spleen on him.

    A tweep known as @itzbasito expressed surprise because he thought the DMW boss had stayed off social media since last year.

    “Thought they said Davido is offline?” he wrote.

    Ghanaian lady almost collapses in church as her boyfriend proposes to her

    It appears that marriage proposals in the church are gradually becoming a trend among Christians in 2023.

    Quite recently, two young people got social media talking after one Christian brother surprised his girlfriend in church and proposed to her in front of the entire congregation.

    After all the positive reactions that the video received, there has been another surprise proposal in the church.

    A video sighted by zionfelix.net has another Christian brother called Jesse going on his knees to ask his girlfriend, Gladys, and asking her to be his wife in front of the entire congregation.

    The lady, who was obviously one of the few who didn’t know about this planned proposal was busily doing her work as the videographer of their church.

    Out of the blue, the Christian brother appeared behind her, got on his knees, and touched her hand.

    As soon as she saw the ring in the hand of her boyfriend, the Christian sister almost fainted in the church, and one of the gentlemen had to rush to get the camera from her hand.

    Well, she accepted the proposal and took the ring. The two love birds shed some tears and eventually a warm embrace.

  • Davido’s uncle allegedly sacked after two months of being sworn in as Osun State governor

    Davido’s uncle allegedly sacked after two months of being sworn in as Osun State governor

    The Election Petition Tribunal has reportedly declared APC’s Adegboyega Oyetola as the winner of the Osun State governorship election which was held on Saturday, July 16, 2022.

    The tribunal made the declaration as it annulled the victory of the PDP’s Ademola Adeleke on Friday, January 27, 2023.

    Justice Tetsea Kume, while delivering a majority decision declared that INEC did not comply substantially with the Constitution and the provisions of the Electoral Act.

    He subsequently deducted the over-voting observed from the votes scored by the candidates and declared that Oyetola won the election, having polled 314, 921, while Adeleke’s score came down to 290, 266.

    One can recall that Davido’s first appearance after the death of his son was at his uncle, Ademola Adeleke’s governorship inauguration.

    Mr. Ademola Adeleke was sworn in as the sixth governor of Osun State on November 27, 2022.

  • ‘You will pay back every dollar’ – Bullgod as he threatens legal action against Appietus

    ‘You will pay back every dollar’ – Bullgod as he threatens legal action against Appietus

    Artiste manager, Bullgod has declared ‘war’ against popular sound engineer, Appietus on social media.

    Bullgod, who owns Bullhaus Entertainment, the record label under which Ghanaian artistes 5Five released some banging hits, has called out Appietus for greed and theft.

    Appietus produced the beat for their monster hit ‘Muje Baya’ sometime in 2010 but he is still making money from the song at the blind side of Bullgod and the artistes involved.

    The beats maker disclosed this in a discussion with Citi TV while narrating how he is cashing out thousands of dollars, after uploading some songs he once produced on digital stores.

    “The big boys in Nigeria are doing business. I’m referring to Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy and co. They have entered the digital world. Some white guy came to tell me about the digital world and how it started. Some Israelite, he flew all the way to Ghana. One day he said, let me put your songs there and I gave him. He asked of my dollar account and I gave him. One day, I got an alert and I had to call the bank to trace it because I was shocked. Then I started chopping the money.

    “As I was chopping, I was still scared because I thought someone made a mistake. After three months, I had another alert and I asked myself who at all was sending me the money. I’m talking about thousands of dollars. One day, I was going through my email and I saw that it came from the digital guys,” he stated.

    This development has angered Bullgod to an extent that he has stormed social media with threats of taking legal action against Appietus.

    Bullogod who insists that Appietus is making money off his sweat and that of his artistes, has asked the latter to pay back every dime accrued from their songs so far.

    “YOU WILL PAY FOR EVERY DOLLAR YOU COLLECTED OFF MY INVESTMENTS AND YOU WILL PAY WITH INTEREST. You have been feeding your family and yourself with our investments for almost 10 years by selling 5Five songs — executive produced and promoted by Bullhaus Entertainment on digital platforms globally without our permission. GET READY – TIME TO PAY UP. You will hear from our counsellors. #INDUSTRYTHEFT #focusonGod #sikanhyiraadomaseda,”

    Eagle-eyed social media users have made an interesting speculation about Nigerian singer Davido’s wife, Chioma, following a video of the couple that recently went viral on social media.

    A video of the lovebirds showing off their new tattoos bearing each other’s names on their ring fingers recently made the rounds online and received massive applause from social media users as well as love reactions.


    However, aside from the tattoos, some social media users noticed Chioma was busy on a menstrual cycle tracking app while the tattoo artist worked on her finger.

    After spotting the app on Chioma’s device, many wondered if the pair are expecting another child and have started sending in congratulatory messages.

    Hopefully, God will bless the couple with another adorable and lovely child.

    Nigerian musician, Davido and his wife, Chioma Rowland Adeleke, have both gotten tattoos of each other’s names on their ring fingers.

    In a video shared by Linda Ikeja’s Instagram handle, the couple were captured getting their tattoo inked and filmed.

    However, it is uncertain if Davido 30, and Chioma, 27, got their inking done by the same tattoo artist and if this was done in their house or at the tattoo artist’s shop.

    The inking of their names comes after it was confirmed a month ago that the couple had gotten married in a private ceremony following the demise of their son.

    Wikipedia, the popular online encyclopedia, has updated Davido’s marital status by providing information about his spouse.

    The changes were spotted on Monday, January 9, 2023.

    In the bio section, where Davido’s date of birth, place of birth, and other vital information were provided, Chioma Avril Rowland’s name was slotted in as the Nigerian singer’s spouse.

    One can recall that Davido and Chioma confirmed the rumours of their marriage when they both flaunted their wedding rings during the singer’s uncle’s governorship inauguration.

    Also, there were reports that Chioma, who was completely broken by his son’s demise, lamented that nothing binds her and Davido together, so in order to prove his love, the singer took a step further and married her.

    Veteran rapper Reggie Rockstone has called on the thousands of followers of Bongo Ideas to unfollow him.

    The social media troll has gained notoriety for unnecessarily criticising celebrities for social media clout.

    Bongo usually plies his trade on Twitter where he commands a following of a little over 50,000. He also cross-posts his despicable comments on Facebook and Instagram with a collective following of 20,000.

    Why is Reggie Rockstone embarking on this campaign? Bongo revealed this morning that Davido sent him a text on Instagram concerning a comment he made when his only son drowned and died in October this year.

    The notorious troll blamed Davido for failing at his father duties leading to the death of his son.

    Davido allegedly texted Bongo and prayed that what happened to him never happens to happens to his (Bongo) child.

    This action from Bongo was the last straw that broke the camel’s back for Reggie Rockstone.

    He charged at the social media commentator calling him demonic for mocking a man who lost his son.

  • Davido to perform at World Cup finale, in first public appearance after death of his son

    Nigerian artist Davido is set to perform at the upcoming Qatar World Cup finale taking place on Sunday, December 18. This is a highly anticipated performance as it marks his first public performance since the tragic death of his son, David Adedeji Adeleke Jr., who passed away on October 31, 2022, in an apparent drowning at the musician’s home in Lagos, Nigeria.

    The loss of a child is an unimaginable tragedy, and it is no surprise that Davido took time away from the public eye to grieve and heal. However, despite the immense personal pain he must have endured during this difficult period, the World Cup finale is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that he could not pass up.

    As he prepares to take the stage in front of a global audience, it is clear that this performance means much more than just a showcase of his talent. It is a tribute to his late son and a testament to his resilience and determination in the face of adversity.

    This performance is not just a significant event for Davido, but for Nigeria and the entire African continent as well. With the African music industry being long overshadowed by Western artists, this presents a great opportunity to show the world that African artists have just as much to offer as their Western counterparts.

    In addition to bringing a global spotlight to the African music industry, Davido’s performance will be a highlight for his career. The artist has already achieved great success in Nigeria and across Africa, with multiple awards and hit songs to his name. However, this performance is likely to elevate his career to a new level and help establish him as a true global artist.

    Davido’s dedication to his craft, and determination to honour his son through his music is truly inspiring. As he steps onto the stage at the World Cup finale, he will not only be representing himself and his country, but the entire African continent. It is a moment that will be remembered for years to come, and one that could solidify Davido’s place as one of the greatest artists of our generation. We can’t wait to see him shine!

  • Landing a feature with Davido and Mayorkun was easy – Spyro

    Nigeria’s Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, popularly known as Spyro has revealed that getting a collaboration with the “Mayor of Lagos” Mayorkun and “OBO” superstar Davido was not as difficult as it may seem.

    The “Billing” hitmaker interviewed on Y107.9FM’s “Ryse n Shyne” show with host, Brown Berry on how he was able to bag a feature from Davido and Mayorkun indicated that both loved his music and hence approached to be featured.

    The young Nigerian artiste stated that he has been in the music industry since 2018 which is the year, he had his big break and birthed the song that won the attention of not only Davido but Mayorkun as well.

    Spyro termed the song that earned him his big break and features from the two prominent artistes titled “Funke” as “papping” as it gained massive streams all over Africa.

    “The song was papping as I said and David kept posting, reposting and showing love,” he reminisced.

    The Nigerian entrepreneur shared his experience on how Davido reached out to him from Atlanta, USA, eager to make the verse on the “Funke” song that very day and gave a thrilling mimic of how Davido made the request.

    He also shared how excited he was as Mayorkun made a request after and did not mind if Davido was on the feature list.

    “I had to confirm if that was Davido because in Nigeria, there are a lot of Davido and I realized that was actually David in my dm. I was so excited and that was it.”

    He however mentioned that Mayorkun reached out separately and brought up the idea of hopping on the “Funke remix” train while they had a conversation online.

    Fast forward to this year, Spyro and Davido are on it again with a David Oluwasanmi Oludipe and David Adedeji Adeleke exclusive coming out with Spyro’s first single for 2022 titled Billing. Curiously enough, this song expounds the journey of his mus

    This was when the couple made their first official public appearance, after they lost their son, at Davido’s uncle, Ademola Adeleke’s inauguration as governor for Osun State.

    Chioma was seen wearing double diamond rings while Davido also had a ring on his ring finger.

    Prior to this development, there were rumours that the two, who have since been camped at Davido’s father’s house in Lagos, following their son’s demise, had a wedding which was witnessed by close family members and friends.

    Others who doubted the rumours said it would be an inappropriate move to get married, especially at a time they are still mourning their son.
