Wizkid Does Not Release Most of His Features With Nigerian Artists – Slimcase

Nigerian singer, Slimcase has opened up on why Wizkid doesn’t release most of the songs he collaborated with other musicians in Nigeria.
Explaining why, Slimcase stated that Wizkid listens to songs about 50 times to know if they meet his standards before dropping them.
He stated that most artists’ collaborations with Wizkid ended up not making it out of the studio because they didn’t meet his standards.
Speaking in a recent interview with Naija FM, Lagos, Slimcase said, “When you make music with Wizkid, he will let you do your thing without any scrutiny, then in your absence, he can listen to the song like 50 times to know if the song meets his standard. That is why you see artists in the studio with Wizkid and the song never drops.”
Slimcase collaborated with Wizkid on a song titled ‘Gucci Snake’ in 2018.
Recall that singer BNXN recently called out Wizkid for hoarding collaborations with young artists.
He lamented that Wizkid collaborates with young artists year in, year out but most of the songs have never made it out of the studio.

My Wife Sent 20 Of Her Friends To Beat Me Up – Singer, Oritsefemi Claims

The Nigerian singer, Oritsefemi, has spoken up about what transpired between him and Nabila Fash, his estranged wife.

The couple tied the knot in 2017. In 2021, their marriage faced a crisis over allegations of infidelity.

Fash later accused the singer of “constant cheating, verbal and emotional abuse”.

She claimed Oritsefemi has children out of wedlock with the excuse of wanting a boy child.

She also alleged that the singer physically assaulted her twice in their relationship.

The ‘Igbeyawo’ hitmaker, however, denied the allegations.

In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Oritsefemi shared his opinion on the conflict in their marriage.

The 39-year-old singer claimed Fash had “21 miscarriages” but still held him responsible for their inability to have children.

Oritsefemi also alleged that she sent about twenty of her friends to beat him up in his house.

“Nabila had 21 miscarriages and she still dey tell me Oritsefemi say I no fit impregnate am,” he said in pidgin English.

“My wife asked her friends to come and beat me up in my house. I said, ‘Look at me o; a whole me, lion na him women dey pursue’.

“Dem reach like 20. Dem beat me o and no be say na lie.”

EPL: Why I Missed Big Chance Against Man City – Son Heung-Min Breaks Silence

Son Heung-min, the world-famous Tottenham Hotspur striker, has hailed Manchester City goalkeeper, Stefano Ortega.

He credited Ortega for making a good save to deny him in a midweek Premier League clash.

Son had the chance to make it 1-1 late in the game but hit the ball straight at Ortega.

The striker has now apologized for the miss, which could yet prove to be the defining moment in the title race.

It was just as damaging for Spurs, who saw their hopes of Champions League qualification end, following a fifth defeat in six games.

“I’m also human. The keeper made a really good decision and made himself really big.

“But I take the responsibility not to score that big chance for the team, because the team was working really hard and trying to get a good result,” Son told the Evening Standard.
