I Never Told Israel to Stop Working for His Boss, Davido — Israel DMW’s Ex-wife, Sheila Courage

Sheila Courage has stated that she never asked Israel DMW to quit his job as Davido’s Logistics manager.
Recall that the estranged couple have been fighting on social media for months.
While narrating why his marriage crashed, Israel had claimed his estranged wife, Sheila had asked him to quit his job with Davido.
However, in a recent question-and-answer session with her friend, Ginika, Sheila clarified that she never explicitly told Israel to stop working with Davido.
According to her, she only made suggestions as a concerned wife, but never explicitly asked him to quit his job.
“I did not criticise his relationship. I made suggestions as a wife but there was never a point where I said ‘No don’t do this, why are you doing this?’ In fact, I was behind the scenes most of the time taking pictures and doing videos because I saw him doing this and it’s fine, I just had other personal stuff that I raised with him but I never at any point said stop working for him. I never ever did that.” She said.

How Olamide Gave Me Free Verse After Rejecting N100m – Tiwa Savage

Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage has opened up on how Olamide came true for her.
She revealed that Olamide rejected ₦100 million for a verse in her song after his management billed her.

The Stamina crooner claimed Olamide did not charge her because of their sibling-like bond and his knowledge of the hardships female artists face in the music industry.
Instead, Olamide graciously provided the verse for free, exhibiting his caring and helpful personality.
Tiwa Savage expressed her gratitude and acknowledged the existence of decent people in the industry, such as Olamide. The singer, who recently released the tune ‘Commona’ with Olamide, said:
“I was talking to his management, I didn’t want to talk to him directly cus he would want to do it for free. Spoke to his team and they charged N100m. I was willing to pay. When Olamide asked them who the artiste was, they said me and he just said NO. He won’t take it.
 
He said I am his sister and he knows how difficult it is to make it in the industry as a woman. That’s how he denied and guess what? He gave me the verse for Free. Good people exist and Baddo is one”

I Was Shocked Kenyans Don’t Understand ‘Pidgin English’ – Simi

Afrobeats singer Simi Kosoko has expressed shock that Kenyans don’t understand pidgin English.
She stated this while sharing her fascinating experience about Kenya on the 90’s Baby Show.
She revealed that during a trip to Kenya, she was surprised to discover that not all Africans speak ‘Pidgin English’, a dialect she assumed was universally understood across the continent.
While collaborating with a Kenyan artist, she was asked to translate her pidgin lyrics, leaving her taken aback.
 
“I went to Kenya years ago, and we were supposed to do a remix of my song with a Kenyan artist, and then there is a lot of pidgin in the song. They asked me to write my lyrics down and then ask, ‘Can you translate?’ and I go, ‘What the fuck do you mean to translate? It’s English. It’s pidgin, but it’s English.’”
This encounter was a culture shock for Simi, as she had assumed Pidgin English was a common language among Africans.
She humorously recalled thinking, “Are we not the same?”
“Before then, I had thought that everybody in Africa could speak pidgin the way we speak pidgin, so that was a culture shock for me. I thought these were our people; are we not the same?” Simi asked.
Simi also shared that her 4-year-old daughter, Adejare, has picked up some pidgin from her and her husband, Adekunle Gold, and often uses it to ask questions or engage in playful conversations.
“My daughter even started speaking pidgin by herself because we speak it around her, to our friends. So sometimes she would be like, ‘Wetin you do o’ and I love that because you need to have a gossip language around people,” Simi said.
