Nigerian Rapper, 2shotz, Slams Igbos Supporting The Government Of The Day

Nigerian rapper 2Shotz has stirred reactions online after criticizing some members of the Igbo community whom he accused of supporting the current administration.

Taking to his Instagram page, the rapper expressed his frustration after watching a video from a recent political gathering in Imo State where Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, was reportedly in attendance.

According to 2Shotz, he was shocked and disappointed by the enthusiastic reception given to Seyi Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) by some attendees.

In his post, the rapper said he found the display troubling, particularly because the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, remains in detention. He argued that it was contradictory for some people to openly support the government while the separatist leader continues to face legal battles.

2Shotz did not hold back in his criticism, describing those supporting the current administration as misguided. He went further to suggest that, based on the level of support he observed, the APC could still emerge victorious in the 2027 general elections.

The rapper also issued a warning, stating that if the party wins again and economic hardship continues, people should not turn to him for financial assistance on social media.

His remarks have since sparked widespread debate online, with many social media users sharing mixed reactions to his comments. While some agreed with his stance, others criticized the tone of his message.

BBL Is Not Bad – Nigerian Actress, Uche Ogbodo Insists Following De@th Of Nigerian Lady During Procedure (Video)

Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has weighed in on Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery following the death of a Nigerian woman identified as Jessica Elena.

The actress shared a video on her Instagram page where she reacted to the public concern surrounding BBL surgeries and the messages she has been receiving online.

Ogbodo explained that several social media users had been tagging her in posts about the incident because of her known support for BBL procedures.

The actress maintained that although BBL is known to have risks, it is not the only medical procedure that carries danger.

She stated that many surgeries involve possible complications and that people sometimes lose their lives even during simple medical operations.

She added that what matters most is proper knowledge and preparation before deciding to undergo any cosmetic procedure.

According to her, anyone considering surgery should understand their body and learn about the process before making such a decision.

Ogbodo also spoke about the need for proper care after surgery.

She said infections after an operation can lead to serious problems if they are not treated quickly.

For that reason, she advised that anyone who develops an infection after surgery should seek medical help immediately to address the issue.

She said: “Few days ago Nigerians went into mourning because we lost a beautiful woman, Jessica, which was very sad and painful, but who are we to question God? People have been tagging me to this recent lady that died and saying I am always supporting it.

“A lot of people tagged me to that video because the cause of death is BBL, but life can happen to anyone.

“Yes, BBL is risky, but tell me, what surgery is not risky? People die every day even from the simplest procedures. It’s not entirely bad. It could be her turn today, it could be someone else’s turn tomorrow.

“Just make sure you are educated about the kind of surgery you are about to go into. Make sure you do not get infected after the surgery. If it gets infected, make sure to find a solution to solve that infection.”
