Sensational musician, Davido speaks on how he was about to quit music before his hit song, “With You” with his colleague, Omah Lay.

He revealed this while speaking in a recent interview that surfaced on social media.

The singer partly said…

“We thank God. 13 or 14 years after for me to have this kind of song, people have this kind of song at the beginning of their career or in the middle. Me that was even getting ready to bow out then God gives me this kind of song. He definitely added more life to it…”

“With You” tops on Spotify

Coloured: ‘I’m Not Sorry’ – Tyla Reacts To Tiwa Savage’s Apology To Americans On Her Behalf

Grammy-winning South African singer Tyla has responded to Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage’s apology to Black Americans on her behalf regarding her “coloured” comments.

Recall that Tyla sparked a controversy after publicly identifying as “coloured”-a term widely accepted in South Africa to describe people of mixed descent.

However, the word carries a painful history in the United States, where it is considered offensive.

Consequently, Tyla has been heavily backlashed by Americans, especially by the Black community.

In light of this, Tiwa Savage apologised to the African-American community on Tyla’s behalf, during a recent appearance on American show The Breakfast Club, declaring herself as the ‘Water’ hitmaker’s “elder.”

Savage’s apology triggered an uproar from South Africans, who berated her for speaking for one of their own without having a proper understanding of their identity and racial terminology.

Tyla also subtly sent a message that the Nigerian singer’s apology does not represent her by declaring that she is “not sorry” during her performance at the Global Citizen Festival in New York over the weekend.

“Sorry, I am not sorry,” she declared before performing her song ‘Mr Media.’

Meanwhile, fellow South Africans have been hailing Tyla for disassociating herself from Tiwa Savage’s apology.

Thousands of South African online users shared clip of Tyla’s subtle message across social media platforms, praising her for standing firm on her race/identity.

Music executive Don Jazzy has recounted how he discovered Afrobeats star Ayra Starr and signed her to his record label, Mavin Records.

Speaking in an interview with Echo, Don Jazzy, who heads one of Africa’s biggest record labels, said there was a gap in the industry at the time for a teenage Afrobeats superstar, and he was actively searching for new talent to fill it.

He explained that he asked one of the people he followed to scout for promising singers in their universities. Among the names and handles that were sent to him was Ayra Starr’s Instagram profile.

According to Don Jazzy, what caught his attention was a freestyle Ayra Starr had posted about drug abuse — a theme he noted was particularly relevant to the challenges facing Gen Z. That performance, he said, convinced him that she was the one he had been looking for.

Nigerian content creator Ayomiposi Oluwadahunsi Adefolarin, popularly known as Mandy Kiss, has withdrawn her earlier statement in which she claimed she planned to sleep with 100 men within 24 hours.

The controversial personality in a video on her Instagram page said the announcement was only a stunt to revive her online presence.

She explained that the idea came from her desire to gain attention and attract more engagement on her social media page, which had become inactive.

She also appealed to Nigerians not to take the announcement seriously, expressing fear of legal trouble and stating that she does not have the resources to handle a court case or legal representation.

She said: “Me I was just joking o! Arrest ke? How much is in my account? I don’t have money for a lawyer sef. I cannot even write a statement sef. Me I was just catching cruise. I was just trying to see if I was still relevant.

“Everywhere was dry on my page and I came up with the idea to see if I will get engagement on my page so I can get some adverts to do so I can make some money.

“I cannot sleep with 100 men. Please ooo, Nigerians. I don’t want to go prison o! I cannot sleep with 100 men, I will die! Please o!!!”
