Why Davido, Iyabo Ojo missed Tiwa Savage’s father’s burial – Kemi Olunloyo

Nigerian investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has made fresh allegations against Afrobeats star Davido and Iyabo Ojo involving their ties to the late Mohbad and Naira Marley.

In a Facebook post, Olunloyo revisited the 2021 burial of singer Tiwa Savage’s father, pointing out that Davido and Iyabo were two high-profile celebrities who were conspicuously absent.

She alleged that their absence was linked to sensitive controversies surrounding both entertainers.

According to Olunloyo, Iyabo Ojo deliberately stayed away from the burial because the late singer Mohbad was billed to perform. She alleged that Mohbad had discovered that Ojo was allegedly sending his wife, Omowunmi, for hook-ups.

On Davido’s part, the journalist claimed the singer skipped the event because of his dealings with Zinoleesky, one of Marlian Music’s leading acts. She alleged that Davido had sent his aide, Dre DMW, in 2022 to woo Zinoleesky into joining his label, DMW, to weaken Marlian Music, which was enjoying immense success at the time.

Olunloyo further alleged that this move strained Davido’s relationship with Marlian boss Naira Marley, who, according to her, shaded the singer in several tweets throughout 2024.

“The 2 major celebrities that did not attend Tiwa Savãge’s father’s burial were Davido and Iyabo Ojo. Iyabo avoided due to Mohbad performing. He just found out Iyabo was sending his wife on hookups. Davido, for obvious reasons, sent Dre DMW to Zinoleesky in 2022 to get Zino into DMW. Davido wanted to collapse Marlian Music due to their endless success. This is why NM shaded David in tweets throughout 2024. They do not speak,” she wrote.

Nigerian Singer, Lojay Opens Up On Relationship With Governor Adeleke’s Daughter, Folashade

Lekan Osifeso Jr., the Nigerian singer, who is popularly known as Lojay, has clarified the nature of his relationship with Folashade Adeleke, daughter of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.

The singer made it clear during a recent interview that his bond with Folashade is purely friendship.

The Falling crooner debunked reports that he was romantically  involved with Folashade who is a cousin to Afrobeats singer Davido.

He described her as someone very close to him and part of his inner circle but maintained that there is no romantic connection between them.

Lojay also shared that he is not in a position to pursue a relationship at the moment.

According to him, taking time to heal and focus on personal growth is important, which is why he is choosing to remain single for now.

He said: “Fola is literally my best friend. From the very first day I met her, I just knew she was different.

“She’s the only woman in the 30BG crew, and she holds it down for everybody. Since then, we just clicked and have been good friends ever since.

“Unfortunately for me, I’m not ready for a relationship yet. Some people assume that means you’re messing around, but that’s not my reality. Sometimes, people genuinely need time to heal from past experiences, and that’s where I am right now.”

How I Broke Away From Being Stereotyped – Nollywood Actress, Bimbo Thomas Opens Up

Popular actress Bimbo Thomas has shared how she managed to break free from being stereotyped in her acting career.

The Omo Ghetto star made this known as a guest on Old Secrets, a podcast anchored by High Chief Obio Oloyejulius, where she opened up about the challenges she faced in carving out her acting career.

Reflecting on her early days, Thomas revealed that she deliberately avoided producing her own films initially.

“When I left school, I told myself I wanted to be established as an actor first before venturing into film production,” she shared.

During that time, she was often cast in tout and street urchin roles.

“Those years when I was given roles that involved fighting or breaking bottles were good because I can’t actually fight in real life; it’s all make-believe,” she explained.

However, Thomas soon realized the risk of being typecast.

“I told myself that if I continued playing these kinds of roles, they wouldn’t offer me other parts. Because I am a Theatre Arts major and did an apprenticeship as an undergraduate, I knew I had more to offer,” she said.

She further emphasized her versatility, noting that she is also a stage actor and a skilled vocal performer.

Thomas stressed the importance of breaking free from industry stereotypes, revealing, “If I kept playing the same tough characters, I wouldn’t get different opportunities because the industry is quick to stereotype you.”

As a result, she decided to slow down on such roles to allow audiences and casting directors to appreciate her broader range.

“I beg you, reform the Nigeria Police” – Speed Darlington begs Tinubu, says ‘everything is not about economy’

Controversial singer Speed Darlington has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to carry out urgent reforms in the Nigeria Police Force, emphasizing the need to protect citizens’ rights beyond economic growth.

In a video shared on Saturday, August 23, the musician urged the President to prioritize police reforms, stressing that leadership is about more than just boosting the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

“Mr. President, before you leave office, whether you secure a second term or not, try your best to improve Nigeria. Everything isn’t about the economy! There is more to leadership than the economy,” he said.

“The Nigerian police is an oppressive agency rooted in human rights violation. As a matter of fact, if they do not violate you, it is as if they are not even doing their job. Please, before you leave office, speak to your Yoruba brother, the IGP.”

The singer recounted his own experience with law enforcement, saying he was detained for two months despite a court order for his release.

“I was held for two months after the judge had ordered my release. The FID held me for 2 months. According to my lawyer, the Nigerian law allows only 28 days for investigation. They held me for two months. What is the extra month for? Because they can. If you give them money, they oppress your enemy. I have experienced it,” he added.

It’s a lie; Naira Marley mistreated my son – Mohbad’s father tackles singer’s recent statement

Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has once again spoken about the challenges surrounding his son’s career and tragic death.

In an interview with Sunday Scoop, Aloba insisted that Mohbad suffered mistreatment during his lifetime, countering the recent claims made by Naira Marley, his former record label boss.

Earlier in the week, the controversial artist released a video denying involvement in Mohbad’s struggles or death. According to Marley, his intention was only to guide the young singer, particularly after discovering that he had allegedly begun using hard substances.

“I went to see Naira Marley over some of the things Mohbad had said, and that was all. But later, a lot of other things happened that I personally witnessed. There were about three other people present at the time; two of them are still alive today. They were people working with Naira Marley, even though they were younger and still under him. One of them once came to me to report that Naira Marley was beating Mohbad.

When we went to see him to apologise, he wasn’t even speaking respectfully. People think I went there to collect money, but life is much more than just what I want to eat.”

Addressing claims that the late singer carried out financial dealings through an unfamiliar bank account, Aloba acknowledged that Naira Marley had previously expressed concern over the issue.

“Naira Marley complained to me that he (Mohbad) was collecting money with an account that is not his and that he (Naira Marley) had to force him to use his personal account. I also saw that he was sending me money from a strange account and I warned him that anything he wants to give me should come from his own account. That’s what I know about the account issue,” he stated.
