Mohbad: ‘Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, I Need You’ – Iyabo Ojo

Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has urged Nigerian singers, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage, to help new generational artistes avoid being exploited by record labels.

626Blaze reports that Iyabo Ojo made this known during a recent Instagram live session with fans, urging the musicians to join the ongoing campaign to get justice for their late colleague, Mohbad.

She explained that the late singer was inspired by them and other top artists to pursue a music career.

According to the thespian, the Nigerian music industry cannot afford to allow what legendary musicians, such as Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, and 2Baba, went through in the hands of record label executives and the authorities to happen to the new generation of artistes.

Iyabo Ojo said it would be unfair if top artists fail to protect their younger colleagues who look up to them.

She said, “Wizkid and Tiwa Savage, I need you. These young boys, they come from the slums and ghettos just like most of you did, and they were inspired by you guys to become artists. And they have so much talent. Music is one of the talents that has put Nigeria on the map… These children are making us proud.

“Nigeria is blessed with talents, and we cannot allow any cult or anyone pull them down. We cannot allow anybody pull those children down because their music is what’s giving us joy… We will not allow what Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, and 2Baba went through in the hands of record label executives and the authorities to happen to new generational artists.”

Managing A Record Label Is Stress-Free Compared To Singing – Olamide

Nigerian singer, Olamide Baddo has shared that he finds it easier to manage a record label than to work as an artiste.

626Blaze reports that he spoke during a chat with YouTuber Korty EO.

The YBNL boss opened up about how his years as a musician have helped him understand and work better with the talents under his care.

According to him, being in the music industry has taught him how artistes think, act, and respond to the ups and downs of fame, money, and success.

 

The Metaverse crooner said that this deep understanding makes it less stressful for him to guide those signed to his label.

 

He said he knows when they are in a good creative space and when they are distracted, which helps him provide the right support.

He said: “It’s way much easier for me being a music executive than an artiste because I’m an artiste, so I understand the needs of creatives.

 

“I know the way we think, I know the way we see things. I know when we are in our element, when we want to run mad, when we’re getting high on our own supply, or high on fame, life, money, and success. So it’s easier for me to deal with creatives. I try not to bite more than I can chew.”

 

Olamide also addressed the constant debate on whether rappers should switch to singing, stating that he enjoys music as a whole and does not want to be boxed into one category.

Revealed: Someone claims Wunmi did multiple DNA tests

Popular journalist, Stella Dimokokorkus stirs surprise as she claims that late Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi allegedly did multiple DNA tests that she didn’t make public.

It would be recalled that following the passing of Mohbad, it was alleged that Mohbad’s son, Liam, isn’t biologically his.

Some netizens, including Mohbad’s father, had called for a DNA test.

The journalist, Stella Dimokorkus recently revealed that last year May, Wunmi, with the aid of a Nollywood actress, had done multiple DNA tests and had never made the results public.

She wrote …

“Late Singer Mohbad’s Wife Wunmi Allegedly Secretly Undergoes 2 DNA Tests
STORY FROM MAY 1, 2024
**********
”Late singer Mohbads wife Wunmi has allegedly secretly done two DNA tests with both results not released to the public or to those around her…..

According to inside sources, all the while that Mohbads father was crying for DNA test to be done, Wunmi aided by a popular Yoruba Nollywood actress secretly did a DNA test and the result of that first test prompted them to do a second secret DNA test recently and the result of that test is with the actress and insiders allege that the result might shock everyone….

Sources wonder why the result of the two DNA tests have not been made public by the actress and allowing everyone to continue dragging Wunmi to do the test to save face…….

This is hoping that the DNA tests result will be made public to end all the drama that has shifted the focus of who or what killed Mohbad to if little Liam is his child or not…”

There were multiple Interview denials on this story and now I am seeing shots from a whatsapp group chat that she actually did the tests…..Hmmmmm!!”

Odumodublvck reveals when he’ll quit music

Odumodublvck, the Nigerian rapper, has revealed that he will step away from music once his “closest friends” achieve success in the industry. 

The ‘Declan Rice’ hitmaker brought the revelation to light on Sunday in a post on X.

“Once all my nighas make it in music, I’m out,” the post reads.

 

While he didn’t specify which friends he was referring to, fans speculate he was talking about members of the Anti World Gangstars.

Anti World Gangstars is an Abuja-based rap collective known for their raw, gritty sound that mirrors the realities of street life.

The group comprises five rappers — Agunna, Fatboy E, Reeplay, Shagba, and Odumodublvck — along with their producer and sound engineer Cross.

Born Tochukwu Ojogwu, Odumodublvck is known for his unique stage performance and genre-mix style. In 2022, he signed a record deal with NATIVE Records, in partnership with Def Jam Recordings.

In the same year, he put out his first single titled ‘Picanto’ featuring ECko Miles and Zlatan Ibile.

The rapper also released ‘Declan Rice’ – a chart-topping single named after the English footballer. He has earned a plethora of nominations and awards for his craft.

However, Odumodublvck remains the only member of the group who has achieved global recognition in the music industry.

A Week of Fights, Flops, and Fake Nominations Breakdown of the Chaos That Rocked the BBNaija 10/10 House This Week

The Big Brother Naija Season 10 “10/10 House” has already proven to be an explosive season, with a week full of drama, tears, and failed teamwork. From the very beginning, the housemates failed to find their footing as a team, leading to several clashes and a major flop during their first Wager Task.

The drama started with a dispute between Koyin and Kaybobo over noodles, with Koyin ending up in tears. This was followed by Kaybobo being accused of being a “bully” by Mensan, which led to a heated confrontation. Tensions continued to simmer in the kitchen with what has been dubbed “MeatGate,” a fight between Otega and Denari over grilled chicken. Leadership also proved to be a source of conflict, with Head of House Jason Jae getting into a shouting match with Rooboy, who felt Jason wasn’t leading effectively.

In an interesting turn of events, some housemates started to explore romantic connections. Jason Jae was seen sharing a heartfelt hug with Sultana, while Gigi Jasmine confided in Victory. The first Saturday night party also brought some action, with Kayikunmi and Isabella sharing a steamy makeout session. However, not all connections were successful, as Imisi’s attempt to kiss Faith was gracefully rejected.

Despite all the drama, the biggest shock of the week was the housemates’ complete failure to win their first Wager Task. The performance was a mess, and Biggie’s disappointment was clear. This loss means a week of limited food supplies and heightened tensions, setting the stage for more drama to come. The week ended with the housemates on edge, as host Ebuka revealed a major twist.

In a recent interview with Okay Africa, the award-winning singer reflected on the driving force behind his artistry.

Davido noted that beyond the glitz and fame, it is his love for music that keeps him grounded and motivated to create, innovate, and connect with fans globally. He also spoke about the priceless connection he shares with his supporters, which he said is one of the most meaningful aspects of his journey.

“I hope I still have the same passion, I’d probably try again…but it depends on my age,” he said.

He added, “One flex I have is that money didn’t buy is natural love from my fans. You can’t buy that type of love. I’ve had fans come from far away, and concerts range from new fans to the old fans; my catalogue is huge.”

Looking back on his career, Davido shared advice he would give to his younger self: “It’s going to be a long journey, many ups and downs, smiles and frowns, but you’d get there.”

He also noted that when he started, his dreams were nowhere near as big as what he has achieved today. “That’s how God works,” he said.
