Burna Boy Nigeria’s biggest artist, says Clarence Peters

Music video director Clarence Peters has crowned Burna Boy the biggest Nigerian artist.

In a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, Peters attributes Burna Boy’s success to his passion for performing on stage and his understanding of what it takes to excel in the entertainment industry.

Peters noted that Burna Boy’s ability to surround himself with technically sound professionals has been key to his success.

According to him, the combination of his charisma and stage presence, has cemented his position as a leading figure in the Nigerian music scene.

Peters stated that having star power is essential for artists to succeed in the entertainment industry, drawing comparison between the music and film industries, noting that while talent is important, it’s the personality and charisma of an artist that sets them apart and makes them a star.

He said: “The performances on stage, how you’re able to hold your brand. Look, Burna Boy is the biggest Nigerian artist, hands down, because Burna Boy loves being on stage, but also understands what he needs to be on stage. He’s become technically sound because he’s been garnished with people who are technically sound, because that’s important to him.

“There’s a difference between an amazing actor and a star. The truth is, if you’re looking for amazing performances, go to the theater, go to stage. That’s not what you’re supposed to see.

“That’s not, I mean, you would get good performances, but the personality and the charisma of the actor the star power of the actor is what you go to the cinema to go see on your streaming services. So America has an issue with that. The almighty America has an issue with that too. There’s not a lot of stars. So Netflix is having it here and there because they’re not a lot of stars”.

Kayikunmi and Isabella, the BBNaija Ten Over Ten housemates, sparked a buzz on social media following their make-out after the Saturday night party.

The intimate encounter started when the pair initiated close contact and Isabella allowed Kayikunmi to kiss her and fondle her body.

They later retreated to the bedroom, where things got more intense as Kayikunmi was seen kissing her breasts first through her top, then more directly after she lifted it.

The video has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with some users criticising the pair for conduct.

Some others defended them, arguing that the show is adult-rated and meant for mature audiences.

Former BBNaija star Pere also described Nigerians as too emotional and judgmental for true reality TV.

“I said it before, I’d say it again, Nigerians think they’re ready for reality tv. Truth is they’re not,” he wrote.

“Too emotional, too judgmental. Just anyhow people. Na una wan vote winner?

“When you’re all judging wrongly and slutshaming a woman for showing her boobs on a show that’s rated 18+ on national television?”

The BBNaija Season 10 kicked off on July 28 with a two-day opening ceremony.

This year’s winner will take home a staggering N150 million, the highest grand prize in the show’s history since its debut in 2006.

Big Brother had earlier put 28 housemates, except the head of house, up for a fake eviction.

BBNaija 10: Thelma Emerges Head Of House For Week 2

Thelma Lawson has emerged the interim Head of House for the second week in the ongoing Big Brother Naija Season 10.

The announcement came after a competitive HoH game that took place shortly after the live show.

Big Brother invited all the housemates to the arena, where they were grouped by gender and given a water-filling challenge.

Thelma emerged as the top female performer, while Jason Jae won in the male category.

The two winners faced off in a final round, which involved carefully placing eggs on a deck using only a spoon.

Thelma completed the task faster than Jason, earning her the Head of House title.

She later picked Kayikunmi to join her in the HoH lounge.

However, her victory comes with a condition.

A new twist in the game means that Thelma must defend her title in a special challenge on Monday.

If another housemate performs better, she could lose the position.

BBNaija Season 10 began on July 28 with a two-day launch.

The winner of this season will walk away with a cash prize of N150 million, the highest reward since the reality show began in 2006.

In other news, all 29 housemates in the Big Brother Naija Season 10 show were thrown into celebration mood on Sunday evening after learning that no one would be evicted in the first week.

626Blaze reports that the twist was revealed during the first Sunday Live Show by host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, who informed the contestants that they would all remain in the house for now.

The housemates, who had been tense throughout the week, immediately relaxed and hugged each other in joy.

“I’m a very wise woman, I know when to fight” — Iyabo Ojo slams Verydarkman

Actress Iyabo Ojo has responded fiercely to claims made by social media activist Verydarkman, who alleged she backed out of an agreement to publicly apologise to Naira Marley and Sam Larry.

Her rebuttal comes hours after Verydarkman shared details of a roundtable discussion at the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF NCCC) held with Naira Marley, Sam Larry, Iyabo Ojo, Tonto Dikeh, and their legal teams, claiming Iyabo had promised to apologise publicly for accusing Naira Marley and Sam Larry of involvement in Mohbad’s death but later reneged.

In a new live TikTok session, Iyabo dismissed Verydarkman’s narrative as manipulative and dishonest, calling him “corny” and “deceitful.”

“So you had to come out and do your normal manipulating tactic. I’m a very wise woman. I’m not like you that’s very deceitful and corny. You’ve tried in all your might to bring me down, but you cannot,”she said.

Iyabo defended her actions, stating she had genuine reasons to speak out at the time. She explained that her reaction was driven by disturbing videos and online reports that emerged after Mohbad died in 2023.

“I used to promote Naira Marley’s songs until Mohbad died. I saw a video of Naira Marley dancing after Mohbad’s death, I was angry,” she stated.

She went further to describe seeing videos of Sam Larry allegedly mocking the late singer and others showing physical assault, which she said compelled her to believe the bullying accusations.

“I saw Sam Larry’s video where he accosted Zlatan Ibile and Mohbad; that was when I believed the bullying allegation. As a concerned citizen and a mother, I used my platforms,” she explained.

‘I Love My Baby More Than Myself’ – Taaooma Speaks On Motherhood

In an interview with Pulse Nigeria, the content creator said becoming a mother has taught her that nothing is truly impossible.

According to her, she did not think she could ever love someone more than herself, but that has changed since she became a mother.

She said: “I realized that there’s nothing like I can’t do it. Being a mom, you always find a way. Even if you think you cannot do it, you actually find yourself doing it. Secondly, I never thought I would be able to love somebody so much. But you see, I love her more than myself.”

In February 2020, the comedienne engaged her fiancé Abdulaziz Oladimeji also known as Abula in Namibia, and got married on 24 January 2021.

“Name the Killer Or Face The Law” — Mohbad’s Brother Warns Verydarkman Over Prolonged Claims

Adura, brother of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has fired a stern warning at social media influencer Verydarkman, demanding an end to what he described as a prolonged and unsubstantiated investigation into the circumstances of the singer’s tragic death.

Taking to Instagram, Adura expressed growing frustration over Verydarkman’s recent online commentary, particularly concerning a leaked WhatsApp group chat that has revived speculation about Mohbad’s demise. According to Adura, the influencer’s suggestive remarks have generated intense public suspense without offering any concrete revelations.

In his post, Adura accused Verydarkman of playing to the gallery by raising public hopes without backing his claims with facts or evidence. He threatened legal action if the online activist fails to substantiate his accusations or reveal clear findings about what allegedly led to Mohbad’s death.

Quote
“Someone tell that prose narrator there’s already public suspense and he must finish the prose,”

Adura wrote.

Quote
“Even I am waiting for the epilogue, because he already raised my hope that he’s going to show us what killed my brother Moh inside the house—something that was hidden even from me.”

He further clarified that he had already given his full account to the Nigeria Police Force and the coroner handling the case, and stressed that the burden now lies on Verydarkman to provide clarity or stop fueling public confusion.

Quote
“But this sudden online witness, investigator, prosecutor, and magistrate combined must help us with what happened beyond our own knowledge,”

Adura continued.

Quote
“If he doesn’t explain it to the public, the way he stirred emotions and set minds against me, then he will explain it to a court someday!”

The latest outburst underscores the ongoing tension surrounding Mohbad’s controversial death, which continues to attract public interest nearly a year after the incident. As calls for justice persist, the family appears increasingly intolerant of speculation they believe may deepen their grief or mislead the public.
