Lady Pens Lengthy, Touching Apology to Davido After Getting Blocked

A lady has tendered an apology to singer Davido after attacking him and his fans.
X user, @Ashabul_Jannaah had slammed the actor, labeling his music as trash. She also called the singer’s fans delusional.
She wrote:
“Don’t mind Davido, His music is painfully wack and his delusional fanbase only proves how blind they are. You’ve outgrown him in every way! No wonder he’s constantly trying to keep up with the REAL king!”
However, after Davido came across her comment, he blocked her on X.
Feeling remorseful for her words, she took to X page pen several threads-long apology, begging the singer to unblock her.
She wrote:
“Dear
@davido
 
I’ve been tossing and turning over this for days and I need to get this off my chest. I’m truly sorry for the comments I made under your posts. They were thoughtless and disrespectful and I completely understand why you chose to block me.
 
I never intended to hurt you or be offensive, but that’s exactly what happened. I thought I was just being playful, engaging in the kind of banter that often flies around here. But in hindsight, I see it for what it was: out of line and completely unnecessary.
I chased likes and retweets, using your posts as a stage for my own little show and that was wrong. My remarks about your wealth and integrity were low blows. I’ve come to realize how much hard work and heart you’ve put into your career and my words didn’t just miss the mark; they were off the chart.
 
I deeply regret my words. I’ve seen how your fans, the 30BG community, rallied around you. They didn’t just defend you; they showed me the real impact of my words. It was a harsh lesson that’s made me rethink how I’ll interact online. I’m also sorry to them for stirring up negativity.
 
OBO
@davido
, if you’re reading this, I hope you’re doing well. I’ve always admired your energy, success and spirit. Even if I didn’t show it in the best way, I’ve been a silent admirer.
 
I’m not asking for forgiveness right away or for you to unblock me immediately. But I hope, in time, you might see this as a genuine apology from someone who’s learned a tough lesson. I want to move forward, and be part of the 30BG community positively and support you the right way.
 
Sending you all the respect and love OBO.”

Ghana Has Shown Me More Love Than Nigeria – Oxlade

Afrobeat singer Oxlade has revealed why he has special love for Ghana.
According to him, Ghana showed him more love than his country, Nigeria.
This was obvious in his decision to feature Ghanaian hip-hop legend, Sarkodie on his debut album, “Oxlade from Africa.”
He said the collaboration is a testament to the warmth and appreciation he has received from Ghanaian fans.
In a recent interview, Oxlade expressed his gratitude for the Ghanaian music scene’s open arms, saying it’s a refreshing contrast to the challenges he faces in Nigeria.
He also clarified his earlier social media posts about “OGs” boycotting and blackmailing him.
According to Oxlade, his frustration stems from people trying to control his trajectory and “play god.”
He explained that some issues arise from non-music-related reasons, such as perceiving him as disrespectful or not greeting them properly.
Oxlade chose not to mention names or escalate the issue, opting instead to focus on his music.
“I hate the mindset of people trying to play god…When they feel like they can determine your trajectory.
 
“Sometimes, it’s because they feel I see them outside and I don’t greet them well”

The Lagos State High Court has ordered controversial social media critic Martin Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan to pay lawyer and human rights activist Femi Falana (SAN) and his son, Folarin N500m.
This is according to a report by Punch. The court also ordered him to immediately remove all defamatory videos against Falana and his son.
The report added that the court also ordered him to pay the substantial sum of N500 million to Femi Falana and his son, Folarin, as compensation for libel, as detailed in the pre-action bundle of the judgment.
This ruling comes as part of a legal response to the allegations made by Otse, which were deemed harmful to the reputations of both Falana and his son.
The judgement was delivered by Justice M. O. Dawodu in suit no: ID/8584/GCM/2024 on Tuesday
According to him, the publications made by VeryDarkMan on his social media accounts on September 24, 2024, linking Bobrisky to Falz and his father were defamatory and injurious to their public image.
Dawodu stated, “According to the applicants (Falz and Falana), the defendant (VeryDarkMan) knew these statements (Bobrisky’s claims) were false and untrue but proceeded to publish them to injure their reputation.
 
“Furthermore, the defamatory statements are still trending on the defendant (VeryDarkMan)’s several online platforms and the injury to their reputation continues as long as the publication remains online.”
