I Love Walking Away – Nigerian Singer, Adekunle Gold Reveals Why He Avoids Trouble (Video)

Nigerian singer Adekunle Kosoko, widely known as Adekunle Gold, has spoken about his decision to steer clear of controversy and embrace a calm, drama-free lifestyle.

In a video shared on social media on Thursday by an X user, the Orente singer said he does not like conflict and prefers to focus on living peacefully.

He explained that he does everything possible to avoid being close to problems because he only wants a quiet and steady life.

The singer said he understands his own nature very well and knows that he can easily say things he may later regret when situations become tense.

For this reason, he often removes himself from arguments before they grow into bigger issues.

Adekunle Gold added that choosing to walk away from trouble does not mean he is weak or unable to defend himself when needed.

The father of two said he simply values peace of mind more than engaging in fights or drama.

Adekunle also wondered why some people enjoy conflict and do not seek calm and rest in their lives.

According to him, walking away is sometimes the best choice for personal peace and growth.

He said: “Some of us, we just don’t like trouble. In fact, I don’t want to be near it, I just want to live.

“Me, I know myself. My mouth is not good at all. Anybody that knows me, my mouth is not good. So, I don’t even want to say anything out of regret, so I’d rather just step away.

“What is your mind like? Why do you not like peace? Why do you not like peace of mind? Why don’t you just walk away?”

You Started Your Music Career Without Originality – VeryDarkMan Blasts Wizkid For Insulting Fela Kuti (Video)

VeryDarkMan, the social media influencer and activist, who is also known as VDM, has accused Afrobeat star Wizkid of showing disrespect to music legend Fela Kuti.

In a viral video released on Thursday, VDM stated that Nigeria is the only county that do not recognize music legends, stating that while other countries honors great artists, Nigerians disregard theirs as “past glory”.

He further went ahead to say that some Nigerian music pioneers and veterans who voice out their concerns on national and industry issues are either insulted or ignored.

His comments came amid the ongoing clash between Seun Kuti and Wizkid.

Calling names like Eldee the Don, African China, Plantation Boiz, Psquare, Remedies, Tony Tetuila, Jazzman Olofin, 9ice, Vector, Sasha P, Asa, Weird MC, 2Face Idibia and Blackface, he said, “People you are supposed to idolise and respect are called ‘past glory’ in this country.”

The social media influencer and activist further criticized Wizkid’s comments, saying they caused his fabs to insult Fela.

He claimed that although disagreements are normal, Wizkid should have handled the situation better.

He address the ongoing comparisons between Wizkid and Fela Kuti, especially arguments centred on the Grammy Award.

He dismissed claims that Wizkid’s Grammy win places him above the late Afrobeat icon.

VeryDarkMan argued that the award was largely influenced by Beyoncé, not Wizkid’s solo artistry. According to VDM, because of this, Wizkid’s Grammy award is not a ‘real Grammy’.

Recall that Wizkid had won a Grammy in 2021 for Best Music Video as a featured artiste on Beyoncé’s Brown Skin Girl, alongside Blue Ivy.

VDM pointed out that international music superstar, Beyoncé, has repeatedly celebrated the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, recalling how she once performed Zombie as a tribute and praised Fela in several interviews.

According to him, Zombie was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2025, while Fela Kuti is also expected to receive a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award.

In contrast, VeryDarkMan singled out Burna Boy and Tems as Nigerian artistes whose Grammy wins were based purely on individual musical contributions.

He referenced Burna Boy’s Best Global Music Album win for Twice As Tall, as well as Tems’ multiple Grammy awards, arguing that their recognitions were a direct reflection of artistic merit.

The activist also came to Fela Kuti’s defence over criticisms of his personal life, particularly his multiple marriages.

He questioned why historical figures such as King Solomon are widely revered despite similar controversies, while Fela continues to face harsh judgment.

VeryDarkMan insisted that Wizkid, musically and artistically, has not surpassed Fela Kuti or other members of the Kuti dynasty, including Femi Kuti, Seun Kuti and Made Kuti.

According to him, the Kuti family’s enduring influence on African music and global cultural discourse remains unmatched by many contemporary stars.

Streaming Is A Game Of Shamelessness – Cubana Chief Priest Defends Peller’s Hustle Amid IShowSpeed Snub

Socialite Cubana Chief Priest has come to the defense of TikToker Peller after his failed attempt to meet international streamer iShowSpeed during the latter’s recent visit to Lagos.

IShowSpeed arrived in Lagos on Wednesday, coinciding with his 21st birthday celebration.

Although Peller did not secure a meeting with the streamer, his efforts have sparked widespread online attention.

Reacting via Instagram, Chief Priest praised Peller’s persistence and drive, while criticising the tendency of some people to belittle others’ ambitions. He commended the TikToker’s bold and unapologetic pursuit of success, attributing his rising popularity to that fearless approach.

Chief Priest also suggested that iShowSpeed’s decision not to meet Peller may have been a calculated move rather than a snub.

He wrote, “Why do we like to tear down our own brothers’ hustles or energy down? Small boy like Peller deh hustle him way to meet speed wey Dey at the top for the business wey him dey do una use am dey mock am.

“There is no shame in hustle. I celebrate Peller’s energy to achieve his dream. Now you guys see why he is bigger than most of you, because he is ready to push shamelessly. Speed Dey naija but na Peller dey trend.

“Una no really cherishes una own all you want is to bring your own down so you can mock & laugh at the person, but indirectly you are pushing the person up.

“Streaming is a game of shamelessness. At the end of the day, are you entertained? Peller will never stop being big because the hunger is there, so let him cook. If you follow Speed’s stream, he gets rejected, too, so what’s the big deal?

“The ignore from speed to Peller is deliberate; he knows the boy. It’s a management issue. The push from Peller is amazing, that’s how you go for what you want, and above all, never shy away from rejections, it must come. Keep pushing for the Top.”

Fela: ‘I Like Wizkid, He Is My Padi’ – Yeni Kuti Reacts To Singer’s Clash With Seun Kuti (Video)

Yeni Kuti, the eldest child of the late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has finally responded to Wizkid’s online clash with her brother, Seun Kuti.

Recall that Seun Kuti started dragging Wizkid’s fanbase popularly known as Wizkid FC last week for comparing the singer’s legacy and influence with that of his father, late Fela Kuti.

The fight escalated on the sixth day of the constant dragging when Seun dared Wizkid to prove he truly cared for his fans by protecting them from him.

Breaking silence in solidarity to his fans, Wizkid told Seun that “I’m bigger than your father”, and challenged Seun Kuti to do his worst.

His response sparked controversy online, with many blaming Seun for pushing the singer to the wall while some netizens including some of Fela’s children berated Wizkid for disrespecting the late legend.

The development which led to public debate on Wizkid and Fela’s legacy and influence sparked mixed reactions among Nigerian celebrities.

However, amid the controversy, Yeni Kuti, speaking on ‘Your View’ program on TVC, on Thursday, said she refused to involve herself in the fight with Wizkid because the singer is her close friend and she loves him a lot.

Speaking about Wizkid’s longtime relationship with Fela’s family, Yeni, who said “Wizkid is my padi”, further urged the public to come together to celebrate Fela at this year Grammy awards.

Yeni said, “I love Wizkid a lot. You know, Wizkid is my padi now. When two giants fight, it’s the grass that suffers. I refuse to enter some of the insults that they are hauling because I love Wizkid a lot. Wizkid is my padi now and my so friend. We have come a long way together. I remember when we started that shrine, he was a backup singer and the shrine during Felabration.

“So, there’s no way I can ever no like Wizkid. I like him and I wish at the beginning, he had quickly put a stop to it but he didn’t. Let’s mend fences , we are one people. We’re just about to go and celebrate our icon at the Grammy and you’re all doing as if you are trying to dent it. It’s not Fela or Fela family that you are denting, it’s all Nigeria. Did you Bob Marley people do that? They don’t do that.

“Whichever way you look at it, this one is bigger than Fela, that one is bigger than Fela. He started the journal of music, he’s an icon, and so if you have problems, why are you attacking him? He has done his own, he has gone. What people don’t understand is Fela has been dead for 27 years. And you are still mentioning his name. That’s just answer to his greatness. So let’s just respect that. Fight yourselves you that are alive and leave the man that has done his own and gone.”
