Police Invite Nigerian Comedian, DeeOne For Routine Interview (Video)

Aderombi Adedayo, a former Big Brother Naija housemate and comedian, who is popularly known as Dee One, has revealed that he has been invited by the Force Intelligence Department (FID) of the Nigeria Police Force for a routine interview.

Deeone made this known in a post shared on X on Thursday, where he read out the content of the police invitation letter addressed to him.

According to the letter signed by the Commissioner of Police, Force Intelligence Department, the invitation is part of an ongoing inquiry and is described as a fact-finding interview.

The letter directed Deeone to report to the FID Annex Office, Lagos, through the OCCIOS team.

Reacting to the invitation, Deeone said he believes it may be connected to a video he posted earlier, which has generated a lot of reactions and calls from different people.

He noted that while opinions have varied, he does not regret making the video and insists that he did nothing wrong.

He stated that he would not apologise if the invitation is linked to his comments, which he described as his personal views expressed as a Nigerian citizen.

“I saw something strange that happened in Turkey involving our President, our dear President, and I shared my views as an ordinary Nigerian. If this invitation is about the video I posted yesterday, I have received many calls and heard different opinions. Some people said Deeone was cyberbullying, that I should not have mentioned the President’s son or spoken about the President.”

Deeone also addressed the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, assuring him that he would honour the invitation.

He said he plans to report to the police office on Monday and promised to keep Nigerians informed about developments surrounding the invitation.

I Quashed My Beef With AKA Before His Death – Burna Boy Reveals

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy has disclosed that he and late South African rapper AKA settled their differences before his death.

The duo fell apart in 2019 after Burna Boy threatened to “deal” with AKA if they ever met.

This came after the South African rapper reportedly encouraged xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South African after sharing screenshots of hate messages he allegedly received from Nigerian accounts over AFCON quarterfinal match banter.

Burna Boy has now revealed that they quashed their beef before the rapper passed on.

In a posthumous birthday message to the late rapper via his Instagram page, Burna Boy, however, regretted that AKA passed away before they could execute some of their plans and collaborations.

Burna Boy wrote, “Happy birthday Supa Mega. We fell out over bullsh*t even though we squashed it over Twitter DMs nobody knew about, we never got the chance to really link up and do what we were supposed to do.

“I will regret that until I see you again. Until then, R.I.P Mega.”

Recall that AKA was shot dead by a gunman outside a restaurant in Durban on 10 February, 2023.

The trial into his murder is still ongoing.

Fela’s Legacy: Kunle Kuti Breaks Silence On Wizkid vs Seun Kuti Feud (Video)

Kunle Kuti, son of Afrobeats legend Fela Kuti, has voiced concern over the online feud between singer Wizkid and his brother, Seun Kuti.

The controversy began when Seun criticised Wizkid’s fans for comparing the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker to their father, arguing that it undermined Fela’s legacy.

Speaking on TheCable’s ‘Our Two Kobo’ podcast, Kunle Kuti distanced himself from comparisons between Wizkid and Fela, saying they belong to different realms.

“I do not want anybody to compare them; it is two different things,” he said.

Kunle admitted that the issue left him “heartbroken”, revealing he holds Wizkid in high regard and had sought to meet him, citing the singer’s Fela Kuti tattoo as a point of admiration.

“That is what I am saying, I was heartbroken. What is this going on? Wizkid is the only artist that I have kind of begged people that I want to meet in my life.

“Even on Sunday, I have begged him that I want to meet this guy, to show you how much I love him. For the fact that he has Fela’s tattoo. We, his kids, do not even have his tattoo on our bodies”, he said.

Nigerian Actress, Angela Okorie Arrested Over Alleged Cybercrime Case Involving Colleague, Mercy Johnson

Angela Okorie, the popular Nollywood actress, has reportedly been arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre in connection with an alleged cybercrime case involving her colleague, Mercy Johnson.

Nigerian filmmaker Seun Oloketuyi made the news known on his Instagram page.

The actress was said to have been picked up at her residence in Lagos.

After her arrest, she was taken to Yaba Panti, where she spent the night because there was no available flight to Abuja at that time.

Reports say she was later placed on an early morning flight to the Federal Capital Territory, where she is expected to appear in court in connection with the matter involving Mercy Johnson.

The development comes after years of public tension between both actresses.

Angela Okorie and Mercy Johnson have been involved in repeated online clashes, with accusations and counterclaims shared on social media platforms.

 

 

At different times, Angela had spoken about feeling hurt and reacting from emotional pain.

 

 

She once admitted that some of her past words were said out of anger and personal struggles, saying that she had reflected on her actions and expressed regret over how things played out.

Despite this, the conflict later resurfaced online.

Angela made several statements against Mercy Johnson, including spiritual and personal allegations.

The alleged cybercrime case is believed to be connected to those online exchanges, which reportedly drew the attention of law enforcement authorities.

Forgive Me – Actress Nkechi Blessing Apologizes To BBNaija Star, Imisi Over ‘Offensive’ Question About Mother (Video)

Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has issued a public apology to Imisi Ayanwale, winner of Big Brother Naija Season 10.

The reality TV star cum Nollywood actress threw a lavish birthday party attended by many celebrities, including Do2dtun, Bisola Aiyeola, Kiekie, Nkechi Blessing, Brodashaggi, BBNaija Kola, Mide, Mitchy, Isabella, Kayvee, and many others.

During a question-and-answer session at the birthday party, Nkechi asked Imisi, who has been at loggerheads with her mother for a long time, if she would ever forgive and reconcile with her.

However, Nkechi Blessing’s question generated mixed reactions online, with some netizens attacking her.

Responding to the massive online backlash, Nkechi, in a video on her Instagram page, tendered a heartfelt apology to the reality star and her fans.

According to the movie star, the question was never intended or meant to chase clout, adding that anyone who finds the question offensive should forgive her.

She said, “I sincerely want to apologise to anybody who got offended by the question I asked Imisi a couple of hours ago at her party. If you find my question offensive, I am sorry. Find a place in your heart to forgive me. Whoever is dragging me, fighting me, abusing me, please don’t be offended.”

The loggerheads began when Imisi’s mother posted videos online, saying she had been abandoned and still lived in poor conditions despite Imisi’s N150 million win.

The videos, released on November 16, showed her mother expressing frustration and insisting she would not plead for help.

In her response shared on her Instagram page, Imisi stated that her mother was not involved in her life before her BBNaija victory, saying that long periods would pass without any contact.

She said the sudden public outburst shocked her because the relationship had always been strained.

Imisi explained that she has supported her mother over the years and had sent money even in the days leading up to the controversy.

She added that she cannot use her prize money for personal comfort of one person since many family members now depend on her.

Just Days After Enrolling In University, Peller Drops Out, Explains Why (Video)

Popular TikTok creator Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, has hinted that he may not return to school, just days after celebrating his admission to study law at a private university in Lagos State.

Peller made the disclosure in a voice note shared on his channel on Tuesday, where he complained that attending school was affecting his ability to make money.

“Guys, I swear to God, I remember I said I am going to school… I am not going again. I am not going again,” he said.

The content creator explained that spending hours in class without earning income made the experience unacceptable to him.

“I just remember, I was inside class for four hours. I didn’t make any money. I will write, I will look, I will play, not making anything. God forbid. I am not doing that one again,” he said.

Peller also claimed he felt out of place among other students, describing himself as the youngest person in the class.

“When I enter the school, I notice that everyone is old, I am the only young blood there,” he added.

He further stated that he would consider returning to school later in life.

“So I need to go old. Maybe when I clock like 30, 40 years, I will now go to school. Please cancel everything. I am tired,” he said.

The development marks a sharp reversal from Peller’s recent public celebration of his admission into a law programme.

Recall that the TikTok sensation had, in a video that went viral on Saturday, announced that he had secured admission to study law at a private university in Lagos State, although he declined to disclose the name of the institution.

In the video, Peller expressed excitement over the admission and appeared to respond to critics who had mocked his educational background.

“Everyone has been criticising me for not being educated, as if I’m the first person who didn’t attend university. Now, all of you should leave social media, because I’m in school,” he said.

“I’m now studying law. You can see it, right? You can’t mess with me anymore. I know the law,” he added.

Recall that the content creator has faced sustained criticism online over his grammar and educational background, with some users describing him as “uneducated.”

Earlier this month, Peller had disclosed plans to further his education, noting that the decision was partly aimed at improving his spoken English.

He has also been in the public eye following a controversy surrounding the visit of American streamer IShowSpeed to Nigeria.
