I Was Tired, I Wanted More For Myself – Nigerian Singer, Liya Reveals Why She Left Davido’s Record Label (Video)

Abdulsalam Suliyat Modasola, the Nigerian singer and songwriter, who is popularly known as Liya, has revealed why she left Davido Music Worldwide (DMW).

Liya, who was the first female artist to sign with DMW in October 2020, said she exited the record label because she wanted more for herself.

The singer had announced her exit from the label in 2023 during an Instagram question-and-answer session.

Replying to a fan who asked if she was still with DMW, she wrote, “Nopee, but #30bg for lifee.

Speaking on a recent episode of Wahala with Josy Anne, the singer said leaving the label was not an easy decision.

“Why did I leave? I just wanted more for myself, as a person and as an artist. I wanted more for myself. It was sad, it was depressing, I was tired, I was sick, but it was a decision that I had to make for myself. Yeah, because everyone thought I had it all figured out,” she said.

Liya also said people judged her wrongly during that period and accused her of doing nothing.

“They called me names. People saying, Oh, she’s just lazy. She doesn’t know what she’s doing. They’re just pouring money on her, and she’s not doing anything for over a year or two years. They’d just be like, oh, yeah, you just don’t know what you’re doing. It was my fault,”she said.

She added that things got so bad that she stopped handling her Instagram posts by herself for about two or three years.

“And all that period, I just did not know how to post by myself. For the past two or three years. I never posted myself on Instagram. Yeah. I always have my manager post for me. I mean, we’ll put the pictures and stuff together, slides and everything. But then I just send everything to him. Oh, this is the first slide, second slide,” she said.

Liya, however, praised her manager for staying patient with her through it all.

“He was tired, but I’m so glad he understood. He was very patient with me. He never pushed me or forced me to post myself,” she added.

Tonto Dikeh Wants To K!ll Me – Actress Doris Ogala Cries Out, Raises Alarm Over Alleged Spiritual Plot

Doris Ogala, the popular Nollywood actress, has accused her colleague Tonto Dikeh of attempting to harm her through spiritual means.

The issue came to light on Wednesday, after Doris took to social media to share a series of emotional messages about her experience.

 

 

She claimed that her only intention was to ask Tonto to help speak to a man identified as Chris about refunding money owed to her, and not to get involved in any personal relationship matters.

Doris said she was shocked by what followed, as she alleged that Tonto instead took steps that could put her in danger.

She claimed that Tonto reported her to a traditional herbalist, an action she believes was meant to harm her spiritually.

As part of her claims, Doris released an audio clip which she said was Tonto’s voice.

In the recording, she alleged that Tonto spoke about contacting a woman she described as a spiritualist in relation to her.

The actress expressed pain over the situation, recalling how she stood by Tonto during her past issues with her former partner, Prince Kpokpogri.

She said she supported her when many others stayed away, making the current situation even more difficult for her to understand.

Doris also warned people to be careful and pay attention to what is happening, stating that the matter should not be taken lightly. She maintained that the situation has left her feeling betrayed.

She said: “Tonto is reporting to k!ll me… why… why are you reporting me to your mamalawo. Guys, you will be shocked at how evil this girl’s heart is.

“Should I keep quiet after seeing this… Ahhh everyone should check oo. This is a bastard I help during her disgraceful ordeal with Kpokpogiri. Make una dey hear oo. Every other person left this girl. I stood by her kai. Why.”

Why Davido Should Have Distributed N200m Birthday Donation To Music Legends – Singer Konga Speaks (Video)

Veteran singer Konga has expressed his disappointment over what he describes as the lack of support from the current generation of Nigerian artists toward industry legends.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Hits Don’t Lie podcast, the Kabakaba crooner said Davido should have supported Nigerian music legends with the N200 million birthday donations he received from his friends and fans in 2021.

 

Recall that Davido added N50 million of his own money, bringing the total to N250 million, which he donated to 292 orphanages across Nigeria.

 

 

 

However, Konga argued that it would have been better if he had used the funds to support struggling music legends, stressing that the funds could have rejuvenated their careers.

He said, “The present crops of Nigerian artists need to humble themselves. Nobody is dragging their money with them. But they have used peer pressure to chase a lot of Nigerian music legends into doing menial jobs abroad.

“If I were part of Davido’s management, one time his friends contributed money to him, I would have said – ‘Davido, carry this money, go and give it to all these legends… bring Baba Fryo back, bring Daddy Showkey. Give Daddy Showkey, Baba Fryo and others N5 million each.’

“If he had done that, the industry would have waken up. Our legends would have dropped a lot of comeback hits. Our music legends are running away due to lack of support. Look at Lord of Ajasa, is that a joke to you? And someone like Olamide will come out to say Wizkid is the greatest Nigerian artist internationally. Where is that coming from? We have been doing international shows for ages.

“You guys are only taking it forward from where we stopped. Fela, King Sunny Ade, Majek Fashek and others have been touring the world for years. Just because our achievements were not documented back then does not mean we did not do anything.”

I Don’t Even Know What To Do — Blessing CEO Laments After Revealing Stage 4 Cancer Diagnosis (Video)

Relationship expert Blessing CEO has spoken out about her health after revealing that she is battling stage 4 cancer.

In a video, she expressed deep appreciation for the support, prayers, and contributions she has received, admitting that the situation has been overwhelming for her.

She explained that the illness started last year as a lump in her breast. After initial tests, she was told it was not cancerous, which made her delay removing it due to other personal commitments at the time.

However, she said when she later returned for further checks earlier this year, another biopsy revealed that the lump had become cancerous and had already spread.

According to her, doctors are now considering surgery, but she said there are still uncertainties about the full extent of the condition until further procedures are carried out.

She also used the moment to highlight the need for more awareness about cancer, admitting that she previously did not fully understand the seriousness of the disease.

Blessing CEO added that the situation has been difficult for her to process, especially as someone who rarely falls sick and is not used to hospital environments.

While stating that she is not one to seek pity, she appealed for support, explaining that medical treatment has left her feeling vulnerable and unable to function at full capacity.

It’s Time To Experience What Pain Feels Like – Nigerian Actress, Sarah Martins Mocks Blessing CEO Following Cancer Diagnosis

Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has alleged that the spirit of the late Bimbo Ogbonna, wife of IVD, is behind Blessing CEO’s illness.

Martins made this claim while commenting on Blessing CEO’s alleged battle with stage 4 breast cancer.

Earlier, 626Blaze reported that Blessing CEO, a popular self-acclaimed relationship expert, on Wednesday solicited financial assistance from the public for chemotherapy treatment.

Reacting to the controversial claim by Blessing CEO, the actress blasted her for speaking against late Bimbo who died from injury sustained from a fire outbreak that happened during a violent incident with IVD at their Lagos residence.

While applauding the Bimbo’s spirit, Sarah urged her to make sure she kills everyone involved in her death.

Speaking in a post on her Instagram page on Thursday, the actress said “What a day to be alive. Dear Bimbo, I see what you did there, keep it up Kpai them all. Either through cancer or whatever means!

“They bragged and mocked your death, now it’s time to experience what pain feels like. Blessing no be for here u go jogodo!

“You mocked the death of a woman that did nothing to you and still went ahead to flaunt her husband after personalizing him!

“God neither sleeps nor slumbers. His timing is always perfect. No be only cancer you go face o, craze go later join. Agba amu”, she wrote.

Recall that Blessing, who claimed to be IVD’s official relationship therapist, took sides with him in 2022 when he was accused of having a hand in his wife’s death.

However a few months after Bimbo’s death, Blessing announced her relationship with IVD, and the duo tied the knot traditionally in 2025.
