He said that God had spared him from blowing himself up next to the car.
“God did it. Yes, he saved my life. I am grateful to God. My Range Rover exploded while I was still in the car driving on the high way back from Alabama to Atlanta,” he wrote.

Please take note that this is not a list of the top music producers, rather a list of those who are currently producing hit songs.
Niphkeys
One of the folks who is huge on the Amapiano fusions is Niphkeys. The pop sounds and his powerful drum beats combine with the African shaker effects that have always worked for him. For Marlian Music performer Zinoleesky, Niphkeys had written and produced a few great tracks.
He co-produced “Dada Remix” by Young Jonn and “I’m a mess” by Omah Lay, to name a couple, more recently.
Rapper Chance the Rapper and Nigerian heavyweight vocalist David Adeleke, better known by his stage as Davido, were recently spotted working in the studio together.
The pair, who have demonstrated that they get along well, are still seen together while they work to advance their artistic careers.
Recall that Chance the Rapper unexpectedly showed up at Davido’s concert in Chicago sometime in June 2022.
This came when Davido and Chance the Rapper collaborated in a club in 2021 and debuted a song that, in Davido’s words, was meant to be on his “A Better Time” album.
Pictures that have been circulating online depict both performers at what appears to be a recording session in Ghana, providing an update on the situation.
No wonder Wizkid dey always avoid Davido, Baba no fit forget wetin OBO do am.
This incident happened far back as 2012.
So for you guys, here is the complete gist.
Although Davido may claim to be Wizkid’s “brother” and even deny that a conflict is developing between the two artists, insider sources indicate such is not the case.
Before Davido’s meteoric rise to fame, he and Wizkid had never met, but that soon changed as Davido also became well-known and they were able to connect on a friendly level until sometime in May, when the amicable connection soured.
Wizkid apparently wasn’t having a great time while chilling at a hotel somewhere on the Island so he decided to call his friend, Davido, who at the time was hanging out with five other friends of his, according to an insider who is familiar with the pair and the origin of their no-love-lost relationship. The Omo Baba Olowo then gave his assistant the order to go pick up Wizkid from a hotel located behind the 1004 building on VI.
Before moving the celebration to Movida on Idowu Taylor, VI, Wizkid quickly joined Davido and his group of friends at a club in the civic center where they had a few drinks.
While they were there, Wizkid had one too many drinks for the evening and Davido ordered some bottles of Hennessey for himself and two new friends who had joined them. As they drank, Wizkid grew tipsy and weak.
He was taken outside to Davido’s car, where he allegedly puked, right away. While abandoning his friend and coworker, Davido was nowhere to be found.
As Davido had vanished into thin air and was under pressure to pay the bills, the bartenders eventually produced a bill for about N500,000. Davido’s assistant then took the bartenders to Wizkid’s house, where he was compelled to write them a check to cover their unpaid expenses.
Their relationship suffered as a result of this one-off action because Wizkid felt betrayed by Davido. Following the painful dissolution of Mo’Hits, their relationship had already been put to the test because both artists’ allegiances were split between Don Jazzy and D’banj.
But it was when Davido was sending out invitations to guests for the launch of his O.B.O Album and he didn’t send any to Wizkid that would ultimately prove to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Additionally, to many people’s chagrin at the NEA two weeks ago in New York, Davido and his entourage allegedly sauntered out on a Wizkid performance.
Is it not clear that there is a problem between these two great stars after these occurrences, Davido’s denial, and Wizkid’s blatant silence in the face of all the “fighting” rumors? Could this be the time, from Wizkid’s perspective, when “quiet is golden”? Only time will tell.

Will Wizkid ever be able to forgive Davido for what he did to him?

Some less gifted actresses are being forced to act in surprising ways by the fight to stay relevant in the industry.
Nkechi Blessing is one of those actresses who lacks talent and has nothing particularly noteworthy to offer the industry, in my opinion. I do not find her to be talented in any way.
She is so desperate that she will do anything to maintain her status and keep getting paid.
At her mother’s one-year memorial service yesterday, she was spotted sharing Dildo.
Check out the video:
🎥@ Goldmynetv
Sadly, while engaging in all of this crap to remain relevant, she doesn’t actually make much more money than others who are talented. Sad reality!
Now let’s get to you all.
What do you think of the useless Nkechi blessing that was recited at the mother’s one-year memorial service?
Rush has solidified Ayra Starr’s position as the country’s “sabi girl” of music, topping the Apple Music top songs lists. Read on to learn more.
With Mavin Records’ self-described “sabi girl,” Ayra Starr, climbing to the top of Apple Music Nigeria’s Top Songs lists, it has truly turned into a fight of the fresh bloods.
Rush has now overthrown Asake’s rule on the top songs chart, with the YBNL singer’s Joha ranking as the second top song. This comes after the record had jumped from the fourth position to the third on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top 100 charts.
Though the top songs chart for Apple Music Nigeria differs from the Top 100 chart, the former always serves as a guide to the rankings of songs on the latter. The Top Songs chart, which is updated before the Top 100, also indicates that Rush by Ayra Starr is the current No. 1 song in the nation.
Since being signed as a Mavin activation talent in January 2021, Rush has achieved a new peak, making this her third solo hit. Bloody Samaritan from her debut album, 19 & Dangerous from her debut self-titled EP, and Away from the same album are among the other songs.
