Young musician and former DMW signee Yonda begs his old manager Davido to forgive and accept him back.
The musician posted a discussion he had with the Afrobeats superstar on social media, pleading for another opportunity.
Yonda made a prodigal son-like appeal to be accepted back into the DMW family after being disclosed to Davido that he had been blacklisted in the music business and that his music career was over.
The DMW CEO responded by saying that he misses his ex-signee as well.
Yonda continued to beg him, telling him that Davido was the nicest thing that had ever happened to him.
His message read:

Estimates of Wizkid’s earnings from his “More Love, Less Ego” performance at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in the US.
At his “More Love Less Ego” concert at the Madison Square Garden (MSG) in the US, Wizkid gave a performance that will be remembered in history, and reports about how much money he made from the event have surfaced.
On November 16, 2022, the starboy had a performance in front of a crowd of 20,000 people in New York, USA. It was said that the artist sold over 12,000 tickets for the event at a price of $77 each, making the performance one to remember.
The artist reportedly earned more over $1 million from the single-day performance, according to rumors. In the days ahead, the singer would face a fresh obstacle. Burna Boy took the stage before Wizkid, and it was revealed how much he reportedly made as well. Wizkid is not the first African performer to appear at the venue.
Think of this as your yearbook if you were a member of the Class of 2022. These are the traits of the classmates you have. Let’s go!😂
Portable
The class’s huckster. He always has rips in his uniform from fights. On his head is a lapalapa. Teachers do not make an effort to make sure he knows what they are saying. They already know he won’t listen.
Tiwa Savage
tiwa savage
She is the class’s hottie. Boys in your class that smell bad don’t even bother to approach her. She only hangs out with senior boys. Her attire? always spotless.
Burna Boy
burna boy
His parents are wealthy, and he previously attended school abroad, but as a punishment, he is now back in Nigeria. He is now the privileged kid in the class who avoids all other students. He can’t tolerate Portable, and everyone else smells.
Tope Alabi
Give your life to Christ is what she has written on her desk. She leads the group in praise and worship each morning as the chapel prefect. She takes the lead and responds to queries as though it were a contest. In CRK, she has never received anything less than an A. She’s the only member in your group whose uniform wasn’t slim-fit.
Ayra Starr
ayra starr
Prefect of society. She literally puts forth good vibrations. There is never a dull moment with her.
Teni
She is mean. She is feared not only by juniors, but also by the boys in her class. She always occupies the last seat in the group. She also takes her phone to class.
Rema
rema
Rema is only interested in going to English class because he loves the teacher. You know if you know, right?
Dwin the Stoic
He knows how to sing and makes it his entire personality, which has helped him win every talent competition since JSS 1. Swag? None. Babes? He’s been friendzoned by everyone. But he can sing, at least.
It’s wonderful to see the duo continue to set the bar high for other contemporary African artists.
Wizkid, a legendary heavyweight singer from Nigeria, has partnered Burna Boy in producing another epic moment in the annals of African music.
Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning singer and performer, sold out his “One Night in Space event” at Madison Square Garden in New York on Thursday, April 28, 2022, making it a historic accomplishment for African and Nigerian music.
After accomplishing that feat, Wizkid, an Afrobeats artist, joined him on top of the podium yesterday, November 16, 2022, to sell out the arena’s 20,789 seats, making them the only Nigerian and African artists to have done so.
British artist Stefflon Don, who was Burna Boy’s ex-girlfriend, has criticized a guy who pose as men but are really just mama’s boys.
The two ex-lovers split up last year, and ever since then, they have been making subtle jabs at one another.
Burna Boy and his mother, Mrs. Bose Ogulu, who also serves as his manager, are very close and frequently spotted together at his performances and other public events.
Stefflon Don chose to mock men who pose as men but are really just their mothers’ boys in a video she posted on her TikTok account.
Burna Boy became the first and only African musician to accomplish a new achievement, continuing his streak of record-breaking on the international stage.
Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning singer and songwriter, just accomplished something that has never before been done in African music. The entertainment portal 626blaze is always lauding the enormous successes of afrobeats around the world.
The great singer that never gets tired of placing Africa and the afrobeats sound on the map established a new record with the gold RIAA certification received by ‘Last Last.’
‘Last Last’ has currently sold over 500,000 units in the US alone, and it is the third solo song by the singer to reach this record. Burna Boy receives the RIAA gold certification for his solo tracks “Last Last,” “On The Low,” and “Ye,” making him the first and only African musician to do so.

A number of the biggest music markets in the world have certified “Last Last.” Additionally, it is certified as gold in France after selling more than 100,000 pieces, platinum in Canada after selling more than 80,000 units, and gold in the UK after selling more than 400,000 units.
Released through Roc Nation Records/Def Jam Recordings/Hollywood Records is the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Music From and Inspired By soundtrack, which was created by Ryan Coogler, Ludwig Göransson, Archie Davis, and Dave Jordan. The American premiere of Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which was produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore, takes place on November 11, 2022.
Lift Me Up, the lead single from Rihanna, made history by becoming the most added song in U.S. radio history. It also attracted the biggest single-day audience and the most spins ever.
Over 40 international artists recorded songs for The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Music From and Inspired By soundtrack in Lagos, Nigeria, Mexico City, London, and Los Angeles. Rihanna, Burna Boy, Rema, Tems, Fireboy DML, OG DAYV, Future, CKay, PinkPantheress, E-40, and many more are among the featured musicians.
The score and the original songs on the soundtrack were written and produced by Oscar, Grammy, and two Emmy winner Ludwig Göransson. He was particularly prepared to oversee all sections of the soundscape due to his significant experience working as a producer of musicians (Childish Gambino, Adele, Haim, Justin Timberlake), as well as scoring movies and TV shows (Black Panther, Creed, The Mandalorian).
Coogler and Göransson set out to create an avant-garde soundscape for their fourth film project, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, where Göransson claims, “The songs and score are one.” With Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the two artists finally brought their long-discussed method to life. They had been talking about it ever since they were students at the USC Film School.
Over 2500 hours were spent by Göransson in what turned out to be a major labor of love, involving six studios, three continents, and five different countries. The audience will hear more than 250 musicians, two orchestras, two choirs, and more than 40 vocalists throughout the entire movie.
Recording sessions were organized in Lagos, Nigeria, Mexico City, and Abbey Road Studios in London because the plot is influenced by Mesoamerican and Nigerian traditions. Producers collaborated with well-known musicians from Lagos, including Tems, who is now a center for musical creativity. The soundtrack also includes work from up-and-coming rappers and musicians from Mexico City, such as the Mayan-only rapper Pat Boy.
To investigate and examine Mayan music, Göransson collaborated closely with music archeologist Alejandro Rojas while in Mexico City. The soundscape’s composition included instruments from Mesoamerican and Nigerian civilizations.
