Her words are: “@davido strikes again! This go over choke. Happiness is what we got on this side. Your celebrity car dealer is ready to deliver again.”

In honor of the upcoming Independence Day, Apple Music released a list of the greatest Nigerian songs ever, and it includes some of our favorites.
Under the banner of its “Oshe Naija” promotion, Apple Music recognized some of the most well-known songs and performers in Nigeria by publishing a list of the top Nigerian songs, albums, and artists of all time.
Burna Boy took the top spot in the Top Nigerian Artists category, followed by Wizkid, Davido, and Fireboy DML and Tems, who came in at positions four and five for new-age artists, respectively.
See the list below:
The top song in the Top Songs of All Time category was Ckay’s Love Nwantiti, followed by Wizkid’s Tems-featuring Essence, Fireboy’s Peru, Ye, and Burna Boy’s Last Last, which came in fourth and fifth, respectively.
Wizkid’s Made In Lagos topped the list of all-time greatest Nigerian albums, followed by Burna Boy’s African Giant, Love Damini in third, Twice As Tall in fourth, and Tems’ For Broken Ears in fifth.
Ckay’s “Love Nwantiti” was the most shazammed Nigerian song of all time, followed by Rema’s “Calm Down” and Fireboy DML and Ed Sheeran’s “Peru.”

Some people might disagree with Apple Music on this, particularly in the instance of the Top Nigerian Artiste, but keep in mind that all of these calculations were made using numbers.

Davido has been dragged by Dammy Krane ever since he recently called him out on social media for debt!
Dammy Krane took the disagreement to Twitter on Monday and accused Davido of refusing to pay him for his songwriting contribution to an earlier-released track, even after privately approaching the DMW boss. According to the singer, Davido was still yet to pay him for his contribution to one of his songs.
Remember how Dammy Krane was occasionally detained in the US for fraud? Dammy allegedly skipped bail and escaped to Nigeria. After arriving in the US, he was arrested at the airport, accused of a crime, and given a jail term.
Davidó did not at all assist me when I was imprisoned – Dámmy Krane!
Dammy Krane claims that while incarcerated, he made contact with Davido and some of the 30BG’s key players to let them know that he had been sexually raped by some of his fellow inmates and to implore Davido to help him get out of jail as quickly as possible.
Dammy Krane was ignored by Davido since he was unable to take action and did not want to damage his reputation.
Dammy was deported to Nigeria after spending his sentence in prison. He has never stopped blaming Davidó “for leaving him in there to be in prison for so long” and pleading with Davidó to try and get an elite Attorney to try and get him out of prison but Davido didn’t do so, according to reliable sources. The sexual assault in the prison had a negative impact on his mental state.
In my view
Since he held Davido in such high regard, I personally believe his reasons for being unhappy with him are valid, but they should just attempt to work things out amicably.
To the rest of you,
Do you believe Davido was justified in ignoring him while he was incarcerated?
Let’s hear your opinions on this from everyone.

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.
This Day is the source of this article.
Will Wizkid ever be able to forgive Davido for what he did to him?
Prior to 2019, the knighting of a legendary album took place every second to every third year. This only made sense since there weren’t many albums released, which meant there weren’t many excellent albums, and because the rate at which artists released albums was inadequate in and of itself. Davido, who only put out two albums during the review period but accomplished countless feats to become an all-time great, is a clear example of this. Having a strong discography was only a bonus in this sector, which was mostly a singles market.
Although there were iconic albums that gave rise to the period between 2012 and 2014, such as Olamide’s trifecta of YBNL, Baddest Guy Ever Liveth, and Street OT (all albums won in the Album Of The Year category at the Headies.) In 2016, Simi released Simisola, and in 2017, Kizz Daniel released New Era. However, it wasn’t until 2018 that multiple albums achieved notable success in a single year. Both Outside by Burna Boy and About 30 by Adekunle Gold were commercially and critically successful songs. Particularly Burna’s Outside, which eventually led to his ascent to the pinnacle of the mainstream.
The enormous popularity of African Giant and Fireboy DML’s Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps will intensify the tide the next year. The latter was more of an unparalleled mainstream hit in the business, but the former was a significant record trigger point in the ‘Afrobeats To The World’ movement. We hadn’t experienced this level of popularity on a first album since Wizkid’s Superstar in 2011.
Before starting to prepare themselves for their own individual projects, it was almost as if every artist paid close attention to the rebellious-esque popularity of Fireboy’s debut album and its influence on the soundscape. It’s not unrealistic to believe that even artists who hadn’t planned to release an album that year chose to do so as time went on given the enormous increase in album releases that occurred in 2020. The year 2020 gave us a ton of timeless and soon-to-be timeless songs, including Made In Lagos by Wizkid, Carpe Diem by Olamide, Twice As Tall by Burna Boy, Apollo by Fireboy DML, Boo Of The Booless by Chike, etc.
Additionally, EPs had a tremendous year. Omah Lay had a record-setting breakthrough year thanks to two successful EPs that yielded numerous hit songs. Even though practically every song on Get Layd was a successful single, What Have We Done gave rise to the artist’s biggest solo hit to date, Godly, which came from that album. Bella Schmurda debuted with the very energizing High Tension, following a breakthrough Olamide co-sign in Vision 2020, while Tems also released a strong breakout EP in For Broken Ears.
It was safe to state that the market was back to being an album market at the end of 2020. Moving forward to the third quarter of 2022, we are experiencing a year that is equally crowded and inundated as 2020 in terms of releases. It certainly seem possible that we could witness a flooding album year every two years as a trend.
Nigerian A-list and B-list musicians appear to have an odd preoccupation with the third and fourth quarters of the year. In 2020, the second half of the year saw the publication of 70% of the year’s new albums, while the last quarter saw virtually weekly album releases. For instance, in the week that followed the release of Burna Boy’s Twice As Tall, Cuppy’s debut album Original Copy and Adekunle Gold’s Afro-Pop Vol. 1 were both released on the same day, immediately following the release of Fireboy DML’s Apollo the day before.
Olamide’s Carpe Diem arrived just three weeks before Made In Lagos by Wizkid, Davido’s A Better Time, and Wizkid in the span of two weeks. In actuality, had it not been for the #EndSars protest and internet campaigns that paralyzed the business, the time between CD and MIL would have been shorter. Although their records were released in a short period of time, these three performers were unquestionably the most successful trio of the previous ten years.
In any sector, having a crowded album culture is not ideal. Projects require time and breathing room to reach their full potential, allowing both analysts and non-specialists to assess the project’s true potential for success. The market is currently being oversaturated with projects, which is preventing the one released the week prior from having a chance to establish itself. We have had the same barrage of back-to-back album releases in 2022—since July, to be exact.
Boy Alone, Playboy, The Guy, Bad, Love Damini, The Brother’s Keeper are all albums that were released since 1997 at a period with inadequate breathing room. The longest amount of time between albums was two weeks, and the fact that the current generation struggles with short attention spans and that record rotation is often brisk doesn’t help.
Even performers with respectable fan bases, such as Adekunle Gold, Falz, and Simi, have received lukewarm reviews for albums they released earlier in the year. Talk about breakout performers that put out great initial EPs but never had the chance to fully transform into popular stardom. Only musicians with contemporary momentum have survived in this competitive field.
Wizkid’s More Love, Less Ego is rumored to be set for release in October. Next month also sees the release of Blaqbonez’s Young Preacher and Ayra Starr’s 19 & Dangerous Deluxe Edition. This week will see the arrival of Ckay’s Sad Romance, and there won’t be many weeks between that release and the anticipated influx that will follow. Since a number of musicians, including Davido, Runtown, Bella Schmurda, Show Dem Camp, Zinoleesky, Bad Boy Timz, Lojay, and a host of others, will release albums before the year is up, we can be sure that November and December will be busy as well.
We must learn from other, more advanced businesses and refrain from releasing all of our important albums at once in the second half of the year. In order to maximize each album’s potential and ensure that it achieves its full potential, mainstream musicians should be more willing to release albums in Q1 and Q2. Great albums will continue to slip under the radar until that time, while a select few unlucky ones steal the show. Both audiences and artists profit from an album release schedule that is more balanced and healthy.
David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has responded to a man who threatened to slap his babymama, Chioma, for a statement she made.
Everything began when Davido’s brother, Adewale Adeleke, displayed a 90 million naira custom-built Bentley Bentayga.
Chioma simply commented, “Congrats, bro,” in the comment section.
A commenter reacted to her statement by criticizing her for using impolite language and saying that if he were Adewale, he would have hit her.
He stated: “You are rude, if na me I for slap you, rephrase your sentence with respect”.
Davido was enraged by this statement and vowed to make him “run” away from Nigeria.
‘@bighush7 you go slap who? Ok u go run from Nigeria .. bet it’, the singer said.
The commenter later apologized and begged forgiveness, he said: ‘@davido I nor try am prize you ooooo!!! Na your grace I wan tap from and I don get am ooo forgive me!!! Na you I they with ooo’.
