Celebrating the achievement alongside his wife, Chioma, Davido also took a moment to express gratitude for the blessings in his life.

“New 🏠 God has been good to us @thechefchi.”

Speaking during an appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast, the rapper recalled how Burna Boy reached out to him before travelling to Ghana, a gesture he said stood out because it showed respect and trust at a time when the Nigerian star was still finding his footing.

According to Shatta Wale, he welcomed Burna Boy personally, picked him up from the airport, and made sure he was comfortable throughout his stay by providing accommodation, transportation, and support while introducing him to life in Ghana.

“Burna Boy is the only artiste who respectfully called me from Nigeria and told me he was coming to Ghana, that I should come and pick him up at the airport. I have never done that for any artiste before in Nigeria. And I felt some way because I was like, I know Burna Boy, but that time he was in his low time, so we picked him up at the airport and brought him down.

I was showing him the ropes of Ghana like this is my town, I gave him a house, cars, and anything he needed. He wasn’t wasting money in Ghana, but I had this team I was working with, and they were messing up. I actually told them I didn’t want to work with them anymore. All like 7 or 5 of these boys that I sacked were calling every rich man and special person in my life to tell them I’m having sex with their wives,” he said.

The Ghanaian musician alleged that after dismissing several members of his entourage, the former associates launched a smear campaign against him, contacting influential people in his circle and spreading damaging allegations.

Shatta Wale claimed Burna Boy was among those targeted, alleging that the former team members falsely accused him of having an affair with a woman Burna Boy had travelled to Ghana with.

According to him, the allegations were never discussed directly, but he noticed a sudden change in their relationship.

“They told Burna Boy that I was f*cking his girl he brought to Ghana, and he just bought it. I had billionaire friends they called. They wanted to break me to everybody. When he left me in Ghana, things still went well. And when I saw Burna moving to places, I was always messaging him, and he didn’t reply. I didn’t know they told him that, and he decided not to talk to me.”

Although Shatta Wale did not indicate whether the two artists have since reconciled, his account offers fresh insight into what he believes led to the end of a friendship that once saw them support each other both personally and professionally.

“I was treating Burna Boy in Ghana like a king… They told Burna Boy I was fvc>ing the girl he brought to Ghana…His mom is like my mother…”

Speaking during an interview with the BBC, the award-winning singer explained that she explored several stage names early in her career but eventually realized they carried expectations she wasn’t comfortable with.

“One of the names that I had played with in my early days was Electra, but I changed my mind because I felt that the minute you hear Electra, you already expect me to be electrifying, and I didn’t want people to see me coming or overexpect.

I wanted them not to know what’s coming, and then I tried another name, Ginger, but the problem is, in Nigeria, when you say ginger, it means energy, and I’m just telling everybody who I am before they meet me.”

Rather than settling for a stage identity, Alade said she sought divine guidance before ultimately deciding that her given name best reflected her purpose and personal journey.

“I had a moment where I just sat on the idea, and I honestly just reached out to God and just asked, ‘Please lead me,’ and the reckoning that came to me was that I needed to stick to my birth name because it had a huge meaning behind it.

Opeyemi means ‘thanks be to God,’ and Alade means ‘the one who holds the crown.’ I feel like that embodies who I am, so I held on to it.”

The singer also shared how her relationship with fans across Africa inspired her to make her music more accessible by recording songs in multiple languages. According to her, the idea came after witnessing the passion of audiences who sang along to her music despite not understanding English or her native languages.

“The first language I translated my music into was French, and it was born out of curiosity. I felt a very strong connection with many French-speaking African fans when I saw them in the front row of my concerts, singing my songs even though they didn’t speak English or any of my native languages.

So I thought to myself, why don’t I do something very dear to them and show them I truly love them? That’s where my desire to start translating my music came from. I later went on to translate my music into Swahili and Portuguese.”

Reflecting on the evolution of the music industry, Alade acknowledged that women today are receiving greater acceptance than in previous years. However, she stressed that there is still more work to be done to achieve stronger female representation across the industry.

According to the singer, the journey has not necessarily become easier for women, but opportunities have gradually expanded. She encouraged more women to step forward and continue breaking barriers, noting that increased participation is key to creating a more balanced and inclusive music industry.

Yemi Alade has built a reputation as one of Africa’s most internationally recognised performers, with her multilingual approach helping her connect with audiences across the continent and beyond. Her latest reflections offer a glimpse into the intentional decisions that have shaped both her identity and her enduring success in the global music scene.

The appointment also sees her become the first woman to executive produce a soundtrack of this scale, further expanding her influence beyond recording and performing.

In addition to overseeing the soundtrack’s creative direction, Tems recorded three brand-new original songs for the project, giving fans fresh music while helping shape the sonic identity of one of the year’s most anticipated movie releases.

The soundtrack also boasts an impressive lineup of Nigerian stars, with Ayra Starr, BNXN, and Fireboy DML contributing to the project. Their inclusion, alongside Tems’ leadership, reinforces the growing influence of Afrobeats on the global entertainment stage.

Acclaimed filmmaker Gina Prince-Bythewood revealed why Tems was the natural choice to lead the soundtrack, applauding her creativity and the quality of the final body of work.

“I wanted Tems to curate the soundtrack. I wanted her to executive produce it. She’s actually the first woman to executive produce a soundtrack at this level, which is incredible. She put together an epic soundtrack. There are absolutely no skips… The soundtrack is so amazing, and I’m so proud of Tems, who had never done this before and created something truly extraordinary.”

The director’s praise highlights the confidence placed in Tems to create a soundtrack capable of matching the scale and emotion of the film. Her new role reflects a significant step in her artistic journey, showcasing her ability to lead major creative projects beyond the recording studio.

Adding further star power to the production, Burna Boy has been appointed executive music consultant, working alongside Tems to help shape the overall musical direction of the soundtrack.

Adapted from Tomi Adeyemi’s bestselling fantasy novel, Children of Blood and Bone has already generated enormous anticipation ahead of its release. With some of Nigeria’s biggest music stars contributing to its soundtrack, the film is expected to make an even stronger impact globally, while further cementing Afrobeats’ growing presence in Hollywood and international cinema.

The Grammy-winning singer is scheduled to perform in the city on December 22, although the venue is yet to be announced.

The Lagos concert forms part of the singer’s ambitious 34-date A*POP World Tour, which was unveiled on Monday in support of her sophomore album, A*POP, released on July 24. Presented by Live Nation, the tour marks Tyla’s biggest international outing to date and her first headline run spanning Europe, North America, and Africa.

For fans in Nigeria, the announcement represents another major milestone in Tyla’s rapidly growing career. After spending the last few years building a global audience, the singer is now set to headline some of the world’s biggest cities before returning to the African continent to close out the tour.

The journey begins on October 12 in Paris before making its way through several European destinations, including Amsterdam, London, Glasgow, Manchester, Brussels, Berlin, Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen.

From there, Tyla heads to North America, kicking off that leg on November 12 in Sacramento with additional performances scheduled in San Francisco, Vancouver, Chicago, Boston, New York, Houston, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.

Lagos will serve as the opening stop for the African leg of the tour. Following the Nigerian performance, Tyla is expected to perform in Cape Town on January 4, 2027, before concluding the continental run in Johannesburg on January 9, 2027.

The upcoming tour also signals a significant step up from her previous live outings. While her We Wanna Party Tour in 2025 focused exclusively on Asia, and earlier appearances largely supported promotional activities, the A*POP World Tour is her first full-scale headline tour across multiple continents.

Fans hoping to secure a spot at the Lagos show won’t have to wait long. Artist presale tickets become available on Wednesday, July 29, while general ticket sales begin on Friday, July 31, at 10 a.m. local time, with additional ticketing and tour details available through Tyla’s official platforms.

The singer shared his thoughts during an interview with a music platform, where he discussed the meaning behind his recent track “I Know Who I Be” and the personal message he hopes listeners take from it.

According to Davido, beyond the success, streams and recognition that come with making music, knowing that his songs can inspire people to believe in themselves remains one of his biggest motivations.

“I’m just happy that my music is bringing confidence to people who don’t have the motivation,” he said.

Breaking down the inspiration behind I Know Who I Be, the singer explained that the song is centred around self-belief and the importance of embracing one’s individual journey rather than comparing it with others.

“You can’t live my story. You should be confident enough to live your story,” he said.

Davido also highlighted what he believes makes African music special, pointing out that songs from the continent often carry an infectious energy that encourages people to dance, regardless of the emotions or themes being explored.

Reflecting on the visuals for the song, the singer described the music video as a symbolic reminder of his journey from chasing his dreams in private to celebrating success openly with the same people who supported him from the beginning.

“If you look at the video, the full-circle moment was my guys and me in black suits. Some of my friends and I used to sneak out to do music and perform at shows. Now everybody is proud of me. We are standing in the same place we used to hide in, and now we are shooting a whole music video.”

Davido’s story of persistence has often included memories of the early days of his career, when he pursued music despite his father’s initial reservations about his chosen path.

Over time, his determination, hard work, and achievements helped change that perspective, turning those early struggles into part of the success story he continues to share today.

The singer shared glimpses from the football-inspired party, where the birthday boy enjoyed the day surrounded by friends and loved ones.

Videos from the celebration captured the excitement of the young football enthusiast and his guests, including a moment where Jamil and his friends proudly declared, “Ronaldo is the best,” while posing together for a group picture.

Another heartwarming clip showed Tiwa Savage joining friends and family to sing a birthday song for her son, creating a memorable moment for the birthday boy.

Beyond the celebration, the award-winning singer took time to reflect on motherhood and the special bond she shares with Jamil, whom she affectionately calls JamJam. In a heartfelt message, Tiwa explained that raising her son has deepened her understanding of love, sacrifice and faith.

The singer revealed that the experience of caring for Jamil helped her see a connection between a mother’s unconditional love and God’s love for humanity.

She wrote:

“Guys being mama jam jam has taught me more about God’s love than I ever imagined. The way I worry about him, celebrate him, protect him, forgive him, believe in him … the way I’d give anything (even my own life) for him. It made me stop and think … this sounds so familiar.

“Because if I can love my son this deeply as an imperfect human being, how much more does our perfect Heavenly Father love us?”

She continued:

“Maybe that’s why God calls us His children. Every hug, every prayer, every sacrifice, every moment of unconditional love I feel for Jamil is just a tiny reflection of the love God has always had for us.”

The singer also celebrated her son with a touching birthday tribute, describing him as one of the greatest blessings in her life.

“Happy 11th birthday to my greatest blessing, my answered prayer, my best friend. Watching you grow is one of the greatest privileges of my life.”

“I love you more than words will ever be able to say. And even that love is only a glimpse of how much God loves you, JamJam”

Tiwa Savage and Jamil have consistently shared a close relationship in the public eye, with the singer often speaking about her commitment to raising him with strong values and helping him grow into a compassionate and respectful young man.

The Afrobeats superstar’s latest feat makes him only the second Nigerian artist ever to top the prestigious chart, joining Tems, who previously achieved the milestone through her appearance on Future’s hit record Wait for U featuring Drake in 2022.

The song’s rise to the top comes shortly after Burna Boy and Shakira delivered a headline-making performance at the inaugural FIFA World Cup Halftime Show.

Following the global exposure from the event, Dai Dai experienced a major boost across streaming platforms, pushing it to the peak of Apple Music’s worldwide ranking.

The achievement further highlights Burna Boy’s growing influence as one of Africa’s biggest musical exports, with the Nigerian star continuing to set new records on the international stage.

Beyond his latest chart success, Burna Boy has also enjoyed remarkable commercial achievements throughout his career.

According to data from music consumption analytics platform Chartmasters, the Port Harcourt-born singer has accumulated 14.46 million equivalent album units, earning recognition as the best-selling African artist of all time.

His impact also extends beyond streaming numbers. Burna Boy has established himself as Africa’s biggest touring artist, consistently selling out major venues around the world and breaking records with his live performances.

From dominating global charts to making history on some of the world’s biggest stages, Burna Boy’s continued success reflects the expanding influence of Afrobeats and his position as one of the genre’s most important global ambassadors.

The Grammy-winning rapper addressed the public speculation in a video shared on her Instagram Story, shortly after she and the Udinese shot-stopper were seen enjoying a dinner outing with friends at Gio’s Restaurant inside the St. Regis Hotel in Venice.

Speaking about the constant interest in her private affairs, Cardi B explained that she often feels placed under a level of public observation that many other celebrities do not experience.

She said:

“No cap, I’m really hip hop’s Britney Spears.”

The rapper noted that she is aware of plenty of details about other celebrities’ personal lives, but believes similar situations involving others rarely attract the same level of attention.

She said:

“I got all the tea on these celebrities… I know who’s with who and what’s doing what. But guess what? Nobody reports about it. You want to know why? Because nobody cares.”

Cardi B further expressed frustration that even everyday moments in her life can quickly become subjects of public discussion and online conversations.

She said:

“But when it comes to me… I can’t even… do anything without people talking about it. This is crazy.”

Despite the attention that continues to follow her, the rapper acknowledged that public scrutiny is part of being one of the world’s biggest entertainers and something she has learned to accept.

She added:

“You’ve got to take the good with the bad. It is what it is. People pay for this type of talk.”

The comments come after her recent outing with Okoye, which has generated widespread reactions online, although neither the rapper nor the Nigerian goalkeeper has confirmed any romantic relationship.

“ I know other celebrities that are fvcking each other and nobody is talking about but mine is always different.”
