The backlash began after Cubana Chief Priest shared a post on Instagram, where he offered condolences to victims of the violence in Jos but suggested the attack could have been politically motivated. He also urged security agencies to step up efforts in addressing insecurity across the country.

However, his remarks were met with widespread criticism online, with many Nigerians describing the statement as insensitive given the tragic loss of lives.

Reacting strongly, Skales dismissed the comments as “delusional,” questioning why attention was being placed on political optics instead of the human toll.

“This guy is delusional… I can’t believe he said that,” Skales wrote. “Lives were lost and all you care about is the presidency being embarrassed. Where is your conscience?”

The singer went further to call out what he sees as a lack of empathy, stressing that the focus should remain on the victims and the seriousness of the violence rather than political narratives.

The 24-year-old Tyla secured her second Grammy Award in the Best African Music Performance category at the 68th Grammy Awards, held on February 1, 2026, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.

Her hit track “Push 2 Start” from the album Tyla edged out stiff competition, including Ayra Starr and Wizkid’s “Gimme Dat,” Burna Boy’s “Love,” Davido and Omah Lay’s “With You,” and Eddy Kenzo and Mehran Matin’s “Hope & Love.”

Grammy’s official Instagram page, which boasts 3.8 million followers, confirmed the win, posting:

“That’s GRAMMY-Winning Tyla to you! Tyla won Best African Music Performer award for ‘PUSH 2 START’.”

However, Cubana Chief Priest did not hold back in the comments section, deriding Tyla with a sharp critique. Labelling her an “Industry Plantain 🍌,” he implied that her success was not entirely due to talent but rather the result of backing from influential figures within the Grammy setup.

The term “Industry Plantain” is a play on “Industry Plant,” suggesting that Tyla’s rise, despite now being a two-time Grammy winner, may have been aided by hidden industry support rather than purely organic recognition.

Cubana Chief Priest’s comments have since sparked online debates, with fans divided between defending Tyla’s accomplishments and echoing the nightlife impresario’s criticism.

Global Afrobeats sensation Davido continues to strengthen his role as a cultural ambassador after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris, a moment that has drawn widespread attention and admiration online.

The singer, whose real name is David Adeleke, shared photos from the meeting on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account on Thursday, October 22, 2025, describing the encounter as an opportunity to discuss shared visions for a better and more connected world.

“It was an honor meeting @EmmanuelMacron and sharing our visions for a better world,” Davido wrote in his post, which quickly began trending across social media platforms.

The meeting, held in the French capital, was attended by Davido’s longtime manager, Asa Asika, and prominent Nigerian businessman Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest.

Photos from the engagement showed a warm, relaxed atmosphere as Macron and Davido exchanged ideas and smiles.

Observers have noted that the meeting underscores Macron’s continued engagement with African creatives and youth leaders, a key part of France’s broader cultural diplomacy strategy.

The French president has long shown interest in strengthening ties with Africa’s creative industries, previously meeting with artists and innovators from across the continent.

For Davido, the Paris visit marks yet another milestone in his expanding global footprint, one that goes beyond music.

With multiple chart-topping albums, sold-out international tours, and philanthropic initiatives under his belt, the Afrobeats star has consistently positioned himself as a bridge between Africa and the global stage.

This latest meeting with President Macron reinforces that image, spotlighting Davido not only as a global music icon but also as a voice for cultural collaboration and progress.

Afrobeats megastar Davido has once again shown his deep sense of family and philanthropy by immortalising his late mother, Dr. Veronica Adeleke, through a newly inaugurated female hostel at Clifford University, Abia State.

The commissioning, which formed part of the university’s 6th convocation ceremony, drew cheers from students, faculty, and fans who gathered to witness the emotional moment.

Accompanied by his 30BG crew and nightlife mogul Cubana Chief Priest, Davido cut the ribbon to officially unveil the Veronica Adeleke Hostel, describing the project as a heartfelt celebration of his mother’s life and impact.

He recounted how her legacy as a teacher, philanthropist, and advocate for education continues to shape his values, artistry, and humanitarian efforts.

During his stirring address, Davido reflected on the determination of young graduates and shared words of inspiration that resonated deeply with the crowd.

“When I looked into the faces of the graduates, I saw the same fire that built me, that hunger to be seen, to turn pain into power,” Davido said. “Talent might open the door, but purpose gives it meaning.”

Adding to the day’s generosity, Cubana Chief Priest announced he would pay the tuition fees of 50 students, a gesture that further elevated the spirit of giving that defined the event.

Clifford University’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Chimezie Omeonu, praised Davido for his continued commitment to education and for being an inspiration to young Africans striving for excellence.

Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account after the ceremony, Davido shared his emotions about the dedication, writing:

“My mother, Dr. Veronica Adeleke, believed education and compassion could change lives. This building is a continuation of her purpose, turning love into legacy.”

The occasion ended with the ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by university officials, students, and special guests, a fitting close to a day that celebrated not just music or fame, but legacy, love, and the enduring power of purpose.

Popular nightlife entrepreneur Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, and music executive Ubi Franklin have debunked viral reports alleging they were involved in a physical altercation at a luxury hotel in Abuja.

The two men, close associates of Afrobeats superstar Davido, appeared together in a video posted on Instagram to dismiss the claims as false and baseless.

The clip, which featured both personalities seated in the backseat of a vehicle, was shared by Davido’s logistics aide, Israel DMW.

In the video, Israel, speaking from the front passenger seat, poked fun at the rumors and questioned their credibility. “I do not understand oo, people can lie lie. They were saying CP did not want… Say Ubi dey find invite for wedding,” he said in disbelief.

The speculation began circulating online on Thursday after a blog claimed that Chief Priest and Ubi Franklin got into a heated exchange at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, which allegedly escalated into a physical scuffle.

According to the blog, the altercation stemmed from Chief Priest’s alleged attempt to block Ubi from reentering Davido’s inner circle, supposedly in connection with an invite to the singer’s upcoming white wedding in the United States this August.

However, the public show of camaraderie between the two in the video appears to have silenced any lingering doubts. Both men could be seen laughing and chatting, clearly unbothered by the speculation.

This isn’t the first time Ubi Franklin has publicly expressed his deep connection to Davido and his wife, Chioma. In June last year, just before their traditional wedding, Ubi penned an emotional tribute, recalling how Davido had entrusted him with managing Chioma’s career back in 2018—before the two had even met in person.

He described Chioma as a rare gem, praising her gentle spirit and unshakable loyalty. “I’ve never met anyone who had anything bad to say about her,” Ubi wrote at the time. He also lauded Davido’s support and pledged continued loyalty to the couple, wishing them success in their marital and business lives.

With the recent video clearing the air, it’s now evident that there’s no rift between the two high-profile figures. Instead, their bond with Davido—and with each other—appears as strong as ever.

Superstar singer Davido and nightlife impresario Cubana Chiefpriest recently made headlines after being spotted in Abuja with Nigeria’s Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

The high-profile meeting was revealed in a video shared on Instagram by Cubana Chiefpriest, capturing the moment Senator Akpabio, with a file in hand, engaged Davido in what appeared to be a meaningful conversation.

The clip also showed Cubana Chiefpriest and other attendees listening attentively and later posing for photos with the Unavailable hitmaker and the Senate President.

Known for his occasional forays into political circles, Cubana Chiefpriest accompanied the post with a thoughtful caption that urged followers to surround themselves with people who reflect the future they aspire to.

“Try as much as possible to get close to people who look exactly like your future. Abuja nights with Naija🇳🇬 003. Person wey get OBO too get power,” he wrote.

The phrase “Naija 003” appears to play on Davido’s iconic OBO identity, referencing his influence as Nigeria’s unofficial “third citizen” in pop culture circles, after the president and vice president.

The meeting has sparked online chatter, with many fans curious about the purpose of the visit and what it might signify for the evolving relationship between Nigeria’s entertainment elite and its political class.

Whether it was a courtesy call, a strategic networking move, or something more, one thing is clear: Davido and Cubana Chiefpriest continue to blur the lines between stardom and statecraft.

In a viral video making rounds online, Portable expressed his desire to take on Chief Priest in the boxing ring—not out of personal beef, but as a strategy to make more money and elevate his fame.

Their bond goes beyond industry camaraderie—it’s brotherhood. From public declarations of loyalty to being a part of each other’s biggest life moments—including Chief Priest standing by Davido’s side as a groomsman during his headline-making wedding in 2024—the duo continues to celebrate their unshakeable friendship.

The bromance even extends into music. Recently, Cubana Chief Priest dropped his debut single More Money, a high-energy collaboration featuring Boypee, Hyce, and Brown Joel—executive produced by none other than Davido. It was a powerful stamp of support and yet another moment that showcased their dynamic synergy.

The album features Afrobeats sensations Omah Lay and Victony, alongside Nigerian heavy-hitters OdumoduBlvck and Chike (who features on the track “Fund”). Jamaican artist YG Marley kicks off the international features with “Awuke,” the album’s lead single, while Caribbean stars Shensea and 450 add their unique flair.

Davido’s longtime collaborator Chris Brown returns, joined by three-time Grammy winner Victoria Monét and Latin pop star Becky G. South African hitmaker Musa Keys, who teamed up with Davido on the Grammy-nominated hit “Unavailable,” also cuts.

Adding to the global vibe are French chart-toppers Dadju and Tayc—further proof that 5ive is not just an album but a worldwide celebration of sound, culture, and connection.
