Wizkid And Baby Mama Drama
One of the biggest stories in Nigerian media is the story of Oluwanishola Ogudu, the mother of Wizkid‘s first son’s experience as a co-parent with the singer.
media was awash and agog with chats between Wizkid and his first baby mama, Shola. The chats which dated as far back as 2015 (3year ago) saw Shola literally begging Wizkid to see his kid.
Lots of people have come out to openly castigate Wizkid, labeling him a deadbeat father for not always not showing up for his son.
But one thing we have all failed to really realize is that reading critically through those chats you would realize that Shola had succeeded in painting Wizkid the villain while she becomes the hero which is not totally true on many fronts.
Police Arrest ‘Small Doctor’ For ‘Unlawful Possession Of Firearms’
The Lagos State Police Command has arrested Adekunle Temitope, popularly known as Small Doctor, for unlawful possession of firearms and for allegedly threatening to shoot a police officer.
Edgal Imohimi, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, revealed this to the press on Monday while parading the musician along with three other persons.
Small Doctor was arrested on allegations that he threatened a Police officer who was on traffic duty along Oshodi, Lagos.
Falz vs. Muric
Falz’s This Is Nigeria was an excellent allegory, depicting the sham of a society we live in, with the fallible tendencies we abhor but condone and it was a creative home run.
Sadly, it’s both the age of pointless outrage and offense and The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) duly came up trumps in due time.
They claimed that Falz generalized his perception of Muslims and portrayed Muslim girls in a bad light in the video for the aforesaid song.
Being a severely tribalistic country, with religious divides, constantly competing for attention, it quickly became a religious issue as MURIC wanted the video taken down.
Blac Chyna, Burna Boy, and bleaching products
Nigerian artist, Burna Boy, has sounded a warning to American model and cosmetic expert, Blac Chyna who is expected to be in Nigeria on Sunday, November 25th.
The American coming on the invitation by popular Nigerian US-based cosmetic entrepreneur, Dencia, is scheduled to attend the launch of a Whitenicious Body Cream Store in Lagos.
Whitenicous is a body lotion that apparently lightens the skin of its users and Burna Boy in a series of posts shared on his IG stories has asked Blac Chyna not to bring her ‘Poison’ to his home country Nigeria.
The singer also warned that anyone who attends the event or perhaps patronizes the product might as well commit suicide.
The singer, however, said that the model is welcomed to party and shake her booty but is not welcomed to promote the product before going on to advise Nigerian ladies that their skin color is beautiful.
