Nigerian content creator, Mr Macaroni, has criticized popular singer Wizkid for his recent remark about award-winning music producer Don Jazzy.
Wizkid sparked a huge frenzy on social media in the early hours of Monday, April 29, when he described Don Jazzy as an ‘influencer’ while responding to a follower.
He made this statement after the follower drew his attention to a tweet rapper Ladipo made about Afrobeat singers, which read, “Nigerian rappers that survived ‘hip hop is dead’ watching Afrobeat artists go through their own”.
See below,
However, Wizkid stated that he would never respond to anyone signed to an influencer.
See below,
This sparked mixed reactions online because Ladipo is signed to Mavin Records label, owned by ace singer and producer Don Jazzy.
This didn’t sit well with many and they slammed Wizkid for calling Don Jazzy an ordinary influencer despite the significance of his work.
However, others asserted that it was not a big deal because Don Jazzy has called himself an infleuncer in the past and even won the Pulse ‘best influencer award’ in 2023.
Amid the controversy, Mr Macaroni also went online to share his two cents about Wizkid’s comment about the Mavin Records boss.
According to him, even though Don Jazzy is arguably the biggest entertainment influencer in Africa, the context in which Wizkid called him an influencer is disrespectful.
He wrote,
“Donjazzy is perhaps the biggest Entertainment Influencer in Africa. And the beautiful thing is that his influence cuts across. From music, to contents, films, brands etc.
However, we would all be hypocrites to say that the context in which he was called an influencer isn’t disrespectful to everything he has done and is still doing for the Nigerian Music Industry.
An absolute legend. He promotes Music Artistes even outside his record label. Gives free advice and visibility to up and coming artists, shows love to everyone irrespective of their status. I am also a beneficiary of his phenomenal influence!
Don Baba J!!!! Your Influence Choke!!!”
Popular Nigerian singer Kizz Daniel has replied to a user who urged him to tread careful because of Nigerian singer Wizkid.
He had asked the ‘Twe Twe’ crooner to be careful with the type of tweets he shared online because Wizkid was shading some set of artists.
Recall that the Grammy Award winner had shared several tweets on X(Twitter) where he shaded Nigerian singers like Don Jazzy, Ladipoe, and Davido.
Kizz Daniel had tweeted “This morning sha…” with a yawning emoji and an internet user responded in the comment section with; “E never touch u… e fit later touch you, thread carefully Popsy dey para.”
Annoyed by the user’s comment, Kizz Daniel responded to him with; “Sho’ oloriburuku ni e ni ?! Sho ya Werey ?! I resemble industry for your eye ?!” causing an uproar online.
Below are some of the comments;
@Remy4yo: Vado I love this response But you should learn to speak respectfully Remember you have only 1 hit song Tread carefully
@ola_bode42: You nice sha, you still Dey ask am question It should go like this Oloriburuku ni e, o ti ya werey

While showing off the edible meal she prepared she revealed it was her first time visiting her boyfriend’s family.
On her arrival, they asked her to prepare some starch meal which she had never made before and had no idea on how to make it.
In an attempt to impress her in-laws, she went ahead to the kitchen to prepare the meal which didn’t out well.
The meal which was supposed to be smooth and fluffy, came out to be watery and contained too many lumps.
Concerned by how the meal which was supposed to whoa her in-laws came out, she turned to social media for help, sharing a video of the food.
She could be heard in the video saying;
“The first day I went to visit my in-laws, they said I should do starch for them, I told them I didn’t know how to do it because I am an Igbo girl and I have not even tasted starch before, I said I should try my luck, now look at it, it’s no longer starch it’s trash. See the lumps, I don’t know what to do now.[sic]”

@the_ishanqueen: Why are you even in the kitchen on your first visit? Please, dump that boyfriend and family.
Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has once again taken to social media to publicly criticize his wife, Omobewaji.
This time, his reaction was prompted by a post she made about self-love and how important it is for people to do what is best for them.
Bewaji had emphasized the importance of prioritizing one’s well-being because they will only be appreciated and valued when they are useful and dumped afterwards.
She wrote,
“This life just do what pleases u, because they will only appreciate you only at that moment when they needed you after that they have forgotten, next thing you go hear if you no do am another person go do am, human forget kindness easily.

He stated that she is nothing without him and called her ungrateful for seemingly not appreciating everything he has done for her.
He also claimed that she has refused to have more children with him because he has multiple kids from other women, asserting that she is only interested in his money and not love.

Viral law graduate, Vera Anyim, released a video begging Nigerians for funds to rent a new place of accommodation as the place she stayed before her fame is no longer secure and safe to return to.
The woman stated she has no time to process her newly found celebrity status and is not prepared for the issues that come with it.
Vera addressed her fans by acknowledging the benevolence she enjoyed from some Nigerians who took her on an all-paid expense trip and gave her a phone costing up to a million and a land.
She then “urges” Nigerians to pay for a new rent as her former place is no longer suitable for a celebrity like her and they should also provide her all that she needs to fund her new lifestyle.
The reaction of Nigerians to this video was electrifying as they questioned her “celebrity status” which according to them was self-acclaimed.
Cropped shot of a happy young bride bonding with her mother while she gets ready for her wedding
A Nigerian man who identifies as Okey Aliu has advised newly married women not to stay in the same house with their husband and mother-in-law.
In the post that he shared on his Facebook page, he revealed that newly married women should kick against that act.
His post read;
“If you will be staying in the same house permanently with your husband and mother-in-law, especially Anambra’s Mother-in-law inlaw after wedding as a lady, please think, rethink and overthink your choice and make sure you are mentally, psychologically, emotionally and physically fit to cope.
I have said these things times without number but many of you don’t use to rate me. You think I just love to rant online or dive into discussions I have no experience on
No matter how much love you think your Mother-in-law has towards you as a lady, the best way to enjoy such peace is to stay far away from her. Some of you young girls thinks it’s the same plate they used in serving you the first day you visited that they will continue to use to serve you.
See, If you and your husband will be living together with his Mother in the same house, make sure your husband is not the type that dances to every tone of his mother. Make sure he doesn’t rate his mother’s opinions over yours always. You will see shege
Then if he now has single sisters who have come of age staying together as well in the same house with their mother and your husband, congratulations to you. Na glorified slave you go be. Shege pro max
If you like don’t read to understand and borrow yourself sense. Come here to tell me how good some mother-in-laws are. Tell me how I shouldn’t talk about Anambra Mothers

She stated that a first-time mother should be allowed to shop for her baby’s items, as it is not a moment that should not be snatched from anyone.
Her tweet read;
“You took list from your wife, went to shop you guys first offspring items with your sister without asking for her consent? You and that your sister are both silly. Robbing a first time mother the experience of shopping for her child & savouring in the moment, radarada oshi.”
The majority however agreed with her, joining her to condemn the man for not informing his wife, while others noted that the issue wasn’t a big deal to them.
Below are some of the comments,
@LadyNXY6: No matter the good intentions he had, doing that without the consent of his wife was very wrong…. And if she refuses to use it now, they’ll tag her as problematic. I see pregnant women joyfully shopping for their babies and they both took that from her
@ps_wears: All I know is I haven’t done shopping yet. That one you bought is extra. We will go back to the market for my own list. And you dare not say you don’t have money.
@Ejaita: Hmmm. I’m currently pregnant with my first and honestly if anyone took this experience away from me like that, I will cry and fuss about it until I get what I want. Some men are really insensitive.
@The_Jemimah: Lol. True, the woman was robbed of that experience, but the husband and sister had no ill intention. It’s a mistake on the man’s part, and I’m sure they can resolve the situation with proper communication.
On the 23rd of April 2024, two brothers tragically lost their lives at a Nigerian policeman’s hand called Saheed SARS who is notoriously known among “Yahoo Boys” in Ibadan.
Iyanda Damilola was an Ibadan corps member who visited the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho, Oyo State, to witness the convocation ceremony of his brother, Femi.
After, both went to a lounge nearby to celebrate. They were there when they heard the noise of people fighting outside where they sat, prompting them to go investigate the source of the noice.
Shortly after, some policemen came and in a bid to clear the crowd that had gathered, started shooting directly at the crowd of onlookers.
Policeman Saheed shot Damilola in the head and Femi sustained fatal bullet wounds which he died from days later.
Students of LAUTECH have demanded a probe into this murder, stating the prolonged police brutality they allegedly suffer.
Saheed has been previously accused of steadily assaulting the students and had in fact bought a white Mercedes Benz off the shady proceedings.
Currently, the case has become a national clamour for justice for the deceased brothers by well-meaning Nigerians. They demand that the SARS policeman be brought to book.
The family of the late Damilola and Femi are devastated by their deaths and have demanded that their son’s death be avenged as the investigation continues.
Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing Sunday declares in her recent pod show with Inside Scoop by Pulse her opinion on Nigeria’s popular pastor, Odumeje widely known as Indabosky Bahose.
She tries to reorient the minds of Nigerians who call him their “favorite fake pastor” by talking of his spiritual abilities like prophesying and healing.
Nkechi confirms Odumeje to be a true man of God having known him on a personal level and witnessing his works.
To her, many ascribe him to be fake because he does not have a good grasp of the English language. She thereby dissuades netizens from thinking such but to embrace his authenticity.
Read the comments of Netizens on the matter,

Immediately she lit the fire and threw it in her eyes cleared. I was only able to recover my International passport. Idk if she regrets it but my life could have changed for good if not for her anger. I’m not saying this to pile on my Ma or anything but it changed the trajectory of my life, she has apologized and still apologizing and I don’t think I love her any less. I just hope I win big with something else cos the suffering that act has put me through can’t be explained.“

Apparently, his brother criticized him for dressing like a crossdresser or homosexual, and questioned where he got the traits from.
This didn’t sit well with the young man, and he explained that tying a scarf as a man doesn’t mean one is possessed, but his stepbrother wasn’t having it at all and chose to school him instead.
Infuriated by his stepbrother’s comments, the man took to Twitter to slam him for having the audacity to speak about his life when he hasn’t made any tangible contribution to it.
He also complained about being tired of being bullied by his siblings and family members with their judgmental remarks and expectations.

In other news, disbelief, denial, acceptance, indifference, and indignation are the emotions that trailed the picture of a man presumably once a woman, spotting a pregnancy bump and delivering the baby.
A black American Facebook user, @Mike uploaded the pictures and captioned them, “My aunties just had the baby & babyshower y’all.”
This post garnered a lot of reactions from Facebook users judging the peculiarity and strangeness of the pictures taken.
No one can explain how a man was the one delivering the baby, and the poster did not offer an explanation or even reveal their names. See the photos here
A Nigerian man, identified as Olubunmi Abodunde, stands accused in a UK court of killing his wife, just months after their relocation from Nigeria to the UK.
The grim incident occurred in 2023 when Abodunde fatally assaulted his wife, Taiwo Abodunde, 41, leaving their three children without a mother.
The UK court recently heard chilling accounts of the incident. Police officers reported hearing repeated sounds of violence emanating from the house as Olubunmi Abodunde savagely attacked his wife.
Despite the disturbing noises, they hesitated to intervene because they were waiting for permission from a higher authority to break into the house.
By the time they gained access 25 minutes later, they found Taiwo Abodunde obviously dead with her skull brutally fractured.
On April 25, 2024, just as his trial for murder was about to commence, Olubunmi Abodunde, 48, abruptly changed his plea to “guilty,” with a possible sentence of life imprisonment.
Three Suffolk police officers are also being investigated for the way they handled the situation. They are under investigation for possible breaches of professional conduct, with two officers facing allegations of gross misconduct.
Before the tragic events unfolded, Olubunmi Abodunde’s jealousy and suspicion had strained his relationship with his wife, leading to accusations of infidelity. He had a record of being investigated by the police for domestic violence incidents.
The series of unfortunate events began on April 27, 2023, when police found Mrs. Abodunde with a split lip at their Newmarket home. Olubunmi Abodunde was arrested and released on bail later that day, with strict instructions to stay away from his wife.
Despite these directives, he returned home the following morning, leading to the tragic incident. Police arrived the house around 9.20am to question Mrs. Abodunde about the abuse episode but unfortunately found her dead.
A subsequent post-mortem examination revealed that she had been strangled until she fell unconscious, then he stamped on her until her ribs were broken. He, then, used their son’s skateboard to inflict further harm and finish her off. The blows were so violent that it destroyed the skateboard.
In court, Abodunde attempted to claim self-defense, alleging previous abuse from his wife. However, his account lacked substantiating evidence, and the severity of the attack suggested otherwise.
Following his arrest, Abodunde was hospitalized due to a purported mental episode. His defense lawyer cited medication as a potential influence on his behavior, though no medical evidence supported this claim.
It was gathered that the couple had immigrated to the UK from Nigeria in 2022. While Taiwo Abodunde worked as a care home assistant, her husband, a civil engineer, struggled to find a job in his field and resorted to taking shifts at Tesco and Wickes.
Speaking after the court hearing, Detective Inspector Dan Connick said,
“This was an awful attack on a woman that has had a lasting impact on the community and, most importantly, on the victim’s family.
“We are pleased that Taiwo’s family will no longer have to go through the pain of a trial.
“Our thoughts remain with Taiwo’s family and friends and hope this result will bring some small comfort to them.”
Before her demise, Taiwo Abodunde worked for Cambridge Manor Care Home, which provides dementia, residential and respite care.
A spokesman for the facility, which is owned by TLC Care, said:
“We are all deeply shaken and upset by the tragic death of Taiwo, who was a much-loved member of our home community.
“Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with her family. Taiwo always cared for those we support with compassion and kindness, and she will be greatly missed by all of us and our residents.”
Aboodunde was remanded in jail and will be sentenced on May 9.
Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has taken to social media to launch a search for a wife as he shares the physical and behavioral qualities he desires in a woman.
In a post shared online, the singer specified that he wants a dark-skinned woman between the ages of 18 to 23, weighing less than 150 pounds, with a voluptuous backside.
He also mentioned that he wants a virgin but he wouldn’t mind a non-virgin. He emphasized that she should have never been to Libya, be physically clean and be a secondary school graduate, at least.
Speed Darlington, who is known for his funny rants online, also listed his own qualities and assets, including six plots of land, an eleven-room mansion, a house in Lagos State, and access to the United States whenever he wants.
He concluded by encouraging interested women who meet the criteria to send three colored photos of themselves to a provided phone number.
He recalled how he reportedly paid her 2,800 naira as transportation fare to come to his place, only for her to refuse.
Speed Darlington posted a picture of the woman, her full name, Blessing Victoria Nwachuckwu, and other information online while dragging her.
He said that their arrangement required her to visit him at his house on the designated day in order to have a sexual encounter with him, but she hasn’t shown up after 24 hours.
Self-proclaimed life coach Solomon Buchi has tackled dancer Korra Obidi’s ex-husband, Justin Dean, for lamenting about their four-year-old daughter twerking at him.
This comes after Justin took to social media to express his frustration about his daughter’s recent behavior, which he found both appalling and disturbing.
He tweeted:
“My 4-year-old is twerking at me and thinks it’s cute. WTF. How is this women supporting women? Protect the innocent for f^cks sakes.”
In response to the post, Solomon questioned why Justin was complaining about his daughter’s actions when he knowingly married a woman who twerks online.
Solomon asserted that one cannot marry someone with a questionable lifestyle and expect to raise a decent daughter.
He wrote,
“Why did you marry a woman who twerks 24/7? Sometimes, you men marry just to explore and be adventurous; you don’t consider that your wife will also be the mother of your kids. Now, your eyes have cleared. God help you.
You wanna marry a baddie, but you don’t want a baddie daughter?
My brother, baddie begets baddie.
When choosing a wife, remember that you’re also choosing the mother of your children, and if you can’t handle the reality of having daughters like your wife, she’s the wrong one.
Baddie can only beget baddie.”

Recall that his vision was posted earlier on this blog where he pleaded with Nigerians and others who care to listen to the prophecy allegedly given to him by God.
