Nigerian comic actor, John Okafor better known as “Mr Ibu” was all “mushy mushy” as he held onto a very light-skinned woman in a group picture with friends.
The funny Nigerian actor Mr. Ibu shares a cute photo in company of Rachael Okonkwo and other actors – the hair cut and handsomeness is not hidden.
Mr Ibu is a veteran actor and comedian with peculiar facial expressions that most persons will think he is ugly – Ibu is considered to be one of Nigeria’s most talented comic characters.
His humorous acting is often characterised by stupidity, hilarity, imbecility and a sharp disconnection from reality.
According to the Russia media, Sergei Mavrodi whose MMM pyramid scheme deprived millions of Russians of their savings in the 1990s, has died of a heart attack.
Reports said the 62-year-old was rushed to the hospital late on March 25 with pain in his chest and died several hours later.
Mavrodi’s MMM financial pyramid was a typical Ponzi scheme in which earlier investors receive their profits from subsequent investors. Mavrodi promised returns of 20 percent to 75 percent a month, as well as lotteries and bonuses for investors.
As soon as the number of new clients stopped growing, the pyramid collapsed, causing huge financial losses for at least 10 million people, in some cases leaving them destitute.
In 1994, Mavrodi was elected as a lawmaker, a decision he later said was to ensure he received immunity from prosecution. In 1996, he lost his parliamentary mandate.
In 2007, a Moscow court found him guilty of financial fraud and sentenced him to 4 1/2 years in a penal colony.
In 2011, Mavrodi launched another pyramid scheme called MMM-2011, calling on investors to purchase so-called Mavro currency units in a bid to get rid of the “unfair” financial system. Some 15 months later, Mavrodi halted the project.
From 2011-16, Mavrodi launched Ponzi schemes under the MMM brand in India, China, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria.
In many of those countries, Mavrodi’s operations were subsequently shut down or suspended.

Following the report of Second Runner-up of the Big Brother Naija 2017 Reality TV show, TBoss’s dad from Benin, getting married recently, trolls had some nasty things to say and his response to them, has us utterly shocked!
A troll had while commenting on one of his wedding photos, said he looked like “a roasted goat” and replying to this troll, he made a statement, more or less, a curse on the people that’ll marry any of his children he had with his Romanian wife – this includes TBoss of course.
Engr. Vincent Idowu tied the knot to a new wife in a casual ceremony that went down in Edo State recently – according to multiple reports, Mr. Idowu and TBoss’ Romanian mom are separated.
After seeing the reactions of Nigerians on his recent development, he took to Instagram to share,
Ordinarily, I really wouldn’t like to make any comment here knowing how petty and unreasonable most Nigerians are. I am neither a politician, a business mogul nor money ritualist.
I am just a humble, comfortable old man. There was never a time I bragged of my wealth. And I have been a devoted and honest civil servant all my life. S
So, are Nigerians celebrating wealth or honesty? I am proud that I served my country faithfully and with integrity. I never took one kobo bribe as a Civil Servant and as a lecturer I never took one Kobo for blocking.
Those Nigerians jeering at my simplicity should cover their heads with shame. TBoss and her siblings have their lives and certainly without me. I never asked TBoss for one Kobo and I have never seen Wendy for over 13years though she visits Nigeria regularly in the past 10yrs from Romania.
The last time I saw Tokunbor(TBoss) was in August 2016. Their mother left me on good grounds in 2006. Even God found out that it was not proper for man ( Adam) to live alone so He created Eve to be Adam’s companion.
So, what’s wrong in having a devoted and understanding companion as wife even at my old age?
In his response to a troll who said he looks like a “roasted goat”, he wrote:
When destiny smiles on someone, he forgets that there is life elsewhere. If I look like a roasted goat on my wedding day, that’s cool but that writer will soon become a resident of a subcity where people with severed limbs, broken bones, amputations, stinking blind and lame reside. THIS IS A PROMISE.
I live a humble, private life and did not intimate TBoss or any of her siblings of my plan to remarry in accordance with my tradition/custom. Furthermore, I did not make public or post anything about my marriage.
I am starting a new beginning and clearing the slate of all the wrong decisions I amde in my life. I just want to forget Tokunbor (TBoss) and her siblings and start life afresh for all its worth.
If and wherever Tboss and any of her siblings gets married, it shall be without my blessings and woe unto the man or the woman who marries any of them.
So shall it be by the power vested on me by God Almighty
Nollywood actress Tayo Odueke popularly known as Sikirat Sindodo, talks about her career, the misconception about Yoruba actors and other sundry issues.
Read the Interview below:
The movie that led to my breakthrough is Sikirat Sindodo.
The name, Sikirat Sindodo, has stuck with me ever since and it is always in the news for the bad reasons.
People see me as a very wayward girl because of the role I played in the movie.
Meanwhile, I am a very calm person. I don’t go out when it is not necessary and I mind my business.
However, I don’t regret playing that particular movie because I was just doing my job.
Misconceptions
People often think that Yoruba actors cannot speak English but that’s not true.
Most of the people coming into the industry now are graduates. Even the ones that have been there before, who were not graduates, are going back to school.
One problem that we have is that the pay in the industry is very poor and that is why I don’t appear in a lot of movies. The only way we make money is when we produce our movies.
Fame
Fame has opened a lot of doors for me. There are some places where some of my friends, who are not popular, cannot go but once I get there, they allow me in because they recognise my face.
Some of the disadvantages are that when one goes to parties or run some chores, street urchins would often harass you.
Break
I took a break sometime ago when I was sick. I had problems with my liver. However, That was a long time ago and I am okay now.
Lessons
I have learnt to always be patient. It also pays to be careful and have a good manner of approach.
Challenges
One of the biggest challenges we have in Nollywood is the issue of piracy.
Nowadays, the Internet has taken over completely, compared to when I got into the industry.
These days, people only watch cable TV, Youtube and other platforms. The number of people who watch terrestrial TV has greatly reduced.
In a way, this has also killed the industry because people no longer buy DVDs and the marketers are complaining bitterly.
We need government to support us so that we can do cinema movies. That way, filmmakers would make money and the audience would also enjoy.
Daughter
My daughter recently turned 20. She is my best friend and I don’t like talking about her in interviews. She hasn’t shown any interest in acting.
MC Oluomo
I believe that’s an old story. He has dated plenty of actresses after me; I would rather not talk about him.
Highlights
My career is still on; so, I don’t think I have gotten the highlight yet.
Relationship
My man must be ready-made. I also like my man to be very prayerful, loving and caring. I am a very jealous person; I like my man to myself. I don’t like sharing. I can marry an entertainer because we are in the same industry. Right now, I’m ‘somehow’ in a relationship.
Relaxation
Whenever I want to unwind, I travel out of the country. Actually, I am a very boring person. I don’t go to clubs the way my friends do and I rarely hang out with people. Even when I travel, I usually stay in the hotel throughout except when I go out to shop. I have fun by shopping.
Fashion
Back in the day, I always wanted to go all out; I usually went for very expensive items.
I still do that though but now, I invest money in other things. I still go for expensive items but I’m moderate.
My favourite fashion items are bags and wristwatches…

“Funny part is we reconciled like the next day he saw the tattoo and we added 2 more days of fight and finally reconciled he lived with it but I’m stuck with a tattoo that people ask me the meaning or what the hell it is and I don’t even know.
“I’m always looking for ways to cover it cos I’m too old to be carrying a meaningless winking cartoon character ��� smh! moral of this story ;
Big Brother had what seems to be like a townhall meeting with the housemates yesterday.
The reality show has taken a new turn with the new twist Biggie introduced.
At the meeting, Biggie offered an undisclosed amount of money to any housemate who wished to leave the house at the moment.
He said, “For those of you who are missing your loved ones. Maybe, your family members or evicted housemates, here is the opportunity to meet them again.
“Take the white envelop with an undisclosed amount and leave the house immediately. You have one minute to decide.”
However, after the one minute elapsed, no housemate picked up the money.
However, as a reward, Biggie announced that all strikes had been removed
According to him, all housemates would play the game afresh.
Youngest Big Brother Housemate, Chinonso Nina has gotten a massive billboard at IMSU Junction Owerri urging supporters to keep voting for her.
The 21 year old is actually a student of Imo State University, Owerri and so far so good, she’s had her major support from there…
See her billboard ad below:
Following their sneaky entrance back into the Big Brother house in the wee hours of this morning, housemate, Nina was super close to finding out first that they’d arrived but she missed it.
Nina, was really close to finding out first that housemates had returned.
She went up to the luxury suite and it seemed as though she was looking for something by the bed, she kept on rummaging around the bed and even touched one of the returnees but it didn’t occur to her.

Meanwhile, Former Big Brother Naija 2017 housemate and Singer Jon Ogah has revealed why he sees BBNaija 2018 housemate, Nina as the winner of N45m.
Ogah in a post on his Twitter page said Nina’s ways of handling situations in the house had distinguished her.
He applauded her for maintaining calmness in the house despite gossip and provocations from housemates.
This is following her refusal to insult and exchange words with Cee-c during a heated argument on Monday night.
Recall that Cee-c called Nina all sorts of names on Monday night after she accused her of being a cheat over sharing of food.
Ogah defending Nina tweeted “I haven’t really spoken about Nina proper since #BBNaija began.
I realized that she has a very calm way of handling situations.
“She has a mind of her own, so even when people gossip others, she is distinguished.
Everyone has had mixed reactions to the return of housemates, Khloe and Anto, back into the Big Brother house earlier this morning.
Some were expecting a sort of dramatic entrance, which apparently they didn’t get, so they took to Twitter to air their displeasure.

Nigerians apparently, expected a dramatic entrance, but then, the housemates just sneaked into the house, went into the luxury suite, and slept on the bed…

Evicted Big Brother Naija housemate, Ifu Ennada took to her Instagram page to share yet another touching story from her past.
She talked about how her 4-year-old brother died right in front of her because they couldn’t afford healthcare and how her family once relocated to the village because of unpaid rent.
Read her story below.
My name is Iheme Faith Uloma Adanne, popularly known as Ifu Ennada – The Ifu Ennada.
“As a child I always had massive dreams, but the challenges I experienced “so many times” were overwhelming that I contemplated suicide several times and lost myself along the way…
“I remember when I was 9yrs old, my whole family moved to the village, while my dad stayed back in Lagos to hustle…
“Our rent had been long overdue and the landlord could only but kick us out.
“It was a terrible time for me, but what was more terrible was helplessly watching my 4yrs old younger brother die in front of me – in my mother’s arms, my mother who would have given her life in exchange for his.
“We were so poor, that even there in the village we couldn’t afford average healthcare… Instagram would be unable to take record of the number of times I was abused in a number of ways…
“My life’s journey has been one tough but inspiring one. For each time I was down, God always came through, in form of His Word, but most importantly in the shape of people – good people who remind me that humanity is BeautIFU! and that the world isn’t evil.
“These good people include all of you reading this, all of you who would never give up on me. All you wonderful people who care about me in ways I can’t imagine.
“Coming out of the Big Brother House, I didn’t know such massive love was awaiting me and now as I am set for what’s coming, I want you all to know that I am who I am because of God and you.
“I don’t take you for granted and my love for you will always be never ending.

Nollywood actor and model, Mimi Orjiekwe, was in the news last year for the wrong reason. She walked out of a marriage fans thought she was enjoying despite carrying the man’s baby. But the dame of the tube said she’d moved on from what ought not to set her back. In this interview with LANRE ODUKOYA, she speaks motherhood, passion and legacy. Excerpts…
What was life like while growing up?
While growing up, I cherished friendship and I was part of every social activity in school. I was not the quiet type. Till now, I love life and I love expressing myself.
How about your education, where did you school?
After my primary and secondary education, I went to Caritas University in Enugu where I studied business administration. I have always been a business person as well. I love money and I like to do things that bring in money. At a very young age, I bought a car for myself. I started acting when I became a beauty queen. But ordinarily, I would have loved to be a lawyer but it didn’t happen.
You’re a single parent at the moment, how do you find motherhood?
Being a mother is the best gift a woman could ever get from God. It makes you discover yourself and it makes you think of another person. Since you really love your baby, you would want to protect him or her. Last year was beautiful for me because I had my baby girl. It was like a new beginning in my life; I became a mum and everything changed. I had to stop being the Mimi who loved travelling in order to take care of my baby. When my baby turned out to be a girl, I never worried. I just wished for a beautiful child. My daughter is like a little version of me.
What are you doing to keep fit and remain radiant?
Right now, I am struggling to trim down. I put on weight when I had my baby because I had to breastfeed her for a long time, but I was slim when I was pregnant. I work out every morning and I am dieting. Though I knew I would get fat and my tummy would get big, the joy of being a mother supersedes all that. You can always fix your body and it is worth sacrificing your body to have a child.
You’ve obviously had a break from the movie set, how do you plan to return?
I was on set in December. The producer told me he knew I had a baby but he didn’t mind if I could make myself available. I didn’t think I would able to do it, but I went there with my baby and we did it.
What are the things that fascinate you about life?
I love life, I love to be everywhere. I don’t like being in the office from morning till night. I don’t like to read too much, but it doesn’t mean I am not intelligent. I have always been into modelling or pageant. After winning Miss Africa Beauty Pageant in 2009, I met a director who introduced me to Nollywood and I found acting interesting. I didn’t go through the stress of looking for roles. None of my family members is in Nollywood, but I was told my grandmother was involved in drama. She was part of the drama group in the church and village square. I also have a cousin who sings. My father is not a creative person; he is a doctor while my mother is businesswoman.
Did you get express approval from your parents to become an actor?
When I wanted to venture into acting, I didn’t have much trouble convincing my father because I am the only daughter and his favourite. My father also knew that anything I wanted, I would get it. It was not the case of me forfeiting my education for acting; he wouldn’t have supported that. He became proud of me when people starting telling him that they saw me on screen acting.
You also do another business aside acting, what does that entail?
I just unveiled my makeup line. I want to contribute to the society by providing quality services. It is a cosmetics store, but we are focusing on a makeup line for women right now. I hope with time we can serve men too. In anything I do, I want to give my best. I intend to grow my business to the level of MAC Cosmetics and I know it is possible. When my retail store is ready and we have a grand opening, I will like to shoot one or two movies also. I have many scripts on my table.
How well would you say you’d grown in the industry?
I still have a lot to do as an actor and a woman, but I am enjoying my life. But if I had known better, I would have probably joined the oil and gas sector. I love acting, but there is no money there as much as the oil sector. I have a lot of expenses; I spend a lot, I have a baby, I do charity, I like to look good and I have a family to support too. For you to be able to do all these, you need to make more money.
Is there any lesson to take home from your failed marriage?
My failed marriage was just a lesson and I don’t regret the union. My baby was a product of the marriage and I love her a lot. I also believe that God made me experience it for me to be in a better place. I am not cordial with my ex-husband (Charles Billion); when I move on, I move on, but the baby keeps us together from a distance. I am not bitter with men even after the experience; I am happy. I gave my marriage my best; I cannot say I was always right, but I am a superwoman and I try my best to make everyone around me happy. I have no regrets because if you have good intentions, you will always be fine. We dated for three years before getting married in 2015; so, I didn’t rush into it.
So you might give marriage a second shot?
Yes, I plan to marry again. My marriage is my private life and I don’t owe anyone an explanation. I don’t think there is any problem in getting married to an entertainer; it is about marrying the right person. I was probably in love with him then; so, when he asked me to marry him, I thought I would be happy with him. I guess I didn’t do my research very well. Right now, if I want to get married, I have to pay attention to every little detail. I will not just fall in love with any man for his wealth or looks.
What do you consider the most frustrating matter in your life?
Fame is not a curse for me, but it has exposed me to many things I don’t want in my life. It makes people criticise you and it makes people think they know everything about you. When you see people talking about you, you will be surprised because you don’t even know those things about yourself. But I don’t blame the public; it is the life I have chosen. I am thankful to God as well as acting has opened many doors for me and made me who I am today.
What else inspires you?
My mother just left my house last week; I call her a hustler. I learnt how to be strong from her. Till now, I still learn a lot from her and she has always been there for me.
Do you think anyone is competing with you in any area of life?
I am not competing with anyone; I am just myself. If you are successful today, I wish you the best but life is not all about competition. I just do things I love to do and it has helped me.
What’s your style expression?
I think people are in a better position to describe my style. At times, I am obsessed with myself and I like to follow trends and look good every day. Sometimes too, I don’t have much time and I look very simple. I think my fashion has a lot to do with my mood, but my favourite colour is grey. I love my wristwatches; I don’t use earrings all the time. You can see that I am not even wearing one right now.
How do you relax?
I stay indoors and I like to play with the phone in a cold room. Once my baby is disturbing and I want to relax, I just run to the other room. I relax more whenever I am not in the country.
What legacy do you live for?
I want to be successful and I want to be able to help people in my society. Folorunsho Alakija is my role model. I like her a lot because she is a strong woman and I see myself becoming like her someday.
Nigerians are not happy with the Fact that Anto is back to the Big Brother Naija House, just barely a week after her eviction from the show.
Apparently, many are of the opinion that since she was voted out, there’s no way, those who voted her out, will same way vote her back in.
Here are some reactions:
Ahudiya Esther Orji: “Fake fake fake! She never came to Nigeria cos big brother was Savin cost! So how come they never showed us when she came to Nigeria??”
Rose Mark: “People voted for Anto because she don’t have fans so she will not b a threat to other housemate. Anyway congrats grandma Americanian.”
Mathew Owie: “Asin how come ,anto was in south Africa ,how come she never did the normal interview others evited house mate did ,this BBN is fraud organise by Edo state Yahoo Yahoo associations”
Ukeme Umoren: “So who voted her back in? I mean same pple voted her out last week! Big brother continue playing yourself”
Sylvzenia Agbo: Was tinkin it will b ifu and khloe. Did dis anto com home at all? How com we didn’t hear of her arrival at Lagos ? No interview? No moments wit payport? Samvita And others ?
Emeka Daniel Nnuta: its fraud because Anto never come back just like other evicted housemates that land to Nigeria immediately after their eviction but nobody saw Anto in Nigeria.
Nwokoro Steve: Biggy has succeeded in his ploy of bringing khloe back to the house after all the pressure he suffered… But believe me team Nina is an army that will show biggie a lesson… Teamnina still here.
Yemi Akinola: “Beggie stop that shit. Anto never travelled back to Nigeria… U had no money to pay her flight ticket…We ain’t fool we know what u are doing.”
Uju Agatha: “Lol it is just funny. U enter d house and stay for 2weeks just to be evicted again. If ur fans aren’t much to sustain u at the first time, don’t ridicule urself to go back”
Wendy Onyekwuluje: I think there is some tricks to this Anto’s return.
(1) khloe was spotted in south Africa at the airport but Anto wasn’t spotted
(2) Anto was the only house mate that came back without reaching Lagos and no interview, we didn’t even see her with fans taking pictures
(3) when Ebuka asked her if she was surprise coming back to the house, she said no. That means they no what they are doing. Am happy for her sha
Uchi Ezeugwa: Dis bbnaija is soooooooo full of shit. Anto Grandma Neva left, besides who wantshee back, wen dy votes her in last Sunday. Fake game. I kno evrytin here is scripted. Pple stop wasting ur time voting. Cos deep down, ur votes don’t count. PerioD.
@Tweetoracle: I don’t think Anto actually left South Africa after last week she was evicted. I mean we never saw her clips of being received in Naija. This Conspiracy tho…. wont just go away
#BBNaija #BBNajia
Velie: Nonsense Biggie now must not sleep bcz of Anto and Khloe???You played us too much …you’ve gone too far now…you want to take away our beauty sleep #Bbnaija
@marcel_marizu: How come Anto with the least votes now better than all other evicted housemates. This is fraud.
@RFibbs: Guys lets talk about Anto’s hair..the one she wore when she talkd about being excited to be back is different from the one she had on stage..like it was pre recorded even before she was evicted. She had last week’s hair on stage tonight. Something is WRONG #BBNAIJA
@DaddyHarry5: The logic is if any,Khloe or Anto win the game,there should not be any claims of cheating or unfair play from viewers,sponsors or Housemates coz those in the house had a fair chance at the grand prize of 45M & no one stepped forward to claim it #BBNaija
Anto and Khloe will be returned into the house very early tomorrow morning, while the housemates are asleep, at around 3 AM.
No eviction was made during tonight’s eviction show.. Biggie played a “RESET” game with the housemates, where he wiped their slates clean!
Fans have said controversial housemate, Cee-C seems to have amnesia after she said she doesn’t remember saying she’s not on the same level with any of the housemates.
During the live show ealierr tonight, while host, Ebuka was addressing the housemates, he specifically asked Cee-C what she meant when she says she’s not on the same level with any of the housemates.
The controversial housemate is known to always engage in heated brawls with fellow housemates most times and in course of this, she’d, while exchanging aggressive words with who she’s engaged in a war with, say she’s not on the same level with the housemate.
Since her statement was recurrent, Ebuka just had to ask what she meant by this and this was where the lovely was lost for words – she finally found something to say and when she did, she said ‘she doesn’t remember’ and maybe she did say so, she might have said it out of anger so she can’t remember.
To refresh your memory, here’s a clip of Cee-C making her controversial statement, this time with Alex…
Cee-C who has since the beginning of the show, been rocking only one hairstyle finally changed it and now has a totally different look with braids, though she still has that fierce face of a warrior.
Reinstated housemate, Khloe earlier tonight, declared her intention of setting Cee-C straight when she returns to the house and virtually everyone can’t wait for the reunion of the two drama queens…
The Presidency on Saturday said it would not stop looking back and referring to “colossal atrocities in the management and disbursement of public funds” experienced under the past administration.
It said it was a mere wishful thinking to believe that Nigerians will forget such atrocities in a hurry.
The Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande made this known in a statement. .
Akande said Nigerians have not forgotten the “severe damage caused the economy by the rampant abuse of public trust and grand larceny” that he claimed characterised the past administration. .
He said, “Those who are asking our people to simply forget the blatant violation of public trust and the pillaging of the nation’s commonwealth witnessed in the past are saying wittingly or otherwise that we should forget where the shoe actually pinched and pretend as if the social raping of the nation never occurred.
How can we do that? We have a situation where a former First Lady came out openly to claim over $171m found in her accounts and you think Nigerians will simply overlook that.
You have a situation where hundreds of billions have been recovered including the discovery of $43m cash in an apartment in Ikoyi, and you think Nigerians will simply forget that?”
Akande said the many pending corruption cases arising from the conduct of the past administration would benefit with the establishment of special courts for the speedy trial of corruption and other criminal cases.
He added that the Presidency is beefing up the prosecution of such cases by planning to bring a number of senior lawyers with high integrity ratings to play active roles and lead the prosecution of some of the cases. .
“We have a number of lawyers, senior lawyers, people with solid reputations who have volunteered to assist in prosecuting the cases and soon the prosecuting agencies will be assigning specific cases to them,” he said.
In an innocent Instagram comment by stunning actress, Juliet Ibrahim as she gushed over newly wedded couple, Fatima Dangote and Jamil Abubakar following their still talked about wedding ceremony, a follower has attacked her for her action.
Commenting under a lovely photo of the new couple, Juliet wrote, Awww so cute !! Jamil n wifey with a red heart emoji that followed – her comment didn’t go well with a user who took it upon herself to make sure she slammed the actress.
This IG user ruthlessly replied the actress by saying,
“b*tch aren’t you his ex or something?….just shut up with your fake s$$ love and leave him alone!…he’s now married”
Wow, are we sure this aunty is not angry about something else and she’s transferring aggression to the actress? Yeah well…
At the moment, the friendly relationship between emerging singer, Omoniyi Temidayo, aka Zlatan Ibile, and Internet sensation, Segun Wire, has hit the rocks.
When Zlatan fell in love with Segun’s music talent, he promised to help him. But Zlatan later alleged that the little boy’s family members were using him to extort money from people and he challenged them. Zlatan was then molested and attacked by hoodlums who were allegedly related to Segun’s family.
While speaking with Sunday Scoop, Zlatan said he withdrew his decision to help Segun when his image was getting tarnished. He said, “I don’t have much to say about the issue again because I have done what I needed to do. I have withdrawn my support. I just wanted to help him, but my image was tarnished. I withdrew because I just felt it is high time I lived my own life. I am still a young boy; I have younger ones and parents too that need help. I have yet to get to where I want to be; so, I just want to focus on myself for now.”
The graduate of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic added, “If you help someone and you got beaten for it, why won’t you regret it? Before withdrawing my support for Segun, I thought about it thoroughly and I am not happy I took such a decision. Once you mean well and people don’t appreciate it, it becomes hard for you to help others. But I don’t think I will stop helping people generally. I will only be more careful when helping others because I have learnt my lessons.”
Ibile also cleared the air on his relationship with Davido. According to him, he is not signed to Davido’s record company at the moment unlike what most people think. The 23-year-old rapper said, “I met Davido when I dropped my latest song, My Body, featuring Olamide. One day, I saw Davido dancing to my song on stage. It went viral and I had more than one million views on Instagram. That had never happened to me before. I sent Davido a message, thanking him for the support and we got talking from there.
“Though I am not signed to Davido’s record company, he has shown me great love. We have done a song together, titled Osale, which will be released soon. I am signed to Coded Music.”
Two nights ago, a video of Khloe at an Airport went viral… and then, K-Brule took a swipe at the organizers of the show.
