BBNaija level-up winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, better known as Phyna, has stated why she sided with Ilebaye against Adekunle in the latest Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ season.
Recall that Ilebaye and Adekunle, who are both finalists in the All Star edition, took part in the Level Up season that Phyna won the year before.
Phyna claimed she decided against running a campaign for him, as she did for Ilebaye, because they are not very close, and he was in a relationship with Venita, whom she dislikes.
Venita and Adekunle were dating before Venita was eliminated from the show on Sunday, and they both admitted to this fact during the show’s host, Ebuka.
The Edo-born actress said in a widely shared video that she was unable to conceal her sentiments and that she was unable to stand by him since he was shipping with Venita.
Phyna continued by saying that she was more devoted to the Level Up season, of which Ilebaye was a member, than to the participant.
Popular Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu has claimed to have received a N3 million offer to accuse the bereaved wife of the late singer Mohbad, Omowunmi, of being responsible for his death.
He made this revelation in a video, where he described being approached to spread a rumor that the woman had a hand in her husband’s death. His task was to convince the woman to conduct a DNA test on Mohbad’s child.
Maduagwu claims that someone approached him and offered him N3 million in exchange for spreading the rumor that Mohbad’s wife was responsible for the singer’s passing and engaged in paternity fraud.
However, the actor stated that he promptly declined the tempting offer because he neither had a personal connection with the late singer nor had the authority to make such demands or accusations.
He also mentioned that the same individual who intended to give him 3 million naira might have enlisted other social media influencers to disseminate the false information that Mohbad’s wife was a prime suspect and required a DNA test.

He added that instead of receiving praise, soldiers are often disregarded and disrespected by civilians.

Award-winning Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed that he is not pursuing a music career because of money.
In a recent interview with the popular YouTuber Korty EO, the ‘Calm Down’ crooner stated that he is not making music solely for the purpose of making money. He added that even if he were not a musician, he would still be hustling and finding ways to earn a living.
The 21-year-old singer also mentioned that when he started creating freestyle videos and sharing them online, which eventually led to his discovery by his record label Mavin Records, he wasn’t motivated by money because he was already financially secure.
His words,
“If music didn’t work, I will still be pushing that p in the corner while hustling, you understand.
“Even at that point where I was doing freestyles, I didn’t really need to do a freestyle because I needed money. I had money. I was actually good.”
The late afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and American rapper Kanye West were cited by Rema as influences.
Rema, in an interview with Hip TV, also mentioned that he draws inspiration from Nigerian Afrobeats Grammy winners Wizkid and Burna Boy.
The 23-year-old award-winning musician claims that Kanye West’s creativity, Wizkid’s lifestyle, and Burna Boy’s life story have influenced him.
He said;
“I’m inspired by Burna [Boy] because of his story. Fela [Kuti] inspires me. Kanye West [inspires me] because of how far he goes in terms of his creativity, production. I really like Wiz [kid] because of how he carries himself.”
Nigerian singer Naira Marley has stated that he will return to Nigeria for the ongoing investigation into the death of his former signee, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, if the police can guarantee his safety.
The Marlian Music boss made this statement during a recent interview with Reno Omokri, who inquired whether he is willing to come back to Nigeria.
He said,
“100% if they can guarantee my safety. There are a lot of angry men that don’t want me there. They know the truth but they have been poisoned by the media. If they can guarantee my safety, I will be there”.
Speaking on the videos of Mohbad being assaulted and claims that he had a hand in the attacks, Naira Marley said,
“There is no truth whatsoever. Even if you look at his police statement, he never mentioned Naira Marley involved. I do not have any issue whatsoever with him. I have never instructed anybody to touch him. I have never touched him. You will never see a video of me touching him. I have never sent anybody to touch him. That is just lies.”
He further stated that Mohbad was very paranoid and that he paid for the late singer to undergo brain scans, but Mohbad refused to go through with the process, stating that his parents understood his condition better and will treat him.
“I did pay for a lot of scans and he that that is what he wanted to do, get scanned and I paid for a lot of them. Like I said he is a little bit paranoid. I was trying to take it easy, trying to find out what’s wrong because remember, he had already made a video to sif anything happened to him, it’s Naira Marley. So I was just trying to find the best help for him. He did scan. I also spoke about if he can travel out to check properly. Then he said it is his mum and dad that will understand what was wrong and then his mum and dad said they wanted to take him for treatment, they want to take him to go look after him,” he said.
The controversial singer also denied claims that ailing disc jockey, DJ Splash, was signed to his label.
“DJ Splash was never signed to Marlian music. He is a DJ. He has never DJ’d with me on a show. They just gave him a title because I have a picture with him. When whatever happened to him happened to him, he was not at my house.”
The American-born player who gained recognition during the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia, made this revelation during a recent virtual interview with Pulse in response to a question about who she is crushing on in the Super Eagles team.

Popular singer, Naira Marley has stated that after his former signee Mohbad made a video claiming he was after his life, he apologized to him.
Recall that Mohbad had declared that Naira Marley’s Marlian group should be held responsible for his death under any circumstances.
Following his untimely death on September 12, the head of the Marlian Record was accused of being involved in his passing.
In reaction to this, Naira Marley said in an interview with Reno Omokri that he saw the young musician after he shot the video and had proof of his repentance to him.
He added that he was not in the country at the time of Mohbad’s death and it was impossible for him to be responsible for his death.
He said,
“Till today I don’t understand. I tried to get him help when he went out like that. I wasn’t even in the country when he made that video.
I was out of the country. I’m sure it was during the NDLEA [arrest that he made the video]. Looking at the video again, I was getting information from everybody that was there because like I said, I wasn’t in the country.
I kind of sent someone to the NDLEA before I got back. When I got back the next day, they said Mohbad was not there. They said Mohbad wasn’t among the people arrested.
I didn’t bail Mohbad out anyway. It’s only Zino. So it was that paranoia…Zino was still in the NDLEA when he [Mohbad] made that video. I wasn’t around.
I was outside Nigeria when he made that video saying if he dies they should hold Naira Marley and the Malians. So when I got back I asked him. When I got back, I met him.
I spoke to trying to find out what was wrong but he said he didn’t understand and apologized. Yes. He apologized. I have a video on that.”
Popular Nollywood actressFunke Akindele and her ex-husband, JJC Skillz, were recently spotted dancing together at an event, and this has gotten people talking online.

JJC Skillz had announced their separation last year, which came as a surprise to many. He also confirmed speculations that he had been asked to leave their matrimonial home by his wife, Funke Akindele.
A few months after their split, there were rumors that JJC Skillz had secretly married another woman in Kano, however these rumors were never officially confirmed.

Meanwhile, it remains unclear whether the couple have officially filed for divorce or are simply separated.
One of the men who was in the car when the death of popular Nigerian singer, Mohbad, was announced has denied claims that he has fled the country.
Investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo, who shared her ‘findings’ from her ‘private investigation’ into Mohbad’s death, had alleged that the man has fled to Dubai to evade police investigation.
“Why was Sanusi the boy with dreads immediately flown to Dubai after Mohbad was allegedly murdered? He’s described as a Dubai based crypto yahoo boy. Sanusi was also spotted in the car with Mohbad’s body, the car dealership and near Iyabo Ojo signing the condolence register.” Read here
The young man has now come forward to refute the accusation of leaving the country. He further disclosed that he, along with Mohbad’s brother and wife, were interrogated by the police and gave their statements at the Lagos State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department on September 20th.

There was also a video of Mohbad stating that Naira Marley should be held responsible if anything happened to him.
These events triggered outrage on social media, with many pointing fingers at Naira Marley and suggesting he was involved in Mohbad’s death. However, Naira Marley clarified that he was out of the country when Mohbad passed away.
He subsequently released a video featuring his phone conversation with the 27-year-old singer, during which Mohbad apologized for his earlier statement.
In the video, Naira Marley also provided counsel to Mohbad, advising him against killing himself and encouraging him to free himself from any pressures he might be facing.

Popular Nigerian singer, Ahmed Ololade, better known as Asake, has revealed that his love of money led him to choose music over dance.
Recall that the YBNL artiste is a talented dancer with a background in theatre performance.
Asake said this in a recent interview when he said that he wasn’t sure whether dancing would bring him the needed level of financial success.
“The reason I left dance is for my love for money. I want to be very honest. Dance is something that I love. But I’m not sure dance can give me the kind of money I want.
Even if you want to make it so gangster-like and there are so many people bumping, you still need to use the dancers. So, as they work together, I think for the love of money, I’d rather be singing,” he said.
When asked if he would pursue dancing if it brought significant success, he responded: “No, I would join music and dance together so I will have more money.”
A while back, Nigerian singer, Skiibii, has revealed that his colleague Asake, used to be his dancer before his rise to fame.

Nigerian businessman and philanthropist, Olakunke Churchill, has seemingly taken a subtle dig at someone while sharing a thought-provoking post in response to the death of the popular singer, Mohbad.
Churchill had taken to his Instagram page to express his agreement with a post by socialite Pretty Mike, where he stated that some of those seeking justice for Mohbad are no different from his oppressors.
Pretty Mike stated this in reaction to the attacks and harassment that Mohbad suffered from individuals allegedly associated with his former record label after his exit.
The post reads,
“AS WE ARE SEEKING JUSTICE FOR MOHBAD..
Also, remember those your friends you have fallen out with because you have a misunderstanding, but
you swear to humiliate & destroy them. I hope you know you aren’t different from his oppressors..
Those your friends you have told lies about just to tarnish their name….
Those your friends you have told your gang/followers not to support their business anymore cause you’ve fallen out with them…
Those your friends you have poisoned people’s minds
towards them… some of you have killed the characters of people cause you guys have fallen out
A lot of things start with us! You don’t know how many people you have put in harms way with your evil words, fake accounts, or anonymous blogs! YES “there is still time to change ur ways”..
You open an anonymous account just to hurt your
friends and family cause you fell out, fabricating lies about them
or spilling out things your close ones told you in confidence just to humiliate them… I hope this is a revolution for a lot of us to be better people.”
Churchill, who couldn’t agree more with the post, reposted it on his verified Instagram page and stated that bullies and blackmailers are worse than witches and wizards.
He added that it’s unfortunate that such people are exploiting the singer’s death to seek attention online and are also pretending to show support in public.
He wrote,
“@prettymikeoflagos is one of the smartest people i know in the industry. He literally took words out of my mouth with this post.
As we’re seeking Justice for Mohbad, let’s stop being cyber bullies ourselves.
There is no difference between Cyberbullies and the alleged perpetrators of the attack on the young artiste.
Blackmailers and Bullies are even worse that witches and wizards. It’s sad that they are the ones to even chase clout with people’s tragedies and feign support in public.
Let’s stop pulling people down while hiding behind the keypads.”

Nigerian disc jockey and activist, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, better known as DJ Switch, has revealed how she ‘roasted’ renowned novelist Wole Soyinka during an event.
Switch said she was a panelist at the event and was given an opportunity to speak about Wole Soyinka. Instead of praising and speaking highly of him, she criticized him harshly.
She explained that she chose to do this because she believes he is different from his remarkable body of work and is, in reality, a bigot
Taking to the microblogging platform X, she wrote,
“Was a panelist at an event over the weekend and just before the event started, we all got talking about African writers and of course Nigeria’s contribution.
“Someone brought up Wole Soyinka (whose works are quite exceptional if I might add)… and I was given the floor.
“Brethren… I would like to let you people know that I did not let one bullet go astray! Wole Soyinka unlike many of his counterparts chose to be completely separate from his works and also chose to display his bigotry and myopic thinking these past few months. It was my esteemed pleasure to roast the uncle while maintaining decorum and extol other Nigerian writers!”
This comes weeks after Wole Soyinka stated that the Labour Party (LP) knows their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, lost the February 25 election.
Speaking at an event in Stellenbosch, South Africa, Soyinka said:
“Peter Obi achieved something remarkable there, that he broke that mould. However, he did not win the election.
“I can say categorically that Peter Obi’s party came third not even second and the leadership knew it but they want to do what we call in Yoruba ‘gbajue’, that is force of lies.”

Leah, who was 14 years old at the time, was abducted in February 2018 along with over 100 schoolmates from the Government Girls Technical College in Dapchi, Yobe State.
Months after her kidnapping, reports emerged that she had married one of her abductors and is now a mother.
In a recent update shared by the Daily Trust on Tuesday, September 26, it was revealed that Leah is now married to another ISWAP commander named Ali Abdallah in the Lake Chad region.

“Leah was first married to Abdulrahman after she allegedly converted to Islam and they have two children, all boys that were named after two Boko Haram commanders that were killed,” the source said.
“We don’t know what transpired but Leah secured the divorce and married another commander, Ali Abdallah.”
The source also revealed that Leah was taught how to provide medical services to injured Boko Haram fighters and women.
According to the Daily Trust, one of the strategies of terrorists in the North East is to train their captives in various fields of expertise, including medicine, nursing, engineering, and computer science.
“She was ‘trained’ as a medical personnel and now leads the ISWAP medical team in the northern part of the Lake Chad area,” the source said.
Another source said,
“Ten days ago, Leah, her supposed husband and other fighters were sighted at Dogon Chukwun kangarwa.

“As of today, we got a report that a large contingent of the ISWAP fighters has started migrating from the area through the Guzamala forest.
“They were sighted on the route of Cross – Mosquito camp- Garin-giwa (where the Zulum’s convoy was attacked) – Munguno – Gajiram with cache of dangerous arms.”
Nigerian singer, Abiola Ahmed Akinbiyi, better known as Bella Shmurda, has reacted to Naira Marley’s statement, denying all allegations against him about being involved in Mohbad’s death.
Recall that the public connected the Marlian Music executive to Mohbad’s murder after footage of the artist being harassed by Naira Marley’s friend Sam Larry emerged.
In a statement, Naira Marley denied any involvement—direct or indirect—in the killing of Mohbad.
He said that he will completely cooperate with the authorities to see to the case’s resolution.
Taking to social media, Bella told the Marlian Music executive to ensure that he reports himself to the police.
“Sha lo report ara re,” he wrote.
In other news, Bella Shmurda revealed why he will not pay his last respect to his friend and colleague, Mohbad, who passed away recently.
Bella, who was very close to the deceased singer before his sudden death on Tuesday September 12, has repeatedly taken to social media to bewail his death and call for justice.
Taking to Twitter on Monday September 18, the 27-year-old singer stated that he will not pay his last respect to Mohbad until justice is served.
He added that those who harassed, assaulted and attacked him must be brought to book before he pays his last respect to his best friend.
Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has accused Nigerians of being unreasonable in their demands for Omowunmi, the widow of the late musician Mohbad, to do a DNA test on her child to establish the boy’s paternity.
It has been reported that certain Nigerians have persisted in demanding a DNA test be performed on Mohbad’s five-month-old boy to establish his paternity.
Recall that the widow was recently offered N10 million by businessman Larry Omodia in exchange for her consent to a “all-expenses paid” DNA test.
Iyabo Ojo responded, calling the requests for a DNA test “insensitive,” in a video posted on her Instagram page.
She said,
“All these distractions of DNA test, you people should please allow Mohbad’s family to mourn. If Mohbad’s parents want a DNA test, they can request it. You and I don’t have the right to tell them to do a DNA test.
Mohbad never told anyone that his son wasn’t his son. But if the officers investigating his death feel there is a need to conduct a DNA test, they will. We need to be very sensitive, please. Why are you guys bullying the poor lady [Mohbad’s wife]? Leave her alone.”
Big Brother Naija “All Stars” housemate, Hazel Oyeze Onou, popularly known as Whitemoney, has stated despite having won “Pepper Dem,” Mercy Eke deserves to win the N120 million top prize.
White Money, who won the Shine Ya Eye edition in 2021, stated this in a recent interview with TV personality Hero Daniels.
He also chastised individuals who criticized Mercy and him for returning to the show after winning their respective seasons.
The brand ambassador explained why there is nothing wrong with the Imo-born diva winning the top award once more on Sunday, using a sports analogy.
In other news, Whitemoney opened up about his unconventional bathing habit.
He shared this during a candid discussion with his fellow housemates, including Alex, Cross, and Kim Oprah, when the topic of whether any woman has seen his manhood in the house came up.
In response, Whitemoney revealed that he intentionally doesn’t bath naked in the house because he doesn’t want his co-stars to see his huge genitalia.
The 30-year-old reality TV star added that he is a “grower” and his male organ has a tendency to grow substantially when he is sexually aroused, which is why he keeps it from public glare. He also mentioned that he uses XXXL condoms.
Speaking further, he joked that if the ladies were to see his manhood, they might experience orgasm without any physical contact.
Nigerian Rapper and Label Boss, Naira Marley has taken to his social media page to categorically deny having any hand in the death of his former label signee, Mohbad.
Following Mohbad’s passing, information about how he was maltreated after leaving the Marlians Record label dominated social media and this led to a barrage of accusations involving Naira Marley and others.
The Public has since called for Naira Marley’s arrest and he finally released a statement on Tuesday to state that he considered the late Mohbad to be his brother and member of his music family.
His statement reads ;
In the last few days, there has been a lot of onslaught on my person and reputation globally over the death of my former signee. All manner of stories has been woven against me in respect of his untimely death. I have not only been in shock over the death of the deceased whom I considered to be my brother and member of our music family, but over the various lies spread and threats against me.
Before I progress further, let me say that as it is traumatic for a lot of people to bear the reality of Ileri’s death, so it is to me.
May his gentle soul continue to rest in peace and may God grant his family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
Permit me to categorically state that I have no hand in the death of Ilerioluwa, either directly or indirectly. It is not unusual in the industry, just like in several other industries to have family friction, even amongst blood relatives. Truly, we had our own share of misunderstandings whilst working together, but the disagreement between us was never to the extent being painted by some hirelings. It never degenerated to the extent of wishing each other death. Even at that, we were resolving our business disputes legally before he had passed.
I have chosen not to say anything since due to being distraught over his death and in order not to jeopardize the investigation being carried out by the government agencies.
In addition, I have been out of the country since the 31st of August, 2023 and I’m yet to return.
In light of the police invitation, I am making arrangements to return to the country to assist the investigation and give my version of the events. I am fully cooperating with the Police team and I certainly have no reason to be a fugitive when I have no hand in his death.
I am certain that the culprit behind his death and has a vendetta against me and are fueling public opinions to have me lynched for reasons known to them. In due time the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death will be unveiled and the world will know the truth. This kind of scenario of attempting to set someone up is not novel in the industry as other great musicians
have experienced the same and came out better and stronger. Mine will not be an exception as I am innocent of the accusations.
Mohbad left the label in September 2022, the label accepted his departure. Marlian Music did not stop or interfere with his career or releases since and he has been with oneRPM. Legal efforts were made to reconcile his concerns regarding the work we had done together.
The rumors regarding the label being a drug cartel are untrue. I am not a drug lord, neither do I Marley belong to any cult or fraternity.
I’m dedicated to proving my innocence and I’m cooperating with the authorities to clear my name with sufficient evidence.
Marlian Music is an independent label run by a small intimate team. We run a legitimate label that focuses on championing exceptional talent, breaking new acts and nurturing them.
I will like to clearly state that I have never fought or attacked Mohbad. For the avoidance of doubt I have never instructed anyone, friend, known associates or fans to attack, bully or harass Mohbad. With regards to the talent on the label, none of our artists ever fought or mistreated Mohbad.
I share my deepest condolences to the family. Let’s be mindful as we seek justice to focus on supporting the police and authorities with relevant information and evidence surrounding his death so that those responsible will be apprehended. I am positive that at the end of the day, the truth will prevail and I shall be exonerated.
My lawyers are already in touch with the police and government agencies and will support in every way necessary.
Without a doubt I will honor his memory and I promise to do right by him and his family.
Thank you.
Naira Marley
Nigerian indigenous rapper, Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, popularly known as Phyno, has claimed that while he was a rising musician, acquaintances had counselled him to join a cult or partake in rituals if he wanted to succeed in the music industry.
The hip-hop musician revealed this while giving young, up-and-coming artists advice on taking shortcuts to success.
Phyno, who noted that he declined the offer, stated that he never believed in utilizing shortcuts to succeed in the industry since he thought that hard work, commitment, and persistence were the essential qualities that might make him successful.
The ‘Alobam’ hitmaker cautioned aspiring musicians against signing with just any record company out of desperation without carefully reading and weighing the terms and conditions.
He said;
“Some people look at us today and think we got it easy, Not at all. I’ve never loved easy things. Before many people heard of Phyno, I’d had songs that no one knew existed.
“A couple of friends told me to blow, I must join a cult or sacrifice something or someone, I told them the price is too much. I’ll never do such. I believed in myself and the power of hard work, I started little and today I thank God.
“Young talents need to relax, do not be desperate about record deals or being in the spotlight. Keep working, when it’s time you’ll shine.
“Imagine begging a label to sign you, what kind of terms will they give you? They already know you are desperate and they will use you. At the beginning, you might not see it but give it time, you’ll regret it. Nothing pays more than hard work and consistency”.
…. But you can keep a secret tho
.”
don’t suffocate them , the have a responsibility to live so they can produce great movies for us”
