BBNaija star, Chichi replies troll who shamed her for looking ‘mature’ at 14

Chichi replies

Reality TV star, Chinenyenwa Desire Okoebor, popularly known as Chichi, has responded to a troll who shamed her for looking older than her age at 14.

Chichi, a former exotic dancer and finalist in the seventh edition of Big Brother Naija, had shared a throwback photo of herself in response to a fan who wanted to see what she looked like at 14.

 Chichi replies

However, the photo caused quite a stir on Twitter, with many saying that she looked way older than 14 in the photo.

A troll, who shared the same opinion, stated that Chichi looked 25 in the throwback picture yet she claims to be 23 presently.

“You are 23 years as at now so are you telling me you were 14 years with this face 🙀🙀🙀🙀 chichi this pic as of 2014 is like 25 years old”, she commented.

Chichi got wind of the comment and surprisingly responded to the troll. She explained that she looked mature in the picture because she started hustling at a young age.

According to the BBNaija star, she has been fending for herself since she was 14, but the troll may not understand why she aged rapidly because she had an easy life.

The 23-year-old wrote,

“You prolly grew up with your family, at 14 I was already fending for myself.
When maturity hits you at an early age, you would understand. For now, celebrate grace.”

“I drop hits back to back. How many hits you don drop?” – Portable fires back at Goya Menor over his recent statement (video)

Portable fires

Popular Nigerian singer, Portable has resumed his online beef with his colleague, Goya Menor, after the latter berated him in a recent interview.

In an interview with HipTV, Goya likened Portable to a “dog” and himself to an “elephant,” and stated that they can’t be compared with each other.

According to Goya, he doesn’t give a hoot about Portable and the Zazu star is only fighting with himself.

This comes months after the singers were embroiled in an online battle for supremacy when Goya won the Headies award for Best Street-Hop Artist of the Year in 2022 with his hit song “Ameno Amapiano.”

At the time, Portable slammed Goya for winning the category which he was disqualified from, arguing that Goya did not deserve the award because he is a mere hype-man and not a musician.

Reacting, Goya Menor took to his Instagram page to label Portable a crass and lowlife person who’s comparing himself to him.

Portable fires

In a recent interview with Hip TV, Goya Menor, speaking on his rift with Portable, said,

“I don’t have issue with him. I think he has issue with himself. This same question was asked last week. And the reply I gave was ‘The situation is like an elephant doing his thing. And you see one dog barking woo woo woo!’

“Check the comparison because the elephant knows that with just one hit this dog is dead. So, no need to pay attention. The elephant just keeps moving and doing his own thing.”

Watch the interview below,

His statement infuriated Portable who fired back at him, stating that he is far ahead of him musically.

He also told Goya to list the number of hit songs he has and the number of endorsements he has signed in his music career.

“I drop hits back to back, Zazu. Who no know Zazu?” Portable asked in the video

Portable also claimed that the Headies Award organizers are currently regretting their decision to award Goya Best Street-Hop Artist of the Year

“There’s more to AY and Basketmouth’s beef; AY hung up on me” – Comedian, Julius Agwu (video)

Nigerian comedian, Julius Agwu, has weighed in on the ongoing feud between his colleagues AY and Basketmouth.

AY and Basketmouth, who are big names in the Nigerian entertainment industry, have been in the news lately due to their year-long beef, after AY revealed that it was over a N30,000 gig.

During an interview with Chude Jideonwo, AY alleged that his issue with Basketmouth started in 2006 after he refused to pay him an agreed N30,000 for standing in for him at an event.

Basketmouth, on the other hand, denied ever being friends with AY and stated that most of the claims made by AY during his interview with Chude Jideonwo were lies.

Julius Agwu, when asked to speak on the beef between the two comedians during a recent interview with Naija FM, said he believes there’s more to it than the N30,000.

Speaking on his relationship with Ay, Julius Agwu recalled putting a call through to him, asking him to reschedule his yearly Easter sunday comedy show that equally falls on the same day with his.

He claimed AY refused and hung the phone on him.

“There’s more to it, na we dey back stage we no go fit know…I called AY, he cut phone for my neck”. He said in part.

“Basketmouth would never bring himself to apologize to you on anything” – Comedian AY reveals as he recounts surprising experience with him

Comedian AY reveals

Popular Nigerian comedian, Ayo Makun, better known as AY, has recounted his surprising experience with his colleague, Basketmouth.

Recall that the duo have been at odds for years and AY recently revealed that it was over a N30,000 gig. He also said he went to Basketmouth’s wedding with his wife but was turned away.

Following his revelation, Basketmouth, in an interview on The HonestBunch podcast, maintained that he was never friends with AY and has never picked up his phone to call him.

Comedian AY reveals

Well, AY, in a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, recalled receiving a call from Basketmouth amid their feud.

AY explained that he had purchased a car for his wife at the time and shared it online and days later, Basketmouth shared a post condemning showing off on social media.

As expected, people assumed Basketmouth was throwing shade at AY, and trooped to the comment section to make their speculations known.

Comedian AY reveals

Shockinly, AY said Basketmouth called him to explain that he was not referring to him in his post, and he was very happy about the call.

AY said:

“Something happened that never happened in the history of my knowing Bright Okpocha. Bright Okpocha would not bring himself on the level to apologise to you on anything.

“So, there was a post he made, about people showing off cars, people who just go online and show off stuff when they buy stuff and everything.

“Incidentally, I posted a ride I got my wife two days to that tweet, so people went on his page and were like, ‘Oh, this must be referring to AY’ and for the first time, Bright Okpocha, he carried his phone and called me. If you see how happy I was. Like he called me practically like, ‘guy, see wetin I dey hear o, people are relating what I posted to you, it has nothing to do with you.’

“I was very appreciative of the fact that the Master called, which is very rare, he will never stoop that low.

‘So, that the Master called, I was happy. My belief was that, that is now going to form the balance that I’ve been craving for us to have.”

However, AY said when he returned to Nigeria and tried to maintain that cordial relationship with Basketmouth, he was snubbed.

He said: “So, when I came back to Nigeria, he was having a show, I called him, ‘ah this your show that you’re having, incidentally, it’s the same day I’m doing Port Harcourt but we could do like a skit idea and all that’. All the voice note, everything is still in my phone.”

AY said he told Basketmouth: “Let’s do it this way, this way.”

He said Basketmouth replied: “Ya, I’ll think about it and then we’ll see how we’ll run it.”

On why he reached out to Basketmouth, Ay said: “Because, the Servant was still willing to serve the Master, But guess what? Long story short, e no reach two to three weeks Master just waka pass me for event.”

AY said Basketmouth’s beef with him has also extended to people affiliated with him as Basketmouth automatically cancels anyone who has anything to do with him.

Bassey stated this while reacting to a post about virginity and character being largely connected.

Bassey, who apparently doesn’t agree with the assertion, opined that virginity is not the same as character.

According to him, virginity alone is not enough to sustain a healthy and happy marriage.

He went on to narrate the story of his brother, who got married as a virgin, but the marriage lasted only six months.

“To whom it may concern, virginity is not the same as character, I have a brother that was a virgin, finished university, worked for years, went to UK, came back, still a virgin, married with both traditional and church rituals, yet marriage could not last 6 months. Parental guidance and instilled discipline is not the same as in-built character,” he wrote.
