“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.

woman allegedly sells

The Ogun State police command has arrested a 33-year-old woman, Olaide Adekunle, for reportedly selling her 18-month-old baby to a yet-to-be-identified buyer for N600,000.

The suspect was apprehended when her husband, Nureni Rasaq, filed a complaint at Sango divisional headquarters, that his wife left home for Lagos on March 15, 2023, with their baby girl, Moridiat Rasaq, but returned home without the baby.

He said all attempts to find out what happened to the child were futile because his wife was unable to give any reasonable explanation for her disappearance.

woman allegedly sells

Following the report, the DPO Sango division, CSP Dahiru Saleh, directed his investigators to go after the woman, who was quickly apprehended. Upon questioning, the suspect admitted to selling her kid to someone in Lagos for six hundred thousand naira (#600,000).

She said she sold the child because she took a loan from a microfinance bank, and when she was unable to repay it, the bank agents began harassing her and threatened to deal with her harshly.

As a result of this, she fled to Lagos and began selling sachet water. While hawking one day, she met a man who introduced her to the woman who eventually purchased the child in Lagos.

The state police command’s spokesperson, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the arrest, said the acting Commissioner of Police, DCP Babakura Muhammed, has directed that the suspect be transferred to State Criminal Investigation Departments for further investigation and possible recovery of the baby.

“I was forced back to uni. I was kind of bribed,” he said.

“My dad is just big on education. The first place I came to when I ran from home was London. From there I came back to Nigeria and my dad wanted me to go to school ask so I was like ‘What is in it for me?’.

“He said if I go to school, he has a land not far; he will build me a studio. But I should go to school from Mondays to Fridays and on weekends, work in the studio during the weekend. It was a world-class studio. He will give me money to shoot some videos. He added.

Kaduna clergyman laments

Bishop Jacob Kwashi, the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Zangon Kataf local government area of Kaduna state, has condemned the series of killings in the state.

Speaking at the mass burial of 33 people killed in an attack in Runji Village on Saturday, April 15, Bishop Kwashi said the state and federal governments know what they need to do to stop the killing and urged them to do it.

Bandits stormed the community recently and started shooting at the locals, killing many of them, including children.

 Kaduna clergyman laments

Reacting to the recent wave of bandit attacks, the cleric stated that if a cow is accidentally killed in the area, a large number of troops will be dispatched to fish out the perpetrator yet they are doing nothing to quell the killings.

In his words,

“We will not run away from our land. Even if they come tonight after us and we are killed, there will be some people who will talk and there will be the young who will rise again. So we ask that the government of Kaduna state, the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria..they should do the needful. They know what they should do to stop this evil. They know it. I have said it and let me repeat myself. If by mistake one cow is killed by any of the community here, the number of military troops that will enter and ransack the community and look for those to arrest because one cow has been killed… and now we have 33 corpses and a young boy of five years who has been beheaded. What has he done to these evil people”

“Why I stayed in an abusive marriage despite being abused on our wedding night” — Actress Foluke Daramola reveals

Foluke Daramola reveals

Popular Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola-Salako, has revealed why she chose to stay in an abusive marriage with her first husband, Tunde Sobowale.

Foluke, who was married to him for three years, stated in an interview with TVC that she saw clear signs that he was abusive on their wedding night.

According to her, she was subjected to domestic violence by her husband but did not end the marriage immediately because she was afraid of public criticism.

Foluke Daramola reveals

She said she was scared of what people would say if she had filed for a divorce after only a few months of marriage.

She said when she eventually left the marriage in 2008, some people still insulted her without knowing what she had gone through at the hands of her spouse.

The 45-year-old thespian, who has since remarried her second husband, Kayode Salako, said,

“My first marriage, on the night of my wedding was when I noticed abuse. But because of what people will say… And God has already orchestrated it because my wonderful kids are from the marriage.

“When I finally decided to step out [of the marriage], people did not understand why I stepped out. But I understood that I needed to go. A lot of people did not receive it well, but if I hadn’t stepped out, if I had died there, by now I would have been a forgotten case.

“So, it is better for people not to accept my reality or my truth but I accept my own truth than for me to lose my life in the process of trying to prove to the world what I’m going through.”

In other news, Nigerian media personality, Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, better known as Nedu, has tendered an apology to Nigerians for his recent comment about the institution of marriage.

It was earlier reported that Nedu took to social media to say that ‘marriage is dead’ and that women have now turned it into a poverty alleviation scheme.

He said this in response to the recent discourse about footballer Achraf Hakimi’s wife, who allegedly demanded half of his fortune after filing for divorce, only to learn that he owned nothing because all of his properties are in his mother’s name.

According to Nedu, marriage has lost its original purpose and has become a means for women to escape poverty. He asserted that Hakimi’s wife only married him because she planned to divorce him and take half of his fortune after a few years of marriage.

“You see say marriage don die? In fact, if people believe anything for marriage before, the thing wey dey go on now with marriage for inside the whole world, people no want enter marriage again. Na most women, some of una, na e dey make some people no want enter marriage because una don turn the thing to poverty alleviation scheme,” he said in part.

His choice of word infuriated many of his followers and he was dragged to filth for saying marriage is ‘dead’.

Reacting to this backlash, Nedu has now publicly apologized to those offended by his statement. He also explained that his words were misunderstood and he didn’t mean it literally.
