The drama started when Bewaji shared a video that appeared to troll Ashabi Simple — one of the key figures involved in the issues that led to Portable’s imprisonment — using a playful “😜” gesture. She followed up with another post showing herself in digital clown makeup, captioned: “Make una sha no come for me because ko ni funny,” signaling that she wasn’t bothered by the reactions. Ashabi Simple responded on her Instagram Story, calling out Bewaji’s behavior as childish. She wrote: “Isn’t that childish, Iyawa? Me throw shades keh? Any shade wey I c now na to use ham see front.

Not looking for cheap fame here.” The online exchange has drawn the attention of fans, who continue to watch the ongoing rivalry unfold between Bewaji and Ashabi Simple in the wake of Portable’s legal troubles.
Brooklyn Beckham Says He Won’t Reconcile With Parents, Accuses David and Victoria of Media Lies
Brooklyn Beckham has opened up about his ongoing feud with his parents, Victoria and David Beckham, saying he has no plans to reconcile with them. He accused them of spreading false information in the media and interfering in his marriage. On Monday, January 19, Brooklyn took to Instagram to explain that he had tried to keep family matters private but felt forced to respond after repeated media reports. He said he is now standing up for himself against attempts to control his life. “I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.” “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.” Brooklyn also revealed that he suffered from intense anxiety growing up, which has lessened since he moved out of his parents’ home. The dispute has reportedly involved his younger brother, Cruz. Last December, Cruz responded to a Daily Mail report claiming Brooklyn had been unfollowed by their parents on social media, stating that the family had all been blocked accidentally. Brooklyn, however, insists that Cruz was used by his parents to target him online. “Sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last summer,” Brooklyn said. The BBC reached out to David and Victoria Beckham, the former footballer and former Spice Girl, for comment, but neither has responded to their son’s allegations.

Davido’s Influence Surpasses Music, Burna Boy Dominates Stage – Seyi Sodimu
Seyi Sodimu has drawn a clear line between the kind of power Davido and Burna Boy command, saying their influence operates on very different levels. During an appearance on the What I Know podcast, the veteran musician praised Burna Boy for his musical authority, noting that his strength lies in performance and stage control. According to Sodimu, Burna Boy’s impact is firmly rooted in music and artistry. “Burna Boy has conquered the stage. And he is good.” He contrasted this with Davido, whom he described as a figure whose influence extends well beyond entertainment. Sodimu argued that Davido’s reach cuts across society and could easily translate into political success. “Davido surpasses music.” To drive home his point, he claimed that Davido would have no trouble winning an election if he decided to run for office. “What do I mean by that? If Davido ran for governor today, he would win. But I don’t think Burna Boy could win as a governor.” Sodimu’s remarks echo an earlier prediction by Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, who once suggested that Davido could eventually become governor of Osun State. That idea appears less far-fetched given Davido’s political connections, as his uncle, Ademola Adeleke, currently serves as the governor of Osun State.

The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a suspect in connection with the death of singer Adesina Afeez, popularly known as Destiny Boy.

Destiny Boy’s passing came to public attention on Sunday after distressing videos showing his body being moved to a mortuary circulated widely on social media, sparking grief and speculation over the cause of his death.
VeryDarkMan Appreciates Blord After Cease-and-Desist Over Ratel Brand Is Withdrawn
VeryDarkMan has publicly thanked Blord after the tech entrepreneur withdrew his cease-and-desist order over the use of the Ratel label, ending a tense back-and-forth between the two figures. The controversy began when Blord declared his intention to become the sole owner of the Ratel name — a brand widely associated with VeryDarkMan and his fanbase — and threatened legal action to enforce his claim. In response, VeryDarkMan insisted that Ratel goes beyond trademarks, saying, “There can only be one Ratel. True ownership is about authenticity, not paperwork.” Hours later, Blord revealed that he had been contacted by “top men across the country,” influential figures who asked him to show mercy and allow VeryDarkMan to continue using the brand. Following this, Blord announced he was withdrawing the cease-and-desist order and instructed that fans now recognize VeryDarkMan as their CEO, signing off as Linus Williams — CEO/Founder, Ratel Groups. In a video response, VeryDarkMan expressed gratitude, visibly emotional and with tears in his eyes, thanking Blord for rescinding the legal action. Some observers have questioned whether his appreciation was entirely sincere, given his earlier pointed remarks. The episode underscores the ongoing debate over branding, authenticity, and influence in Nigeria’s digital space, with Ratel remaining a central symbol of VeryDarkMan’s identity and online presence.

Shaffy Bello Says Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy Have Reached Fela’s Global Status
Actress Shaffy Bello has claimed that Nigerian music stars Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy have achieved the same level of international recognition as the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. Speaking on the podcast What I Know, co-hosted by Korty EO, Bello pointed to the trio’s global influence, wealth, and fame as evidence that they have reached a status comparable to Fela’s legendary impact. When asked if any contemporary Nigerian artists could match Fela’s iconic legacy, she said, “I feel some of our guys have reached that. The Big 3 have reached it already. International recognition is what we affirm as reaching that level. In terms of recognition, power, and money, I feel like our Big 3—or even Big 4—have reached Fela’s level already. I mean, Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, and even Asake, too.” Her remarks follow earlier comments by Fela’s son, Seun Kuti, who cautioned against comparing current artists to his father and stressed the importance of honoring Fela’s enduring legacy.
