Phyna Clashes With Police Officer Over Alleged Illegal Road Stop
Phyna, the reality TV star, confronted a police officer after being stopped on a Nigerian road, questioning the legality of the stop. She argued that officers should not block vehicles randomly and stressed that proper procedures must be followed, including parking before conducting checks. As a public figure, Phyna directly challenged the officer, describing the stop as “wrong and unacceptable” and warning she would report the incident to senior authorities. She instructed her driver to remain calm and avoid any physical confrontation, focusing solely on highlighting what she saw as unprofessional conduct. Phyna said: “Oga, I am a celebrity, how dare you stop me and say what you said? In the middle of the road, Nigeria police will now stop and just select a random car and stop the car just like that. I’ve never heard about it in my life. You need police to park on the road and stop. You’re not allowed to stop like this.” Between Phyna and a Nigerian police as she was stopped on the road🙆♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️ pic.twitter.com/MCXCOquP56 — Man of the world (@Grey37631292) January 15, 2026
Anu Adeleke’s Alleged Mother Breaks Silence, Accuses Davido Of Bullying And Insists Daughter Is Fighting For Her Identity
The woman behind the renewed paternity controversy involving Davido has issued a lengthy clarification, saying her decision to speak out was driven solely by concern for her daughter’s wellbeing. Using her daughter’s Instagram account, she identified herself as Ayo Labinjoh and firmly rejected being described as Davido’s baby mama or being labeled a prostitute. She said she has deliberately stayed away from public drama over the years to protect her daughter from emotional harm caused by constant online attacks and bullying. “Good evening, we are heading to bed now. First things first, my name is Ayo Labinjoh. I’m NOT Davido’s baby mama or a bitch. I am very protective of my daughter’s mental health after the level of bullying she went through for years. My daughter cried for days, fainted in school and went through psychotherapy.” According to her, the family had largely moved on from the issue until it resurfaced again, dragging her daughter back into public attention. She accused Davido of ignoring her for years while privately portraying her as a prostitute, a claim she strongly denied. “David Adeleke has largely ignored me for years because he thought he picked up a prostitute from GQClub in Ibadan. I was a waitress and not picked up on the streets. I come from a good home.” She went on to speak about her background and her late father, while also describing her daughter as intelligent, tech-savvy and highly protected from conversations about her family at school. She stressed that she keeps no friends and ensures no one discusses her daughter’s personal life with her. Labinjoh also challenged Davido’s claim that five DNA tests had been conducted. She alleged that the testing process was mishandled from the beginning and that the public had been misled about the number of tests done. “Dr Deji Adeleke took us to a LAB not a hospital where Anu’s blood was drawn in 2014 then discarded behind our backs and fake result was printed,” she claimed, adding that Nigerians were previously told two tests were done before the narrative later changed to five. She expressed shock that her daughter began trending again on social media, saying it followed renewed denials and insults from Davido. “To my shock she was trending on X because her dad needed to call me a bitch that he’s never met yet he subjected himself to a DNA test 5X?” Labinjoh further alleged that Davido contacted her daughter directly, accusing him of threatening and bullying the teenager through private messages. “My daughter is fighting for her identity. David chatted my daughter tonight threatening to lock me up, cursing Anu and repeatedly bullying her.” She concluded by insisting that the situation is not about financial gain but about her daughter’s right to know her identity. She said she plans to seek an independently supervised DNA test, possibly involving international authorities, to ensure transparency. “My daughter did not beg to be here… Bullying my daughter is WRONG.”
Davido Blows Hot, Tells Alleged Daughter, Mother To Leave Him Alone After Multiple DNA Tests
Nigerian music superstar Davido has reacted angrily to a viral claim from a teenage girl alleging to be his daughter, who publicly requested a DNA test. Responding to a tweet from an influencer that read, “A daughter asking the father for a DNA test will really break and touch the father’s heart,” Davido wrote: “After 5 DNA tests … she Dey crase … her and her mom better leave me the fuck alone and go find her papa.” When a user asked if he knew the girl’s mother, the singer responded: “Never met the bitch … except when we went for the DNA … very stupid behavior. I will soon treat their FK … 5 fucking hospitals just to be clear … the mom needs to go to jail … I don’t blame the poor girl.” Davido later defended himself further, stating: “Yes, I chose 3 hospitals and they chose their own two hospitals … all came out negative. This is the last time I’m speaking on this nonsense.” The controversy arose after Anu Adeleke, the teenager claiming to be his daughter, requested a DNA test to confirm her parentage. Reports indicate that five separate tests have already been conducted, all reportedly negative, though her mother has disputed the results. The singer’s tweets have sparked heated debate online, with fans divided between supporting Davido’s strong response and criticizing his language and approach to the sensitive matter.

A$AP Rocky Reveals Mom Encouraged Him to Pursue Rihanna
A$AP Rocky has revealed that his mother always encouraged him to be with Rihanna, even advising him to move on from his ex. In an interview with The New York Times, Rocky said his mom would often tell him, “I want you with Riri,” though at the time he thought of Rihanna only as a friend. He now believes his mother’s instincts were right. “Rihanna has always been my boo. I always f*cked with her. My mother used to say, ‘I know you like this girl that you are with right now, but I want you with Riri,’” Rocky said. He continued: “And I would tell her that Rihanna is just a friend. But my mother insisted that Rihanna is a real one and that I should go for her. I’m telling you, mothers know best. However, I am thankful that my relationship with Rihanna started when it did. Because at any time prior to that, I don’t think I was ready for something like that. I don’t think she was, either.” Rocky and Rihanna first became close in 2013 when he joined her on the Diamond Tour. Rumors of their romance emerged in 2020 after Rihanna’s split from Hassan Jameel. The couple has since welcomed three children together, in 2022, 2023, and 2025.
