Shola Ogudu, mother of Wizkid’s 14-year-old son Boluwatife, popularly known as Champz, has explained why she declined the numerous show invitations her son has received since releasing his debut EP, “Champion’s Arrival.” Speaking on X, Ogudu said: “We are truly grateful for all the show invitations and for everyone considering Champz.

Humbled, motivated, and ready for what comes next. This is only the beginning. So help me God.” Ogudu explained that her decision to decline live shows is meant to ensure Champz can continue developing his talent while enjoying his youth and building a sustainable music career.

Chocolate City Music Accuses Odumodublvck Of Attacking Staff Backstage At Rhythm Unplugged
Chocolate City Music has accused rapper Odumodublvck of physically attacking one of its staff members backstage at Monday’s Rhythm Unplugged concert in Lagos. In a statement shared on its Instagram page, the label described the incident as a serious escalation in the ongoing feud between Odumodublvck and Chocolate City artist Emeka Akumafule, known professionally as Blaqbonez. According to the statement, Mr Feyi Ajayi, a Chocolate City employee, was backstage with another artist when Odumodublvck allegedly approached him, issued threats toward the label and its executives, and headbutted him without provocation. Eyewitnesses said that when a bodyguard tried to intervene, Odumodublvck and his associates reportedly poured drinks on Mr Ajayi while shouting abusive language at the staff and management. Chocolate City confirmed that Mr Ajayi was hospitalised and is currently receiving treatment for injuries sustained during the attack. The label framed the incident as part of a broader pattern of harassment linked to the ongoing rivalry between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez. It highlighted previous alleged confrontations, including an altercation at Landmark Beach in December 2024, disputes in Uyo, and incidents at a fashion show in England in 2025. The company also cited repeated online harassment targeting Blaqbonez, his manager Morin Oluwatobi, and Chocolate City executive Osagie Onobun. The statement further alleged that Odumodublvck had sent over 100 threatening messages to Blaqbonez and other members of the label, some of which were directed at family members and colleagues in the music industry. “Rap rivalries are part of hip-hop, but physical assault, stalking, spitting on women, threats with weapons, and intimidation are not acceptable,” Chocolate City said. The company added that it has reported the matter to the authorities and will pursue legal action to protect its staff, artists, and executives. It also urged event organisers and industry stakeholders to strengthen security at live shows and take a firm stance against violence. Odumodublvck’s representatives were not immediately available for comment. The feud between Blaqbonez and Odumodublvck began in June 2025 when Blaqbonez released the diss track Who’s Really Rapping, which Odumodublvck interpreted as a personal attack, igniting a heated online exchange between the two artists.
Ogun Court Dismisses KWAM 1’s Bid To Halt Awujale Selection Process
An Ogun State High Court in Ijebu-Ode on Monday dismissed an application by Fuji musician Otunba Wasiu Olasunkanmi Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM 1, seeking to halt the selection process of the next Awujale. Ayinde, from the Fidipote ruling house, had approached the court to challenge why only the Fusengbuwa ruling house was being considered to produce the next Awujale. He filed the suit against Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun and the Chairman of the Fusengbuwa ruling house, Otunba Lateef Owoyemi, asking the court to stop the installation process pending the outcome of his lawsuit. Other respondents in the case, filed as HC3/238/2025, include the Executive Chairman of Ijebu-Ode Local Government, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, the Secretary to Ijebu-Ode Local Government, and the Chairman of the Awujale Interregnum Administrative Council. Justice A. A. Omoniyi ruled that the application lacked merit and refused to grant an interim injunction to stop the selection of the new Awujale. However, the court scheduled an accelerated hearing, with proceedings set to begin on January 14, 2026. Ayinde’s lawsuit claims that the succession process violates the Ogun State Chieftaincy Law and infringes on his constitutional rights. In response to the legal challenge, the state government temporarily halted the Awujale selection process. Vice Chairman of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, Prof. Fassy Yusuf, explained that the suspension was due to procedural errors, noting that the government intends to strictly follow the provisions of the Obas and Chiefs Law in the installation of the Awujale.
