Mr Real Accuses D’Banj of Being Stingy, Reveals Years of Unpaid Work and Sacrifices
Nigerian singer Mr Real has criticised D’Banj on the Honest Bunch podcast, accusing the veteran musician of being stingy and unappreciative despite years of working with him. Speaking during the podcast, Mr Real said, “D’Banj is a stingy man. If I die and D’Banj no settle me… after working for him for more than two years, the only thing I gained was five hundred dollars. For what? I don’t know. Maybe na for moimoi, maybe not for Agidi, maybe na for Adi Para.” He challenged the idea that respect for an older artist should prevent him from speaking out, saying, “Forget all this OG nonsense. Because an OG does that mean I shouldn’t say my fate? I shouldn’t say the truth? Because it’s an OG that I’m disrespecting?” Mr Real also spoke about his dedication, explaining, “They call me for shows, I go without asking for money. I would go perform without asking for money. I would go days without asking for money. He would take me around, carry me up and down, show people as if I were his artist… and after all that, people would say I’m stingy.” He added that the experience affected his reputation, saying, “Because of this man, people on my streets felt I was stingy because they felt I was seeing the money. But I didn’t have the money; I was just there giving my all.” His remarks have sparked reactions online, reigniting debates about fairness, recognition, and treatment of younger artists by established stars in the Nigerian music industry. “D’banj is a stingy man.

I Started Smoking at 13, But God Delivered Me from Addiction and Anger – Tonto Dikeh
Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has publicly shared a testimony of her spiritual transformation during a Sunday service at Streams of Joy International Church. In a video posted by DCLImagery on YouTube, the actress revealed that God has delivered her from smoking, alcohol addiction, ma.sturbation, and prolonged anger. Recalling her struggles, Dikeh said she began smoking at the age of 13 and battled alcohol consumption for years. She stated: “I smoked since I was 13. God healed me from ma.sturbation, too. I have known myself to have se.xual intercourse in the dream ever since I was a child.” She explained that her decision to speak at the altar was both a testimony and an act of thanksgiving, noting she nearly withdrew due to concerns about her public image. “The devil tried to tell me that I was supposed to protect my image. But I told myself, what image? The God that gave me the image is the same God that can take it away,” she said. Dikeh also described a turning point in her spiritual journey following her attendance at the Ghana Prayer Conference. “I realised that the weak man who held me captive all my years in my dream ran away,” she said, describing the experience as a release from years of spiritual oppression. The actress further spoke about overcoming what she called “demonic anger,” which had negatively impacted her relationships and personal life. “An anger that destroyed my life. Everybody had to feel it. But praying with NSPPD, God took all of those away and gave me peace,” she said. Reflecting on her current state, Dikeh shared: “I am 40 years old, and I can tell you I have never known peace until now. I am living in it.” She concluded by attributing the start of her smoking habit to her father, saying: “Something as little as that habit can inhabit the lives of your children.”
Peller is Very Irresponsible – VDM Condemns TikTok Star’s Alleged Suicide Attempt
Social commentator VeryDarkMan (VDM) has condemned TikTok star Peller’s alleged suicide attempt, which reportedly followed a breakup with his girlfriend, Jarvis. The incident came to light after videos circulated online showing Peller in visible distress inside his newly purchased Mercedes-Benz following a crash. Unconfirmed reports suggested the crash occurred after a heated argument with Jarvis. Responding to the situation, VDM described Peller’s actions as “irresponsible and reckless,” stressing that relationship issues should never escalate to self-harm, especially for someone with a large public following. He warned that such behaviour could send the wrong message to young fans and urged Jarvis to distance herself from the unfolding situation. VDM also highlighted the emotional toll these incidents can have on family members and supporters, noting that public figures carry an added responsibility due to their visibility and influence. The episode has sparked widespread online debate, focusing on mental health awareness, accountability, and the pressures faced by young social media influencers. “Peller is a very irresponsible boy” – Verydarkman pic.twitter.com/0mfzmuF8Eg — 𝔸b𝕒𝕫𝕫 (@abazwhyllzz) December 15, 2025
Hospital Video of Peller and Girlfriend Jarvis Sparks Backlash After Suicide Attempt
A hospital video featuring popular streamer Peller and his girlfriend, Jarvis, has triggered intense backlash online, with many viewers expressing shock and concern over the tone of the clip. The footage surfaced days after Peller reportedly attempted suicide and was involved in a car crash, prompting questions about his state of mind and whether it was appropriate to appear playful so soon after the incident. In the video, Peller is seen lying on a hospital bed, joking about feeling unusual and leaning on Jarvis for support. Jarvis responds by teasing and lightly scolding him, which quickly turns into shared laughter between the couple. However, the moment has not gone down well with many social media users. Critics described the exchange as insensitive, arguing that the situation called for sobriety rather than humour. Several commenters accused Peller of trivialising a serious issue and using the moment to attract sympathy or attention. Others turned their criticism toward Jarvis, questioning her reaction and suggesting she did not appear to be treating his mental health struggles with the seriousness they deserve. The video has since fueled broader conversations online about mental health awareness, responsibility, and how public figures handle sensitive personal crises in the public eye.

FRSC to Prosecute TikTok Star Peller for Reckless Driving
The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, has raised alarm over a rising trend of reckless road use by celebrities, content creators, and social media influencers, warning that such behaviour endangers lives and undermines road safety initiatives. The warning follows a widely circulated video showing popular TikTok creator Habeeb Hamzat, known as Peller, live-streaming while driving, an act that reportedly caused a road traffic crash. In a statement signed by FRSC spokesperson Olusegun Ogungbemide on Monday, Mohammed condemned the behaviour as unlawful and dangerous, noting that it could have resulted in loss of lives. He said the incident “serves as a grim reminder that fame does not confer immunity from the law, nor does it excuse dangerous behaviour on public roads.” Mohammed stressed that “live streaming, content creation, recording or engaging in any activity that distracts a driver while driving is a direct violation of established road traffic regulations and poses grave danger not only to the driver but to other innocent road users.” He added that such actions undermine national efforts aimed at reducing road traffic crashes and fatalities. Consequently, he directed the Lagos State Sector Commander of the FRSC to initiate prosecution against the individual involved, citing “reckless driving, use of phone while driving, and distracted driving, in accordance with extant traffic laws.” The corps marshal also called on professional bodies and entertainment industry groups to take responsibility for their members. He urged actors guilds, entertainment associations, influencer networks, and content creator communities to enforce responsible behaviour on Nigerian roads. Mohammed emphasised that celebrities and influencers, who wield significant influence over young Nigerians, “must be seen as ambassadors of safety, not symbols of recklessness.” Warning of strict enforcement, he said the FRSC “will not hesitate to apply the full weight of the law against any individual, celebrity or otherwise, found engaging in distracted or reckless driving.” He stressed that “no social media content, online trend or momentary clout is worth a human life.” He further reminded motorists that “public roads are not studios, stages or streaming platforms,” describing them as shared spaces governed by laws designed to preserve lives. Mohammed encouraged Nigerians to report dangerous driving behaviours and support collective efforts to make roads safer. The FRSC reaffirmed its commitment to safer highways, stating that road safety “remains a shared responsibility that requires discipline, restraint, and respect for the law by all road users, without exception.”

Tonto Dikeh has given fans a glimpse of her lavish Christmas décor in a festive video, announcing that she and her son, King Andrew, are fully set for the season. Beyond the decorations, the actress shared a reflective message on the spiritual essence of Christmas, pointing to the birth of Jesus as the ultimate proof of God’s love.
