Nigerian singer Akinmayokun Awodumila, popularly known as Mr May D, is trending on social media following a heated exchange that started after his recent performance at an event in Lagos.

Tufab, a close associate of Wizkid, fueled the drama with a mocking tweet that read: “For May D mind he dey perform for 02 Arena. Sold Out.” Though the post was later deleted, it had already stirred backlash.

Popular DJ Neptune came to May D’s defense, criticizing Tufab for belittling an artist earning a living through his craft. “Your fellow man is hustling legally for his daily bread with his God-given talent, and this is what you have to say? Everything shouldn’t be for cruise. E red today, no mean say e no go green tomorrow. SMH,” he tweeted.

Sigh! Your fellow man is hustling legally for his daily bread with his God-given talent, and this is what you have to say? Everything shouldn't be for cruise. E red today, no mean say e no go green tomorrow. SMH https://t.co/hBEn6yxDC1

Rapper Skales also weighed in, dragging Tufab for trolling artists online. He described him as “an old man, probably almost 40, who has no real job but spends time insulting people like he’s in his early 20s.”

Tufab is an old man prolly almost 40 that comes online to troll nighas but has no real job with his ugly scar face … what he does online is what someone that’s in their early 20’s do .. ass kisser .. beggy beggy … insulting artiste as if you have achieved anything for yourself…

— SKALES (@youngskales) September 17, 2025

The back-and-forth didn’t stop there, as Tufab clapped back at Skales, further fueling the online chaos.

Meanwhile, Mr May D himself broke his silence through an Instagram Story, defending his Lagos street audience. “Those guys are human too, you all should shut up,” he wrote, addressing those mocking his performance.

Nigerian singer Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has sent out a powerful message to his followers, calling on them to break free from cycles of negative self-talk shaped by childhood experiences.

Taking to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, the Akpako Master addressed critics who often flood his comment section with discouraging remarks. According to him, those words are less about personal opinion and more about deep-rooted conditioning from upbringing.

“Our Nigerian parents really do many of us strong thing,” Terry G began. He explained that when people say things like “you’ll never make it” or “you can’t do this,” they’re often repeating the same discouraging words they grew up hearing at home.

He added that such ingrained negativity is why many people remain stuck in failure as adults. “It’s time to break that cycle. It’s time to change that mindset,” he urged.

Terry G’s message struck a chord as both a reality check and a call to self-awareness. Beyond his energetic performances and street-pop anthems, the singer has shown a growing interest in inspiring fans to confront personal struggles and pursue positive change.

Though he has kept much of his private life away from the spotlight in recent years, Terry G continues to stay active musically, collaborating with emerging talents and experimenting with new sounds. While fans wait for his next release, his recent words serve as a timely reminder that personal transformation begins with shifting one’s mindset.

The music industry has been thrown into mourning following the death of Grammy Award-winning producer Sidney Omen Brown, who passed away at the age of 49.

According to reports from TMZ, Brown’s body was discovered on September 13, 2025, in his Harlem apartment. His death came to light after a colleague raised concern when he failed to show up for work, prompting his family to check on him. The New York City medical examiner is expected to conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death, which remains unknown at this time.

Omen Brown was a highly respected figure in global music, known for shaping the sound of some of the world’s biggest artists. Over the years, he worked closely with Beyoncé, contributing to her 2013 track Mine featuring Drake, as well as her groundbreaking 2016 album Lemonade, particularly on songs like Hold Up and Sorry. He also collaborated with Drake on Shut It Down in 2009, co-wrote and produced Tell It Like It Is for Ludacris on the Grammy-winning album Release Therapy, and added his touch to Rihanna’s chart-topping hit Work from her 2016 album Anti. His influence further extended to The Weeknd and Lil Wayne, with his ability to fuse genres leaving a lasting mark on the industry.

Beyond his music career, Brown valued education deeply. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Music from Amherst College in 2013 before pursuing a Master’s degree in Theological Studies at Boston University, which he completed in 2016.

Brown, the son of Martha Brown, leaves behind a legacy of innovation, versatility, and inspiration that spanned more than two decades. His unexpected passing has left both fans and colleagues reflecting on the powerful imprint he made on modern music.

Nigerian rap star Odumodublvck has confirmed that fans will finally get their first official look at his highly anticipated project, The Machine Is Here, this Friday, September 19, 2025.

The rapper, also known as Big Kala, made the announcement on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, through a personal letter and a press release he shared on X (formerly Twitter). The post, titled "A Letter from Kala – Industry Machine", carried both his reflections on the past year and an official statement from his labels, NATIVE Records and Def Jam Recordings.

In the heartfelt letter, Odumodublvck looked back on a whirlwind 12 months of touring, success, and awards. “What a year it has been. I’ve been all over the world, spreading the gospel of the machine. From Yaounde, Cameroon, to Stockholm, Sweden. From Unilag to Seattle. AbuaD to Paris. Stages to schools. Another number one mixtape. Another number one single. Bagged 2 more Headies Awards. All of this is possible through the grace of God & all of your support. Thank you for the patience,” he wrote.

He ended the message with the big reveal: “I am happy to announce that on September 19th, you will see the first look of the machine. They cannot stop us. The machine is finally here.”

This latest update comes after months of speculation about the project. Earlier this year, Odumodublvck dropped The Machine Is Coming, a mixtape that built momentum for the new release. His breakthrough 2023 project, Eziokwu, earned him widespread recognition and two Headies awards, cementing his place as one of Nigeria’s most exciting rap voices.

The new album is expected to feature collaborations with global stars including Davido, Skepta, and Stormzy, details that have only heightened fans’ anticipation.

With just two days until the first glimpse, excitement is at an all-time high. For Odumodublvck, who has spent the year moving from local stages to international arenas, The Machine Is Here marks the next step in his fast-rising career.

When Adekunle Gold released his debut album Gold on July 28, 2016, it was more than just another project from an emerging artist, it was a cultural statement.

At a time when Nigerian pop music leaned heavily into club hits and dancefloor bangers, Gold introduced something different: a warm, nostalgic blend of Highlife, Afro-soul, and Folk, wrapped in soothing vocals and honest storytelling.

Today, Adekunle Gold is a global Afrobeats powerhouse, known for his boundary-pushing sound, bold fashion choices, and his suave alter ego AG Baby. But before all the glitz and global features, there was Gold, a deeply personal, sonically rich album that laid the foundation for everything that followed.

As Adekunle Gold debut album, Gold clocks nine years, here are 9 things you might have forgotten about this iconic project.

1. Before the music, he was the “King of Photoshop”

9 YEARS AGO TODAY@adekunleGOLD dropped his amazing debut album

The project featured amazing songs & hits like "Orente", "No Forget Ft Simi", "Pick Up", "Ready", "Sade" and more

What's your favourite song? pic.twitter.com/3ZuSnsQ2km

— NOTJUSTOK (@NOTJUSTOK) July 28, 2025

Long before he became a household name in music, Adekunle Gold was an internet sensation for an entirely different reason, graphic design. He earned the nickname “King of Photoshop” after his hilarious, well-edited pictures of himself alongside celebrities like Tiwa Savage went viral.

But this wasn’t just random internet fun. Adekunle Gold studied Graphics at Lagos State Polytechnic and used his skills in visual storytelling to build an audience before his musical breakthrough. That background in creativity and aesthetics would later influence his album artwork, branding, and visuals, all of which became central to his identity as an artist.

2. Sade was actually a One Direction cover

Yes, you read that right. The song that put Adekunle Gold on the map, Sade, was a Highlife cover of One Direction’s Story of My Life. But what made it special was the way he localized the song’s emotion and lyrics, transforming it into a tale of unrequited love that resonated deeply with Nigerian audiences.

Released independently before he joined YBNL Nation, Sade quickly went viral, showcasing his ability to fuse Western melodies with indigenous storytelling, a trademark that would carry through to Gold.

3. Gold dropped earlier than planned

10 years ago today, I released the greatest cover of all time; Sade. pic.twitter.com/I5F1rM92Yz

— BIG FISH (@adekunleGOLD) December 19, 2024

While the official release date for Gold was July 28, 2016, the album actually dropped three days earlier, on July 25. The early release was a pleasant surprise for fans who had been eagerly anticipating Adekunle Gold’s first full-length body of work, and it sparked a wave of online excitement.

In an era when surprise drops weren’t as common as they are today, this unexpected move gave Gold a boost in visibility and fan engagement right out of the gate.

4. Simi’s quiet but powerful contribution

While fans were still speculating about the nature of Adekunle Gold and Simi’s relationship in 2016, few knew just how involved she was in the Gold project. Not only did Simi master several tracks on the album, but she was also the only featured artist on the project.

Her duet with Adekunle on No Forget was a standout moment, an emotionally stirring ballad that many interpreted as autobiographical. The chemistry between the two was undeniable, and looking back now, it feels like an early chapter in a love story that eventually became public and permanent.

5. A Billboard debut

In a remarkable feat for a debut album, Gold peaked at #7 on the Billboard World Albums Chart in August 2016, a huge accomplishment for a Nigerian artist at the time, especially one working with such a non-commercial sound. The achievement validated not just Adekunle Gold’s talent, but the potential global reach of Nigerian folk-inspired music. It was a signal that “urban highlife,” as he called it, had international appeal.

6. The dream team behind the sound

Though Gold sounded refreshingly different, its magic came from a carefully curated production team. The album featured the work of top Nigerian producers like Pheelz, Masterkraft, B Banks, Oscar Heman-Ackah, Seyi Keyz, and Sleekamo.

Each producer brought something unique to the table, helping Adekunle blend traditional instruments with contemporary sounds. This tight-knit group was key in developing the album’s sonic identity, an identity that would define his early years and distinguish him from the crowd.

7. The 79th Element - A band born from Gold

What are your fave tracks? Share stories if you have any. I’m reading everything. pic.twitter.com/7ZbZDGEAeG

— BIG FISH (@adekunleGOLD) July 25, 2024

Following the expiration of his deal with YBNL Nation, Adekunle Gold announced a new musical chapter with the formation of his live band, The 79th Element. For fans of the periodic table, that name held symbolic weight, gold is the 79th element.

This wasn’t just a clever name. It was a declaration of independence and a commitment to live performance and musical authenticity. Gold wasn’t just a debut album; it was the birth of an identity that Adekunle would continue to evolve and refine with every release.

8. Gold was a darling among critics and award shows

Upon release, Gold received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and fans alike. Reviewers praised its honesty, consistency, and Adekunle’s ability to tell relatable stories through simple but powerful lyrics.

The album earned a nomination for Album of the Year at the 2017 Nigeria Entertainment Awards and was also nominated at The Headies 2018 for Best R&B/Pop Album and Album of the Year. For a debut project, these nods were a reflection of its staying power.

9. At its core, Gold was about life’s simple struggles and triumphs

What made Gold truly special was its ability to connect with everyday Nigerians. The album was full of universal themes; love (Orente, No Forget), hustle (Pick Up, Work), hope (Fight for You), and cultural pride (Temptation).

In Pick Up, for example, Adekunle sings a prayer disguised as a pop song asking God to bless his hustle and answer his calls (literally and metaphorically). In Work, he reminds listeners that wishes don’t come true without effort. These messages, wrapped in soft guitar strings and rhythmic percussion, made Gold feel personal, even spiritual.

Nine years later, Gold still holds a special place in the hearts of fans. It wasn’t flashy or overly polished, it was honest, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in Nigerian culture. It announced Adekunle Gold not just as a talented musician, but as an artist with vision, heart, and staying power.

In a music industry often driven by trends, Gold was timeless. And in many ways, it still is.

Afrobeats star Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has sparked fresh buzz online after being spotted in Beverly Hills, California, walking hand-in-hand with an unidentified woman.

On July 7, 2023, Houston declared Davido Day, and here are 7 reasons why he deserved the honor.

On July 7, 2023, the City of Houston, Texas, officially declared Davido Day, a remarkable recognition of Nigerian Afrobeats superstar David Adedeji Adeleke, popularly known as Davido. This civic honor, signed by Mayor Sylvester Turner, was far more than a ceremonial gesture; it represented a genuine acknowledgement of Davido’s profound influence on global music, culture, and the African diaspora.

For many within Houston’s diverse population and the wider African community across the United States, this declaration was a significant moment of pride.

Below are 7 clear and compelling reasons why Davido rightfully earned this distinction.

— Davido (@davido) July 8, 2023

One of the immediate justifications for this honor was Davido’s sold-out performance at the Toyota Center in Houston on July 7, 2023, during his Timeless Tour. Selling out a major arena of this magnitude is a significant achievement for any artist, and even more so for an Afrobeats star performing in a U.S. city. This accomplishment demonstrated his immense popularity and commercial draw, further confirming his cultural relevance in a city known for its large African diaspora.

2. A global Afrobeats ambassador

Davido has been instrumental in the rise of Afrobeats as a global genre. His distinctive fusion of Afrobeats with pop, R&B, and dancehall has introduced African music to audiences around the world. Houston, as one of the most culturally diverse cities in the United States, has long embraced international sounds, and Davido’s contributions have significantly enhanced the visibility of African music and creatives within the city and beyond. His success continues to pave the way for emerging talents from the continent.

3. Record-breaking chart success

Do you know?

Davido’s 2017 single “Fall” became the longest-charting Nigerian pop song in Billboard history, staying on the World Digital Song Sales chart for 59 weeks, peaking at No. 3. It significantly boosted his international recognition.

Throughout his career, Davido has consistently delivered chart-topping hits and achieved groundbreaking milestones. Notably, his track Fall became the longest-charting Nigerian pop song in Billboard history, while his albums A Better Time and Timeless both made international waves.

These records reflect his enduring appeal and commercial success, underscoring the global demand for his music.

4. A strong connection to the African diaspora in Houston

Houston is home to one of the largest African communities in the United States, and Davido, as a Nigerian-American artist, embodies a vital cultural link between Africa and its diaspora. His music resonates deeply with this community, addressing themes of identity, aspiration, and cultural pride. His concerts in Houston often serve as cultural gatherings that foster unity and celebration among Africans and African-Americans alike.

Through his Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) label, he has nurtured emerging talents, contributing to the expansion and diversification of the Afrobeats movement. He has also used his platform to raise awareness on social issues and human rights across Africa. For a city like Houston that prides itself on diversity and cultural impact, acknowledging an artist who represents both entertainment and advocacy was a meaningful decision.

6. Notable philanthropic efforts

While Davido’s charitable projects are more prominently documented in Nigeria, his reputation as a philanthropist has resonated globally. Through the Davido Adeleke Foundation, he has supported orphanages, healthcare initiatives, and youth development programs. His public commitment to giving back aligns with the community-driven spirit of cities like Houston, making him a deserving recipient of civic recognition for both his artistic and humanitarian contributions.

7. An inspiration for future generations

Nigerian dancehall singer Cynthia Morgan has reignited her long-standing feud with her former record label boss, Jude Okoye, in a fiery social media post.

She wrote: “Judeengees, all you've done since 2016 is talk behind my back. All efforts to see you in person have been to no avail. It is no news that I am disappointed in you, and I know you’re disappointed in yourself too… but you see, I know I had to reap my own destruction for sowing in flesh, and you too will reap yours for being an instrument and holding back such earnings through dishonesty. As we all know, God cannot be mocked.”

Cynthia Morgan’s post has since sparked fresh discussions on social media, with fans and industry observers weighing in on the renewed rift between the singer and her former label boss.

Veteran Nigerian music executive and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has shared honest thoughts about love, relationships, and his stance on monogamy.

In a recent interview with media personality Nancy Isime, the hitmaker admitted that he doesn’t see himself as someone built for a one-woman relationship.

Speaking candidly, Don Jazzy explained that while he admires people who can fully commit to one partner in relationships, he personally finds it difficult. He revealed that even when he’s involved with someone, his admiration for other women doesn’t fade, making it challenging for him to maintain a strictly monogamous relationship.

“I don’t believe I’m strong enough to be with one person,” he confessed. “I think people will run away from me for being this truthful. I won’t be in a relationship and pretend you’re the only one I find attractive. Some people, when they’re dating, the things that make them admire others get turned off, I really respect those people. But for me, it doesn’t work like that.”

Don Jazzy’s remarks have sparked conversations online, with fans praising his honesty while others debated the the issue amongst themselves.
