The video featured Prophet Odumeje, a celebrity clergy and musician, dressed in a shiny red two-piece outfit, confidently listing his numerous powers while Flavour encouraged him.

Wizkid’s expression of admiration for Indaboski prompted fans to share additional Odumeje videos, which he then responded to and shared again.

Wizkid Sparks Outrage with his Comment Labeling Don Jazzy; Influencer https://blasturban983fm.com/wizkid-sparks-outrage-with-his-comment-labeling-don-jazzy-influencer/ https://blasturban983fm.com/wizkid-sparks-outrage-with-his-comment-labeling-don-jazzy-influencer/#respond Mon, 29 Apr 2024 14:54:35 +0000 https://blasturban983fm.com/?p=6335 Wizkid’s conversation with his supporters has swiftly devolved into something odious with his few jabs at Davido, Ladipoe and Don Jazzy.

Early on April 29, 2024, Wizkid took to his X account to connect with his followers whereas doing so, he came across a post by Ladipoe which he contributed.

In the post, Ladipoe stated that Afrobeats is going through a phase of “Afrobeats is dead,” whereas Hip Hop has survived the “Hip Hop is dead” narrative.

In his comment meant to make fun of Mavin Record’s label head Don Jazzy, Wizkid responded by saying he never speaks to any musician that is signed by an influencer.
A lot of people reacted negatively to Wizkid’s statement since he called Don Jazzy an influencer.

Don Jazzy is one of the biggest on the continent and has accomplished remarkable milestones as a label head in the history of Afrobeats.
Despite being an influencer, he still supports musicians and content markers on his Instagram profile.

From his triumph with Mo’hit to his achievements with two generations of Mavin musicians, Don Jazzy has been one of the most influential producers and label owners in Nigerian music since 2004.

The largest record label in the world, Universal Music Group, just purchased Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records for an alleged sum of more than $150 million.

Since Wizkid is notorious for remaining silent, it is noteworthy when he publishes frequently.

The renowned Musician also sparked a huge controversy a few months ago when he publicly distanced himself from Afrobeats and advised fans of the genre to stay away from his next album, “Morayo.”

Wizkid Teases Davido as he encourages Fans to Plead for Fresh Music Release https://blasturban983fm.com/wizkid-teases-davido-as-he-encourages-fans-to-plead-for-fresh-music-release/ https://blasturban983fm.com/wizkid-teases-davido-as-he-encourages-fans-to-plead-for-fresh-music-release/#respond Mon, 29 Apr 2024 11:43:43 +0000 https://blasturban983fm.com/?p=6332 Wizkid briefly appeared on X in the early hours of April 29, 2024, where he interacted with the fans and made fun of Davido.

Wizkid remarked in a post on his X account that he has a lot on his mind every day, but he won’t say anything because of how poorly he will be able to say it.

“Every day I get things to say but my mouth no good,” the tweet reads.

Under the tweet, a fan asked him to release new music to which Wizkid replied “Is it by force?” Another fan replied, “Yes na by force, biggest bird.”

Wizkid responded to the request for new music in an unexpected and hilarious way by pleading with his fans to beg him, using Davido’s previously viral sobbing video as an example of how he wants to be begged.

“Beg me like this. Send video,” Wizkid posted alongside the viral video of Davido crying.

Fans were startled by Wizkid’s harsh trolling of Davido, as was to be expected, and they responded to the post accordingly.
Several onlookers have speculated about the tweet, asking if there is resentment between the celebrities who partied together in December 2023, Davido even revealed Wizkid’s new album on his X account.

On the other hand, some onlookers choose to see Wizkid’s post as friendly banter rather than an attack of trolling.

Wizkid also showed his admiration for Nigerian singer and popular pastor Prophet Odumeje.

Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, a Nigerian Afrobeats superstar has declared that there are “no more big three,” placing himself in the same category as Burna Boy, Wizkid and Davido.

In a long Twitter post on Saturday, April 28, 2024, the renowned singer talked about different topics around Afrobeats.

Burna Boy, Wizkid and Davido in no specific order are referred to as the “big three” of the Nigerian music Industry and this is because of their significant accomplishments both domestically and longevity.

But as he implied in his tweet, “No more Big 3, there’s now a Big 4,” Rem thought he was deserving of the same title.

However, Rema continued to criticize some of his colleagues.
Obviously referencing the recent debate over the claims made by Wizkid, Burna Boy, Wizkid and Fireboy that their music isn’t Afrobeats, the superstar musician wrote in a follow-up tweet, “Afrobeats >> AfroAnything,”

“Tell your stylists to stop sending mails to brands with my name to get clothes imma pull up to your show and strip u on stage cuz that’s my shit HOE! fake celebrities, fake industry”, Rema said in another post.

“Labels get creative, stop trying to clone me,” the singer said as he sent a message to some record labels, who are trying to model their artists after him.”

Nigerian Actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday says Pastor Indaboski Odumeje is not fake https://blasturban983fm.com/nigerian-actress-nkechi-blessing-sunday-says-pastor-indaboski-odumeje-is-not-fake/ https://blasturban983fm.com/nigerian-actress-nkechi-blessing-sunday-says-pastor-indaboski-odumeje-is-not-fake/#respond Fri, 26 Apr 2024 13:51:17 +0000 https://blasturban983fm.com/?p=6323  

It is nothing new for celebrities and influential spiritual leaders to openly discuss God’s blessings in their lives.
The well-known influencer Nkechi Blessing is the most recent celebrity to share her account with a spiritual leader.

The influencer opens up about her experience with Chukwuemeka Cyril Ohanaemere, the pastor also known online as Indaboski or Odumeje, in a recent interview.

She revealed during the interview that she was taken aback by what Odumeje had said about her during their first meeting- information that, she said, had never been made public.

“The first time I had an encounter with Odumeje I was shocked to my bone marrow. The man will tell you everything about your life. He’s not just telling you, he’s giving you the solution,” Blessing said. “It is not normal things that are on the internet. He is a true man of God. I am saying it here categorically.”

Following Uriel’s question about his ability to heal, Blessing responded, “One hundred percent.”

Uriel questioned further about Odumeje’s negative online reputation as a fake pastor, to which Blessing responded that it was due to his poor spoken English.

“Because of the fact that he does not know how to communicate well in good English does not make him a fake pastor,” she said.

BBNaija Star, Tasha slams Nigerians for being hypocrites. https://blasturban983fm.com/bbnaija-star-tasha-slams-nigerians-for-being-hypocrites/ https://blasturban983fm.com/bbnaija-star-tasha-slams-nigerians-for-being-hypocrites/#respond Fri, 26 Apr 2024 11:19:13 +0000 https://blasturban983fm.com/?p=6320  

Former BBNaija housemate, Tasha has criticized Nigerians on social media for what she sees as biased indignation about bullying.

Following the release of a video showing students at Lead British International School in Abuja bullying a kid and the ensuring anger it ignited, Tacha took to her X account on April 23, 2024, to share her thoughts.

She addressed social media users in the uploaded video, emphasizing that many of the same people demanding justice in the viral bullying incident were also quick to condemn, and might have been bullies in their high school years too.

“This thing with Nigerians and selective outrage is something that I would never understand. All of a sudden everyone is acting brand new screaming ‘justice for…’ since yesterday and today, as if you guys were not bullies back in secondary school. Or as if you guys did not watch your friend bully junior students for doing absolutely nothing or seizing their food.”

She added, “You people wake up and bully celebrities unprovoked and insult them and nobody says anything. Is that not bullying? Are you not bullies yourselves? Justice for you! Justice for Tacha too that you people would insult unprovoked. Even the person that they are owing over a million naira, no outrage because it’s someone that you don’t like. Hypocrites! Don’t come and be disturbing this timeline with justice for…'” she concluded.

Davido reveals why his Dad finally allow him pursue music https://blasturban983fm.com/davido-reveals-why-his-dad-finally-allow-him-pursue-music/ https://blasturban983fm.com/davido-reveals-why-his-dad-finally-allow-him-pursue-music/#respond Fri, 26 Apr 2024 11:17:17 +0000 https://blasturban983fm.com/?p=6317 During a recent interview, Davido talked about his early career and how he eventually gained his father’s blessing to do music.

The Nigerian Musician recounted the infamous story of how against the wishes of his father, he left studying in Atlanta to pursue his musical career in Nigeria, which ultimately resulted in his father having him imprisoned.

“I don’t think he didn’t want me to do music, he just wanted me to be successful as whatever I did because he got a blueprint for me already,” Davido spoke about his father’s initial disapproval of his desire to pursue music.

“He’s so supportive and he checks on everything…My dad picks my album. When I am done, I send him all the tracks and my dad goes through all the records and gives me a paragraph each,” Davido describes how his father now shows him genuine interest and encouragement.

He laughed as he shared the story of how he returned to Nigeria against his father’s will and was arrested by his father after performing for the first time at the age of 17. “My dad gave me the name Davido…The first show I did, he arrested me, the fans, the promoters,”  He also went on to talk about how his father insisted that he complete his education. “He just wanted me to finish school,”

When asked when his father realized that his music was becoming popular, the three-time Grammy nominee said it was when the president used his hit song “Dami Duro” as his ringtone.
Davido said; “When my song was the president’s ringtone,”

Although he made no mention of the president or the nation, Davido is probably referring to the former Nigerian President Good luck Jonathan, who presided over the country from 2010 to 2015.

Davido also discussed his intentions as a businessman outside of music during the interview.
He disclosed that he owned Coco House; a production company that he describes as a media outlet for creatives.
He also mentioned his intention to enter the cryptocurrency space.

Davido’s Music producer Napji cry out about Unpaid royalties https://blasturban983fm.com/davidos-music-producer-napji-cry-out-about-unpaid-royalties/ https://blasturban983fm.com/davidos-music-producer-napji-cry-out-about-unpaid-royalties/#respond Wed, 24 Apr 2024 12:45:07 +0000 https://blasturban983fm.com/?p=6314 Napji, the producer who has produced three tracks, including the huge hit song “FEM,” of Davido’s third album “A Better Time,” is complaining about unpaid publishing and royalties.

On April 22, 2024, Napji claimed in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account that he received 500,000 Naira apiece for producing the songs “FEM,” “Jowo,” and “Sunlight” off Davido’s 2920 album ” A Better Time.”

The producer of all three of the tracks, Napji, acknowledged that he had not yet received his royalties or publication but pledged to provide additional details as he worked to obtain them.

“I am Napji, producer behind Fem, Jowo and sunlight on @davido album (A better time).Which was released 13th November 2020. I was paid an advance of 500 thousand naira for each of the songs. I will be releasing more information as I seek to collect my royalties & publishing,” the tweet reads.

One of the album’s lead hits, “FEM,” went on to become a big hit and one of the anthems during the 2020 #ENDSARS nationwide protest.

On YouTube, the song has received over 33 million plays, while on Spotify, it has about 10 million plays.

With over 53 million views on YouTube and 26 million Spotify plays, “Jowo” was also a commercial win.

Following industry standards, Napji is entitled to a 50% publishing right on the song, which means he will receive a portion of the streaming earnings the song has accumulated over time.

In response to Napji’s allegation that he is entitled to outstanding royalties, the Grammy-nominated superstar, Davido posted “Ur Papa” in response to Napji’s post on X.

Although Napji’s claim is unclear based on Davido’s tweet, it is anticipated that additional information will become apparent when Napji releases the material he had promised in order to pursue publication and royalty claims.
