    “I will forever regret how I allowed them to use me against you” – Sarah Martins apologizes to May Edochie, offers her advice following emotional speech at a recent event

    Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has reached out to May Edochie, the estranged wife of Judy Austin, following her emotional speech in Qatar.

    Kemi Filani reported that May left many women in tears as she spoke about her son’s death at the NHN Women Network Conference, in Doha, Qatar, where she had everyone emotional. May spoke on the death of her first son, Kambilichukwu, while she was going through a public divorce, which left not only her but many women, including actress Shaffy Bello, in tears.

    Reacting to it in a post on her Instagram page, Sarah told May to allow Yul suffer with who he thought was better than her. She noted how May has proven to the world she was the lucky charm behind his lost glory.

    Sarah admonished May to focus on her unapologetically as she noted how she is strong and made for greatness. Sarah further stated that she will forever regret how she allowed them to use her against her.

    “Sis, let that man suffer with who he thought was better than you.

    You’ve proven to the world you were the lucky charm behind his lost glory…

    Now it’s time to focus on you unapologetically!!!
    You’re a strong woman, and you’re made for greatness.

    I will forever regret how I allowed them to use me against you… please forgive me”.

    Sarah wasn’t the only one who reacted to the emotional video. Yul Edochie Aunty Rita Edochie noted how women are strong pillars. However, May has proved to be a shining example of resilience and strength. Rita stated that May’s determination and passion inspire her and countless others. She prayed that God would continue to be the mother of 3 strengths as she encouraged May to continue inspiring and lifting souls.

Feeling betrayed by Sarah’s behaviour, Judy had not only unfollowed her but had taken down all posts relating to Sarah on her Instagram page. Following their fallout, Sarah accused Judy of owing her N1 million and had shared some secrets about her former friend.

    Weeks after their fallout, Sarah counted her blessings as she revealed that the day she stopped entertaining the couple, she realised she had important personalities following her, leading her to make more money.

    In May, Sarah had sent a message to Judy Austin about the detriment of stealing people’s husbands. She lectured the second wife of Yul Edochie that stealing people’s husbands can’t help her and made her know that it isn’t by answering Ijele Odogwu as it can’t help her.

    Also in May, Sarah had lashed out at a male troll who slammed her over her support for Paul Okoye’s second marriage. The troll had called her out over her hypocrisy of supporting Paul, yet dragging Yul. Hitting back, Sarah slammed him for comparing Paul to Yul as she noted how Yul publicly ridiculed and disgarced his first wife, May.

     

  • “I have been in this game before you, stop trying to gatekeep Igbo culture” – KCee replies Flavour for shading him over his new song

    “I have been in this game before you, stop trying to gatekeep Igbo culture” – KCee replies Flavour for shading him over his new song

    Nigerian singer Kingsley Okonkwo, better known as KCee, has replied to his colleague, Harrysong, for shading him over his new music.

    Kemi Filani reported some days back that Flavour had thrown shade at KCee. He shared an angry post calling out KCee for copying him. Though he didn’t mention his name, it was obvious, he was referring to him.

    One social media user, identified as Maria Use Nwachi, alleged that Flavour wasn’t happy with KCee and his elder brother, E-Money, because they did something a bit desperate. He revealed that Flavour and Phyno did a song with Theresa Onuoha, and immediately, KCee learned of it; he allegedly went to do a song with her and scheduled a date of release before that of Phyno and Flavour.

    Another had claimed that KCee was fond of sampling Flavour’s song.

    Now replying to him on Monday night, KCee told the singer to stop trying to gatekeep Igbo culture as he isn’t a custodian. KCee noted how he has been in the game before him and it belongs to everyone. He reminded Flavour that he doesn’t owe any genre of music as he made him know that his music celebrates his heritage.

    “I’ve never been the type to go head to head, but I’m calling out this bullshit because I won’t be disrespected…

    No way… I’ve come too far for anyone to downplay my sweats and hard work

    HELL NO!!!!”.

    “Stop trying to gatekeep Igbo culture. You’re not a Custodian.
    I’ve been in this game before you
    It belongs to all.
    You don’t own this genre of music.
    My music celebrates our heritage, and I won’t apologize.
    In an ocean of things that matter. You’re like a needle.

    Get that right”.

    “BRO!!!!!! We are not on the same level

    Pick your Battles carefully”.

    This isn’t the first time KCee has been accused of copying people’s music. Early this year, a fan of Olamide’s record label, YBNL had called out KCee for sampling Olamide and Asake’s “Amapiano” in his song. The fan noted how Olamide had always been elevating Igbo artists as she bragged about his extraordinary influence on them.

    “The old rules no longer apply, just sue your opps to court and take their money” – Burna Boy shares some words of advice

    Grammy award-winning music star Burna Boy has shared a word of advice to those with opponents.

    Taking to his Instagram story to share a photo of him smiling with his crew, he said the streets ain’t what they used to be as the old rules no longer apply. He stated that the way he sees things, everyone is a civilian now.

    The ‘Like To Party’ singer added that there is no more sliding as he advised people with opponents to sue them in court and take their money.

    “The streets ain’t what it used to be. The old rules no longer apply. The way I see it, Everybody is a civilian now.

    No more sliding. Just sue your opps to court and take their money”.

    This is coming two weeks after Burna Boy filed a petition against rapper, Speed Darlington for alleged cyberstalking. The rapper was taken to Abuja where he was detained by the IRT team. Darlington’s mother alleged that Burna Boy and his team were responsible for her son’s arrest, and begged the Grammy singer to release her son.

    After spending 3 days in detention, Speed Darlington was released on bail after meeting conditions stipulated by the police at the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team’s Department in the Guzape Area of Abuja.

    Last week, Burna Boy lashed out at a tweep who linked him to American rapper and businessman Diddy. The singer, who had close ties with the disgraced rapper, had tweeted that he was going to Obi’s house, and a tweep had questioned if it wasn’t Diddy’s house he was going to. Burna responded, telling him to show his face so he could easily trace his house.

    Just recently, Burna Boy had bragged about being richer than many of the people he once looked up to as he reflected on his journey. He stated that he imagined growing up only politicians and oil men were the ones getting real money, followed by the G boys. He noted how music wasn’t even in the conversation when money was the topic.

    Fast forward to now, he has got more money than 90% of the people he once looked up to as money makers. Using this as a motivational message, he admonished his fans never to look down on any as they could be the next Elon Musk. Compose MessageCompose MessageCompose Message

    Some weeks back, he had revealed some jaw-dropping revelations about himself, revealing that the new him misses the old him. He expressed how bewildered he was that the old him couldn’t even understand the new him and thought the new him was Soft for not being so angry all the time.

    Back in July, Burna Boy issued a public service announcement to Nigerians, making it known that he doesn’t use songwriters as any name people see credited on his songs are only producers of the songs or featured artists, not writers. He noted how the Western world considers producers as writers of the instrumentals, and they throw their names on there as writers. Calling himself an Odogwu, Burna made it known that nobody writes for him.

  • “You are all online noisemakers, you don’t say anything when you see him” – Israel DMW slams Samklef, others over the disrespect on Davido

    “You are all online noisemakers, you don’t say anything when you see him” – Israel DMW slams Samklef, others over the disrespect on Davido

    Israel DMW, the logistics manager to music star Davido,, has slammed Samklef and others over their opinion on the constant disrespect to Davido.

    On Monday, Davido was called out by a Nigerian YouTuber, Korty EO, who expressed displeasure over how she had asked for permission to re-edit an old interview with Davido, which his team agreed to post for her. However, things did not go as planned after they reneged on their word, which prompted her to vent out on social media.

    Weighing into it, popular skit maker Nasty Blaq cried out over the constant disrespect to the music star. He noted how Davido just wants to help people and yet gets disrespected.

    Reacting to Nasty’s tweet, Samklef noted how Olamide has helped more people in the industry than Davido, yet doesn’t get disrespected. He said the singer brought it to himself as he is always trying to look good in the eyes of everybody. Admonishing the singer to stop playing victims, he claimed that Davido helps people based on expectations and control.

    Taking to a blog’s comment section, Israel DMW called Samklef and others online noise makers, as he noted how they can’t say anything when they see Davido.

    “You all are online noise makers. They don’t say anything when they see Oga”.

    Recall that Samklef fell out with Davido in October, 2023 after the singer accused him of leaking photos of his wife, Chioma, and their twins, which Samklef denied. Angered by Davido’s action, Samklef had taken several shots at Davido, over accusations of him owing people, referring to Davido as “owe owe 1,” a play on Davido’s signature “001”, indirectly labeling him as a beggar and advised him to look up to his rival, Wizkid.

    Samklef even went as low as comparing the music star to Portable’s former signee, Yung Dee, and gave him further suggestions.

    Surprisingly, he appeared to have ended his feud with Davido, as he called on him to start making amends and apologize to those he’s allegedly wronged. Samklef pointed out that Davido had once publicly insulted his uncle, Dele Momodu, because of a financial dispute. He also accused Davido of accepting money from the NFF chairman while continuing to taunt and belittle the eldërly man and more.

    “Make your man your bestfriend” Singer Portable tells his wife amid recent online saga with 4th baby mama, Ashabi.

    The recent video of the 4th baby mama Ashabi has gotten the singer angry as she tagged herself blessed, happy, determined, grateful, and peaceful woman.

He further mentioned that she used him and her leg couldn’t stay in a place.

    This also got the baby mama angry as she started going back and forth with him. It is not a new thing that the songer Portable is a troublesome person, as he currently has a beef going on with the activist VDM.

    In a screenshot shared by the singer on his Instagram story, the singer’s legal wife can be seen begging on behalf of the 4th baby mama’s behalf as the singer advises her to stay away from the baby mama with the notion that anytime they hang out together, she always ends up having problems with him.

    Further into the chat, he advised the wife to run from Ashabi because she is wicked, also give him a chance and stop having issues with him and make him (her man) her best friend
