Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Terseer Waya, widely known as Kiddwaya, has announced his plans to venture into the music industry. The 31-year-old reality star revealed on his X handle that he intends to leverage his father's wealth to collaborate with top artists, saying, "Maybe I should enter this music business as well. Popsi is rich, so we go just hire the best of everyone. Make I kuku see wetin sup."

Kiddwaya’s decision to explore music follows a growing trend of Nigerian reality stars crossing over into the music scene after gaining fame from reality shows. He joins the ranks of notable stars like Timi Dakolo, Omawunmi, Iyanya, Chidinma, Laycon, and Efe Money, who have all successfully transitioned into music after their reality TV appearances.

Stan Alieke, lawyer to embattled singer Speed Darlington, has issued a challenge to Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy, urging him to take legal action against socialite Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, for alleged defamation. This follows Burna Boy’s previous decision to have Speed Darlington arrested for similar accusations.

Cubana Chief Priest has recently engaged in social media trolling directed at Burna Boy after the singer appeared to take a jab at him. In one of his posts, Chief Priest alleged that Burna Boy had an inappropriate relationship with American music executive Diddy as part of an effort to secure a Grammy. Speed Darlington was arrested for making a comparable claim.

Reacting to the situation, Stan Alieke called on Burna Boy to demonstrate consistency by pursuing legal action against Chief Priest. Writing on his Instagram story, Alieke said:

“Your petition claims that the Diddy and baby oil banter has caused ‘irreparable damage to your international reputation and has made you lose a lot of gigs.’

"Now, another person with more reach and influence has referenced the same Diddy and baby oil banter. The world expects you to engage the police and arrest him since that’s your usual approach. Otherwise, the streets may interpret it as cowardice.

“Well, I’m just a lawyer seeking justice for all.”

The lawyer’s remarks have sparked debate online, with many questioning whether Burna Boy will respond similarly to the allegations from Cubana Chief Priest.

Controversial social media activist VeryDarkMan has claimed that rapper Naira Marley confessed to owing his late signee, Mohbad, an undisclosed amount of money prior to the singer’s untimely death.

Mohbad passed away under controversial circumstances in September 2023, shortly after leaving Naira Marley’s Marlian Music. His departure was reportedly due to the record label's alleged failure to uphold their contract.

The circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death sparked widespread speculation, with many pointing fingers at Naira Marley and his associate, Sam Larry. A viral video showing Sam Larry assaulting Mohbad before his death further fueled public outrage.

On October 6, 2023, both Naira Marley and Sam Larry were arraigned and remanded in connection with the case. However, they were later granted bail after pleading not guilty. Despite their plea, a significant portion of the public continues to accuse them online and boycott Naira Marley’s music.

In a video shared on social media ahead of Mohbad’s 28th posthumous birthday, VeryDarkMan disclosed that he had offered Naira Marley the opportunity to use his platform to present evidence and clarify his side of the story, but the rapper declined.

“I asked Naira Marley why he hasn’t come forward to share evidence about their business dealings, as he clearly owed Mohbad money,” VeryDarkMan revealed. “He told me how much he owed—it wasn’t a small amount. He explained that their issues began when Mohbad started working outside the record label’s contract and requested a change in management.”

VeryDarkMan added, “I urged him to address Nigerians and explain what transpired between them, but he said God would fight his battles.”

The case continues to stir public interest, with many awaiting further clarity on the events that led to Mohbad’s death.

"I offered Naira Marley my platform to tell his own side of the story about Mohbad's matter but he said God will fight his battles"
