Rapper and singer, Zlatan Ibile has expressed deep concern about the emergence of influencer culture and its impacts on the Nigerian entertainment industry.

The singer lamented that music-making is no longer exclusive to professional musicians but anyone with considerable social media influence, including skitmakers, pranksters, TikTokers, and content creators.

“It used to be that artists were the celebrities, but now TikTokers, influencers, and content creators are celebrities. That is why you can see an influencer or skit maker drop a song and it blows up,” Zlatan stated in an episode of the Afrobeats podcast hosted by Shopsydoo.

The rapper noted that the development has undoubtedly affected the quality of music.

Singer Kcee recently expressed similar concerns, claiming that the rise of social media influencers has affected the organic nature of music, streams, and charts.

The Limpopo crooner argued that while influencer culture has some benefits, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Nigerian rapper, Blaqbonez has claimed that “regular people” are more likely to find genuine love and maintain healthy relationships than celebrities.

Blaqbonez explained that “everyday” people have more stable routines which give them the opportunity to create time for their partners as opposed to celebrities whose routines are disrupted from time to time.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Ada’s Room podcast, the rapper disclosed that he finds it difficult to commit to one woman because of his lifestyle as an artiste.

“In a relationship, I care about my partner but not in a fairytale way. I don’t think I can give anybody the fairytale. I even think that the fairytale thing is fake. Human beings are just trying to not accept reality.

“My lifestyle as an artiste is part of the reasons I can’t give anyone a fairytale love. If I was an everyday-person that didn’t have to communicate with too many people, it would be easier to dedicate myself to one woman.

“Because as an everyday-person you just go to work and come back home to your woman after closing and repeat.
“You can create a routine where just one or two people challenge the routine in a year. But being an artist, people challenge your routine every day,” he explained.

Blaqbonez stated that another reason it is difficult for artists to find true love is because they hardly meet people by chance, stressing that most people who come around them are opportunistic.

“It is really difficult to find genuine relationship. Being an artiste, everybody you meet engineered themselves to be there to meet you. It is crazy because you supposed to just live and meet radom people,” he added.

DAILY POST reports that Burna Boy has been criticised online for being arrogant.

The development came following the singer’s recent attack on Wizkid’s DJ, DJ Tunez at a Lagos club. The incident further led to an online fight between Wizkid and Burna Boy.

Reacting to the controversy, many Nigerians criticised Burna for always getting physical with people, tagging him arrogant.

However, defending the singer behavior during an interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Channels TV, Bose Ogulu stated that she doesn’t mind being seen as arrogant.

When asked about Burna Boy, she said If knowing his worth and carrying himself as such is arrogant, then it is a good thing. “And I can’t apologize for that.”

Ebuka asked: “do you mind that Burna Boy is seen as arrogant? Do you mind that you are seen as arrogant with the way you run Burna brand?

She responded: “I don’t mind honestly, I don’t mind at all. I mean any adjective they want to attach to you is ok. The thing is who are you? If knowing your worth and carrying yourself as such is arrogant, then it is a good thing. And I can’t apologize for that. Because I think we were born into a world where we were expected to put our heads down.

“First is the color of your skin, the color of your passport, for me, my gender. So, I don’t understand the concept of that life. I understand that if I know something, I know it and I expect you to realise that I know it. And if you don’t realize that I know it, then, put me to the test”, she said.

Celebrity lawyer and human rights activist, Chukwuma Daniels, has said that the recent wedding of Adaobi Alagwu has rekindled public discussion around her past dispute involving businessman Tunde Ayeni.

Alagwu recently held her wedding ceremony on April 4, 2026, an event that attracted significant public attention and social media reactions.

She is now married to Honourable Akarachi Amadi Etinosa, whose presence at the ceremony also drew interest from observers.

Speaking on the development, Daniels said the renewed attention reflects how public figures often remain subjects of discussion long after major personal controversies.

He noted that Alagwu first came into the public spotlight during a widely reported dispute involving Ayeni, which generated extensive media coverage and legal exchanges at the time.

According to him, the recent wedding has now brought those past events back into public discourse.

“A few years ago, Adaobi Alagwu was at the center of a widely followed public controversy involving businessman Tunde Ayeni,” Daniels said. “Her recent wedding has, however, reopened conversations about that period and how individuals evolve beyond public disputes.”

He added that the situation highlights how social and media narratives often resurface when individuals involved in past controversies experience new life milestones.

“It also shows how public perception can shift over time, especially when people move into new phases of their personal lives,” he said.

Daniels further observed that while public interest is expected, caution should be exercised when revisiting past events, especially where accounts remain contested.

“Adaobi dusted herself off, she kept her head high even when the smear campaigns were at their worst.

“This piece is not just about one woman’s wedding. This is a loud reminder to every young girl currently “managing” an old uncle with money: the bill always comes due. The public disgrace, the court cases, the late-night tears are real. But so is the possibility of redemption. Adaobi didn’t stay down. She didn’t become bitter. She became better. She chose growth over grudges, and the universe rewarded her with a younger, richer, prouder man who isn’t afraid to show her off.

“So yes; congratulations, Adaobi, you took the worst chapter of your life and turned it into the plot twist nobody saw coming.”
