Nigerian singer, Crayon has stirred controversy online after publicly criticising his record label leadership in a series of posts on social media.

The artist, who is signed to Blowtime Entertainment, an imprint of Mavin Records, took to his X account to express frustration with the label and its management.

In one of the posts, Crayon appeared to take a swipe at the label’s founder, Don Jazzy, writing, “Don Jazzy na my boy!!!!!! Una dey maddddd!!?? Shayennnnn sharayyyyyy333.”

The singer also directed criticism at Tega Oghenejobo, the Chief Operating Officer of Mavin Records, referring to him as a “highest criminal.”

Crayon further made a startling allegation, claiming that he lost his mother because of the label, although he did not provide additional details or context for the statement.

In another post that quickly attracted attention online, the singer wrote, “Mavin is going down!!!!!!,” raising speculation about a possible fallout between him and the record label.

The posts have since triggered widespread reactions among fans and industry observers, many of whom are questioning the future of Crayon’s relationship with Mavin Records.

However, it remains unclear whether the singer’s X account have been compromised.

He has continued posting normally on his Instagram page without suggesting that his account was hacked.

Meanwhile, Crayon recently shared details about what appeared to be a new venture, Olodum Entertainment, including a new booking email address on his Instagram page.

This development has further fuelled rumours that the singer may be planning to part ways with Mavin Records, although neither Crayon nor the label has officially confirmed any split.

Crayon joined Blowtime Entertainment, a subsidiary of Mavin Records, in May 2019 and has released several songs under the label since signing the deal.

Veteran Nollywood actress, Shaffy Bello has opened up about a major personal decision she made years ago regarding childbirth.

The actress revealed that she underwent a medical procedure to prevent herself from having more children because she did not want a large family.

Bello made the revelation during a conversation about motherhood on her YouTube channel, Shaffy Bello TV, where she reflected on her experiences as a mother and the choices she made concerning family planning.

According to the actress, she decided to tie her fallopian tubes about 26 years ago after concluding that she did not want to have many children.

She explained that although her former husband wanted them to expand their family, she remained firm in her decision to stop having more children.

“My ex-husband had to beg me to have another one. I didn’t want a lot of children. I wanted to stop,” she said.

The thespian further explained that the procedure was performed through her navel, where doctors tied her fallopian tubes, permanently preventing her from becoming pregnant.

Describing the process, Bello said the doctors went through her navel to carry out the operation before tying her tubes, effectively stopping the release of eggs required for pregnancy.

“So they went through my navel, went in there, did what they needed to do, and they tied it up. That was it. They closed my eggs,” she said.

Bello added that she had always been certain about the type of family she wanted and never felt pressured to have more children than she desired.

She joked that if she were to become pregnant again after the procedure, she would consider it a miracle.

“I’ve always said to myself that after tying my tubes, if I get pregnant, I will feel like Mary, it’s a holy child,” Bello said.

Content creator and social media personality, VeryDarkMan, has expressed concerns for his safety following a public apology from socialite, King Mitchy.

The activist suggested that Mitchy’s apology may be a “decoy” intended to mislead the public.

DAILY POST had earlier reported that Mitchy addressed VeryDarkMan directly, acknowledging his advocacy and expressing regret for previously confronting him.

“To VeryDarkMan, my brother, I see what you’re fighting for, you’re fighting for Nigeria and we can make Nigeria a better place. I’m sorry for coming at you like that. Maybe now I understand you better,” Mitchy said. She added that the activist needs more supporters rather than critics in his fight for a better Nigeria.

Reacting to this, VeryDarkMan took to his instagram page on Sunday to insinuate! that the apology has deeper implications.

“This apology from King Mitchy cannot just come from nowhere. During that period, Lege Miami made a direct video about me, but later deleted it, claiming he received calls from above. Her apology has now pointed me in the right direction,” he stated.

He went on to allege that he has been specifically targeted, warning that certain individuals should be held accountable if anything happens to him.

“If anything happens to me, hold Mitchy and Seyi Tinubu responsible. Hold them responsible, because you see this thing now, it looks like a decoy to me.

“It looks like something is coming for me, and they told her to go and make this apology so that she will clear the air,” he said.

VeryDarkMan also claimed that messages intended to intimidate him were sent through mutual contacts during the dispute:

“Do you understand there’s something during that time when this whole thing happened, Mitchy was sending messages to people that know me, and those messages were sent to me.

“When Seyi Tinubu came out to write on his Instagram story addressing and talking about the situation, he failed to talk about that part. Now Mitchy has come out to apologize what I call a decoy. She also failed to talk about that part, and this is the part because I’m still scared for my life.”

He further warned against potential attempts to frame him for criminal activity:

“If you hear they see drugs or Igbo inside my car or inside my brother or anybody, na them set me up. If you hear say I do fraud, money laundry, anybody send me money, na them set me up.

“ Anything at all. Or if you hear say I carry firearm, oh, there’s small pistol in my car, na them set me up. Anything these people do, anything to send me to prison,” he said.

Veteran Nigerian actor Abiodun Ayoyinka has revealed the challenges he has faced despite gaining widespread fame for portraying the iconic character Papa Ajasco.

Ayoyinka made the revelation during an interview with media personality Lucky Udu, where he explained that the trademark ownership of the character has limited his opportunities outside the popular comedy franchise.

According to the actor, the character Papa Ajasco is legally registered by the production company owned by Wale Adenuga, making it difficult for him to use the identity for personal projects or commercial engagements.

He said the restriction has prevented him from appearing in advertisements or brand campaigns, even though many companies want him to appear in the famous costume and persona.

“The major problem is that particular character has been registered by Wale Adenuga. Anybody that wants to use me outside wants me with the character, with everything that I have, but it has never been easy for me,” he said.

Ayoyinka explained that he does not have exclusive rights to use the name or costume associated with the character.

“I don’t have the right. I can’t use the name Papa Ajasco unless I go and take permission. I can’t even use the costume,” he said.

He added that the strong public association with the character has made it difficult for him to secure opportunities as himself.

“Because that character is very strong, they want to see me as Papa, dress like Papa, look like Papa. It is always difficult for me to do it.”

The actor also disclosed that he previously worked with the Lagos State Government in the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture before retiring about five years ago.

Despite his long career, Ayoyinka said life has been difficult in recent years.

“Things have never been okay for years now. I retired five years ago, and it has never been easy for me to move around and connect with people,” he said.

“I’m always thinking every day. Look at my home—I don’t have my own house. I don’t have a car.”

Ayoyinka is widely known for playing Papa Ajasco in the long-running Nigerian comedy series Papa Ajasco & Company, a production of Wale Adenuga Productions that became one of Nigeria’s most popular television shows.
