The incident took place at Iyabo Ojo’s movie premiere.

Nigerian singer, Abdulsalam Suliyat Modasola, popularly known as Liya, has revealed that her decision to leave Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) label was driven by a desire for personal and professional growth.

Liya, who became the first female artiste signed to Davido’s record label in October 2020, officially parted ways with the label in 2023.

Speaking during an interview on the show Wahala with Josy Anne, the singer disclosed that her time at the label came with emotional challenges that significantly affected her wellbeing.

According to her, the period was marked by depression, exhaustion and health struggles, which ultimately pushed her to make the difficult decision to step away.

“Why did I leave? I just wanted more for myself, as a person and as an artist.

“It was sad, it was depressing, I was tired, I was sick, but it was a decision that I had to make for myself,” Liya said.

The singer also addressed the public criticism she faced while signed to the label, noting that many people misunderstood her situation and accused her of being unproductive.

“They called me names people saying she’s lazy, she doesn’t know what she’s doing. They’re just pouring money on her, and she’s not doing anything,” she said.

Liya further revealed that the challenges she faced during that period affected her presence on social media.

She explained that she did not personally manage her Instagram account for more than two years, leaving the responsibility to her manager.

Despite the difficulties, the singer expressed gratitude to her manager for his patience and support throughout the period.

“He was tired, but I’m so glad he understood. He never pushed me or forced me,” she added.

Liya gained recognition after signing to DMW in 2020 and releasing songs such as “Melo,” “Adua,” and “Lakiriboto.”

Discussing her marriage to Kayode Salako, she described her husband as the “definition of peace.”

Speaking about the freedom she enjoys in her marriage, Daramola said, “I don’t feel like I’m married. My husband is the definition of peace for me. If I tell Kayode now that I will be going to Canada tonight and will spend up to a year there, he will say bye-bye. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me; he just feels like he shouldn’t cage me.

“So I don’t feel like I’m married. He is my very good friend and my greatest cheerleader. When we fight, you would think that the marriage is going to end, but give us two hours, and everything will be settled,” she added.

DAILY POST reports that this comes two years after Kayode Salako confirmed his marriage to another woman, identified as Oluwafunke Oyegoke-Salako, while still married to the actress.

American singer Jason Joel Desrouleaux, popularly known by his stage name Jason Derulo, has opened up about expecting to marry young, revealing that he never thought he would be single at 37.

In an interview with Graham Bensinger, the ‘Don’t Wanna Go Home’ hitmaker candidly revealed that his experience changed his perspective on marriages.

The singer said he has witnessed a lot of breakups and tensed moments of couples, which made him scared of commitment.

“I thought I was going to marry a lot of the girls I dated. Never in a million years I thought that I would be 37 and single.

“However, I have seen too much. I have seen too much in my life. You could imagine the things that I have seen; married women leaving their spouses on the spot, leaving their men in the club. I have seen everything under the sun,” he expressed.
Derulo and fellow singer Jordin Sparks dated for three years, before ending their relationship in September 2014.

In 2021, he welcomed a son with his girlfriend Jena Frumes. The couple broke up barely five months after the arrival of their child.

Veteran singer Konga has lamented about what he described as the lack of support from the present crops of Nigerian artists to industry legends.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Hits Don’t Lie podcast, the Kabakaba crooner said Davido should have supported Nigerian music legends with the N200 million birthday donations he received from his friends and fans in 2021.

DAILY POST recalls that Davido added N50 million of his own money, bringing the total to N250 million, which he donated to 292 orphanages across Nigeria.

However, Konga argued that it would have been better if he had used the funds to support struggling music legends, stressing that the funds could have rejuvenated their careers.

He said, “The present crops of Nigerian artists need to humble themselves. Nobody is dragging their money with them. But they have used peer pressure to chase a lot of Nigerian music legends into doing menial jobs abroad.

“If I were part of Davido’s management, one time his friends contributed money to him, I would have said – ‘Davido, carry this money, go and give it to all these legends… bring Baba Fryo back, bring Daddy Showkey. Give Daddy Showkey, Baba Fryo and others N5 million each.’

“If he had done that, the industry would have waken up. Our legends would have dropped a lot of comeback hits. Our music legends are running away due to lack of support. Look at Lord of Ajasa, is that a joke to you? And someone like Olamide will come out to say Wizkid is the greatest Nigerian artist internationally. Where is that coming from? We have been doing international shows for ages.

“You guys are only taking it forward from where we stopped. Fela, King Sunny Ade, Majek Fashek and others have been touring the world for years. Just because our achievements were not documented back then does not mean we did not do anything.”
