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.”

Nollywood actress, Sarian Martins, has claimed that the spirit of the late IVD’s wife, Bimbo Ogbonna is responsible for Blessing CEO’s illness.

Martins made this claim while commenting on Blessing CEO’s alleged battle with stage 4 breast cancer.

DAILY POST reports that Blessing CEO, a popular self-acclaimed relationship expert, on Wednesday solicited financial assistance from the public for chemotherapy treatment.

Reacting to the controversial claim by Blessing CEO, the actress blasted her for speaking against late Bimbo who died from injury sustained from a fire outbreak that happened during a violent incident with IVD at their Lagos residence.

While applauding the Bimbo’s spirit, Sarian urged her to make sure she kills everyone involved in her death.

Speaking in a post on her Instagram page on Thursday, the actress said “What a day to be alive. Dear Bimbo, I see what you did there, keep it up Kpai them all. Either through cancer or whatever means!

“They bragged and mocked your death, now it’s time to experience what pain feels like. Blessing no be for here u go jogodo! You mocked the death of a woman that did nothing to you and still went ahead to flaunt her husband after personalizing him! God neither sleeps nor slumbers. His timing is always perfect. No be only cancer you go face o, craze go later join. Agba amu”, she wrote.

DAILY POST recalls that Blessing, who claimed to be IVD’s official relationship therapist, took sides with him in 2022 when he was accused of having a hand in his wife’s death.

However a few months after Bimbo’s death, Blessing announced her relationship with IVD, and the duo tied the knot traditionally in 2025.

Popular social media critic, VeryDarkMan, has reacted to Blessing CEO’s cancer claim.

DAILY POST reports that Blessing CEO, a controversial self-acclaimed relationship expert, announced on Wednesday that she is battling with breast cancer.

While soliciting financial assistance from the public for treatment and breast amputation, Blessing said she has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

Many Nigerians including celebrities took to the comment section to encourage her.

However reacting to the development, VeryDarkMan in a video shared on his Instagram page on Thursday, demanded a medical report from Blessing CEO to back up her claims.

“I just hope what Blessing CEO is saying is the truth. Because I hope it is not prank, clout chasing or something she wants to use to gather money because cancer is a very sensitive matter globally.

“Cancer is not something that someone should joke with because it has claimed many lives. And till tomorrow, there’s still no cure for it.

“I’m not convinced enough that Blessing CEO is saying the truth. Because you did not provide the report of the hospital that diagnosed you. You said a lot of resources has gone into your health. You did not put the receipt of the money you’ve been spending together for the public to see. You just came with emotional blackmail. Post the proof here,” he said.

“Even before I had my child, I have always been heavy at the top. I used to hid it. In my 20s, I used to wear like three bras. I used to be very uncomfortable about how heavy I was at the top,” she said.

The music star explained that with time, she grew more confident and stopped being insecure about her body.

She added that becoming a mother also changed how she viewed her body.

Veteran singer Konga has said he deserves 60 per cent of the earnings of Afrobeats star Burna Boy’s song ‘Update,’ claiming that the Grammy winner sampled him on the record without his permission.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Hits Don’t Lie podcast, Konga revealed that Burna Boy refused to reach out to him even after he called him out peacefully a few months ago.

He lamented that Burna Boy agreed to pay American singer Toni Braxton 60 per cent of the earnings from his 2022 smash hit ‘Last Last’ for sampling her song ‘He Wasn’t Man Enough’ but couldn’t do the same for him.

“If Toni Braxton is having 60% royalty of Last Last, why can’t he do the same thing to come and meet me first, talk to me?,” Konga queried.

He disclosed that he has been preventing his lawyers from taking legal action against Burna Boy because he loves his music and is proud of his contribution to the global advancement of African music.

Konga noted that Burna Boy had also previously sampled his lyrics in the remix of ‘Sungba’ with Asake.

He said since Burna Boy refused his public request for the Grammy winner to remix his evergreen hit ‘Kabakaba’ with him, he has also decided to sample Burna Boy without permission.

Popular singer and rapper, Jesse Jagz Abaga has expressed concerns over the worsening economic hardship and escalating insecurity in the country.

The ‘Bad Girl’ crooner said he can’t fathom the rationale behind the high level of corruption and maladministration among Nigeria’s political class.

He said the failure of Nigerian politicians to provide amenities, such as medical facilities to their communities, is why a lot of the same politicians end up “dying like dogs” in foreign hospitals.

On his X handle, he wrote, “Imagine getting the chance to change your people’s future, and all you do is steal the money and ship it abroad.

“I swear I don’t understand the logic of these Nigerian politicians. That’s why most of them end up dying like dogs in hospitals abroad!”

In another post, Jesse Jagz claimed that Nigerian politicians are now serving the interests of foreign governments who installed them as “puppets” instead of the Nigerian citizens.

He further alleged that the cost of living in Nigeria became worse since the administration of former United States President Barrack Obama helped the All Progressives Congress, APC, snatched power.

The rapper added, “Today’s politicians are no different from the collaborators who helped colonize us, or the ones who sold their own brothers and sisters into slavery.

“I was here, alive, watching when Obama and his crew backed Buhari — and life has only gotten worse since.”

Veteran rapper Ruggedman has faulted the categorisation of African music under one fit-all “genre”, Afrobeats.

Speaking in a recent interview with Day Genius, Ruggedy Baba said he had always opposed the term but was accused of being jealous of Afrobeats singers.

He argued that Afrobeats is not a genre but a “name” talentless Nigerians hide behind.

“I don’t like Afrobeats as an umbrella genre from every music coming out of Africa. That was a mistake. I didn’t liked it from the beginning but when I complained people accused me of being jealous or trying to gatekeep.

“Right now, if I go to the UK to perform, I would be tagged an Afrobeats artistes. It is wrong.

“It is the people in the UK who started this thing of tagging every African music Afrobeats. Nigerians love classicism. They just wanted to give it a name.

“For me, Afrobeats with an ‘S’ is a name talentless Nigerians hide behind. All you need to make an Afrobeats hit is just to get a good beat and a street slang and repeat it as many times as you like. Then spend a lot of money to promote it. That is the Afrobeats with an ‘S’,” he said.

The rapper also claimed that only a few Afrobeats artists can sing without autotone.

He added that that is why most Afrobeats artists shy away from freestyling and live performances with bands.
