Afrobeats star, Ikuforiji Olaitan, popularly known as Oxlade, has revealed that he doesn’t smoke or take hard drugs.

In a candid interview with gospel singer Tim Godfrey, Oxlade explained that his family and religious backgrounds made him shun vices.

The ‘Ku Lo Sa’ hitmaker emphasised that he is from a strong Christian and musically inclined family.

Oxlade stated that he started his music career in the choir and that shaped his personality and approach to music.

“I don’t smoke. I don’t take drugs. I was a choir coordinator for every age group; children’s church, teen church, the youth choir and the mass choir.

“All my life I have been in the choir. I was raised in a musically inclined family. My grandma is a deaconess and an amazing singer. My grandad used to be a multi-instrumentalist. My mum could dance and sing. I have a pastor in my family. My gospel music writing is actually the best. Gospel music is the best music,” he said.

The singer added, “Regardless of whichever perspective I am viewed, you should know that God is equally blessing me as much as he is blessing you. You can’t tour 40 cities with your debut album if God doesn’t want it to happen. As long as God is ordaining these steps and movements, there is really nothing for me to worry about.”

Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable, has regained his freedom after spending a week in prison.

The singer was released on Monday January 19 2026, after meeting his bail condition.

Speaking in a now trending video on social media, Portable said “they lied against me. I’m innocent.”

DAILY POST reports that Portable was remanded in prison a week ago after he was accused of assault and theft by his baby mama, Ashabi Simple and her siblings.

The drama started on New Year’s eve when a video capturing Ashabi and the singer in a heated exchange surfaced online, with Ashabi holding his clothes and saying “Pami baby” (Baby you have to kill me).

Following the incident, Ashabi and her siblings arrested Portable for assault and stealing their car.

He was, however, arraigned last week Monday on a nine-count criminal charge, including theft, causing harm, assault, and resisting arrest before the Federal High Court sitting in Ota, Ogun State.

The presiding judge remanded the singer and adjourned a fresh bail hearing till Monday January 19, 2026.

Popular Nollywood star, Sarah Martins, has reportedly collapsed and taken to the hospital following a sudden health emergency.

DAILY POST reports that the actress shared details of the frightening incident on her Instagram page, explaining that she woke up unable to feel parts of her body and momentarily feared she was lifeless.

Despite the alarming symptoms, Sarian said she still pushed herself to go to her shop to carry out inventory and conduct interviews for new staff. It was during this process that she reportedly slumped and was immediately taken to the hospital.

Doctors subjected her to more than 30 medical examinations including checks for cancer, fibroid, kidney and liver function, malaria, and typhoid but all tests returned negative.

Narrating her ordeal, she wrote: “Woke up today and couldn’t feel any part of my body. For a second, I felt lifeless. I still struggled and went to my stores to do inventory and a few interviews for incoming employees, and that was when I slumped.

“All through December, I worked every single day, and even when my staff travelled for the season celebration, I still kept working. No days off, no stretches, no nothing… just a walking corps working tirelessly to cater for others, forgetting myself.

“I did over 32 tests today, and all came out negative, including cancer, fibroid, liver, kidney, malaria, typhoid, etc. I guess God took proper care of my organs while I neglected my body.

“I am typing this from a sick bed, but I will be fine because the God that protects the vulnerable kids I struggle for will never fail me.

They said I’m extremely exhausted and need proper bed rest. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for your constant protection over my life.”

Medical personnel have reportedly advised her to embark on complete rest due to extreme exhaustion. Her fans and colleagues have since flooded her page with prayers and well-wishes.

Saida, the mother of the late popular Afrobeat singer Afeez Adeshina, widely known as Destiny Boy, has revealed the circumstances surrounding her son’s death.

The singer, who rose to fame in 2019 with his Fuji cover of Davido’s hit song If, passed away on Sunday, January 18, 2025, after battling a long-term mysterious illness known as “Ogu oru,” which frequently caused seizures.

Speaking in a video that trended on Monday, Saida explained that her son’s condition had been closely managed by the family, traditional healers, and clerics.

She said the illness had almost taken a severe toll on him, but they kept it hidden from the public due to his superstar status.

“Destiny went to rest. When he gave birth to his child, about four days after the naming, we went to Oba Edu Ifayomi, who initiated him traditionally. The man likes him as his son, so that’s why he told us to come and collect a ram for the baby’s naming ceremony. It was then that the sickness caught up with him, causing him to fall.

“It was there that we took him to the hospital. Oba Edu said we should ensure he’s properly treated and that he will take care of himself. He kept sending us money even when he was transferred to about two other hospitals. When we saw the trend of the sickness, we told him that we should go traditional, and he said we should bring him to his place. I was the one he even gave the soap to bathe him.

“We returned, and he was fine. The sickness he battled with was ‘Ogu oru,’ which caused him to have seizures. The sickness had almost run him mad. We were the ones who always ensured that he didn’t run out in the process of calming him.”

She further dismissed rumours linking Destiny Boy to money rituals, saying:

“Destiny Boy was not involved in money rituals. Those spreading such misinformation are just seeking attention from his death.”

Recalling his last days, she added:

“On Saturday, he still bought things for people, greeted his fans, and said he had a show on Sunday. Even then, the seizure caught him again.”

Saida also recounted the family’s efforts to seek traditional treatment, including guidance from Oba Edu Ifayomi, who had been closely involved in his care.

The singer had recently celebrated the birth of his first child in November 2024.

Reports by the Ogun State Police Command stated that investigations into his death are ongoing and that further updates will be provided.

The Ogun State Police Command has taken one person into custody over the death of well-known singer Adesina Afeez, popularly known as Destiny Boy.

Police authorities confirmed that the matter has been handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Homicide Section, for a comprehensive probe.

In a statement issued on Monday, the command disclosed that investigations had begun into the death of the 22-year-old artiste. According to the police, one suspect is currently being detained while detectives continue their inquiries.

Reports of Destiny Boy’s death surfaced on Sunday after disturbing clips showing his lifeless body being transported to a mortuary went viral on social media, triggering widespread mourning and speculation about what led to his demise.

One of the circulating videos showed the late singer laid in the back of a vehicle, with cotton wool placed in his ears and nostrils.

In an effort to address the growing rumours, an unidentified associate later released another video, claiming that the singer had been dealing with an undisclosed medical condition prior to his death.

He said, “I’m making this video so people won’t spread false stories about Destiny Boy’s death. Everyone comes into this world to fulfil their destiny. May God grant him eternal rest. Destiny had been battling a health problem. We did our best for him, but sadly, he didn’t survive.”

Destiny Boy, whose real name was Afeez Adeshina, started his journey in music at a young age and became popular for blending Fuji with contemporary sounds. He began his career at T2 Boys Studios in Agege, Lagos, where he worked as a backup dancer for renowned Fuji singer Pasuma.

He gained widespread recognition in 2019 after releasing a Fuji-style cover of Davido’s hit track If, which went viral online. He later did covers of songs by artistes such as Tekno, 2Baba, 9ice, and Small Doctor.

In his personal life, Destiny Boy welcomed his first child with his partner, Iremide, in November 2024.

The police assured the public that more details would be made available as investigations progress.

Veteran Nollywood actress and evangelist, Eucharia Anunobi, has threatened legal action against Psalm Okpe, founder of Fresh Oil Ministry International Church, over claims that they were romantically involved for more than five years.

The dispute follows the circulation of a leaked audio recording in which Okpe and another cleric, identified as Martins, were heard making explicit remarks about alleged past sexual relationships with Anunobi and a church leader Chikere Nwafor.

The conversation also featured unverified allegations of homosexuality against another male pastor, further fuelling public outrage.

Okpe, who previously ordained Anunobi into ministry, later released a public apology, admitting the recording was “disturbing” and stating that he was “very embarrassed by those vulgar words”.

Reacting, Anunobi condemned the cleric, describing him as a “monumental global shame”.

In a detailed Instagram post, the 60-year-old preacher rejected Okpe’s claims, saying the allegations were false and had subjected her to “emotional trauma”.

She maintained that she has lived a celibate life since her ordination nearly 14 years ago, despite having been in relationships during that period.

“I want to state here categorically that in almost 14 years since I have been midwifed into ministry, I have been celibate and have been keeping myself for the man that will be deserving of my new virginity,” she said.

“That is not to say that I have not been in courtship or not been engaged. Oh, I have been engaged for several years. I have been in courtship all this time.

“But none of these men can come out and say they have had penile penetration with me. None of them can say they have had sex with me. That is why I boldly preach righteousness.”

Anunobi further disclosed that she has commenced legal proceedings against Okpe and submitted petitions to both Nigerian and US authorities, citing defamation and long-standing threats to her ministry.

“I am not going to allow that to be swept under the carpet because that malicious, vile statement has left me in emotional trauma. And it is also a testament to his threats over the years to destroy my ministry.

“So, I have instituted a legal action so that he can come and prove how he dated me for five years and six months.

“My lawyers have been instructed to start the process of writing a petition to the Nigerian police force, the US Security and Immigration Department, against Psalm Okpe, for defamatory accusations,” she added.

Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson, has stated that her children are being bullied in school by other students Because of false social media narratives.

The actress disclosed this on Monday morning while speaking about the negative impact of false news against her on social media.

This came a few days after she was dragged online for arresting a Tiktoker who defamed her and her husband with a rumor allegedly reported by popular blogger, Cutie Juls.

However, revealing her reason for making the arrest, the actress in a video on her Instagram page explained that her children are being bullied in school because she is being tagged as a witch by trolls on the Internet.

Warning netizens to keep her family name out of their mouth, Mercy alleged that some of the Nigeria blogs publishing false news against her are owned by her colleagues.

While threatening that he who alleged must prove in court, she noted that “Please I’m begging you because subsequently, I’m not going to listen to anybody. I’m going to let the law take its full course.

“I don’t understand why you people love to tear down and destroy. I have kids. When you write these lies, I have teenagers who are being bullied in school because of the things that you write. There are parents who tell their kids not to let my kids touch their school bags because I’m a witch. I just need my name out of your mouth. This is off for now, but every other person who has alleged must prove. So, I still have more cases for 2026 because I won’t let my kids get bullied because of your lies.

“I have always been in my lane. My priorities are my husband and my kids. Nothing concerns me and una. I don’t care who is doing better. Please leave my name, my husband’s name out of your mouth. She’s off but that doesn’t make my other cases off, they are still on, and I’m going about it according to the law. How can you not know that actresses own these blogs? Actresses owned these blogs, colleagues owned these blogs, people who just don’t like you own these blogs, and they can be paid to say whatever. You have seen it before. People have come out to accuse bloggers of collecting money and writing things they want them to write.

“When I was getting married, I don’t think I had an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) with anybody to say we’re going to go in there, I’m not going to stay married, I’m going to leave. I got in alone. So, it means I have no business with anybody. There’s no reason why you wake up every morning and count the years for me and say we’re going to try and break it up, because it’s something you can’t just break. Your lies, and propaganda are not working this side. I need no validation from anyone and I know who I am”, she said.
