Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has claimed that no Nigerian artiste has more hit songs than him.

He boasted that he is ready to bet $1 million on a hit battle with any Nigerian artiste who can challenge him.

The Omo Baba Olowo crooner challenged his colleagues to a hit contest during a recent livestream with streamer Davrel.

“I will put $1 million cash on the table. Nobody has more hits than me,” he said.

Davido is one of the most prolific hitmakers in the Nigerian music industry, alongside contemporaries such as Wizkid, Olamide, Burna Boy, Tekno and Runtown.

No artiste has publicly accepted his challenge as of the time of filing this report.

Burna Boy made a similar challenge during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.

Former Mavin star, Reekado Banks was the only artiste who accepted the challenge, but he was turned down by Burna Boy, who said he wasn’t “a worthy challenger.”

Nollywood veteran-turned-politician, Kenneth Okonkwo has reacted to claims that he asked the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC)presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for rent.

The actor, while speaking during an interview on Symfoni TV, dismissed the claims made by PDP member, Katch Ononuju.

He explained that he had built his own house before delving into active politics.

Okonkwo also stressed that he never requested for rent from Peter Obi or anyone in particular, adding that his loyalty is to Nigerians and not politicians or political parties.

“Before I entered active politics and came to Peter Obi, I had built all the houses that I needed.

This is because I wanted to be an independent person with my own opinion. I made it clear from day-one that my loyalty is to Nigeria, to Nigerian people and the Constitution, and my conscience and the commandment of God. I am not going to move away from this. So my loyalty is not to a political party or to a politician but to Nigeria. So I have never asked for rent from Peter Obi or anybody since I was born. By the grace of God, I lived in my father’s house, finished my university education, went and lived in my own house in Lagos. By 1994, I moved into my own duplex in Lagos and I lived there for 14 years,” he said.

Nigerian singer, Niniola Apata, has announced her return back to the music industry months after grieving the death of her husband, Michael Ndika.

The announcement, made via emotional posts on social media, revealed that her new single reflects a deeply personal phase in her life, capturing themes of love, loss and emotional healing.

Niniola expressed her heartbreak, stressing that Michael was more than just her husband but also her best friend, confidant, pillar and.

business partner. She noted that despite mourning his death, she knows he would have wanted her to keep making music, hence her return.

“Some feelings are too deep for words. So I put them in a song. There are no words for a moment like this, but I know he’d want me to keep singing, to keep showing up, and to keep sharing the gift we’ve always believed in,” she wrote.
