#BBNaija2019: Frodd requests to see a movie with Esther privately on her birthday

Posted: 22 Aug 2019 12:00 AM PDT


'Pepper Dem' housemate, Frodd, during his diary session yesterday, told Big Brother that he would like to see a movie privately with Esther on her birthday if it was possible and in response, Biggie said he'll consider Frodd's request.

Frodd's question was triggered by the show max movie reward pasted on the Bet9ja board. It was stated that any housemate who wins the reward would get a chance to see a movie.


Frodd has certainly gone head over heels for Esther and he would certainly do anything or go any length to show her that he truly loves her and wants her in his life.

Since Esther's birthday is coming up next Thursday, Frodd decided to use that opportunity to show her how much he loves and cares about her by seeing a movie with her privately and also spend quality time with her.

Davido’s 30BG chain was spotted in Lagos traffic, being sold for N4,000

Posted: 21 Aug 2019 11:30 PM PDT


Nigerian singer Davido probably isn't aware of how much influence he has in the jewelry industry. Just recently, the famous 30BG diamond chain was spotted in Lagos traffic and the seller was willing to part with it for N4,000.

By now, everyone knows that the authentic version of the 30BG chain worn by Davido and the rest of his crew cost millions of naira. However, on the streets of Lagos, anyone can join the 30 Billion Gang movement with just N4,000.


While OBO might find this hilarious, there is likely a business opportunity to be recognised, if he were to trademark the name and start branding items with it. With his huge fan base, he is set to cash out in the fashion industry with the 30BG brand.

However, it is still hilarious that anyone would present someone else's brand as theirs and sell it for much less. In the video clip which is now making rounds on the internet, the seller can be heard claiming that the piece is authentic.

Davido reacts to report that he’s on the list of top tax defaulters In Nigeria

Reacting to the news, Davido took to Twitter to simply say, 'Lol I'm on my cash shit'.


Rapper Ikechukwu almost died on Saturday

Posted: 21 Aug 2019 10:30 PM PDT

Rapper Ikechukwu has narrated how he almost died but was saved by an Uber driver he ordered to rush him to a hospital after he suffered food poisoning.


Read his series of tweets below.

"So i almost died on Saturday.
Went to bed early but woke up round 2 cos i felt no.2 coming. Im on the throne waiting for the poop to poop. Omo nothing o but pain in stomach was on a rise. Next thing cramping turns to biting on the inside. To point i couldnt stand.

All alone in My house , i start calling random friends. Nobody pick. At this point i strip and put my stomach on my marble floor to cool the temp becos it was blazing hot. And i couldnt move. Pains getting worse and worse. I start vomiting. At that point i call my gateman to come help me.

That one also didnt pick. Dozing . na so i just order uber. When the guy arrived i had him wake my stupid gateman. He helped me walk to the car and i made it to the hospital near my crib. I rush inside and collapse. I cant even explain to them so i start pointing. Thank God.

The doctor smart. He pumped me with extreme painkillers and antibiotics. Na so my vision just blurrr and lost feeling in my legs and basically passed out while still conscious if that makes sense to u.

So apparently my brother in law who is a gastroenterologist calls back my Missed call and the doctor answers and tells him. Bro in law gets my bro and his wife to go pick me from there and take me to another hospital for stomach scans. I don't remember any of that. When they ruled out appendicitis they concluded on acute food poisoning.

And moved me to the Third hospital where my older sis in law who is in from Yankee took over. And resuscitated me to live. My stubborn head forcing them to discharge me the following day cos I could see and walk and I hate hospitals. Now the reason I'm sharing this is the story could've been different.

U could've been reading about my death this weekend. Life is quite unpredictable and precious. We spend so much time chasing after things we believe will provide happiness and comfort but the truth is we keep missing out on enjoying life as it is.

We have allowed ourselves get lost in A race that can truly never be won cos there's always a bigger better race and we teach ourselves to never be satisfied. All that shit gotta end. I'm smelling the roses, I'm thanking God for keeping me and I am gonna take life easy, appreciate everything as little ad they come.

I pray u all do too. God bless".

Journalist, Adeyinka Oluwamayowa’s Open Letter To Dj Cuppy On Her Music Career And Negative Comments

Posted: 21 Aug 2019 06:30 AM PDT


Being the daughter of a businessman oil magnate in the entertainment business doesn't exempt Dj Cuppy from negative comments or the ups and downs every gutter-rising artiste faces on their way up.

After a container load of negative comments on Dj Cuppy's music career, especially with the release of her new song, Gelato, featuring Zlatan Ibile,

Journalist, Adeyinka Oluwamayowa has written an open letter to DJ Cuppy advising her to ignore negative comments and focus on the positive ones.

According to him, ' You need to wake up, don't be too clouded by your emotions because the few negative comments are getting at you (real hard), instead, focus on those who love you and keep doing you'.

See the full post below…

I'm not here to reference your success to the wealth of your father or how you leveraged on it to boost your brand to what it is today. It will be so unfair if I didn't applaud you from being hardworking enough to make yourself a household name in Africa, especially Nigeria.

DJ Cuppy, you've been on a mission that I don't key into recently and nothing from you will make me buy your tales and descriptions of how you're not loved by 80% of the Nigerian people or how you need to be freed by your critics and trolls who won't stop coming after you.

As it stand in the industry, you're one of the very few female DJs Nigerians look up to and you're not just amazing at what you do, you're also bold, confident and above all, selfless – these are qualities anyone would admire in any beautiful lady like you.

However, comments about Nigerians and those trolling you seems to be coming from your emotional place, a very deep one. Remember, all Nigerians cannot like you – just the same way you cannot like everyone. The question is why do you think those who don't like you don't?

I've taken my time to read through your comments on twitter and Instagram, Cuppy… you know what, you're loved and appreciated by many, the few people who seem not to love you have two things in common; they don't like you because they feel you're not talented 'in singing', and secondly, your father is too rich for them to believe, hence they beef what you have for they simply don't have your father as theirs.

I've also had issues with your singing ability in the past, but you've proven yourself to be a work in progress and you've moved from that lady who struggles while singing to being a commander-in-chief of music – at DJ level. As a matter of fact, you're better than most of your counterparts in the industry.

Most Nigerian DJs just make a hell of noise in their own music than to drop a meaningful verse, but this isn't you, Cuppy gives us reasonable lyrics and sings her heart out in her own songs. Unlike many DJs who feature musicians to dominate their songs for them, your own type of feature is different, you collaborate with them and share the verses, and still deliver stunningly, despite being a DJ.

If anyone feels the need to label you talentless, I'm sure they are the ones who don't understand what it means to be talented. They need to check out your collaboration with Tekno on 'Green Light', your duet with Sarkodie on 'Vybe', just to mention a few, may be they will have a change of mind, calm their heads and grab 'Gelato'.

And for those trolling you for your father's wealth, you have no reason to bother yourself about them. Many people will troll you for being a rich kid, and just for absolutely nothing. Is it your fault your father, Femi Otedola is wealthy? Or are you the reason your father is not their father?  You need to wake up, don't be too clouded by your emotions because the few negative comments are getting at you (real hard), instead, focus on those who love you and keep doing you.

@mimiorjiekweng did you just give dis fat pig your attention. I'm not a friend to Mimi but she disappointed me by replying dis ELEPHANT ?with fat face. If dis is wat some of you call sexy as a lady then am ready to stay as SHIM forever or better still stay confused in my gender forever. For those of you that know her if you see dis girl teeth while talking….you will appreciate yourself more. Her teeth is an example of a brand new shovel. And the most annoying part is she never wear original hair. All her hairs are from aba made, every hair on her head are always tangled like local restaurants sponge ?.You are calling out celebrities while you look so stupid ?????.

Guys the new method people wanna grow their useless career is by insulting celebrities so people could noticed them. Ever since I caught their new method I stopped replying them. If you want to be famous pay for shoutout you will get one. Dis ape ? right here want to be famous so bad, but my advice is she should go and hustle. Everything about her shapeless.
1) her teeth look like a hungry rabbit ?
2) her wide mouth like a retired prostitute
3) the look from her hair to her shoulder look like someone they are about to use for a sacrifice
4) wat is that thing on her neck ? she look like a SLAVE. Bold pink or whatever you cal your name. Before you cal out anybody go and get your shapeless body done ? first then come back we all will listen to you. But looking like dis and you wanna talk naaaa nobody will never listen to you."

Kizz Daniel Reportedly Impregnate Davido’s Ex-girlfriend

Posted: 21 Aug 2019 01:30 AM PDT


Crooner, Kizz Daniel's girlfriend, Adedamola, an Instagram model and a graduate of Afe Babalola University is rumoured to be pregnant for him but not yet showing because she is still in her first trimester.


According to the report, Adedamola has informed Kizz Daniel of the pregnancy and he has told her to keep it. They both agreed she would keep it but she is scared because she still lives with her parents and does not know what their reaction would be.

Sources said Adedamola who is really scared and considering abortion but scared of the consequences has confided in her close Friends in case anything happens to her to know whom to hold responsible if she decides to abort.


The above message was posted by Ade on her Insta-story on Monday and insiders say she is trying to muster courage to talk about her pregnancy.

I contacted her this morning on Instagram inbox and  asked to confirm the news. She replied Yes to my question of if she was pregnant for Kizz Daniel and added a rolling eyes emoji and then she unsent it and denied and asked if i had proof.

She also said, "Even if i was a baby mama to be, i wont say Yes that easily".

Adedamola was Davido's side piece until the crooner began to flaunt his love for Chioma online and Adedamola knew that her time had expired and she switched to Kizz Daniel who knew she was Davido's side piece.

When Davido found out he got really upset that Kizz was chopping his ex-side and that was why they had some small brouhaha.

The relationship between Adedamola and Kizz Daniel has been on and off and unstable like NEPA.

Any more denials can follow but one thing is certain, a baby is a beautiful gift from God. Congrats to them if they decide to keep it!
