Wizkid

Since the emergence of Twitter, a lot  of Nigerian celebrities have used it to promote their act, while other celebrities have used it for their personal vendetta, In  Doy News Top 10 today, we will look at some Nigerian celebrities who had once had a fight on Twitter or people with constant issues, and brings it on Twitter.. If we miss anyone, please write it up in the comment section.

Davido: The young and multiple award winner is a constant drama king on Twitter. Since he came into the spotlight and turned into A-list celebrity, he had issues with different people, including family members.

Davido latest tweet was when he called out one of his cousins, who was also a musician, and accused them of hating on his new signee, Mayorkun, because he had 1million views on YouTube, while his cousins videos are always crawling.

Davido also had baby mama drama some times ago, and Ovation magazine owners, Dele Momodu was involved in the drama. 

You don't need to be there, because Davido dished out the whole story on his timeline for his fans.

Tonto Dike: Marriage and hard lesson seem to have helped Tonto Dike adjust her online activities. Tonto Dike was a Drama queen before he got married. She would talk about her dogs, her maids and how she helped her pass exams, the gifts given to her by boyfriend, and trust me, you don't dare call her out.

She once talked about how she suffered growing up, and their parents couldn't afford different needs, but her sister had to come out and debunk that rumour. She talked about her boyfriend, then the boyfriend got another girl few days to their wedding, moreover, Boyfriend was also allegedly a "con man" in Dubai.

She had many fights with Linda Ikeji the blogger, and also a fight with Mercy Johnson about her marriage.

Tonto Dike seems to have found a new husband she could work with, and the man seems to have tame her online dramas. Ohh, we miss Tonto Dike drama (kidding).

Dammy Krane: The 21st century Fuji crooner, Dammy Krane seems not to be getting attention at home, and from his label mate. So recently, he decided not to call Wizkid or his management and settle things with them, instead he brought his frustration to Twitter, and threaten the CEO of the Starboy music label.

We don't know if he had some issues with Wizkid before his Twitter tantrum, but he claims to be street, and would do anything to hurt Wizkid for stealing music from his studio. 

The whole drama later ends with Dammy having a swollen lip.

Ben Bruce: The latest Nigerian senator and owner of Silverbird Television is another man that have sponsored a lot of bills on Facebook and Twitter than in the Senate building where he was supposed to solve issues.

The senator is always with a short video every now and then, and using a hashtag #Commonsense. He is now known as the "common sense" senator. 

He does not play around on Twitter, and he is known for calling you out on Twitter if you attack him, though with hilarious comments. 

I am not sure I want to see the next drama Ben will put on Twitter, instead, i would like him to go to the house, and see how jobs can be provided for new graduands of Nigeria University, and they can get paid too..

What about that for common sense?

Linda Ikeji: How can we talk about drama and exempt the blogger queen, Linda Ikeji. Linda Ikeji aside from the feud with different celebrities, driving them into depression mode, and making other nervous, sometimes she can be a drama queen herself.

Recently, Linda Ikeji had a clash with Wizkid about one of the news she posted, and when Wizkid threatened her with his 16-year old, she was so frightened, she ran to the police officers, please save me from "16 year old" Wizkid cousin.

The only reason she had done that was because her "henchwoman", Laura Ikeji was out-of-town, but still, am not sure a 16 year old will beat Linda, Yes or Yes. What makes her more dramatic was that she was playing the feminism card, and was saying women should stop men from bullying them...yada yada yada. Linda Ikeji, really??

Also, she was recently caught in a dirty and disgraceful "bag" conversation, after she posted a bag, which had cost millions of Naira, and a commenter told her the bag was fake. She was angry and said how would she have bought fake, with the money she has got.

To cut the long story short, the bag snapshot was sent to Hermes, and they confirmed the bag was fake. Maybe we should call Linda, Instagram Drama Queen, but since she shared it cross her social media, we will drop it here.

P-Square & Company: One of the biggest group in Africa, but they also like drama. These twins and their brother had stayed clear away from bloggers and social media drama until recently they seem to have adopted the method of argument to sell albums.

They are now known to bring up some family dirty linen to the public, and next week, an album or single will be released to the public. Talk about a predictable duo.

The group had a "final" social media war with their long-term manager and cousin, Jude Okoye. Peter of the P-Square came on Twitter and said nobody should work with Jude as he is no longer their manager, Jude said Peter needed Prayer, and Paul said he will stay with Jude.

A week ago, it was announced that the group is working on a new video in South Africa. 

They keep threatening fans that care that they will soon stop working as a group, then they release a new single or album. Hopefully, the next press release would be they are no longer working, because myself and concerned internet users can no longer keep up with the drama.

Wizkid: Wizkid is not really a drama king, I will prefer to call him a drama kid. He is well known for attacking Linda Ikeji, and supporting anybody who does want to attack Linda Ikeji. He also likes to reply people who call him out, one of them was Skales.

When Wizkid replies Skales, you would know he fights dirty. He had to talk down to Skales not making any money for the music label when they were together, and he had to give him money sometimes. He ripped out Skales.

Also, when he had contract issues with his old label, EME, he had to come online and talk about being loyal to the label, but not getting anything in return. 

Burna Boy: Who goes on Twitter and threaten to kill bloggers? Ha, it is Burna Boy. Burna Boys had started his career with an awesome single and a very nice album. We all knew he smokes, but it is sad when the smoke filtered into the wrong part of your brain, only to go on Twitter to beat and kill bloggers writing things you don't like.

I think it is safe to say Burna boy is the Twitter drama Rastaman, and we don't believe you Burna, you need more people.

  These bloggers be writing sh*t thinking its a game until I see yall face to face one day nd hospitalize or murk u. We gon meet 1day #onsight”

Olamide: This is Nigeria young thug ,though he makes better music than Young Thug. Olamide is the only guy that goes on Twitter and not scared to use the @ button to call out his opponent. Olamide will say whatever comes to mind at the time he is with his phone, cuss you out, and threatens you.

Olamide was the first dude that calls out Don Jazzy, and rips into him the way nobody else can. Don Jazzy is one of the most respected musician/producer in Nigeria, and Olamide warned him not to go to the whole of Lagos Mainland, all this on Twitter. Talk about "Rambo" of Twitter, Olamide is your man.

Linda Ikeji scares people, Olamide scares Linda Ikeji away...

And I will say this one time, and one time only, Olamide is our lawyer, don't come for us on Twitter or comment, we will assign Olamide to you 

Tiwa Savage And Teebilz: These two are one of the most loved couple in the Nigeria music scene, but Nigerians also believe they are the Jayz and Beyonce of Nigeria. They seem to follow a lot of Jayz/Beyonce footstep, and are always fast to go on Twitter too.

These couples are just like the Okoye's (Psquare and company). After a fight, a single comes out, and Nigerians go for their jugular.

Though the couple are divorced now, which is sad to see, but while together, these were Number 1 drama king and queen.

The online drama between two Nigerian celebrities, Linda Ikeji and Wizkid continues this week. This week, Linda Ikeji tries to explain the recent development between herself and Wizkid, after Wizkid threatens that his 16-year old cousin will beat Linda Ikeji for all the write-up she is writing against his person.

The popular blogger tries to clear the fact that she used to be a fan of Wizkid and have always wished for his success, she also pointed out how her blog had helped Wizkid in the 3-4 years, and all sold-out concerts, magazine features, collaborations and all the success was possible via her blog, but she had noticed that when some Nigerian artistes ganged up against her business and her person, Wizkid supported the artistes, and that was when she thought he had unclarified issues with her.

Linda Ikeji said she is not angry with Wizkid because of the derogatory comments on her person and slut-shaming, but she reported the threat to the police so that women and people knows it is not right to threaten anyone outside Nigeria and in Nigeria.

Read all about it here:

I've read a lot online from people saying I don't like Wizkid. Even Wizkid himself thinks I don't like him. Why he or anyone would think so is puzzling to me to be honest. Apart from his achievements after he started insulting me online a few weeks ago...everything else, every success Wizkid has recorded in the last 3/4 years is on LIB. All the awards, all the record breaking feats, his sold out concerts, his foreign magazine features, and collaborations, everything that has built him up to the young man he is today is on LIB. Please verify! Search my blog. Please continue...

I was a huge Wizkid fan. The only song I danced harder to than his 'Dance For Me' track was Fuse ODG's 'Antenna and Kiss Daniel & DJ Shabzy's Raba. So, no, I had no dislike for Wizkid. But about a year ago, I noticed his indirect snide remarks at me...and when some other music star beefed with me, Wizkid showed his support and made disrespectful comments. That was when I noticed he had issues with me... but that didn't stop me from writing about him and celebrating him.

Now to the issue at hand. When I reported that he was served quit notice at his Lekki home, I stated fact and I didn't write it out of malice. It's not everyday you get exclusive stories...and I'm sure any other blogger who got the story first would also have published it. So, there was no beef, I was just doing my job. A day or so after I wrote this story, Wizkid went on my instagram page to call me names and lied that I slept with some director of his...which I have said before is 1000% lies! But the insult and lies is not why the police is now involved.

Here's the thing; You can insult me, insult my family, call me any names you like, even lie that I slept with your forefathers...but don't threaten me. If you threaten me, I will act!

I read people online saying that I reported to the police because I am scared of Wizkid. No, my darlings, I am not afraid of Wizkid. Though I do not take his threats lightly. I went to the authorities for two reasons...and please young boys of our generation, pay attention to what I am about to write below.

You see, violence against women and threat of violence against women is not okay. Threatening harm to someone in a public space is a criminal act in every country of the world, including Nigeria. I bet some of you didn't know that, yeah? You can not publicly threaten someone with harm. You will only get away with it if your victim doesn't report to the authorities. If they do, you will have a case with the police and I promise you, the police take these things seriously.

I reported this case to the authorities because I want our young men to know this is not okay. You should not raise your hands on a woman. You shouldn't even threaten to raise your hands on a woman. Wizkid wrote that he would send his 16 year old cousin to beat the shit out of me. Letting Wizkid get away with it is basically telling our young men that this is okay...and it's not!

After Wizkid made the threat to me, I saw a lot of teen boys hailing and applauding him. To them, this was okay. If their idol can threaten a woman with harm, and use derogatory words, they also can do it...and that's how the circle of abuse of women continues. Women being called 'smelly pussy' trended online for a day or two! Little boys were happy to use the words. Sad!

It is appalling to me that anyone, especially women, would cheer Wizkid on. When he wrote RIP Linda, I saw a few young girls write same, laughing. This is not a laughing matter. It doesn't matter whether you like me or not! This is not about Linda Ikeji. This is about abuse of women which has eaten deep into our society, so deep that it has now been accepted as normal. Men do it all the time and get away with it. So many women are battered by their husbands and they refuse to speak up because of the stigma. They refuse to seek help because they are afraid of what people will say. I am sorry, I am not one of those women. I refuse to be victimized. And as long as I have my voice and my platform, I will speak up.

We women have to come together to lend a strong voice to the plight of women in our continent. When we see a woman being physically and mentally abused, let's act. Let's speak up. Let's not laugh and say she deserves it. If we continue to keep quiet, the circle of abuse will continue. And one day, You, yes You, will find yourself in the receiving end of a thundering slap, followed by heavy blows. If not you, then maybe your daughter? Let's condemn violence and threat of violence against women! This is not acceptable!

Young men like Wizkid, a father of two young boys himself, should never advocate violence against women. One day, he will have a daughter, how would he feel if another male threatens to put hands on her or even calls her a hoe?

I can't count how many times Wizkid called me a hoe in his rant against me. That's what boys do. When they get into a fight with a woman, they try to slut-shame her. Smelly pussy, hoe, ashawo etc. You call a woman, who gave another young woman, whose real name she doesn't even know N500,000 just because she said she would rather work by carrying cement than prostitute herself, that's the person you call a hoe? When your mind is so warped you can't differentiate between a woman and a hoe, then this is what happens. Except you drive to Sanusi Fanfuwa at 2am to pick up a prostitute, who proudly describes herself as one, then you shouldn't call any woman a hoe.

Even Tupac who was a well known thug could differentiate between the types of women he dealt with. When asked in an interview why he called women bitches, he said people shouldn't confuse things, that he wouldn't address a mother or a sister the way he would address a bitch, that the bitches were the ones he dealt with in the clubs who behaved like one. He reiterated that he respected women!

In more civilized countries, Wizkid would have lost his endorsements and spent the next year or so apologizing and being in the fore-front of promoting anti-violence crusades against women. It took Chris Brown years to get back on his feet after his assault on a woman. Up till today, he doesn't have any major endorsements and some countries still deny him entrance into their country i.e Australia for something he did 7 years ago. Yes, violence against women is serious!

And there's the case of incitement. When you have power and influence, you have to be careful what you say in public. Because you have such power, something you say can influence your followers. A fan can commit acts that even you may not support or might not even condone. But because it came out of your mouth, they think you mean it. So it is irresponsible to say things that might be inciteful. In Law, you can be held responsible when people act based on what you said in public. Tupac was charged to court and indicted after some thugs killed a police officer. The thugs went to court and mentioned that their idol encouraged violence against LA police officers in a song where he said 'Drop a cop'. So, we folks with some measure of influence should be more careful with our utterances. People are watching and listening!

The second reason I filed a police report is to encourage other women in similar situations to do same. My dear ladies, if a man threatens to puts hands on you, and you feel the threat is real, report to the authorities. Don't wait until he does it. What if you don't survive it? If he's picked up and may be charged to court (yes, you can be charged to court for making threats...it's a misdemeanor with a prison sentence), then he will think twice before making threats against you in the future or any other woman for that matter.

I went as far as I did for me and for other women. This is to pass a strong message to our young men that these kinds of behaviour towards women will not be tolerated. Should not be tolerated. If you assault or even threaten to assault a woman, the law will come after you if she chooses not to be silent. Women, don't be silent. Let's break the circle. For your sake, for my sake, for the sake of our daughters, grand daughters, great grand daughters and all other women that will follow them.

And that's really all I have to say in the matter. Thank you guys for reading

And to Wizkid fans, please be rest assured that I wish him all the best in life. He will continue to grow from strength to strength (as long as he doesn't endorse violence against women) and his light will never diminish. God brought him to this level and will continue to keep him. I have nothing but love for his craft and hope that one day, we will put this behind us.
God bless him, me, you and everyone else in the world
Cheers.

The fight between Wizkid and Linda Ikeji continues in 2016, and this is the latest one that happened few days ago between the popular blogger, Linda Ikeji and Ayo Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid.

Linda Ikeji had written that on her blog that Wizkid was recently served an eviction notice from his Lekki home after he had failed to renew his contract. The news generated a lot of controversies from the singer fans who thought he had bought the house in 2013 after thanking God for the apartment, and some of his fans doubted he had bought the new house in Los Angeles he posted last week, he had thanked God for the new building also, but fans doubted if it is another showbiz stunt.

The news did not go well with Wizkid, as the news probably have tainted his rich boy and "living the dream" image with fans and instead of going through proper channels, he immediately took matters into his own hands literally by going to Linda's Instagram comment section and becomes a fan. He accused Linda Ikeji of hating on his success and also said that his director once had to leave Linda Ikeji in his hotel after sex, because she oozes from her downward section (Go figure).

Well Linda Ikeji decided to respond with all the name calling and specifically to deny the sex with the director, and this is what she wrote:

So my darling little 'friend' Wizkid came on my IG page this morning to blast me for writing yesterday that he was given quit notice at the Lekki home he claimed he bought some years ago, which he actually rented. He threatened to beat me up...called me an ugly old bitch...(I'm ugly? lol) says I don't have a man (crying over that..) and called my mum a loser...(what a child).

Anyway, all that don't matter, people have said worse to me...what I wanted to address is the part where he said I slept with his director and he left me in a hotel...that one I will definitely want to address because some people actually believe it. That my dear friends, is a lie! 

First and foremost, I've never met Wizkid one on one. I've only seen him once in real life on stage at a show a few years ago. I've never met anybody who is his director. Guess he put that line in his comments to defame me. You that mad that people now know the house is not yours? Lol.

Trust me, if I knew someone was Wizkid's director, I'd rather kill myself than sleep with him or any other entertainer for that matter (except maybe he's my husband..hehe) because I know how some of these entertainers are...they kiss and tell a lot. You can't afford to be messing around in their circle. So, no, I have NEVER slept with Wizkid's director. I live a celibate life..most of the time. (Though, that has to end soon...I'm getting old and missing out on that part of life...lol)

I've always been an advocate of women respecting their bodies and owning their own. And I feel sex should only happen when you're in committed relationship (that is if you can't wait till marriage) and I recommend celibacy for a long as you're not committed to someone. There's absolutely no dignity in sleeping around and messing around with different men. It's ugly and God don't like ugly. So no, I'm not that woman, and will never be that woman. Nice try, Wizkid! 

Having said that, I'm sure, you wonder why Wizkid is so mad at me? To be honest, I don't know either. All I know is that his beef with me started a long time ago but he decided to start bashing me online after I refused a meeting with him. A few months ago, he asked his PR people to contact me, that he wanted to talk to me. For some reason, he thought I didn't like him and I was hurting his image online. He wanted to see how I could write more positive things about him but I turned down the meeting. Not that I have anything against him, I sincerely don't! I think he's an amazing talent and one of the few music stars in Nigeria with a midas touch. So this wasn't personal. I just didn't want to meet him. If he lobbies me then it means I won't be able to write anything about him anymore...and my job is to write...about everything, including entertainers.

I am cordial with some of them...many of them I have never met. I try to stay away from gatherings where they are because the more friends you make in the entertainment industry, the less you can write. And that will inadvertently affect your work. The few ones that I call acquaintances, it's hard to write about them because you feel you're cool with them and even when you write, they call you to complain. So, the fewer 'friends' I have in the entertainment industry, the better my job will be.

So Wizkid can bash me all he wants...but I will continue to do my job. Maybe he thinks the more he bashes me, then I will stop writing about him? Won't work. But meanwhile, if he tells a lie about me, I will address it. LIB plans to be around for a long time...some of these people will come and go! :-).

Thanks everyone and Wizkid fans for reading my response. 

Oh and by the way, did I mention that his Porsche car is also on hire purchase? Oh sh*t, I just mentioned that! Lol. And no, darling, you're not 25! We know your real age! Continue to have an amazing career while I watch and continue to celebrate you.

Kisses

Hey Hold Up!!!!!

There is an update, after the long epistle from Linda Ikeji, Wizkid decided to clap back, that is "counter-clap back". This time the Star Boy went to Snapchat to throw out some derogatory statement.

The whole pictures do speak for themselves:

After Don Jazzy and Olamide headies clash, a lot of Nigerian artistes have also brought their feud with fellow artistes public, and the latest one is between Dammy Krane and Wizkid. Dammy Krane had stepped forward and claims to be the real street and won't take nonsense from fellow artistes, especially artistes that steal his song, and mentioned Wizkid.

Dammy Krane went on Twitter to rant, and some of the tweets he posted can be seen below:

Olamide while in a beef with Don Jazzy claims to be from Mainland and threatens Don Jazzy not to come around his area before they ended the feud, and now it seems Dammy Krane is claiming to be from Surulere and Oshodi part of Lagos state.

Nigerian singer, Wizkid, has once again raised the bar for other Nigerian musicians, because while a lot of them are struggling to feature artistes abroad on their singles, Wizkid seems to have them in his pocket, and they dance to his music without knowing him.

Multiple-platinum selling, Grammy Award winning American superstar R. Kelly has featured Wizkid in our of his track " Just Want To Thank You", off his 13th studio album, "The Buffet"
