“Old Woman Weh No Get Sense” – Netizens Drag Shan George for Weighing in on Wizkid and Davido Feud

Published

on

Nollywood actress Shan George is facing backlash after expressing her support for Davido amid Wizkid’s ongoing rants targeting the artist.

For the past 24 hours, Wizkid has been vocal about his disdain for Davido and his associates, labeling Davido’s career as “wack” and claiming that those around him are financially struggling yet continue to follow him around.

In response to Wizkid’s tirade, Shan George shared a photo of Davido on her social media, calling him “001” and quoting his song “Unavailable,” implying that Davido is not available for Wizkid’s antics. Her post read, “Unavailable!! 001.”

However, her comments drew significant criticism from netizens, many of whom accused her of meddling in a conflict that doesn’t concern her. Comments included:

– One user, Queen Ododoade, remarked, “Grandma self no get sense.”
– Diva Tboss added, “Baba! Stop it now; you are like a mother to both of them. Tufiakwa.”
– Levi042son chimed in with, “Old woman wey no get sense. You can’t even settle a fight at your age.”
– Ebyrioakasi187 urged her to “rest,” while others called her “old Mama” and “old woman wan dey put mouth for small children matter.”
– One user questioned her involvement, saying, “If they were our kids, would you support this?”

Shan George is not alone in receiving criticism for her remarks. Big Brother Naija winner Phyna also faced backlash for praising Wizkid and referring to him as her father, stating that her tweet was generating anger, which she found amusing given the country’s challenges.

Talent manager Paulo Okoye condemned the public spat, calling it shameful and urging the artists to reconsider their actions, warning they may regret it in the future. Music executive Soso Soberekon celebrated Davido’s status as the most endorsed Nigerian artist, comparing his influence to that of football star Mo Salah.

Commenting on the prolonged feud, Do2dtun described it as one of the longest rivalries in Nigerian entertainment history, expressing his fatigue over their constant bickering.

Why I won’t sign up-and-coming artistes – Tiwa Savage

Published

on

Nigerian singer-songwriter and actress Tiwa Savage has revealed that she has no plans to sign upcoming artists, citing the stress and responsibility involved in managing musicians. Instead, she aims to create an ecosystem where African artists can thrive independently.

Speaking in an interview with Forbes Africa on Thursday, Savage explained that handling artists can be overwhelming. “Everyone always asks me, ‘When will you sign an artiste?’ I don’t think I have the gift to sign another artiste, because artistes are stressful. I could just be sleeping, and then I will wake up and my artist is trending for something else,” she said.

Rather than signing musicians, Savage is focused on launching a music school that will equip artists with the skills they need before signing with record labels that can properly support them.

She also emphasized the importance of African artists building their own industry instead of seeking validation abroad. “Why are we trying to break into another market? We should build our own to be the one others try to break into,” she said, highlighting the need for infrastructure, affordable data, and investment in Africa’s entertainment industry.

Beyond music, the ‘Somebody’s Son’ hitmaker is expanding her portfolio, having made her executive producer debut in 2024 with Water and Garri. Looking ahead, she is setting her sights on greater ambitions. “I want to go into my mogul era – billionaire Tiwa Savage,” she declared.

Portable Apologizes to Ogun State Government, Seeks Divine Intervention

Published

By Abigail Philip David

Controversial street singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has publicly apologized to the Ogun State government following recent legal troubles.

For weeks, the singer has been entangled in a dispute with the Ogun State Police Command, which declared him wanted on charges of conspiracy, serious assault, armed violence, public disturbance, and attempted murder. The allegations stemmed from claims that he recruited armed thugs to carry out attacks.

In response, Portable initially denied the accusations, claiming they were an attempt to bring him down. He challenged the police to present evidence and labeled them as unjust.

However, in a recent Instagram post, the singer shifted his tone, praying for divine intervention. He pleaded with God to turn his struggles into blessings, protect his family, and send him a helper. Expressing remorse, Portable admitted that fear drove him to flee.

“Ogun State Government, I’m sorry. It was fear that made me run. Thank God the police are our friends and family. God is everywhere—please forgive me. I believe in You. Any disappointment is a blessing,” he wrote.

Earlier this month, Portable had a heated clash with authorities after the government sealed his unfinished building and hotel over illegal development without proper approval. The incident led to the detention of some of his workers and customers.

Following the ordeal, he canceled his London show, citing the need to protect his family and properties. Over the weekend, he expressed frustration, lamenting that despite his contributions to Ogun State, he felt unappreciated.

In a desperate appeal, Portable even called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene on his behalf, urging him to plead with Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun. He claimed that his troubles were politically motivated, stemming from his support for a political figure, Yayi.

Despite the controversy, the singer remains hopeful, relying on faith to navigate his challenges.
