The event seemed to have really gotten to the singer as he made the revelation on his two social media platforms, Twitter and Instagram.

Big Brother Titans housemate Lukay has described Nelisa as a liar.

During his diary session on Wednesday, the housemate who was asked to talk about some of his fellow housemates said “Nelisa tells a lot of lies.”

Continuing, he said: “She’s always making things up. She literally has a story about everything. I can tell you now that I was almost in a plane crash and she’ll come in and say ‘yes even me I was in a plane the other day and the flight attendant was doing this and that and it starting swinging to the left and to the right’ then you can see her trying to make up the story in her head and she’ll start adding it up and putting it together. She does exactly the same thing with Thaban. They have opinions about every single thing.

“And every single thing you talk about she must have something. She’s never out and can never say I don’t know about this or I’m not part of it. She always has something that she has done that you have done too. There’s no person like that in this world, Big Brother. She has opinions about everything and she’s still young but she feels that she’s done everything in the world. She always has something to say about everything everybody says. No human being can relate to everything in life.”

Singer and songwriter Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo aka Blackface, has accused Afrobeats global star, Wizkid of running away from Nigeria to avoid legal action against him over alleged song theft.

Blackface made the claim in an exclusive interview with ‘The Whistler’ on Wednesday while explaining his recent outburst where he called out the YBNL boss, Olamide and his signee, Asake claiming ownership of ‘Joha’, stating he didn’t grant permission for a remix to be made.

The former member of the defunct popular R&B music group, Plantashun Boiz in 2016, accused Wizzy of copying his song “I Like the Way” in making “Slow Whine”.

Two years later, he announced on social media that he had sued Wizkid for copyright infringement.

Six years after his first accusation, Blackface yet again in 2022, accused Machala of sampling his song ‘Twist and Turn’ for ‘Ginger’, a track from Wizkid’s fourth studio album, ‘Made In Lagos’ featuring Burna Boy.

Stating he called out Olamide Baddo and Asake because he reached out to them but they never responded, Blackface claimed Wizkid has continued to evade legal action reason why he’s running away from Nigeria.

But he promised the ‘Essence’ crooner will certainly be slammed with a lawsuit when his team finds out where he can be reached.

“I called them (Wizkid and Banky W) out for sampling my song ‘I like the way’ which they changed to slow whine without my permission”, he said.

“From that time, they have not reached out to me till today, in fact, I think that is the reason why Wizkid is not staying in Nigeria, he knows he will get served, so they are running up and down from Ghana to Benin Republic to Togo.

“Nobody can find them yet, but once we see them and find out where we can reach them, we will serve them.”

In 2019, fifteen years after the release of “African Queen” by 2Baba Idibia, Blackface, released his own version.

The track, which was a major hit in 2004, created acrimony between the former Plantashun Boiz member and his bandmates.

Blackface accused 2face of stealing the song, claiming to have composed it, and even demanded its ownership

He also accused 2baba of copyright theft, alleging that he remains the original owner of 2Face’s ‘Let Somebody Love You.’

He claimed to have written the song while both of them were in the now-defunct musical group, Plantashun Boiz.
