“As a lady if soft life dey hungry you, you have three options; one is either you go out there and make your damn money, two is either you go back to your father, and three is either you go to your brother.”

The ‘Akpi’ crooner, due to ratings and hierarchy, vowed never to do a feature with Burna Boy, Wizkid or Davido.

He said: “I don’t wanna do song with Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, none of those names. I’m not interested because tomorrow it will become, ‘We made you.’ You didn’t make me, I was trending before you met me. I didn’t even know you. You made a video to get my attention in a bathroom. So, who know who? I’m talking about Burna. You made a video to get. Who know who? You, come to me. Otherwise, let it fail. I’m not interested.
“I heard the name Burna Boy not too long ago. But I’ve come to realise that has been putting in work for years. It’s just that the industry didn’t recognise him.
“I heard the name Burna Boy, I think 2017/2018. There was a video he made and he was basically giving me a hint; let’s do something. The video somehow found me. This was 2017/2018. First of all, I thought he was an American artist. I had no idea who he was.”

Popular dancer Kaffy has come under attack for sharing her opinion on marriage.

The celebrity dancer, via the new launched app, Thread spoke about her view on marriage and what to prepare for before getting into it.

This sparked reactions from different users but Kaffy got triggered by a particular comment.

Reacting to the post, a Threads user identified as jayne_sammymere said: “Nawa ooo, if e no work for you no mean say e no go work for others. Marriage is a beautiful thing.”

She said that while terrible partnerships may contribute significantly to the community’s decadent mentality, marriage is a lovely thing.

Kaffy wrote: “No one spoke about it not working or being beautiful, and yes mine failed and yours will if care isn’t taken cuz a lot of you ladies wish without realizing you need to learn and marriage though beautiful is a serious matter.

“Bad relationships are a major contributor to the decadence of the mindset of the community”.

Kaffy and estranged husband got separated in 2022.
