    Davido’s babymama, Sophie boasts of owning a boat

    Sophie Momodu, the mother of Davido’s first child and daughter, Imade Adeleke, has revealed that she owns a boat.

    Momodu, who is one of the stars of season three of The Real Housewives of Lagos on Showmax, made this known in episode five of the reality show.

    After making her debut in episode three of the reality show, the entrepreneur, beauty and fashion connoisseur has pitched her tent with Carolyna Hutchings and Mariam Timmer.

    It all began when Dabota Lawson, another co-star of the reality show, who was hosting other co-stars, queried why Sophie, Carolyna and Mariam decided to abandon her yacht, which was rented for N1.8m for a hired boat by Sophie.

    Responding to Dabota, the 37-year-old mother of one said, “I didn’t book a boat, I own a boat and my jetty is just down my stairs.” 

    On why she decided to come with her boat, she said, “I felt why do I need to drive all the way to Lekki to join a boat when I can just go down stairs in my home and get on a boat down here.”

    She further stated that she didn’t know all the stars of the reality show were meant to board one yacht to the beach house for the hangout.

    “It wasn’t communicated to me that we all have to come together, hence why I had to come in my boat.”

    It was evident that the tension was anything but smooth sailing for the ladies, who gathered for the hangout.

    Davido donates to over 500 motherless homes, shares list

    Award-winning singer Davido said his foundation, the David Adeleke Foundation, has successfully supported over 500 motherless babies’ homes this year.

    This is in fulfillment of the promise to donate N300 million to orphanages and charity homes that help young people avoid drug abuse and addiction, which he made on his 32nd birthday in 2024.

    He wrote: “Once again, my birthday this year, we are donating to orphanages and a charity that helps young people stay away from drug abuse and addiction. This year, it’s ₦300m. Details to follow soon.”

    Odumodublvck: Davido, Wizkid played key roles in my rise to fame

    Rapper Odumodublvck has revealed in an interview on the Afrobeats Podcast,  the significant roles Davido and Wizkid played in his rise to stardom.

    According to Odumodublvck, Wizkid was the first major Nigerian artist to share his music, posting his song “Picanto” and later “Declan Rice”, which became an instant hit.

    Wizkid’s endorsement drove mass attention to Odumodublvck’s music, propelling him from relative obscurity to fame.

    “In Nigeria, Wizkid was the first major artist to post my music. He posted picanto…Then after I dropped ‘Declan Rice’, he posted the song and there’s also a video of him vibing to the song”, he said.

    Odumodublvck also expressed his gratitude to Davido, who chose to help him when he didn’t have to.

    The rapper praised Davido’s kindness and generosity, stating that he will always appreciate his support.

    “David (Davido) is someone who helped me when he didn’t need to. So there’s no way I will say anything bad about him even if I have the chance to”, he said.

    2025 Grammy: Who brings home the biggest music awards tonight

    Finally, the d-day is here. The 67th Grammy Awards will be holding tonight at Crypto.com Arena Los Angeles, California. The event will feature talented Afrobeats artistes who are nominated in various categories. Burna Boy, Yemi Alade, Asake, Wizkid, Tems, Davido, and Lojay are competing for the crown at music’s biggest night.

    Check out Nigerian entertainers and their body of works nominated by the Recording Academy.

    Yemi Alade — ‘Tomorrow’

    One of African pop music’ biggest stars, Yemi Alade would be a legend even without a Grammy nod. She first rose to fame a decade ago thanks to continental hits like “Johnny” and “Oh My Gosh” with Rick Ross. In July, she took her sound to new heights on Rebel Queen, an album incorporating genres such as highlife and dancehall for a global celebration of Black music that solidifies her reputation as “Mama Africa.”

    “Tomorrow,” the GRAMMY-nominated song from the album, is a triumphant, bright amapiano tune, the latest result of Alade’s flirtation with the genre. Produced by Yasso and incorporating choral vocals, the lyrics in English and Nigerian Pidgin assert the singer’s unflappable confidence and self-belief. “I dance away my sorrow,” she sings, “Rain or shine, I’ll be shining like a diamond.”

    “Tomorrow” marks the legendary artist’s first-ever GRAMMY nomination, but whether or not she grabs the golden gramophone, it’s clear from her song that nothing will phase this Rebel Queen.

    Burna Boy — Higher

    Burna Boy is such an undisputed force in African music, it’s not surprising for him to be nominated in this Category two years in a row. Already a GRAMMY winner for Best Global Music Album (Twice As Tall took the prize in 2021), his bold, American R&B-inspired “City Boys” earned a Best African Music Performance nod last year and was among a medley of tracks Burna performed on the Grammy stage. The braggadocious hip-hop song ultimately fell to Tyla’s “Water,” however.

    The success of his 2023 album I Told Them may have put Burna Boy in a more contemplative state of mind, because “Higher,” his current nominated track, is a much more conscious effort. Over a mellow, amapiano-inspired beat from producer Yo Dibs, Burna reflects on his limited time on Earth and the harshness of daily life: “You know say streets don’t love you rara / It’s full of snakes and spiders / Make a wrong move, lose your life / Make it hard for your mother to sleep at night.”

    The song’s video, conceptually similar to Drake’s visual for “God’s Plan,” shows the singer making an emotional visit to his hometown of Port Harcourt and distributing aid with his charity group Project PROTECT. It seems that magnanimity has already been rewarded: The song gained 1.3 million streams on Spotify in its first day of release, a new record for an African artist, and its video has been viewed over 7.3 million times as of this writing.

     Chris Brown — ‘Sensational’ feat. Davido & Lojay

    It can’t be denied that Chris Brown is something of a survivor in the music industry. The GRAMMY winner for Best R&B Album (F.A.M.E.) is as famous for his hits — from “Run It!” and “Kiss Kiss,” to “Look at Me Now” and “No Guidance” — as he is infamous for his checkered past.

    Now he’s back in the GRAMMY spotlight with a single from his 2023 album 11:11. “Sensational” marks a bold stylistic pivot for the R&B singer as he adopts Afrobeats for a slick song that could be called, well, “breezy.” Adding some African bona-fides, he’s recruited Davido — one of the genre’s most important acts and a GRAMMY nominee last year in this Category — as well as rising artist Lojay, for feature verses. The result is a transatlantic collab that makes the case that Americans can take on African genres too, with a little help from their continental friends.

    Asake and Wizkid — ‘MMS’

    In just a few short years, Asake has established himself as one of the most creative and charismatic new talents in Afrobeats. His 2023 record Work of Art blended the globally-aspirational Nigerian pop sound with South African house offshoot amapiano and the indigenous Yoruba genre fújì; Asake earned a Grammy nod in this category for album single “Amapiano” last year.

    Asake isn’t one to rest on his laurels, however. He dropped another record, Lungu Boy, earlier in 2024, for which he switched up his sound further and recruited global stars like Stormzy, Central Cee, and Travis Scott. Single “MMS” keeps things refreshingly local in terms of guest spots, recruiting GRAMMY-winner Wizkid for the feature. Incorporating the same Yoruba-language choral vocals Asake used throughout his last album, he trades verses with Wiz over a glamorous, jazz-inflected, ‘90s R&B-inspired beat by P.Priime. The lyrics, in English, Yoruba, and Nigerian Pidgin, narrate Asake’s journey to finding his signature sound and letting fate determine his path. It’s a classy, reflective song from a pair of Africa’s biggest stars.

    Tems — ‘Love Me JeJe’

    Tems is already a GRAMMY winner and the first African artist to top the Billboard Hot 100, all thanks Future sampling her song “Higher” on his hit “Wait For U.” Yet 2024 was the year in which the Nigerian artist stepped into her own spotlight, finally releasing her debut album Born in the Wild. Its single “Love Me JeJe” hit No. 1 on the UK Afrobeats charts and No. 3 on Billboard’s U.S. Afrobeats Songs.

    Interpolating an identically-titled 1997 hit from Seyi Sodimu that’s regarded as an African pop classic, “Love Me JeJe” is an Afrobeats tune as tender as the Pidgin phrase that makes up its title. Tems’ smooth, heartfelt vocals float over the track as she sings of her desire for unconditional, supportive love: “I need your lovin’, so fresh, so clean / Love me in and out, unfailingly / And I’ll be down now, anytime you call me.”

    Debuting the song during her set at Coachella 2024, it could be argued that “Love Me JeJe” was meant to provide American audiences with a bridge to African music, from its past icons to its present talents. With her GRAMMY nod for the song, it seems that Tems has done just that.

  • Davido launches electric bike line in Africa

    Davido launches electric bike line in Africa

    Music superstar Davido has announced the launch of his line of electric bikes in Africa. 

    The venture, a partnership with Spiro, Africa’s leading electric vehicle player, aims to empower motorcycle riders and promote sustainable transportation across the continent.

    Davido shared the exciting news on Instagram, revealing that the idea had been years in the making. 

    He wrote: “Manifestation is spiritual. Years ago, I claimed 30 BG, but it wasn’t just about success – it was about purpose. Today, I’m transforming that vision into something bigger: generational wealth and ownership. With my own line of electric bikes, in partnership with Spiro, we’re not just building a product – we’re building a movement”. 

    The electric bike line is designed to provide a Made-in-Africa solution for the continent’s transportation needs. 

    Davido emphasised the importance of creating solutions within Africa for African needs.

    He wrote: “This isn’t just about business – it’s about creating a Made in Africa solution for Africa.

    “Streams might belong to foreign labels, but this is how you flip the script. This is how you turn influence into equity, and visibility into ownership. With financing solutions for riders across Nigeria and Africa, we’re empowering the hardworking individuals who have always been the lifeline of our economy.”

    The bike market in Africa is a significant sector, with over 27 million motorcycles powering the dreams and hustle of the people. 

    Davido acknowledged the vital role motorcycle riders, also known as Okada riders in Nigeria, have played in his career and sees this partnership as a way to give back.

    “These same Okada drivers, who have supported me throughout my career, are now at the centre of this vision. They moved my music, my name, and my story across every corner of Nigeria and Africa. Now it’s time to give back.

    “When I said we rise by lifting others, it wasn’t just a motto, it was the blueprint. This partnership I proof that when we create for our people, by our people, we build something that lasts,” he stressed. 

    The electric bikes are designed to be stylish and sustainable, with Davido teasing the final product reveal. 

    The launch of Davido’s electric bike line is set to revolutionise transportation in Africa, providing a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to traditional motorcycles. 

    With financing solutions available for riders across Nigeria and Africa, this venture is poised to empower the hardworking individuals who have always been the lifeline of the economy.

    “And let’s not forget – these bikes are fly! Big shoutout to Tycoone and Spiro team for the groundbreaking design can’t wait until we reveal the final product. Oh yeah, I put my people on.

    “This is more than a deal; it’s a statement. It’s ownership, empowerment, and legacy in motion. Africa is not just catching up – we’re redefining what it means to lead. The future isn’t waiting for us – we’re driving straight into it.

    “We are live in Nigeria, Togo, Benin, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda , Tanzania and Ghana,” he added.

  • Davido’s influence surpasses his father – Ibrahim Chatta

    Davido’s influence surpasses his father – Ibrahim Chatta

    Seasoned actor Ibrahim Chatta has stated that Davido’s influence has eclipsed that of his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke.

    Chatta’s comments were part of a larger discussion about respect, age, and achievement.

    He emphasised that people’s accomplishments and impact, rather than their age, determine their level of respect.

    Using historical figures like Alexander the Great as examples, Chatta argued that exceptional achievements can earn individuals a level of respect and recognition that transcends their age.

    He applied this same logic to Davido, stating that the singer’s remarkable success and widespread influence have earned him a status akin to that of an “elder,” despite his relatively young age.

    He said: “A young person who has things of elders, don’t count their age, they are not children. Alexander The Great started ruling the world at the age of 20 and he died at the age of 33. Everything he achieved, Julius Ceaser, Adolf Hiltler, nobody met up with his achievements but he died at 33, he had completed his lifetime. And you’re calling that kind of person a child? He’s not a child o, you’re only counting his age but he’s an elder. Wizkid is an elder. 

    “The day I sat down with Davido, I was just looking at all the people surrounding him, people who were ready to be killed before you could get to him. He’s an elder. Okay, Davido’s dad is a billionaire that has been doing big things in his family, their family is one of wealth, but doesn’t Davido shine differently among the others? Davido’s dad is rich but not like Davido. If Davido’s dad is passing by you might not even recognise him if he comes to Oyo. Davido can’t walk past in Akesan, people would tear him apart, stampede will happen.”
