  • Duncan Mighty dispels wife beating allegations

    There may be no fact in the news that Port-Harcourt-based hip hop artiste, Duncan Mighty, allegedly beat his wife to pulp, as is being speculated on the social media.

    Last week, pictures of a lady with a battered face tagged to be his wife circulated on the internet.

    The singer, in an Instagram post accompanied by pictures of himself and his wife and a video of his wife and baby, rubbished the wife-beating allegation. He also recalled how sections of the media have been following his life and seeking to destroy his family with fake news.

    “The next news will be that I used my wife for coming back, what do you gain to tarnish my image with lies that I brutalized my wife,” he started.

    “Hehehe, una come late.”

    He then recalled various instances where ‘fake news’ was written about him, even relating that he met a certain blogger who told him his lack of scandal is what has kept him unique.

  • The Duncan Mighty Re-invasion

    While we slept, Duncan Mighty, popularly known as Wene Mighty came and filled our ears with songs. As hilarious as it might seem, some artistes have a way of reasserting their presence when least expected, and such has been the case for the Rivers State born artiste. The ‘Port Harcourt First son’ who came into the Nigerian Music industry as a producer and sound engineer in 2006 and later delved into the singing aspect which apparently paid off and he stuck to.

    In 2010, his second studio album, Legacy(Ahamefuna) made him the rave of the industry, with its frontline single, Port Harcourt Son gaining him airplay even in Lagos and also earning him the nickname and title; Port Harcourt First Son. He continued to make music and released three other albums up until 2016, which didn’t get as much airplay. After being reportedly involved in politics and oil business in the Niger Delta for so long, one would think the art of music making was lost on him already; but he surprised us with a comeback hit in May 2018, featuring Wizkid titled Fake Love. The hype around the song’s release was intense, fortunately it was accepted by fans of both stars and got massive air play.

    Even after 5 albums to his name; Duncan Mighty has found a way over the years, to stay relevant and ever dynamic as he continues doling out back to back hits. With the magnitude of acceptance the collaboration with Wizkid got, he went on to feature on Ceeza Milli’s Sabi and Masterkraft’s Low Waist which also features Flavour. Other features are on the Mavin label’s golden boy, Reekado Bank’s Bio Bio, DJ Xclusive’s Gimme Love and a couple others.

    The artiste has been sighted on social media recently with Nigerian Afro fusion/Reggae/Dancehall artiste Burnaboy in the studio, fueling rumors of a possible collaboration in the nearest future. We can only keep our fingers crossed and hope that Wene Mighty keeps serving us dope music.
