EXCLUSIVE: Wizkid, Davido at war

Wizkid and Davido at the NEA 2012

Fans dreaded this day, media experts predicted it, and even the artistes in question tried avoiding it, but it seemed inevitable from the very beginning – a once buoyant relationship between Ayo ‘Wizkid‘ Balogun and David ‘Davido‘ Adeleke has finally hit the rocks.

The young pop stars are currently at loggerheads, and NET can exclusively tell you that the vibrant ‘Wizzy’ and ‘Omo baba olowo’ are no longer on speaking terms.

Both artistes’ camps have taken sides and are on the verge of calling out names; the tension between both artistes keeps threatening the air of peace left.

Recently Davido and his HKN label crew were reported to have walked out of the NEA Awards show while Wizkid was performing. Fans are already asking questions, the most popular one being ‘what started it all?’

The dispute between Wizkid and Davido might seem sudden to the general public, but it dates back longer than we think. The cause? You’ll have to thank two very important men in the Nigerian music industry – D’banj and Don Jazzy.

FIRST BLOOD

Another student shot dead: RIP Wunmi Adebayo

This time it's a female student of Tai Solarin University of Education. According to classmates and friends of the slain student who sent the story to me, Wunmi Adebayo (pictured above) was shot dead last night at a male friend's house at Golden Estate in Ijebu Ode, Ogun state.

The 200level student was visiting the friend when they were attacked by armed robbers who robbed them and shot her in the face because she fought them off when they tried to rape her.

The 21 year old was buried today at Ijebu Ode according to Islamic rites. Her friends say she was very jovial, friendly and kind hearted. Her candlelight procession will hold tomorrow at skyfield in Lagos.

I have a photo of her corpse but it's probably not necessarily to put here. May her soul rest in peace...amen!

EXCLUSIVE: ‘We haven’t banned Wande Coal’s video’ – NBC responds

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has denied banning pop singer Wande Coal’s video ‘Go low’ on Terrestrial TV last week.

Speaking exclusively with Nigerian Entertainment Today, an NBC spokesperson explained that the commission ‘merely verbally advised stations should edit the musical video’ before using it on Terrestrial TV stations.

‘We have no issues with the lyrics; the issue is with the video clip and just a tiny part of it. The advice is to edit that part before use on broadcasting stations’ said Francisca Aiyetan, a rep from the Broadcast Content and Zonal Coordination of the commission.

She also explained the importance of NBC’s strictness with videos aired on terrestrial free-to-air stations.

‘It is important that we are extra careful with programmes on terrestrial free-to-air stations, because viewers at home receive the signals of these stations without soliciting for them. These stations more or less barge into the privacy (homes) of their viewers, with children (impressionable) watching unfettered’

UNIBEN student, Daniel Ike, gunned down by suspected cultists

23 year old Daniel Ike popularly known as 'Afro Dan', a final year student of Chemical Engineering, University of Benin, was shot in the face on Friday night September 7th at Vincente Hostel, Ekosodin, just behind UNIBEN.

Daniel went to the hostel to see a female friend when he was attacked by some guys who shot him point blank in the face. Daniel died instantly.

Students of the school and friends of Daniel who sent me this story said he had just 20 days left in school before graduation. He was supposed to start his final paper next week Monday.

The reason why he was killed is still unknown as friends say Daniel wasn't a cultist; he was just a popular good looking rich kid. His parents and the police have been informed about his murder.

So sad. RIP, Daniel!
