Ikechukwu’s divorce, Davido’s N300m donation, Omah Lay’s female fan… top stories of last week

Last week was eventful in showbiz. TheCable Lifestyle looks at some of the top entertainment stories that got tongues wagging in the past seven days. 

EEDRIS VS EX-REMEDIES MEMBERS 

Last week, Eedris Adulkareem, the ace rapper, was in the news again over his controversial commentaries. 

Eedris claimed he and Eddy Remedy were the founding members of The Remedies, the now-defunct band. 

Eddy and Tony Tetuila, another member of the group, however, countered Eedris’ claim. 

While Tetuila said he is “highly disappointed” in Eedris for “spewing lies”, Eddy argued that he single-handedly formed The Remedies and invited the duo to the group.

Eedris also alleged that 50 Cent assaulted Psquare on the first day of the Nigerian Breweries-organised concert at Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos in 2004.

He claimed that 50 Cent’s entourage “flogged” and “chased away” several Nigerian singers, including Psquare.

However, Paul Okoye, a Psquare member, dismissed Eedris’ claim, adding that “the group was not even billed to perform at the show”.

DAVIDO DONATES N300M TO ORPHANS

The Afrobeats star credited the account of the David Adeleke Foundation, his non-profit organisation, with N300 million for disbursement to orphanages across Nigeria.

Davido also released the list of orphanage homes that will benefit from his N300 million donation.

The singer said the gesture is part of his annual contribution to the nation.

OMAH LAY’S CONTROVERSIAL STAGE DANCE

Last week, Omah Lay left tongues wagging on social media after he invited a female fan who was said to have attended his concert with her boyfriend to join him on stage during the rendition of his song ‘Bend You.’

The controversial incident occurred at his ‘Boy Alone’ tour at the Eventim Apollo in London, UK.

Videos of the duo’s silhouettes shared online by concertgoers caused an uproar, with many social media users condemning the singer and the lady.

IKECHUKWU’S DIVORCE

Ikechukwu Onunaku, the Nigerian rapper, last week, confirmed he and Ella, his wife, have divorced.

The couple tied the knot in May 2021. But rumours surfaced their union hit the rocks in November 2022.

Ikechukuw, in a recent interview, revealed that he tried his best to make the relationship work, but he was unappreciated.

“My wife and I are no longer together. We separated due to irreconcilable differences. It wasn’t over infidelity,” he said.
