Neo and Venita Akpofure, both former contestants on Big Brother Naija and cousins, outshone the crowd at the 10th African Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards’ cultural day in Lagos.

Neo clinched the title of Best Dressed Male, while Venita secured the Best Dressed Female accolade for the second consecutive year.

Dressed in traditional Itsekiri regalia, the duo dazzled attendees at the event. They were rewarded handsomely for their sartorial elegance, each receiving a cheque of N1 million from the event organizers.

The cultural extravaganza served as a prelude to the much-anticipated 10th AMVCA Main Awards Ceremony, slated for Saturday, May 11, at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos State.

Renowned Nigerian artist Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ, widely recognized as Brymo, has boldly claims that his music uniquely captivates listeners for a remarkable two-hour duration.

This assertion emerged during an exclusive interview with Chude Jideonwo, host of the widely-followed #WithChude weekly interview series on X.

A snippet of this compelling conversation was released online on Friday, sparking considerable interest among fans and music enthusiasts alike.

He said “There’s no Nigerian artiste alive or dead, that people can sit down and listen to for two straight hours that is not Brymo.

“Every famous Nigerian artiste today who thinks they are made – they are all wrong. Most of them don’t even own their works.”

The host announced via Twitter that the complete interview will premiere on YouTube on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Brymo, a former signee of the ‘Choc City’ record label, ignited a storm of controversy with a revealing voice note shared on X.

In the recording, he admitted to soliciting a sexual relationship from fellow singer Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, in exchange for a music collaboration.

Simi’s husband, singer Adekunle Gold, responded strongly, cautioning Brymo to “stay away” from his wife and cease “disrespecting” their family.

Despite the backlash, Brymo defended his actions in an interview with TVC, characterizing his advances towards the female artist as “an artistic pursuit.”

Brymo said, “One day I was somewhere and I met Adekunle Gold, I was just like, ‘Oh! Gold.’ The first time I was ever meeting him. And he requested a collaboration… When he came to me, I just said flatly, ‘Oga, I’m not doing any collaboration right now.’

“Two weeks after, Simi came. I didn’t know they [Simi and Adekunle Gold were together]. I’m sure you all know about Falz. He took the fall that I was supposed to take. I was the target… But I’m a smart guy.

“When I saw her [Simi], I said no features except I am laying with the woman I am working with so it can be intense. Did she not sleep with Adekunle Gold? Is that not why the music is extra good? But she said no, and I was like okay, bye-bye and then she left.”

“she wasn’t the only one I proposed it to. But guess what? I’ve made music with seven women. I didn’t sleep with anyone of them.

“After that incident, I’ve recorded songs with four women. We didn’t even have that [sexual] conversation at all. We just made music. So, it wasn’t about me asking for sex for collaboration. No, no, it wasn’t about that. For me, it was an artistic pursuit.”

In response to Brymo’s remarks, Simi addressed the issue in an interview with media personality Angela Yee on her show “Way Up.”

Expressing her bewilderment, Simi questioned the motives behind Brymo and Samuel Oguachuba’s, also known as Samklef, comments.

Young C, a content creator on TikTok, has had his account Youngcentertainmnet banned after he streamed live footage that was buried alive for a full day.

As part of an audacious challenge, Young C. was buried alive in a coffin for a full day.

He thanked his audience for their support and invited them to follow his recently established TikTok account.

He said “Hello guys I am finally out, thank you for your support after being buried alive for twenty-four hours, I just got to know that my previous account has been brought down. Please follow my new account so I can get up to one thousand followers. He advises people not to replicate what he did.

Young C started the challenge on Wednesday with the goal of spending a full day underground. He had already declared his intention to broadcast his experience from the coffin at night and posted a video to dispel any doubts that it was a hoax.

He showed that his light and camera were still working by sharing a video taken inside the coffin, and he vowed to finish the challenge no matter what.
