The accused faced charges of conspiracy, theft of intellectual property, piracy, and cyber-related crimes.

Despite pleading not guilty, Animashaun urged the court to remand the suspects in a correctional centre pending the resolution of the case.

Meanwhile, Toyin Abraham, the affected actress, recently shared her ordeal of experiencing panic attacks and hospitalization following the distressing revelation of her movie falling victim to piracy.

Grammy No Longer My Goal, I Want Headies – Whitemoney

Published

on

Whitemoney, former Big Brother Naija winner and musician, has announced a shocking change of heart, abandoning his long-held ambition to win a Grammy Award.

In a recent interview with content creator Egungun, Whitemoney revealed that he no longer covets the prestigious American music award, citing concerns that it has been compromised and lost its value.

Instead, he has set his sights on the local Headies Awards, a more humble and meaningful recognition in his eyes.

He said, “The way things are going now, Grammy don cast. Make we manage Headies. I’m not sure if I’m still pursuing my desire of winning Grammys. Now I’m pursuing any award that keeps me relevant.

“Because after what Grammy organisers did to our superstars, Davido and Burna Boy at the last award ceremony, it’s now looking like they are using Nigeria for publicity stunt. But never say never. My style of music is unique. If it takes me to the Grammys, no wahala.”

Recall that last year, Whitemoney proudly proclaimed that his hit single “Oyoyo” deserves a Grammy Award.

With unwavering confidence, he asserted that the song has cemented its status as the “biggest song” in Eastern Nigeria, a testament to its widespread popularity and critical acclaim.

In a social media post, Samklef labeled Simi as “ungrateful,” alongside another artist, Ric Hassani, claiming they were the “most ungrateful” individuals he has worked with.

Responding directly to Samklef’s tweet, Adekunle Gold emphatically stated that his wife, Simi, owes nothing to the producer.

The singer condemned Samklef’s behavior as immature, rebuking him for his actions.

He wrote, “When will it be your turn to receive sense from your 7th heaven? Because you are clearly lost in your own damn mind. Simi doesn’t owe you sh*t and it’s about time you stopped calling her name every 3 market days. If anything, you owe me! Stop fooling around and act your age!”

Why People Think I’m In Illuminati’ – Tyla

Published

on

Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Tyla Laura Seethal, known as Tyla, recently addressed rumors suggesting her affiliation with the Illuminati.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan Magazine, she refuted the notion that joining the Illuminati is necessary for achieving success in the music industry.

Tyla emphasized that her rise to stardom is attributed to her talent and hard work, with her faith being a central aspect of her journey.

She clarified that despite speculation, she is not a member of any cult, reaffirming that her accomplishments are rooted in her devotion to God.

She said “People already think I’m in the Illuminati? Oh, now. I know some people think that’s the only way, but it really isn’t. God is the center of everything that we are doing, and clearly, it’s working.”

Discussing her identity as a mixed-race South African in America, Tyla addressed misconceptions about denying her Blackness.

She said “When people are like, ‘You’re denying your Blackness,’ it’s not that at all. I never said I am not Black. It’s just that I grew up as a South African knowing myself as Coloured.

“And now that I’m exposed to more things, it has made me other things too. I’m also mixed-race. I’m also Black. I know people like finding a definition for things, but it’s ‘and,’ not ‘or’.”
