Biztellers could recalled yesterday that Yul Edochie lost his first son, Kambilichukwu Edochie after he fell while playing football.

ede4kay said, “If disappointment was a person…shebi you see yourself now mtcheeeeew!”
dera20112021; “Judy with the bad luck. Men like you should learn from this. Go and watch Abejoye by mount zion. When you open the roof of your house to the devil, he comes in freely. When you were married to your wife alone, devil didn’t have his way over your home. See how your stupidity has led you to something tragic. The time you supposed to hold down your home and train up your grown kids, you went back to changing diapers. Now your first male child is resting with God, away from the shame his father brought upon him.”
mrandmissfreshernigeria: “Oga they have been warning you over the 2nd wife issue u refused,now your first son is dead,the fight now is,who who’s son will inherit the father’s properties, Yul better do the needful it is not a must that you will marry 2nd wife, baby mama is the best, if u did not do something spiritual fight will start in ur family”
amax_praise: “Polygamy is the fastest way to early grave. It brings distractions and lack of concentration. It disorganises homes. It’s possible that no one paid attention to this boy about his health condition because of lack of concentration. Now see the result. I’m really pained, i don’t know how I feel now, but the worst has happened. The world has crashed on this women! Judy biko, its time to let this woman be, that’s if she survives it. I pray almighty God will see her through. May his soul rest in peace.”
chef_miimi: “The Nollywood you are acting to teach people is beginning to happen in your home, hope you learn and make amends.”
Edochie, has not responded to the insensitive comments.
However, his colleague Destiny Etiko condemned the trolls for their baseless accusations and urged them to show empathy during this difficult time.
Destiny Etiko while defending the actor said: “Someone just lost his child. And y’all are still trolling him. Haba Nigerians?? Haba. Total lack of empathy. This isn’t the time for this pls. We just lost a human and not a goat or chicken”.
The actor has been in the industry for over a decade and has starred in several blockbuster movies. He is also a renowned politician and philanthropist who has used his platform to advocate for positive change in the country.

Wizkid’s “Morayo”: Critics, Fans Clash Over Album’s Quality
Renowned Nigerian artist Wizkid recently released his highly anticipated album, Morayo, but the project has ignited a storm of opinions online.
While some fans hailed it as another masterpiece, critics like popular Twitter commentator Daniel Regha have called the album a disappointment, labeling it “quantity over quality.”
In a scathing review posted hours after the album’s release, Daniel Regha rated Morayo 3.5/10, citing repetitive tracks, uninspiring lyrics, and a lack of emotional depth. Regha argued that the album appears designed for TikTok virality rather than offering meaningful musical content.
Key Criticisms from Daniel Regha
Regha pointed out that tracks like “Bend” felt shallow and overly simplistic, while collaborations such as “Bad Girl” featuring Asake failed to live up to expectations. According to him, the standout tracks “Pray” and “Kese (Dance)” provide a glimpse of originality, but they aren’t enough to save the album. He further criticized Wizkid for not dedicating any song to his late mother, an omission many fans found surprising.

Regha concluded by suggesting the album would have been better off as a four-to-five-song EP, stating, “Wizkid needs new musical ideas.”
Fans and Critics React
Regha’s critique sparked divided opinions on social media, with some fans agreeing and others fiercely defending the album. A Twitter user, @AdegboyeBodunde, echoed Regha’s sentiment, comparing Morayo unfavorably to projects by rising artists like Fola Baloranking and Minz. “Honestly, the album is so below average. Even new artists are coming out with bangers back to back,” he tweeted.
However, others were quick to dismiss Regha’s comments, questioning his authority to critique music. @africanvogue lashed out, saying, “Why give this wicked boy a voice? He knows he will get a response from Wizkid’s fans. @DanielRegha has never done anything of worth but pulls down the hard labor of others for his profit. That is criminal!”
Another user, @akinmusi, questioned Regha’s qualifications, writing, “What certifications does he hold in music? Has he authored any scholarly work, thesis, dissertation, or conducted research in the field? I’m genuinely curious.”
Is Morayo a Hit or Miss?
Despite the backlash, Morayo is expected to perform well commercially, driven by Wizkid’s loyal fanbase and widespread hype. The album experiments with new sounds and features top-notch production quality, which Regha himself acknowledged as one of its redeeming features.
However, the larger question remains: Is Wizkid delivering music for artistic growth, or is he leaning too heavily on commercial trends? The polarised reactions to Morayo suggest that Wizkid’s latest project will be a topic of debate for weeks to come.
The release of Morayo highlights the ever-present tension between artistic expression and fan expectations in the music industry.
While critics and fans continue to clash over its quality, one thing is certain: Wizkid remains one of the most talked-about artists in Africa, capable of commanding attention with every move he makes.
