Davido, Baby Mamas and other stories by Reuben Abati

Davido & Babymama Sophie

“WHAT a relief, my friend!” “What are you relieved about?” “It is this David Adeleke and Sophia Momodu soap opera.”
“I tell you. It is a perfect subject for a good home video. But what is your own?”
“No. Nothing. I am just relieved that the parties involved have agreed to let peace reign”
“This will be about the third time I would hear of that matter being resolved.”

“Well, I think the Momodus and the Adelekes should just spare us. They should not forget there is a child involved. They have suddenly made I made Adeleke, the most famous victim of Baby Mama-Baby Papa palaver in Nigeria. Both Davido and Sophia and their supporters’ clubs should please protect the baby, and not make her a poster child for that kind of subject.”

Nudity saga: KSB challenges Wande Coal, Don Jazzy

Contemporary gospel singer, Kenny Saint Best, has publicly told MAVIN Records boss and respected producer, Don Jazzy, and his prized artiste, Wande Coal, that if they do not stop parading nude girls in their music videos, ‘God will stop you.” The Kennis Music artiste had posted a series of tweets lampooning the duo shortly after the release of Wande Coal’s new video, Go Low. Maintaining that the quasi-nude dancer in the video was a thumb down for her, KSB avers, “My dear brother, Wande Coal, the mercy and favour of God are the elements that brought you this far not nude girls in your video.” Now addressing the duo, she continues, “You are bringing nudity back to Nigeria videos to increase cases of rape in our society. Please, stop it.”

Further, KSB warns, “We don’t want rape cases o. Please, Wande Coal and Don Jazzy, stop this nudity before God stops you.”

Indeed, rape is a sensitive issue in the Nigerian society and elsewhere but taking on these artistes especially on Twitter where they have a groundswell of fans and followers was perhaps KSB’s greatest undoing as she inadvertently opened a floodgate of hate tweets. Mum was the word from Mavin Records.
