The Disrespect Towards Davido: A Concern Raised by Nasty Blaq
In a recent expression of concern, skit maker Nasty Blaq has voiced his discontent regarding the disrespect directed at Afrobeats superstar Davido. Blaq lamented that the level of disrespect the DMW boss is receiving is excessive, asserting that it stems from people taking advantage of the singer’s inherent kindness.
Through a post on his X handle, Nasty Blaq stated, “The disrespect Davido is getting is way too much sha, man just wants to help people and that’s all.” This sentiment reflects a growing frustration within the entertainment community about how public figures, particularly those known for their generosity, are often subjected to undue criticism and mistreatment.
Blaq’s comments come in the wake of controversy involving content creator Korty EO, who recently accused Davido and his team of rescinding permission to post an interview video they had initially approved. Korty expressed her disappointment, stating that she had been instructed to re-edit the footage only to later be told not to share it at all. She emphasized her commitment to authenticity, urging artists to be forthcoming if they do not wish to be portrayed a certain way.
Further complicating the narrative, fellow Afrobeats artist Seun Kuti shared his feelings of exclusion after not receiving an invitation to Davido’s wedding. Kuti described the emotional turmoil he experienced, highlighting the irony of Davido’s past visits to his family’s bar, where he enjoyed complimentary drinks with large groups. Kuti’s candid remarks underscore a sense of betrayal felt by some in the industry, despite the camaraderie that may have existed previously.
These incidents collectively illuminate a troubling trend of disrespect towards artists who, like Davido, strive to uplift others. As conversations around accountability and respect continue, it is crucial for the industry to foster an environment where kindness is met with appreciation rather than exploitation.
American rapper and model Rubi Rose has publicly stated her financial prerequisites for prospective romantic partners. In a recent livestream with Adin Ross, the artist declared that she requires a potential suitor to earn a minimum of $5 million annually.
Rose justified this stipulation by drawing a parallel to societal expectations regarding female attractiveness, stating that “Men won’t date ugly girls, so I don’t want to date a broke guy.” Further clarifying her position, she added that she desires a partner who is financially comparable to herself and stipulated that his wealth must be derived from legal avenues. Her remarks have predictably ignited considerable discussion regarding financial expectations in modern relationships.
Hollywood mourns the loss of Val Kilmer, the acclaimed actor known for his diverse and memorable roles, who passed away in Los Angeles on Tuesday at the age of 65. His daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed the news.
Kilmer, a prominent figure in 1990s cinema, achieved widespread recognition for his performances in iconic films such as “Top Gun,” “The Doors,” where he embodied Jim Morrison, and “Tombstone,” where he portrayed Doc Holliday. He also donned the cowl as Batman in “Batman Forever.” His extensive filmography includes significant roles in “Heat,” “The Saint,” “Willow,” and the recent “Top Gun: Maverick.”
Beyond his on-screen achievements, Kilmer’s career was marked by periods of controversy and fluctuating box office success. He was reportedly diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014, though he later recovered.

Afrobeats artist Mayorkun, known for hits like “Mayor of Lagos,” has publicly expressed his contemplation of relocating abroad. In a recent post on X, the singer stated, “I dey reason to japa [relocate].”
Mayorkun’s sentiment echoes a growing trend among Nigerian celebrities. The past decade has witnessed a significant exodus, with notable figures such as Tacha, Eldee, and Genevieve Nnaji among those who have chosen to relocate. This trend, further exemplified by Banky W’s move to the United States for educational pursuits last year, highlights concerns regarding current socio-economic conditions within Nigeria. The reasons behind these decisions are multifaceted and warrant further observation as more prominent figures weigh similar options.
