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.
The Nigerian film industry is in mourning following the death of Kayode Peters, a renowned filmmaker and producer. The news was announced by his family on his official Instagram page, stating that he passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, after a long illness.
Peters, fondly known as KP, was celebrated for his contributions as a filmmaker, actor, and producer. He was known for his role as Koko in the popular sitcoms “Twilight Zone” and “Flatmates” in the early 2000s. His work also extended to stage plays and sitcoms like “Extended Family” and “Being Farouk,” significantly impacting Nigeria’s contemporary theatre and television landscape.
He is survived by his wife, Alexander, and their children. Funeral arrangements are underway, and further details will be shared by the family in due course. The industry and fans alike will deeply miss his warmth, generosity, and contributions to Nollywood.
Popular Nigerian skit maker, Carter Efe, has reportedly lost access to his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This development follows recent criticism leveled against Afrobeat artist Wizkid during a TikTok live stream.
Efe’s comments, in which he accused Wizkid of pride, triggered a backlash from Wizkid’s fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.
Gabriel Oche Amanyi, known as Terry G, has asserted his significant contribution to the Nigerian music landscape. The “Akpoko Master,” pioneer of the “Street-hop” movement in the 2010s, stated that his influence is undeniable when discussing cultural impact within the Nigerian music industry.
His comments, made via social media on Wednesday, arrive amidst ongoing discussions regarding impact and legacies, spurred by the recent exchange between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
In his statement on X, Terry G declared, “You can’t talk about cultural impact in Nigeria without talking about Terry G. I am the culture!” This pronouncement underscores his belief in his lasting effect on the evolution of Nigerian music.
