RMD Declares “Legend” Title a Scam, Reveals Why He Rejects the Label

Published

on

Veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo, popularly known as RMD, has expressed his disapproval of the “legend” title often attributed to him. During an interview on the YouTube show “Curiosity Made Me Ask,” hosted by Nigerian skit maker Bea U, RMD made it clear that he does not embrace the term.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the actor, the label feels like a way of pushing him into the category of retired individuals, suggesting that his career is nearing its end. He referred to the title as a “scam” and explained that while he respects icons like Olu Jacobs and Pete Edochie, whom he considers true legends, he doesn’t see himself as deserving of such a label yet.

“I think all those legend things are a scam. I have my legends like Uncle Olu Jacobs, Uncle Peter; those are our ancestors, our legends,” RMD said. “I don’t subscribe to that. I think it is a scam when they call me legend because they are trying to relegate me to that neighbourhood of retired people or people who should be nearing retirement,” he added.

RMD’s remarks come as part of his ongoing conversation about his career and the expectations placed on seasoned actors. While he acknowledges the immense contribution of those who paved the way, he remains focused on his continued work in the industry, rejecting the notion of being labeled as past his prime.

Iyanya Denies Taking Sides in Wizkid–Davido Feud: “I’ve Got No Enemies”

Published

on

Afrobeats singer Iyanya has responded to public accusations suggesting that he has chosen sides in the long-standing feud between fellow Nigerian superstars Wizkid and Davido.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The controversy follows renewed tension between Wizkid and Davido, which escalated through public exchanges on social media last year. Iyanya, who previously collaborated with Wizkid on the track “Sexy Mama”, was recently accused by a user on platform X (formerly Twitter) of switching loyalty to Davido after he openly praised the latter’s music.

The fan, identified as @Akubasteeny, commented on Iyanya’s post saying, “I thought Wiz was your friend. I’m just wondering why you switched sides and turned into Davido’s boy.”

In response, Iyanya made it clear that he harbors no animosity toward any artist and supports all of his colleagues equally. He emphasized that the rivalry narrative is often fan-driven and doesn’t reflect the reality among the artists themselves.

“I don’t have an issue with any artist. I played Wizkid’s ‘Made in Lagos’ and ‘Morayo’ just like I play every other artist’s songs. Most artists won’t say it out loud, but we’re usually the first to check out new music from our peers. It’s part of our work,” he explained.

Iyanya added that he frequently listens to projects from emerging acts as well, including Fireboy’s ‘Adedamola’ and Joeboy’s ‘Viva Lavida’ albums. He also pointed out that his music circle remains intact, noting that he recently had a great time with Burna Boy at a club just weeks ago.

“Stop pushing this ‘friend or no friend’ narrative,” he urged fans. “It’s you guys trying to create a division that doesn’t exist.”

Seyi Law Slams P-Square: You Performed for Buhari But Condemn Tinubu

Published

on

Nigerian comedian Seyi Law has taken aim at popular music duo, P-Square, accusing them of hypocrisy over their opposition to President Bola Tinubu’s administration.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a recent conversation with media host Teju BabyFace, Seyi Law criticized P-Square for their past involvement with the All Progressives Congress (APC), despite their current stance against the ruling party. He recalled that the same artists who now oppose the APC had once performed at Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential inauguration in 2015.

Highlighting what he sees as inconsistency among entertainers, the comedian said many in the industry worked against Tinubu simply because the APC did not nominate former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. He argued that even if Osinbajo had been the party’s flag bearer, critics would still have used Buhari’s legacy to discredit him.

Seyi Law added, “They performed ‘E No Easy’ joyfully for Buhari, but now turn around to vilify Tinubu. These same entertainers shift support from party to party but claim moral superiority.”

The comedian’s comments come amid rising tensions between pro- and anti-Tinubu celebrities, especially after P-Square publicly backed Labour Party’s Peter Obi during the 2023 elections.
