According to reports, the controversy erupted after Olamide made the comment during a press briefing in Toronto, Canada. Social media users, particularly fans of Burna Boy and Davido, expressed their disagreement, arguing that their favorite artists also deserved top recognition.
Speaking on X, Olamide emphasized that opinions on music and artists will always vary and that the industry has room for everyone to succeed. He encouraged music lovers to support their preferred artists without undermining others.
Olamide noted that Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid have matured past taking offense at public rankings, attributing their success to focusing on their craft rather than engaging in disputes.
He stated, “You can’t diminish anyone’s greatness, whether they’re A-list, B-list, or otherwise. Support whoever you choose – there’s plenty of room in the sky for everyone. Burna, Davido, and Wizkid aren’t narrow-minded enough to take offense at someone else’s perspective, and that mindset has contributed to their achievements.”
The United States Government has released a security advisory for its citizens in Nigeria amid rising tensions between the US and Iran.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement issued on Monday, US officials urged Americans overseas to stay alert following ongoing military actions involving Iran.
The US Department of State called on its citizens around the world to heighten their level of caution.
According to the advisory, Americans may face travel interruptions, including temporary airspace closures, as a result of the developing crisis.
“Following the launch of U.S. combat operations in Iran, Americans worldwide and especially in the Middle East should follow the guidance in the latest security alerts issued by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate,” the statement read.
Citizens were further encouraged to register with the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive prompt security notifications and to monitor the ‘US Department of State Security Updates for U.S. Citizens’ WhatsApp channel for additional updates.
The warning comes amid reports from Iranian state and local media confirming the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, following airstrikes allegedly conducted by the United States and Israel.
Reports also indicate that several senior Iranian officials were killed in the attacks.
In response, Iran is said to have fired multiple missiles at US military bases across Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia, pledging retaliation for the death of its leader and other top figures.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump, during a live broadcast on Saturday as the strikes unfolded, declared his resolve to dismantle elements of the Iranian regime.
Former Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, has no plans to return to Europe despite the relegation battle facing his current club, Kano Pillars.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The 31-year-old had been linked with a move to Kazakhstani side FC Kaysar, who recently signed his former international teammate Victor Moses. However, sources close to Musa confirm he intends to remain at Pillars.
The ex-Leicester City forward is reportedly fully committed to helping Kano Pillars, where he now combines his playing duties with the role of General Manager.
The Sai Masu are embroiled in a relegation fight in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), and Musa is determined to steer the club away from danger while restoring its past glory.
Musa’s last European stint was with Turkish Süper Lig side Sivasspor. Since returning to Nigeria, he has taken on greater responsibility at Pillars, both on and off the pitch.
Meanwhile, Bayelsa United head coach Meremu Okara has set his sights on a top-nine finish in the NPFL this season.
The Prosperity Boys climbed to 14th place after defeating South-South rivals Rivers United 1-0 on Sunday. The victory provided some breathing room, but they remain just one point above the relegation zone.
Okara expressed confidence that his team can push into the top half before the season concludes.
“I would like the team to end the season among the top nine, that is, above 10th position, from ninth upwards. That’s what we’re pursuing,” he stated after the win against Rivers United.
Nigerian skitmaker and streamer, Carter Efe, has recounted the tragic murder of his father by armed robbers disguised in military camouflage during a robbery incident in Ogun State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking on the ‘Honest Bunch’ Podcast, Carter Efe revealed that his father, a police officer, had just finished his shift and decided to follow a police van to the nearest bus stop near their home.
The skitmaker said his father’s vehicle, along with colleagues, unknowingly drove into an ongoing robbery on the highway, where the men in military attire were actually armed robbers.
According to him, his father and colleagues stepped out of the vehicle to investigate the traffic gridlock, only for the robbers to open fire upon seeing them in police uniform.
Carter Efe described the murder as particularly traumatic because he saw his father’s lifeless body on television, and the footage remains available on YouTube.
“My dad had just closed from duty and was heading home, but he decided to take the police van to the nearest bus stop near our house in Ogun State,” he said.
“However, they ran into a gridlock where some men in military camouflage were committing a robbery. My dad and his colleagues alighted to see what was happening, but as soon as the robbers spotted them in police uniform, they opened fire. My dad’s body is on YouTube—I saw him lying lifeless in his uniform.
“I am no stranger to pain. I have been through a lot, and no pain will ever make me stop my grind,” Carter Efe added.
