Adekunle Gold is not happy with how things are going in the Nigerian music industry right now. The Afrobeats singer believes the industry is being controlled by people who have no real understanding or respect for music, and it’s affecting artists, producers, and other creatives.

He called out the dominance of non-music-oriented individuals in industry conversations, saying they are setting the wrong narratives, which is why true talent is often ignored while mediocrity gets all the attention.

On his X page, he shared his frustration, saying that those who should be leading discussions—artists, producers, and genuine contributors—are being overshadowed by people who neither create music nor appreciate the craft.

In his words, “People who have no business leading music conversations are now controlling and destroying the industry.”

Tems has canceled her Born in the Wild tour stop in Kigali, Rwanda, due to rising tensions between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

The Grammy-winning singer had initially announced the concert for March 22, 2025, but later took to Instagram to apologize for promoting the show without being aware of the ongoing conflict.

“So I recently promoted my show in Rwanda without realizing there is an ongoing conflict between Rwanda and Congo. I never intend to be insensitive to real-world issues, and I sincerely apologize if this came across that way,” she wrote.

Popular movie producer Stanley Ontop has called out singer Naira Marley over the mysterious disappearance of dancer Lil Smart. This comes just weeks after Lil Smart publicly claimed his life was in danger.

Back in December 2024, the dancer had taken to social media, urging the public to hold Naira Marley and Zinoleesky responsible if anything happened to him.

However, things have now taken a more troubling turn. On Friday, Stanley Ontop raised alarm on Instagram, alleging that Lil Smart was secretly arrested over five days ago in Lagos.

“@lilsmart has been arrested by unknown persons in Lagos. Why are they stressing this boy for no reason? He’s been held for five days, and no one knows where he is,” Stanley wrote.

Directly addressing Naira Marley and Zinoleesky, he added, “@nairamarleyworld and @zinoleesky, what’s going on? Let it not be what I’m thinking. Why are you oppressing this young boy? Free Lil Smart.”
