Maleek Berry Shares His Journey to Stardom
Nigerian singer and producer, Maleek Berry shares his encounter with Davido in the early days of their career. During an appearance on the ’90s Baby’ podcast, the ‘Kontrol’ artist recounted how Davido, despite his affluent background, pretended to be struggling while they were both working together in the studio.
Berry reminisced about a time when Davido had only accumulated four thousand views on YouTube. He recalled taking him to a studio in Bermondsey when Davido visited London. Their connection was facilitated by one of Davido’s cousins through social media, and at that point, neither of them had gained much recognition in the industry.
“He blended in with us like one of those kids without money,” Berry said. “But when I visited his father’s mansion, I was astonished. There’s a level of wealth that’s beyond imagination.” Berry expressed his surprise upon seeing the luxurious residence. “It was eye-opening,” he stated, explaining how Davido’s demeanor had misled him regarding his financial status. Additionally, Berry revealed that it was Davido who eventually introduced him to Wizkid years later.
Nigerian actress Juliana Olayode expresses her worry regarding the increase in sex rates among teenagers.
The actress took to social media and expressed her shock at the things she has heard from teenagers, claiming that it is a serious issue.
“What is your body count? The things I hear these days, especially from teenagers, leave me speechless and break my heart. While some people would say, ‘Enjoy your life while you’re young, make all the mistakes you want now,’ I don’t — that includes sexually.”
“Sex is spiritual. People only talk about the fun part; nobody really talks about the spiritual aspect of it. Sex and other sexual activities are for MARRIED people. I can write an epistle about this.”

Ghanaian-American singer Amaarae goes viral after sharing her thoughts on the current state of Afrobeats, stating that the genre has stalled.
She expressed concern about how Afrobeats is becoming too repetitive and urged artists to experiment with new sounds.
“Afrobeats and African music need to evolve. It needs to evolve in a direction that is fearless, and I think right now artists have made so much money from a certain type of sound that they are afraid to step out of the boundaries because they are probably more focused on the financial aspect of it. And as a result, I think Afrobeats has stalled.”
The singer then gave an example, commenting on how Rema did just that with his recent album “HEIS”.
