BNXN Slams Lagos Boat Ride Industry for Exploitation and Safety Issues
In the latest episode of Backstage Banter, hosted by Isi Ijewere in Canada, singer BNXN discussed the high costs and poor safety standards of boat rides in Lagos. When asked about the cost of a boat ride from Lekki to Ilase, he highlighted the exploitation within the industry, noting that companies charge exorbitant fees for boats that can’t safely accommodate the advertised number of passengers. He expressed frustration over the lack of life jackets on some boats used by those who pay much less.
BNXN also discussed the disparity in safety standards, pointing out that while some people pay high fees for boat rides, others risk their lives on cheaper, unsafe boats without life jackets. He emphasized that the exploitation and lack of proper safety measures are major issues in Lagos’ boat ride industry.
When asked about Burna Boy’s influence on his craft, BNXN praised Burna Boy’s unique personality and talent. He recalled discovering Burna Boy in 2013/14 and being impressed by his forward-thinking music.

Nikki Garcia Secures Restraining Order Against Artem Chigvintsev
American television personality and retired professional wrestler, Nikki Garcia has obtained a restraining order against her estranged husband, Artem Chigvintsev, after he was arrested for domestic violence in August. In her court declaration, Garcia alleged that Chigvintsev physically assaulted her multiple times in front of their 4-year-old son, Matteo, and described a particularly intense incident where he tackled her and pinned her down.
She also reported instances of verbal abuse and previous physical violence. The judge has prohibited Chigvintsev from contacting or approaching Garcia, Matteo, or their home within 100 yards, except for court-ordered visitations.
Garcia requested permission to take Matteo to London for a filming project, but the judge denied this until a full hearing on October 21. Garcia filed for divorce following Chigvintsev’s arrest, but prosecutors announced last week that they would not file charges against him due to a lack of evidence.
