Nigerian singer, Jaywon, calls out gospel and Afrobeats artists for drawing inspiration from his music.

This claim was prompted amid the release of Best Afrobeats Songs of All Time by Billboard. The artist also called out the magazine for leaving his song off the list.

The singer took to his social media page and wrote: ‘This Year’ by Jaywon had more viral moments and cultural impact than some of the tracks Billboard ranked. It has been trending since 2012 and is still relevant today. Who else has achieved that? Hate is inevitable. Year after year, both gospel and Afrobeats singers copy the same vibe, but we remain unshaken. I’ll say it again: no song on that list has more cultural impact than #ThisYear by Jaywon.”

It has been reported that Nigerian singer, Lil Kesh, allegedly escaped death after he was robbed in Lagos on August 20, 2025.

According to reports, the singer was stabbed in the neck during the robbery and was dispossessed of his jewelry and other expensive items.

However, no official statement has been released as the Lagos State Police Command is yet to confirm the incident.

The Nigeria Police Force addresses a viral poster of Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, stating that she is wanted.

They shared a report and denied making such a statement, claiming that the poster is fake as they did not brand the actress as wanted. They urged the public to verify news properly from trusted sources.

“FAKE NEWS ALERT! This “WANTED” poster of actress Iyabo Ojo did not emanate from the Nigeria Police Force. It is false, misleading, and was never posted on any official NPF platform. Disregard and stop spreading fake news. Verify only from official NPF channels.”
