Coach Nancy Apologizes as EeZee and Mercy Chinwo Work on Settling Royalties
Nancy Nnadi, Managing Director of EeZee Conceptz and known widely as Coach Nancy, has confirmed that efforts are currently underway to resolve the royalty dispute involving gospel singer Mercy Chinwo. This comes after Nancy publicly withdrew earlier claims she made against Chinwo during the heat of their legal tussle.
Back in January 2025, Mercy Chinwo took legal action against her former label boss, EeZee Tee, accusing him of diverting $345,000 in music royalties; a case that sparked headlines and followed her 2022 exit from the label over financial disagreements. In the midst of the legal back-and-forth, Nancy accused Chinwo of financial misconduct, prompting the singer to file a defamation suit against her, demanding a public apology and the removal of the posts.
Over the weekend, Nancy took to Instagram to retract her earlier statements and expressed hope for a peaceful resolution. She shared that the reconciliation process is being guided by respected church leaders.
“Following legal advice and in the interest of peace and the love of God, I take back my earlier post concerning Minister Mercy Chinwo,” she wrote. “I pray that God brings to completion the peace talks being handled by the Fathers of Faith between her and EeZee Conceptz.”
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
