Davido Highlights Friendship with Chris Brown in Successful Collaborations
Nigerian singer David Adeleke, known as Davido, shared his thoughts on international collaborations for upcoming musicians during a panel discussion with the US advisory council in Nigeria. When asked about young artists seeking international features, Davido used his relationship with American singer Chris Brown as an example. He emphasized that their collaborations stem from genuine friendship, which enhances their commitment to the project.
Davido explained that working with friends like Chris Brown ensures everyone puts their best effort into the music. He highlighted that their partnership goes beyond simply making songs and shooting videos; it is rooted in mutual respect and a shared passion for music. He further stated that their friendship transcends race, asserting that as long as the music is valuable, it doesn’t matter whether the collaborator is from Congo or America.
In his words: “Me and Chris Brown are actually friends. When you collaborate with people that are your friends, everybody puts their all into it. It’s not that we’ll do songs now, shoot video and that’s it. He’s actually my friend and we love to work together, so I feel like friendship, no matter the race, whether he’s from Congo or America, as long as the music is worth it.”
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.’”
