Nedu Wazobia Criticizes Outrage Over Olympics’ Drag Queen Last Supper
Nigerian media personality Nedu Wazobia has expressed his disapproval of the widespread outrage over the controversial drag queen depiction of the Last Supper at the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony.
During a broadcast on Naija 102.7 radio station, Nedu questioned the legitimacy of the anger among Christians. He said, “The Olympics ceremony used drag queens for the Last Supper pictures, so I asked people why they are complaining.”
Nedu argued that since it was the Westerners who introduced Christianity to Africans, their anger towards the Olympic board was misguided.
Nigerian music executive, Ubi Franklin, expresses sadness and takes to social media to grieve as he loses his elder sister to cancer.
He took to his official Instagram page to reveal her death as he mourned and lamented the fact that cancer took her from him and his family.
“CANCER WHY? Yesterday I got a call that she had been moved to the ICU. I did everything within my power to make it to Abuja. But while I was airborne, in the early hours of today, she passed on. This is one of the biggest losses of my life. When I landed in Abuja at 4:20 a.m., she had already passed, but it was hidden from me till 4 p.m. today.
“Yet, through the pain, I am thankful. Thankful that I got to know her, to walk with her, to be shaped by her. Thankful that I was blessed with such a soul as my sister – my backbone, my rock, my biggest cheerleader.”
Burna Boy has shared his view on music, saying he doesn’t see it as a job but simply as his way of life. In a recent chat with BBC Radio 1Xtra, the Grammy-winning artist explained that making music is something he truly enjoys, not something he needs a break from.
“I don’t see music as work. It’s my life,” he said. “Why would I need a vacation from life?” He joked that unless he’s old or has a child to take care of, there’s really no reason to go on a vacation.
“It’s not like I’m out there doing heavy labour. I love what I do. If I wasn’t Burna Boy, I’d still want to be doing this. So what exactly am I taking a break from?”
Drake has weighed in on the long-running debate between US and UK rap scenes, and he made his stance crystal clear during his performance at the Wireless Festival in London on Saturday night. Midway through his set, the Canadian rapper paused to show love to the UK music scene, calling London rappers the best lyricists in the world.
He said no one, not even rappers from his home country or the US, could match the lyrical skill coming out of London. Drake said, “This isn’t just about showing love, I genuinely believe London has the best rappers. Nobody can out-rap them. No disrespect to America or Canada, but the highest level of rap is right here.”
