Ruggedman Backs Davido on Economy Comments and Urges Government to Solve Nigeria’s Problems

Veteran rapper Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, popularly known as Ruggedman, has spoken out in defense of afrobeats superstar Davido following the backlash over his recent remarks about Nigeria’s struggling economy.
Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, stirred controversy during a podcast interview where he advised Americans against relocating to Africa, particularly Nigeria.
He described the country’s economy as being in a dire state, referring to it as a “shamble.”
Responding to the criticism, Ruggedman took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to share his perspective.
He argued that Davido’s comments were not far from the truth and called on the government to address the real issue—the deteriorating state of the economy.
According to Ruggedman, fixing the nation’s problems should take priority over attacking Davido for stating what many Nigerians experience daily.
He wrote, “Davido has said what he said. Now, moving forward, the government should focus on fixing Nigeria so that nobody will have reasons to make such comments again.
All this barking everywhere won’t solve the problem. The hardship is too much.”

Davido Praises Uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, as Best Leader in Osun

Popular Nigerian Singer Davido describes Governor Ademola Adeleke, his uncle, as the best leader he has ever seen in Osun State.
During a recent interview, Davido spoke on his uncle and stated that he’s one of the most effective leaders in Nigeria.
“My uncle, the Dancing Governor is good vibes. He has an amazing story, he is the last born of my dad’s family. They [Osun people] never believed that he would become a governor.”
“He is a real example of, ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’; just because somebody likes to dance and have a good time, it doesn’t mean when it is time to work, he won’t. Now, he’s been the best Governor that they’ve ever had.”

Jisoo Hits 1.3 Billion Streams on YouTube Music with Just 7 Songs

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is showing the world that talent, grace, and a strong connection with fans can go a long way—even with a small number of songs. The singer has now crossed 1.3 billion total streams on YouTube Music, and she did it with just seven tracks to her name.
Jisoo made her solo debut in March 2023 with the single album ME, which features just two songs: “Flower” and “All Eyes on Me.” Despite the small tracklist, the album became an instant success. “Flower,” in particular, took over global charts and social media, thanks to its catchy sound and viral choreography. The music video for the track currently has over 523 million views on YouTube, making it one of the standout solo releases in K-pop history.
What’s even more groundbreaking is that ME became the first album by a Korean female soloist to hit 1 billion streams on YouTube Music—a milestone that speaks volumes about Jisoo’s reach beyond her role in BLACKPINK. Within just two days of its release, the album sold more than 1 million copies, setting a new record for female solo artists in South Korea.
But music isn’t the only place Jisoo shines. She’s also been exploring acting, starring in the K-drama Snowdrop and preparing for her role in the upcoming film Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, which is expected to premiere in summer 2025. Earlier this year, she also launched her own label called Blissoo, stepping into a more independent and creative space in her career. What makes Jisoo’s 1.3 billion stream milestone even more amazing is how she did it. No deluxe albums. No massive collaborations. Just seven songs, driven by pure artistry, loyal fans, and a global presence that keeps growing.
