Tolani Baj Responds to Avala’s Online Declaration of Enmity
Tolani Baj has responded to her Big Brother Naija co-star Avala after Avala publicly declared on social media that they are now enemies.
On Tuesday, June 19, Avala took to X to write: “Somebody tell this bxtch she made an enemy out of me!!!!!!!! 🤬 @tolanibaj.” Avala’s followers questioned why she aired her grievances online instead of addressing Tolani privately.
Tolani Baj replied on X, stating, “I’ve made a few calls to get clarity on what the matter is because we were just at a function last night. I’ve been informed that you were expecting your song to be played during my DJ set last night but I was unaware.
There was no proper communication from the promoter whatsoever that I needed to infuse your performance into my DJ set at all.”
She explained that her DJ set was cut short from one hour to 30 minutes and ended abruptly, which left her dissatisfied. Tolani expressed disappointment that Avala assumed the worst without seeking clarification first.
“Yes, you informed me that you were performing and I was super excited for you. A song that I love and supported you by pushing it on all my platforms? Come on girl. How was I expected to know the plans if nothing was communicated to me?”
she wrote. “I’m so disappointed to be very honest because what you may have assumed is completely false. We could’ve clarified immediately with a call or text but there was no grace extended to hear my side of the story.”

Judge Tells Duane Davis He Must Face Justice for Tupac’s Murder
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.”
