Duncan Mighty Debunks Wife Battery Allegation …Explains Why He Bowed For Davido
Nigerian music star, Duncan Wene Mighty also known as Port Harcourt First Son has denied reports that he battered his wife. According to reports on the social media platforms recently the Port Harcourt born singer assaulted his wife.
Reacting, Duncan Mighty said some people were out to break his marriage, adding that such persons would not succeed. The artiste, who is currently making waves in the music industry passed his message via Instagram.
He wrote: “the next news will be that I use my wife (to make sacrifice) to come back to the music industry. What do you gain in tarnishing my image with lies that I brutalised my own wife? My life and journey to get her wasn’t by Duncan Might, but by God. For your information, my marriage is not one of those you people brake down and will never be.
“For your information, I am the winner of my marriage, my wife and kids can’t do without Daddy every moment. The more you make people hate me, the more they love me”.
Meanwhile, last week, Duncan Mighty shared a video of him bowing down to Davido on his Instagram page. Fans of the ‘Fake Love’ crooner criticised him for belittling himself before a 25 year old singer who met him in the music business.
In the video, the 34-year-old Ikwerre born musician appreciated Davido for doing a collaboration with him, saying the new song would open up the entire Niger Delta region and set the space for an unprecedented growth of entertainment in the region.
Explaining why Duncan Mighty bowed down for Davido, his manager, Michael Gabriel was said to have stated that Duncan bowed out of sheer happiness.
He stated: “Duncan was just happy to have Davido in the Niger Delta, it was the first time he would visit for a video shoot.
“It is a big deal for someone like Davido to come to Port Harcourt and for Duncan Mighty to collaborate with him as well. He didn’t plan to bow to anybody, he was just excited. But people misinterpreted his gesture sometimes, there is no need to react to things like this because you will only give people more reasons to talk.
“When I mentioned it to him, he just focused on other things and wanted to know the next thing on the agenda. Criticism drives traffic to a brand and it has helped us. We have been in the news for the past two months, so people can continue to talk while we continue to trend.
“There is no week Duncan doesn’t have more than 1000 new followers on Instagram, if you do something people must talk, Pastor Enoch Adeboye suffers criticism despite being a man of God, former President Goodluck Jonathan did his best, yet he was criticised, Duncan’s schedule is tight, as he is everywhere now, I receive calls from almost every part of the world from people who want to do one thing or the other with him and they are ready to pay whatever amount.
“I last saw Duncan three weeks ago before I did again on Thursday after the video shoot in Port Harcourt, he followed Davido in his private jet to Lagos almost immediately”.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
