Adesua Defends Husband Over N57m Campaign Fund
Nollywood actress, Adesua Etoni-Wellington has denied reports that her husband, singer-cum politician, Bankole Wellington popularly known as Banky W allegedly collected the some of N57 million from the President Muhammadu Buhari campaign team.
In the early hours of Tuesday, a woman identified as Miriam Shehu on twitter called out singer Banky W for allegedly receiving N57 million from President Buhari. She said the payment was reportedly meant for a campaign for President Buhari and was received by the singer whom she claimed didn’t execute the project.
Reacting on twitter, Banky W described the allegation as false and threatened to sue the woman. Adesua who was also accused alongside her husband also denied the allegation.
According to her, they were in Abuja in December for an event with EU and did not switch contract as claimed by Miriam Shehu.
Her tweet reads: “My husband has never collected a dime to support Buhari, there is nothing to substantiate what you have written and I am racking my brain about why you would write this. I am saddened too, more because it is a huge lie, but life has taught me that time reveals all things”.
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.
