Flavour’s music career success cannot be written without making mention of all the women he has been involved with.
From his first known relationship after he became a celebrity to his latest love interest, Flavour has always had one woman for every particular season in his life. – They are:
Beverly Ukegbu
One beautiful lady who was linked to Flavour was Beverly Ukegbu. Popularly known as Beverly ‘Heels’, she is one fine lady who has a degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Houston in the United States of America.
She is also a singer and a dancer. She was rumoured to have been engaged to Flavour back in 2012.

Sandra Okagbue
Flavour’s first relationship with a beauty queen was in 2014 when he started dating Sandra Okagbue. Okagbue shot into limelight when she took part in the Miss Delta Soap beauty pageant in 2010. She won the pageant and became a popular face on the cover of magazines and billboards around the country.

They welcomed their second child in 2018. In August 2020, it was reported that the two got engaged traditionally at Okagbue’s home town, Onitsha
Juliet Oluchi Ehiemere
Ehimere, unlike most of the ladies on this list, is not a celebrity or public figure.
Her relationship with Flavour can be described as controversial and quite a mystery. Little or nothing was known about Ehimere until November 2019, when she took to Instagram to reveal her relationship with Flavour.
According to her, she met Flavour far back in 2015 and later welcomed their daughter together. She claimed that the music star has refused to take care of their child and demanded a DNA test.

The most popular person on this list is music star, Chidinma Ekile. Although neither of them has ever confirmed this relationship, they have been constantly linked together.
The two have been spotted together at several events and they haven’t made it easy with their suggestive photos on social media.
Professionally, they have been no doubt about their partnership with several collaborations on songs including, ‘Oh Baby,’ ‘Ololufe,’ and ‘Mma Mma.’
Onyinye Onungwa
Onyinye Onungwa is probably the first lady to be linked to Flavour immediately he became famous. She, however, claimed she was in a relationship with Flavour before he moved on to other women including, Banner and Okagbue.
She pulled a stunt years ago when she wrote a letter to a blogger calling out one of Flavour’s girlfriends. According to her, what she had with the music star was ’Unbreakable.’
The Tide Entertainment reports that International stars Busta Rhymes and Gunna topped the bill, while the festival showcased a powerhouse roster of African talent including Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Shenseea, Phyno, Fave, Juma Jux, Qing Madi, and Diamond Platnumz, among others.
The festival launched December 7 with an eye-catching opening ceremony featuring aerial ballet performers, establishing an elevated artistic vision for the weeks ahead. That first night brought Nigerian heavyweights Wande Coal, Young Jonn, Ice Prince, Darey, Fola, Shoday, and Jerry Shaffer to the stage.
The Federal Ministry of Art and Culture partnered with the festival, with Minister Hannatu Musa Musawa acknowledging Detty December Fest as a vital force in Nigeria’s cultural landscape. She emphasized its impact on amplifying the country’s creative presence internationally and driving holiday tourism.
The 2025 edition raised the bar for live entertainment in Lagos, building on Detty December’s established reputation as a catalyst for tourism, entertainment, and economic growth during the year-end season.
The milestone was confirmed on Monday by FilmOne, the movie’s distributor, who announced that the film is now the fastest title in West Africa to cross ?1 billion. The achievement further cements Akindele’s dominance in the Nigerian film industry.
Since its release, Behind the Scenes has shattered multiple records. It posted the highest single-day box office gross ever on Boxing Day, earning an impressive ?129.5 million. It is also the highest-grossing film of 2025 so far, and remarkably, it marks Akindele’s third movie to cross the ?1 billion mark, a feat no other director has achieved.
The Tide Entertainment reports that with this latest success, Akindele has strengthened her position as Nollywood’s highest-grossing producer of all time, becoming the first filmmaker to deliver three billion-naira blockbusters within a single calendar year.
Reacting to the achievement, the actress and filmmaker expressed heartfelt gratitude to her supporters, collaborators, and distributors, while also revealing the film’s growing international reach.
“Over the years, I’ve always valued my fans, because without God and you, I am nobody,” she wrote.“Thank you all for coming out to watch this movie and for supporting my brand through the years.Thank you to the distributors, my colleagues—especially those not in the movie who still came out to meet and greet my fans.Big love to the cast and crew. This is only the beginning; let’s take Behind the Scenes even further.”
She also disclosed that the film is currently screening in cinemas across two European countries and the United States, signaling its expanding global appeal.
Akindele’s box office dominance has been nothing short of historic. In 2023, Battle on Buka Street became Nollywood’s highest-grossing film with ?640 million. She raised the bar again in January 2024 when A Tribe Called Judah became the first Nigerian movie to hit ?1 billion. Later that year, Everybody Loves Jenifa broke another record, grossing ?1.6 billion to become the highest-earning film in West African history.
Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face, has revealed his former bandmate Faze’s position in the long-running rift between him and their other ex-bandmate, Blackface.
The Tide Entertainment recalls that Blackface and 2Face have been involved in an on-and-off feud over the years, with the former repeatedly accusing the latter of intellectual property theft, allegations 2Face has consistently denied.
Addressing fans midway through his performance at the Made in Benue Festival in Makurdi recently, 2Face said Faze has maintained a neutral stance in the dispute between him and Blackface.
He stressed that the rift does not involve Faze in any way.
“You all know that Plantashun Boiz consisted of Blackface, 2Face and Faze. But due to some unforeseen circumstances, Blackface is not with us right now.
“However, no matter the beef wey me and Blackface get, nothing concern Faze inside. So, Faze is right here with me and we will represent Plantashun Boiz,” he said.
The rift between Blackface and 2Face began after Plantashun Boiz disbanded in the 2000s.
Following their split, Blackface blamed 2Face for the breakup and accused him of song theft.
The relationship between the duo has remained strained over the years despite several attempts at reconciliation, with peace efforts often short-lived.
