The song also leads the Top Streaming Chart for a fourth non-consecutive week and moves to a new peak of No. 8 on Top Airplay Chart.
3.) Olamide featuring Bella Shmurda – Triumphant
Olamide’s ‘Triumphant’ Bella Shmurda jumps to No. 3 on the Top 50 after it entered at No. 17 on the last chart. It moves to No. 2 on Streaming Chart (1.95 million equivalent streams, up 30.87 percent), jumps 34-12 on Airplay Chart (20.39 million, up 81.56%) and debuts at No. 27 on TV Songs Chart (5.04 million).

6.) Cheque – Zoom
It’s not everyday that a Trap/Emo track becomes a hit in Nigeria, but this song is still waxing strong. After it dropped off Cheque’s debut EP, ’Razor,’ it enjoyed a lukewarm reception but after its video dropped, it soared up the charts.
7.) Bella Shmurda featuring Zlatan and Lincoln – Cash App
The song might be premised upon the counter-culture of ‘yahoo yahoo,’ but the music is alluring enough to form a dalliance with the Nigerian heart. The song also further ties into how pop culture continues to promote Square’s product of the same name. Jack Dorsey would be proud.
8.) Tems – Damages
As the lead single for her debut EP, For Broken Ears, ’Damages’ has surpassed a lot of expectations. Recently, it was announced that Tems’ debut EP surpassed one million streams on Apple Music. It also fell from No. 6 to No. 8 on the charts.
9.) Wizkid – No Stress
Well, Wizkid admires a woman with no stress and his album, Made In Lagos was said to reflect that reality. His song might have had a tumble from No. 4 to No. 9 on this week’s chart, but the times look great for Baba Bolu.
10.) DJ Neptune’s featuring Laycon and Joeboy – Nobody (Icons Remix)
This week, the song fell from No. 9 to No. 10.
Just outside the top ten is Omah Lay’s ’Damn (Remix)’ featuring American R&B artiste, 6lack and Davido’s ’So Crazy’ featuring American rapper, Lil Baby, debuts at No. 17.

Sarah Martins Knocks Yul Edochie Over Comment 

Published

on

Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has tackled Yul Edochie over comments he made about his ex-wife, May.
The actress questioned why Yul brought up claims about their marriage but refused to explain further.
Her sharp response has added another twist to the long-running conversation around the Edochie family.

The actress reacted after Yul appeared on The Honest Bunch Podcast, where he made comments that many listeners linked to his former marriage.

During the interview, Yul hinted that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggested those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.

The Tide Entertainment reports that Yul hints that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggests those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.

Yul Edochie finally shares last moments with late son three years after his tragic death

But while saying that, Yul also hinted that there were incidents in their marriage he had chosen not to discuss publicly.

According to him, he was “too much of a man” to come online and break down over personal matters.

Reacting to the interview, Sarah, in a post on her Instagram story, pointed out what she described as irony in Yul’s words—saying he wished May well while also making statements that could create doubt in people’s minds.

According to her, if he truly meant well for his former wife, there was no reason to hint at hidden issues and leave people guessing.

“You wish her well, but you granted Podcast the power to sow doubt in people’s minds by saying she did something that led you to do what you did, but you won’t say it,” she said.

She went further to accuse Yul of being uncomfortable with May’s continued growth and public support.

“Oga, you’re just pained that she’s doing well!”
Sarah also questioned the purpose of the interview, asking if jealousy may have played a role.

Meanwhile, Yul Edochie opened up on the last time he saw his first son, Kambilichukwu Edochie, before the boy’s tragic death in 2023.

The actor recalled that his son came into his room early in the morning before leaving for school.

According to him, they spent time talking, laughing, and joking in what felt like a typical father-son interaction.

Cubana Chief Priest Opens Up On Feud  With Burna Boy

Published

on

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
