Music is the language of
the soul as they say and every music lover knows listening to a song you like can make you feel a lot of things at once. The music industry in Nigeria has grown over the years and more Nigerian artistes keep getting global recognition for their music. These days, women not only want to move to their songs, their hot body and swagful personality triggers many other things.
It’s not every day you find yourself wishing to be held by a musician because of his physique or his lips but it seems some of our favourite artistes have perfected the act of making girls swoon over them. Asides from the great tunes that have girls rocking, their faces and mannerism also have girls blushing and some feeling funky in various parts of their body. Below are the Nigerian artistes that are confusing Nigerian ladies.
1. Burna Boy
It’s not just his Raggae-dancehall songs that have the girls wanting more from this talented singer. Damini Ogolu was born in 1991 and hails from Rivers State. The Fela inspired musician released a hot song back in 2012. The song had every lady rethinking guys they turned down as per the lyrics of the song. The “Omo Aristocrat” as he calls himself is a favourite of many.
2. Peter Of Psquare
When you meet a man that can sing and dance, two things come to mind; hot and incredibly hot. Peter is one of the Okoye twins, born in 1981. He and his identical twin developed a flare for music back in secondary school and both have been unstoppable ever since. Peter might be married, but still reps in the well-built body department, which has girls wishing many things.
3. Iyanya
You know the things they say about Calabar ladies and guys. Well Iyanya is a clear representation of that, stereotypical thought. The ‘Kukere’ singer has an amazing physique and to top it off, his dance moves are fire!
4. Flavour
Who doesn’t like some Flavour in their life? Chinedu Okoli is that Igbo boy that will literally make you blush at first sight. Not only in he multi-talented, the Enugu-born musician started his career at the early age of 13. With a couple of h it tracks off his long list of albums. Flavour is easily the go-to-choice for weddings. Although, we are not sure how grooms feel having this out-of-a magazine sexy man perform at their wedding, we are sure the singer is very entertaining and his melody is sweet.
5. Lynxx
Remember the hit song, ‘Change Your Parade’ by Lynxx ? the song made girls picture Lynxx as a knight in shinning armour looking to change the parade of the girl of his dreams. With his gorgeous physique and cute face, it was not difficult to have the ladies swooning, Lynxx these days is the man every girl wants to take home as he’s gotten more spiritual and still hot. If you want a fine Godly man with a loaded wallet, look no further.
6. Dbanj
From his sexy body, to his Afropop fusion tunes, to the size of his bank account, D banj turns on the ladies in more ways than one. The Koko master himself was born in 1981 and started his music career in 2004 with the hit single, “Tongolo.” Oladapo Daniel Oyebanko is a recipient of various music awards and signed on to Kanye’s record lable, G.O.O.D music as a recording artiest. There have been rumours of the hot guy getting hooked secretly, this however, does not stop his female fans from wanting more of all he has to offer.

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.

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.

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.

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.
