Cossy Orjiakor is a Nigerian actress, singer, producer and video vixen who shot into limelight after featuring in a music video by ‘Obesere’.
The controversial actress is widely known for constantly flaunting her ‘large oranges’ at social events and music videos.
In 2013 she released her debut music album titled ‘Nutty Queen’ and produced her debut movie “Power Girls” in 2015 under her production company ‘Play Girl’ pictures.
Cossy was born on October 1984 in Anambra State. She was raised in her state of birth by her biological parents, an alumni of University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) where she graduated with second class upper in Accounting and Management.
She later proceeded to Lagos State University where she obtained masters degree before delving into her movie career.
Just like Tonto Dike, her colleague in the make belief world, Cossy is widely known for her controversial life style and she derives pleasure from flaunting her endowed chest. She once said that the secret behind the regular exposure of her physique was part of her branding as an entertainer.
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.
