Reactions Trail Emeka Ike, Timaya’s Travails
Reactions have con
tinued to trail Emeka Ike and Timaya who are accused of wife battering and rape respective. In a recent post in the internet captioned “Will Emeka Ike and Timaya die?” from the current battering to their public images.
It was said that answering this question is as good as asking if it is a tough job breaking into the Federal Reserve Bank in New York with its three layered security infrared camera with motion detectors and some of the finest snipers around the earth, to say the least.
The report further stated that when you are in the limelight, there are certain standards the world expects and must always see you cannot frolic to extreme levels, not when you are a key player in your industry and a brand. This is as true as it gets.
Following recent reports, Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike was accused of physically assaulting his now estranged wife, while Timaya is facing rape accusations from a single mother in far away United States of America (USA).
“Honestly, if these were saner climes and it was judicially established that these two battered and raped those women following due process, prison term will be the least of their worries,” stated the report.
It recalled how African China fizzled out shortly after a rape allegation was levelled against him in London UK. It is hard to determine if this ‘brand’s life cycle was over before the scandal, or if the rape accusations speed up its demise.
However, what we know is he left the stage and left mainstream music altogether almost faster than he got into it following that incident.
These days, when his name brought up, it does not take much time for the conversation to veer into gossip on the rape scandal.
That ugly period in his life now clings former to his public image as firmly as his talent as a singer and song writer, as very tragic experience.
It was also recalled that in the prime of Mike Tyson’s career when he was found guilty of raping an 18-year-old, he was sentenced to six years in prison.
He got parole after serving three whole years. The laws are crystal clear there, that way, you know that rape and every form of assault is not childs play.
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.
