Nigerian singer Crayon has taken aim at former labelmates Rema and Ayra Starr in a series of posts on X, making claims about his past relationships with the artists and London-based producer London.
Responding to a post about his friendship with Rema, whose real name is Divine Ikubor, Crayon claimed that he had sent the singer messages over a six-month period without receiving a response.
He also disputed suggestions that Rema had supported him during a difficult period, alleging that he had provided food for the singer when they lived together.
The exchange escalated after a fan accused Crayon of being ungrateful to Rema, claiming the singer had previously helped him. Crayon rejected the accusation and referenced lyrics from Rema’s music in another post, adding that the two were no longer on good terms.
Crayon also directed several comments at Ayra Starr, making derogatory remarks about her while comparing her music with that of other Nigerian female artists. He later insisted that he respected the singer and would never touch her inappropriately.
In a separate series of posts, Crayon addressed London, claiming he had brought the producer from Kaduna in 2019 and had also sent him apology messages that went unanswered.
The posts have brought renewed attention to Crayon’s relationships with people he previously worked with at Mavin Records. He recently left the label after several years on its roster, with his latest comments adding another chapter to the fallout.
Nigerian singers Seyi Vibez and Blaqbonez have exchanged words on X after the rapper appeared to address people mistaking him for Seyi Vibez.
The exchange began when Blaqbonez tweeted, “lagos agbero people please i am not seyi vibez dammit,” seemingly telling ageberos in Lagos not to mistake him for the singer.
Seyi Vibez responded with a series of tweets, taking shots at Blaqbonez, his music and his standing in the Nigerian rap scene.
“Agidi for lagos fit put you for trouble. Muyeez blow pass your papa,” he wrote in one post.
In another, Seyi said he had wanted to curse Blaqbonez but would not give him “free promo”, before calling him “Aladanu”.
He also dismissed Blaqbonez’s music, writing, “Rap is dead already jare ah beg leave me I nor dey your set aboy,” and telling him to take his “clout” elsewhere.
He wrote, “Blaqbones your daddy na still Odumodu if you like go up and down.”
He also asked, “Abi make I sign blaqbones,” in another post.
The singer continued with more jabs, warning Blaqbonez to “waka crayfish waka” and suggesting that a physical confrontation could follow if the rapper tried to align himself with him.
Blaqbonez, seemingly confused by the exchange, later tweeted: “se this guy dey whine ni? 😂”
South African singer Tyla paid tribute to the late music icon Lebo Mathosa for Halloween 2026, recreating one of the singer’s memorable looks.
Tyla channelled Mathosa in a leopard-print cut-out top and matching skirt, accessorised with bold statement jewellery and styled against an animal-print backdrop. The outfit echoes Mathosa’s distinctive fashion aesthetic and stage presence.
The Grammy-winning singer has made Halloween a yearly moment for pop-culture transformations, drawing inspiration from iconic figures and viral moments.
In 2024, Tyla dressed as Halle Berry’s character Sharon Stone from The Flintstones, recreating the animal-print look worn by the actress in the 1994 film.
In 2025, she recreated the viral laughing-girl meme associated with Nevaeh Johnson, complete with the familiar hairstyle and casual outfit.
For 2026, Tyla turned to a South African music legend, honouring Mathosa, who rose to fame as a member of the group Boom Shaka before launching a successful solo career.
