    Shenseea & Yung Miami call out “Nigerian scammers” on “Spend Dat” international remix

    Shenseea and Yung Miami are drawing attention on X over a reference to “Nigerian scammers” on the international remix of Yung Miami’s “Spend Dat.”

    Released on August 27, the remix features Shenseea, Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido and Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel. Shenseea opens the track with a verse referencing scammers from the Caribbean and Africa, including Nigerians, before Davido and Vybz Kartel add their own verses.

    The line has since become a talking point online, with reactions focusing on the use of the “Nigerian scammer” stereotype in a song that also features Davido.

    The discussion has also extended beyond X. During a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, host Charlamagne Tha God reacted to the line while listening to the remix, joking about the stereotype.

    “Spend Dat” originally reached No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, according to Complex, while the international remix was released alongside a separate U.S. remix featuring Lil Baby and Kodak Black.

    ODUMODUBLVCK’s lawyers say rapper is not wanted by police, seek inquiry into attempted arrest

    ODUMODUBLVCK’s legal representatives have said the rapper is not wanted by the Nigeria Police Force and has no outstanding arrest warrant, following an attempted arrest in Lagos on August 29.

    In a statement dated August 31, the lawyers representing Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, known professionally as Odumodublvck, said the rapper has not evaded or resisted any lawful process and has responded to legitimate police invitations through his legal team.

    According to the statement, the matter that allegedly led to the attempted arrest is already being handled by the Inspector General of Police’s Monitoring Unit and is also before an Abuja Magistrate Court.

    The legal team argued that because the matter is pending before the court, it should not have resulted in a separate invitation or attempted arrest by another police command.

    They said a formal response addressing what they described as a duplication of investigative activity across multiple police commands has been sent to the Assistant Commissioner of Police, State Criminal Investigation Department, Lagos State Police Command, with a copy sent to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2.

    The lawyers have also requested an urgent inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the events of August 29.

    The statement further said Odumodublvck continues to cooperate with the appropriate authorities through his legal representatives and remains committed to due process.

    The legal team urged the public and media to disregard speculation about the matter and rely on verified statements from his representatives.

    The statement was signed by Adokiye, legal representative to Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu.
