  • Crayon takes shots at Rema and Ayra Starr in series of X posts

    Crayon takes shots at Rema and Ayra Starr in series of X posts

    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.

    Blaqbonez revisits Seyi Vibez feud with video of Lagos crowd calling him “Seyi”

    Blaqbonez has shared a video showing people mistaking him for Seyi Vibez on the streets of Lagos, days after the two artists exchanged jabs on X over the mix-up.

    The rapper quoted his original post addressing the confusion and attached the new video, captioning it, “see my life 😂😂😂”

    The clip shows Blaqbonez walking through a crowded street as a group of young men gather around him, shouting “Seyi” and “Oluwaloseyi,” Seyi Vibez’s given name.

    The video follows Blaqbonez’s earlier tweet, “lagos agbero people please i am not seyi vibez dammit,” which prompted a series of responses from Seyi Vibez. The singer took shots at Blaqbonez’s music and rap career, and also referred to fellow rapper Odumodublvck as the rapper’s “daddy.”

    The exchange attracted reactions from fans on X.

    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.

    Seyi further brought fellow rapper Odumodublvck into the exchange, as he refrenced the ongoing feud between ODUMODUBLVCK and Blaqbonez

    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? 😂”

  • Shizzi shares his account of how he produced Davido’s “Dami Duro”

    Shizzi shares his account of how he produced Davido’s “Dami Duro”

    Shizzi has shared his account of how Davido’s 2011 hit “Dami Duro” was produced, days after the pair exchanged words over the song’s production.

    The dispute began after Sexy Steel said in an interview that the beat was originally made for him. Davido subsequently said he started working on the beat in August 2011 for Sexy Steel before Shizzi came in and contributed to the production.

    Shizzi initially responded to Davido’s account by writing, “Distorted stories…🧢” Davido then replied, “I know right! @shizzi We Co produced a Classic,” before reposting a 2011 tweet in which Shizzi had responded “Yes with davido!” when asked if he produced “Dami Duro.”

    Shizzi has now released a 12-minute video explaining his version of events. He said he visited Davido and noticed him working on a beat. According to Shizzi, he took over the instrumental, worked on it for several days and made multiple adjustments before sending it back to Davido.

    He said Davido subsequently mixed the beat himself and recorded his vocals for “Dami Duro,” after which Shizzi added further production touches. In the video, Shizzi also played parts of the instrumental while demonstrating how he worked on the production.

    The new explanation has generated further discussion online because of Shizzi’s 2011 tweet acknowledging that he co-produced the song with Davido.

    Contemporary and later references to the song have also credited both artists as producers, including the original release listing.

    The song was released in October 2011 as the second single from Davido’s debut album, “Omo Baba Olowo.”

    The exchange began after producer Sexy Steel claimed that the beat Davido made for “Dami Duro” was originally his. He said he had never spoken publicly about it but pointed to Davido’s previous comments about the song, including a recent appearance on Carter Efe’s stream.

    Davido responded by saying he began making the beat in August 2011 for Sexy Steel before Shizzy became involved.

    “Facts … 2011 August I actually started making the beat for Dami duro for sexy steel then Shizzi came over it was history …” Davido wrote.

    Shizzy then responded to Davido’s post with, “Distorted stories…🧢”

    Davido followed up by quoting Shizzy’s response and writing, “I know right! @shizzi We Co produced a Classic.”

    He also retweeted a 2011 post from Shizzy in which a user asked whether he produced “Dami Duro.” Shizzy had replied at the time, “Yes with davido!”

    Shizzy has since returned to the matter, writing, “Same Dami Duro wey I dey look all the files like this… ? 💻 Someone is not telling the full story…😂”

    “Dami Duro” was released in 2011 as part of Davido’s debut album, “Omo Baba Olowo.”
