British-Nigerian rapper, Joseph Junior Adenuga, professionally referred to as Skepta, has said that it was more important for him to be on a song with Nigerian superstar singer, Wizkid than with Canadian rapper, Aubrey ‘Drake’ Graham.
Skepta as who is also fondly called Big Smoke, recently dropped a 5-track Hip Hop project titled ‘All in’, and it featured Nigerian Alte artiste, Teezee, American singer and producer Kid Kudi and Colombian singer J.Balvin.
Speaking at an event organised for the EP release, Skepta stated that it was more important for him to be with Wizkid on a song than have Drake as a featured artiste.
”Me and Drake’s first meeting musically was on a Wizkid record. That was more important to me than asking Drake to jump on a song of mine.” he said.
Recall that Skepta was essential in getting Drake to work with Wizkid on not one, but three tracks, Ojuelegba remix and One Dance in 2016 as well as ‘Come Closer’ in 2017.
According to Skepta, he always knew Wiz was a superstar, hence the reason he had always been rooting for him.
A popular Ghanaian cleric, Bishop Samuel Owusu, has thrown another dimension into the death of Nigerian televelangelist and founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) Prophet TB Joshua, who died on June 5.
Bishop Owusu, the General Overseer of the Pottersville Church International, located in East Legon Hills, Accra, said due to Joshua’s popularity and growing influence in world politics, some unnamed people conspired and killed him.
In a three minutes video released on Monday, Owusu revealed that he knew those who conspired to kill Joshua but insisted the time was not right for him to reveal them yet, as he was keeping it for a later time.
“Prophet TB Joshua was killed. Hear me now, I repeat TB Joshua was killed. “He did not die a natural death. The facts are there for all discerning minds to see. Let me me give you some instances,” Bishop Owusu began.
Continuing, he said:
“There is no black man of God in the whole world whose followers are more than the population of a country.
“The followers of TB Joshua… there is no president in the world that has more followers than TB Joshua.
In the whole world, there is no single man that presidents submit to. It has never happened. There is no man of God, black or white, that presidents will leave their countries, leave their presidencies and come to their church.
In the history of the whole world, there is no black man who was as popular as compared to TB Joshua. He was more popular than TD Jakes. He was more accepted than Kenneth Hegan; popular and accepted than David Oyedepo. Popular and accepted by nations, by the history of mankind.
There is no black from Africa who has lands and properties in Israel, who has school and landed properties in the Philippines. TB Joshua didn’t die. They calculated his death.
“TB Joshua was the highest paid individual in the whole world by YouTube. There is no single individual who was paid higher than TB Joshua because of people followed and watched his videos.
“TB Joshua was killed. He has finished his work. I have the details on how he was killed. But I will not share that one now. I know how they planned it and even the person they sent. What they used to kill him, I know “The person they sent, I saw. But I will not reveal that yet.”

During the diary sessions, Big Brother exclusively hinted to another housemate, Emmanuel that the wild cards will follow each other closely for their sessions.
However, that was a vague hint as all housemates are invited one after another for the sessions.

US-based Nollywood actress-cum-medical practitioner, Regina Askia has taken to the social media platform, Facebook to question the Nigerian government for failing to empower youths as socialite Obi Cubana.
Obi Cubana, real name Obinna Iyiegbu has gained intense popularity since the much talked about funeral service of his mother in Oba, Anambra State, a couple of weeks ago.
Notable individuals in the country have shared diverse opinions pertaining to the ostentatious funeral service; US-based actress-cum-nurse, Regina Askia has joined the bandwagon of people talking about Cubana’s business acumen and influence in the community.
She said: “If ONE young man who started his business selling food, can invest in and raise over 30 young billionaires who showed up and showed out in his support, why can’t a whole government of a whole country do better?”
Speaking further, Regina Askia stated that if one man in the person of Obi Cubana could singlehandedly empower several people thereby making them billionaires, she expects the Nigerian government to take a cue from him and financially empower Nigerians.
Sharing her thoughts on her Facebook page, the mother of two wrote:
“Everyone has had something to say on Obi Cubana and the “Burial of the Century”. I have no comments because people have a right to roll, how they choose, BUT, I have one question.
“For now my question remains if Cubana could raise so many billionaires why can’t a government?
Let’s adopt that apprenticeship system, provide funds and raise as many financially empowered Nigerians as Cubana has done with his brothers. Thank you.”
