Biola Adebayo faces backlash over Baba Ijesha podcast

Nollywood actress Biola Adebayo is under fire for featuring convicted actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, known as Baba Ijesha, on her podcast Talk To B. Many Nigerians say the interview gave him a platform to downplay his conviction for sexual offences involving a minor.​ During the podcast, Baba Ijesha, who was sentenced to five years in prison for indecent treatment and sexual assault of a child, claimed he was set up and misunderstood. He also suggested parts of the incident were linked to a movie preparation, a claim that has angered many viewers.​ Actress Iyabo Ojo, who was mentioned in the interview, rejected his statements and warned him not to drag her children into the matter. She has been one of the most vocal figures in the campaign for justice in the case.​ The episode has sparked strong reactions on social media, […]

Lagos DSVA: Simi cannot be prosecuted without evidence

The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency has said it cannot prosecute singer Simi over her resurfaced 2012 tweets without concrete evidence or testimony from alleged victims.​ Executive Secretary of the agency, Lola Vivour Adeniyi, explained on Channels Television’s Morning Brief that the DSVA has a duty to begin a preliminary review of the matter because of the public outcry. She stressed, however, that the law requires statements or cooperation from survivors before any case can move forward.​ Vivour Adeniyi said it would be very difficult to take formal legal action against the artist in the absence of a complainant. She urged anyone who may have experienced sexual abuse, assault or defilement to come forward so that their account can be documented and proper procedures commenced.​ Simi’s old tweets resurfaced after she spoke out strongly against rape, with some […]

Simi addresses resurfaced 2012 tweets, says posts were taken out of context

Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has reacted to backlash over some of her old tweets from 2012 that recently resurfaced online, insisting the posts were harmless and are now being twisted out of context. The controversy erupted after she spoke strongly against rape in reaction to a viral TikTok case, prompting some users to dig up her decade old tweets and accuse her of hypocrisy. In a detailed statement shared on social media, Simi explained that the tweets in question were made when she was 23, living with her mother and helping out at her mum’s daycare while still hustling to build her music career. She said she used Twitter then like a diary, tweeting “everything that happened” around her, including funny or cute moments involving the children at the daycare. According to Simi, the posts being […]

Burna Boy empty seats row and the real cost of cancel culture

Burna Boy’s recent tour has ignited a global debate about cancel culture after conflicting images of his shows showed both packed arenas and worrying empty sections. Viral clips of thin crowds and cancelled dates were quickly framed online as proof that fans, especially in the United States, were “cancelling” the Afrobeats star for his behaviour and comments.​​ The controversy escalated after footage surfaced of Burna Boy ordering a seemingly sleeping fan out of a concert, prompting outrage and calls for a boycott. Critics accused him of disrespecting supporters and acting with arrogance, while older clips in which he appeared to prefer “rich fans” resurfaced and further fuelled anger.​​ Promoters in the US later confirmed that at least five arena dates were cancelled, citing weaker than expected ticket sales and a wave of refunds that followed the backlash. Some of the […]
