  A Redeemed Church Pastor, Toyin Ogundipe invited Fuji star, Wasiu Pasuma to perform at their 3 days outdoor crusade titled “Lagos Island Family Areas Forum” between Friday, October 23rd-Sunday 25th,2015 and payment has been done. So now that the program has been canceled, The Fuji star felt there’s need for him to explain incase they intend to ask for the artiste’s fee 

In his words; although, the church’s management paid for the show, it is never done to expect mr to pay back the “artiste fee”, “the fault is not ours, we were ready to perform for them until we learnt of the cancelation of the crusade”.

Pasuma’s picture appeared on the handbill advert and posters alongside gospel singer, Tope Alabi and a former band leader of the late Fela Anikulapo’s Egypt 80 band, Kereke Jike.
The decision to stop the programme was because the church headquarters felt the Pastor had gone too far by inviting a secular artiste such as Pasuma to its church programme.

A source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the organisers did not do a detailed consultation before going ahead with the programme. He also said that it was as a result of it that the programme was cancelled and the Pastor in charge of the church along with the organising committee suspended as they now await further sanction from the provisional headquarters for dragging the name of the church in the mud.
Investigations by City People reveals that The Redeemed Christian Church of God clearly frowns at the use of secular musicians, a development which has been clearly stated in its handbook to Pastors.
*This is rather funny. Even the combination of artistes shows Pasuma wasn’t needed. Shey after Tope Alabi don sing on God, Pasuma will sing on what? This is one chance and do you guys think Pasuma should pay back the artistes fee???

Davido, the Afrobeats star, has unveiled his second collection with sportswear giant Puma at the brand’s flagship store in New York.

The partnership, announced last year, has yielded two successful collections — the first in April — with the latest featuring sportswear items such as t-shirts, sneakers, jackets, and bags.

At the launch event, hosted by Rolling Stone reporter Mankaprr Conteh, Davido shared his humble beginnings, saying his initial goal was to have his music played on Nigerian radio.

On the second collection, the singer said: “You know the first collection, we were just testing the waters. Because it was a risk for them. Yes, people love my music, but it is different from people love your music and people buy your products”.

The development comes at about the same time when Wizkid reignited their rift — after Davido announced his first single of 2024.

The ‘Made In Lagos’ hitmaker also taunted Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s uncle who is governor of Osun state.

Responding to one of Davido’s supporters, Wizkid claimed he declined the deal Puma offered him because “they could no longer afford to pay me”.

”U idiot! I turned down Puma cos they could no longer afford to pay me cos I wanted more! Don’t need dat! Way bigger than every artiste u just mentioned! Not jealous ! love em all…With ur dirty ass shirt! Idiot!” Wizkid wrote on X.

Wizkid argued that rejecting the offer showed he was bigger than the ‘Unavailable’ hitmaker.

Davido, who has been active on social media, appeared to have ignored Wizkid, with the former failing to respond to the latter’s tweets.

The long-standing feud between Wizkid and Davido seems far from over with the former taunting the latter’s family member.

The ‘Made In Lagos’ hitmaker reignited their rift on Tuesday after Davido announced his first single of 2024.

The ‘Assurance’ singer revealed the track will be in celebration of Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day.

Wizkid responded with criticism, questioning Davido’s talent and comparing their musical catalogues.

In a fresh rant on X, Wizkid taunted Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s uncle fondly called the ‘dancing governor’.

Wizkid mocked the Osun governor for his numerous dance videos online. He also implied that the Adeleke family “lacks a proper upbringing”.

“When you see people wey dem papa and family train you go know! You don’t see my uncle dancing online,” he wrote in Pidgin English.

Davido, who has been active on social media, appeared to have ignored Wizkid, with the former failing to respond to the latter’s tweets.

In May, a fight ensued between Davido and Wizkid on X after the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker mocked him and Don Jazzy, the Mavin Records head honcho.

Wizkid referred to Don Jazzy as an “influencer” while taunting Davido with a video of him on his knees, pleading and crying after a fan asked him to release new music.

The singer’s posts attracted criticism from a segment of social media users, including celebrities.

Davido also retaliated, labeling Wizkid’s career as “dead”.

Wizkid has reignited his long-standing rivalry with Davido, sparking a heated exchange with fans on social media.

The drama started on Tuesday after Davido announced his first single of 2024. The singer revealed the track will be a hit celebrating Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day.

However, the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker, who seemed unimpressed, took to his X page to write: “P***y boys dropping mid again,” adding, “Una don tire! Make una go rest small! 🦅”.

Although he did not mention the name of his colleague, fans interpreted the tweet as a direct shot at Davido.

A fan of Davido, however, fired back, accusing Wizkid of chasing clout using the name of the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker.

The user wrote: “So if you no beef @davido your song won’t sell??” Responding, Wizkid said: “I don’t beef wack niggas! We all know he’s wack! No talent! 🦅”

Wizkid’s response and follow-up tweets implied his messages were aimed towards Davido.

Still unsatisfied, Wizkid dismissed Davido’s extensive discography as “trash,” arguing that his catalogue boasts superior songs.

He continued: “80 trash ! We got 80 albums for any song y’all drop! P***y boys! ❤️🦅.”

Davido, who is also active on social media, appeared to have ignored Wizkid, with the former failing to respond to the latter’s tweets.
