BNXN begs FG to legalise weed in Nigeria

Published

on

BNXN, the Nigerian singer, has called for weed (marijuana) to be legalised in Nigeria.

The music star, who was initially known as Buju, was speaking during an Instagram live session on Monday.

He claimed legalising marijuana will prevent it from falling into the hands of “dangerous people”.

The singer added that weed “was the only drug that made me laugh”.

“I’m sorry to my parents. I lied to them I was not smoking. I tried all the drugs but Marijuana was the drug that made me laugh. It’s legal in some countries, hence it’s not a drug.

“You don’t know that if you legalize marijuana you are literally taking it off the hands of dangerous people.

“People don’t have to go to extreme lengths just to smoke to feel good. Get your PVC.”

Buba Marwa, the chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), stated in October 2021 that cannabis cannot be legalised in Nigeria because of its level of abuse.

“We have seen narco-terrorism in countries like Colombia and Mexico, where drug cartels are a law unto themselves and are as powerful, if not more powerful than the state,” he had said.

Fans praise Davido’s respectful gesture towards Burna Boy’s mother

Award-winning Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has melted hearts online with a touching video of him warmly greeting Burna Boy’s mother, Bose Ogulu, at billionaire Tony Elumelu’s All-White Christmas party.

In a video circulating online, the 2025 Grammy nominee was captured exchanging pleasantries with Burna Boy’s mother at Tony Elumelu’s All-White Christmas party.

In the viral clip, Bose Ogulu was seen sitting with her daughter as Davido approached her to greet her.

The sweet gesture has been widely praised by fans, who commended the singer for his respect and maturity.

An X user, Iwunze (who identifies as #IwunzeJC), wrote, “Normally, Davido has no problem. He is a free-spirited man. He loves and respects mothers a lot, regardless. And that is one of the reasons I like him.”

Another user, Ada (using the username #AdaOkenwa1), wrote, “I don’t know who raised Davido, but all I can say is thank you. You did a great job.”

FindingSolace, who tweets anonymously as #lifeinsolace, wrote, “Let love lead. It costs more to hate than to love. More of this in this space.”

Another user, OneGirlie_vi, who tweets anonymously, wrote, “I love the fact that his beautiful mother doesn’t have hate in her mind like her son. All love.”

Uncle Floyd, who identifies as #MRFLOYD_247, wrote, “That’s the way forward… no matter the disagreement between you and your guy, keep the kids, siblings, and mums out of it. The spirit of love and a mother can’t be compared; she will always love everyone. A mother and also manager.
She loves progressive kids.”

K.A.Y.O.D.E, who identifies as #Dhavidtips, wrote, “A mother is always a source of love and strength.”

The rivalry between Davido and Burna Boy is well-known, with the two music giants frequently exchanging jabs over the years.

In July, Burna Boy shaded Davido after a fan suggested he follow Davido’s example and start a family.

Burna dismissed the comment, referencing Davido’s challenges with one of his baby mamas. When another fan criticised him for the dig, Burna noted how the person hadn’t used the best example.

Their feud reignited last year when Davido referred to Burna Boy as an “upcoming artist” in an interview, emphasizing that he and Wizkid paved the way for younger stars like Burna Boy, Mayorkun, and Asake.

Odumodublvck, the Nigerian rapper, has recalled how Don Jazzy, the music producer, gave him $10,000 during one of their meetings.

In a recent interview on Beat 97.9FM, the rapper, whose real name is Tochukwu Ojogwu, said he had reached out to Don Jazzy to collaborate on his song ‘Asampete’.

The 31-year-old said he felt that the music producer’s vocals were needed to complete the track.

Odumodublvck said during his visit to Don Jazzy’s residence, he was given the money and told that he could keep all the royalties from the song.

He added that Don Jazzy even offered to be featured as an artiste on the track.

“Don Jazzy is the king of Afrobeats. But ask anybody there is nobody who is more original than Don Jazzy. Don Jazzy is an OG. Respect to my brothers Burna, Wiz, Olamide, Dave all of us used to look up to him. Like the way we used to look up to them — Wizkid and David, they used to look up to him,” he said.

“…I just hit him up. The first day we did ‘Asampere’, I recorded a vocal that sounded like Don Jazzy’s vocal and I was like Don Jazzy should do it.

“When I went to meet him, he gave me a lot of money. I have to put it out there. I tell them everywhere I go. He gave me $10,000 cash. Don no be for mouth. He still gave me vocals.

“He now told me that I can keep all the royalties and I can keep him as a featured artiste. That day, they still cooked food for me to eat. They gave me turkey. The line for ‘turkey’ was already put in the song and that was God.”
