Nigerian rapper, Oladipupo Oladimeji, popularly known as Oladips has slammed his colleague, Qdot, for declaring him alive after reports of his death surfaced.

Oladips in a series of posts on his Instagram stories Thursday, accused Qdot of seeking attention by prematurely asserting his well-being during a challenging time.

Oladips also called out a social media user for sharing an outdated video as proof of his current status and criticised bloggers for allegedly misleading the public.

He wrote, “I know there is cruise, there is clout, and then there is truth…!!!

“Qdot the reason why you posted ‘My gee is alive’ at a time my family was unsure of my situation is so appalling & uncalled for.

“I dey where I dey struggle with my life you dey post ‘my gee is alive’. Unnecessarily misleading everyone. Made it look like me and you just had a conversation.

“Bro I went through it hard & anything could have happened. The last time I & you had any conversation was Jan 2nd 2022. I get proof & soon I’ll tell the story in full!

“Cos why una dey always do like this for this industry tori Olorun?

“And to the stupid boy that posted that I was eating turkey & rice say I dey ‘set ring light’, even posted a video of us hugging each other, making it look like I pranked Nigerians or pulled a stunt, for the record. That video he posted is ‘2 years old’. I get proof… the video was made at my house in Orchid, crazy thing yeah? I don’t even live in that house anymore. tey tey sef!

“There was never a video or post of me telling Nigerians ‘heyyy everyone it’s a prank!!!’ it was all speculation based on hearsay and clout chasing, bloggers misleading gullible Nigerians for likes & comments, and the smart ones know how to put 1&2 together so I am not bothered… I was not with my phones or online all that period. Sheybi nah person wey even dey healthy dey remember social media!

“ANYWAYS, just in case I’m not as accessible or as kind as I used to be. nah people like this boy cause am cos nah help I help the boy, that short clip he posted almost ruined me and I don’t think he understands the gravity of what he’s done yet! but he will.”

Oladips’ management had in a statement released via his Instagram page announced that the rapper passed away on Tuesday, November 14, 2023.

However, Oladips’ colleague and close associate, Qdot, shared a picture of Oladips the following day revealing that the rapper was alive.

Tina Knowles, the mother of Beyoncé, has ridiculed critics claiming the singer lightened her skin.

On Saturday, Beyonce wore a silver dress and blond hair to the premiere of her ‘Renaissance’ film.

However, some people criticised the singer for changing her appearance, adding that she “looks so white”.

Reacting in a post via Instagram, Knowles described the criticism as racist, disappointing, and a “stupid narrative”.

The singer’s mother said Beyoncé’s outfit was a fashion statement and she is tired of those attacking her daughter.

Knowles said people should celebrate Beyoncé’s talent and work ethic instead of perpetuating “double standards”.

“Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self-hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white,” she wrote.

“She does a film, called The Renaissance, where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she is trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?

“How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy? She wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement.

“What is really sad is that a white woman had the audacity to reach out to Neal, Beyonce’s hairstylist, to say that fans are saying that she wants to be white and she wanted to get a statement about it from Neal.

“Well, that made my blood boil; that this white woman felt so entitled to discuss her blackness. What is really most disappointing is that some black people, yes you bozos that’s on social media.

“Lying and faking and acting like you are so ignorant that you don’t understand. Black women have worn platinum hair since the Etta James days.

“I just went and looked at all the beautiful talented black celebrities who have worn platinum hair and it has been just about every one of them at one time or another.

“Are they all trying to be white? I am sick and tired of people attacking her. Every time she does something that she works her ass off for is a statement of her work ethic, talent and resilience.

“Here you sad little haters come out the woodwork. Jealousy and racism, sexism, and double standards.”

Iyabo Ojo has filed an N500 million lawsuit against Lizzy Anjorin, her colleague, over alleged libel.

Anjorin had conducted a series of Instagram Live sessions targeting a character she named “Sepeteri”.

She claimed that Sepeteri is linked to a prominent yet mysterious blog.

She added that the person is also knowledgeable about the circumstances surrounding the death of Mohbad, the street-pop singer.

Convinced that Anjorin was referring to her, Iyabo Ojo responded with a video challenging the actress.

Ojo hinted at potential legal action.

Despite this, Anjorin continued with more accusations.

In a letter issued by Iyabo’s legal team, Anjorin is sued for N500 million.

Ojo, as seen in the suit, is also demanding a public apology and retraction of the commentaries.

Anjorin was also given 14 days to respond to the lawsuit or face further legal action.

“Our client came on her verified social media handle on Instagram and called out your name and asked if you were referring to her as ‘Sepeteri’,” the suit read in parts.

“She further challenged you to mention her name for clarity and put an end to the second-guessing. Surprisingly you did not waste time responding.

“We formally make the following demands that you publish in four national papers retracting all libellous publications within fourteen days from the date on this letter.

“That you pay a sum of N500,000,000 to our client as damages to assuage her battered image caused by your defamatory publications within fourteen days from the date on this letter

“If you fail or neglect to accede to our demands within fourteen days from the date of this letter, we shall be left to activate full weight of legal machinery against you, without any further recourse to you.”
