Fans have begun a battle of words on social media following Wizkid’s attempt to lift Tems during their performance of the hit song, ‘Essence’, at the singer’s London concert.
A viral video of the performance showed Wizkid placing his arms under Tems’ buttocks in an attempt to lift her. Tems, on her part, showed resistance as she pulled Wizkid hands away during his attempt.
The performance, which took place at O2 Arena caused a lot of controversies as some fans on Twitter accused Wizkid of sexual harassment while some tried to defend him.
A fan, @splitflows, said, “Lifting her in such a manner is even an inappropriate behavior unless it was rehearsed or given impromptu consent. She’s not a can of malt.”
Another fan, @queenosky said, “On close inspection, it does look like Tems was not happy with Wizkid trying to lift her up. Oh dear.”
“Wizkid had better publicly apologised to Tems. The move was completely unwarranted and I cannot even understand the rationale behind it. Men really need to understand that they cannot simply go around grabbing butts. No, Balogun, you have no right to do that,” @chiicker said.
In Wizkid’s defence, @josh_savage03 tweeted, “What exactly are you even saying? These are artists that are professional and there’s no way you can describe what Wizkid did as sexual harassment. You’re telling me Wizkid should’ve said, ‘sorry Tems, can I carry you from your ass’ or what?”
“Call me crazy, and please correct me if I’m wrong. But isn’t the only person who can say whether or not what Wizkid did was sexual assault Tems herself?” @axleighlouis asked.
Another fan, @rms_firstborn, tweeted, “Wizkid and his FC are embarrassing. Obviously sexual harassment but covering it up with dumb jokes – ‘wizkid like big things, its big Wiz’. If you have nothing sensible to say, just shut up and let the matter die instead of turning touching without consent to cruise.”
“Tems should have flowed with the vibe last night at least. Now haters are claiming it’s sexual harassment from Wizkid when it’s a normal thing when two artistes of the opposite sex are performing on stage,
Nigerian musician and rapper Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, known professionally as Zlatan Ibile, has continued his strive to the climax as he ushers in his second studio project titled “Resan” (The Journey).
The album which has two smashes, “Alubarika” and ‘Ale Yi‘ also features Davido, Flavour, Phyno, and others.
The body of work houses 12 songs and other artistes which include Buju, Ms Banks, Bella Shmurda, Rayvanny & Sho Madjozi.
The project is a follow-up to his debut studio album titled Zanku.
Delicately balancing cohesion and experimentation, the Zanku records front liner stands firmly in his Zanku sound while exploring several themes over Amapiano, drill, and highlife-infused instrumentation.
However, Zlatan took to his Instagram page to thank everyone who worked on the project and also made a direct statement to the naysayers.
“There were predictions that I won’t be here for long, but God and my fans have proven all naysayers wrong. For this, I’m joyous and grateful.
“I’ve burnt the candle at both ends to ensure that our album is top-notch. I worked my ass out to please my fans and not let y’all down. It’s been hard but it’s been worth it.
“Huge thank you to everyone that worked with me on this album…my team, the featured artists, the producers, sound engineers etc. You guys made it easier for me.
Zlatan hopped onto the limelight in early 2019 and yet so consistent in the Nigerian music industry. He rose to stardom quite fast, this massive growth saw him release some world-class singles as well as some spectacular features.
His career-defining moment was after he released ‘Zanku’. Zlatan Ibile is the king of the shaku dance and pioneer of the Zanku dance.
In 2014, he won the Airtel-sponsored One Mic talent show held in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Towards the end of 2018, Zlatan released a single titled “Zanku”, with a new dance routine of the same name.
Singer Bella Shmurda has given a scholarship to a young chap who performed the song he featured in.
A video surfaced on the internet, which showed a preschooler with dreadlocks on the street passionately singing and demonstrating Olamide’s song “Triumphant” off his album “Carpe Diem” which featured Bella Shmurda.
The video attracted the “Vision 2020” singer as he has pledged to sponsor the primary education of Samuel, as mentioned in the video of Bella Shmurda’s visit to his house.

After a few hours of realising the official video of "Champion Sound" the Adeleke offspring Davido delivered the official video featuring Focalistic. The video was released a few hours now which has accumulated a million views on the Youtube channel.
The song "Champion Sound" is a mind-blowing track where Davido and the Amapiano crooner himself, Focalistic prove to the fans what it is to be a champion. They showcase their capabilities and still keep their records ongoing. The video had a wondrous performance from these two best acts which you have never seen. It was directed by Dalia Dias.

Earlier in the year, Kiss Daniel became a topic of conversation. So this writer made him the focal point of a Facts Only episode which examined his career, talent, third album King of Love, his reputation and his journey. King of Love was a fantastic album with high replay value, but the industry didn’t support it.

What is happening with Kizz Daniel? | Pulse Facts Only
From the perspective of an observer, it also felt like there was no expectation for Daniel’s music - ‘King of Love’ simply didn’t hit the right channels. Even those who listened complained about Daniels’ tendency to fall into a tiring template. They also complained about his familiar approach to music and his plateauing sound - which felt like an exaggeration.
So far in 2021, he has released three buzz-worthy singles, ‘Currently,’ ‘Flex’ and the chart-topping ‘Lie.’ He has also followed them up with a curiously-titled quasi-surprise EP, Barnabas.
While his first two albums were significantly filled with formulaic music, which evolved within the Kizz Daniel sonic blueprint, and had a tendency to slowly creep up on the audience, King of Love was his adlib-driven best studio album, which failed to creep on people.
Records like ‘Eh God (Barnabas)’ retain the classic formulaic Kizz Daniel essence - a blend of killer adlibs, quasi-traditional Yoruba percussion that’s suited to owambe and a hook that seems cut from the staple of Yoruba police bands - but records like ‘Pour Me Water,’ ‘Addict’ and ‘Lie’ represent a shift that conforms with demands of Contemporary Nigerian Pop music.
Kizz Daniel - Addict (Official Lyric Video)
Those three records contain coherent lyrics, backed by structured songwriting and easily trackable storytelling delivered in English or Pidgin. The style of music feels peculiar to newer acts like Buju, Fireboy or Cheque, delivered via the Kizz Daniel essence in cadence, vocals and technique.
The beat for ‘Pour Me Water’ might easily attract someone like Buju.
Nonetheless, Kizz Daniel showed this on his ‘King of Love’ track, ‘Tempted To Steal,’ which was a step away from his established brand of music. Sonically, ‘Pour Me Water’ and ‘Addict’ also represent a slight evolution for Kizz Daniel. Across the album, the Flyboy boss seems reflective and contemplative, as he crafted musings around different episodes in his life as a lover, a dreamer, a youth and a believer.
Kizz Daniel - Burn (Official Lyric Video)
On one hand, he seems addicted to unrequited love, backed up by episodes of intermittent intimacy and garnished with lies. On the other hand, he is a lover of the good life [Addict], who defers to God on ‘Eh God’ and ‘Skin’ to offer solemn prayers about the ideal life he envisions for himself.
While some of these things are not new, the overall feel of ‘Barnabas EP’ is calmer, more methodical and slightly more experimental. Experimentation isn’t new to Kizz Daniel: we’ve seen him execute Afro-swing/R&B with ‘Bad’ on No Bad Songz, but ‘Addict’ is appropriately-timed. ‘Burn’ is a Bashment/Dancehall record and ‘Skin’ is a two-step Soul/R&B track from a Pop perspective.
In essence, ‘Barnabas’ is a maiden totally experimental Kizz Daniel body of work. However, ‘Oshe’ endures a forced Cavemen feature - it was totally unnecessary and cliche. The record needed someone else entirely. Kelvyn Colt had the right flow on ‘Skin,’ but he lacked the appropriate pockets that B.O.B or Andre 3000 would have easily produced.
Kizz Daniel, Kelvyn Colt - Skin (Official Lyric Video)
On the track list front, it feels like ‘Barnabas’ endures a chaotic sequence. But on subsequent listens, it becomes obvious that it’s not a concept project. Instead, it’s a diary session, with songs crafted around different entries. Thus, it only needs to achieve sonic cohesion/progression and it did just that.
At times, it feels like Kizz Daniel aims for a larger audience beyond Nigeria. The music is sufficient this time. But how sustainable is it? Only time will tell.
Even though the music tells us a story, it feels evasive and insufficient to truly offer a cogent insight into Daniel's state of mind. We know he can tell stories like this, what we've not gotten is age-appropriate music that offer true insights into his mind state. He might need to be less guarded in the future.
As a title, 'Barnabas' is cool, creative and cerebral, but it is also abstract.
