Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Wizkid has sparked a fresh supremacy battle with his colleague, Burna Boy, after insinuating that he was chosen to close the Afronation concert in Portugal over Burna Boy, who performed on the opening day, because he is “the best.”

DAILY POST reports that Burna Boy’s fans have been praising him on social media for performing on the opening day of Afronation Portugal, claiming that the organisers made him the first-day headliner because he has more star power than Wizkid and other artistes slated to perform at the festival.

Wizkid seemingly responded to this midway into his performance at the festival on Sunday. The Starboy boss boasted that he was scheduled to perform last after Burna Boy and others because he is the best.

“Big Wiz is here. This is why you save the best for the last, baby,” he said.

His remark has since gone viral on social media, with fans interpreting it as a response to the ongoing debate over the performance order involving him and Burna Boy.

Recall that Wizkid and Burna fell out a few months ago after the latter attacked the farmer’s official disc jockey, DJ Tunez, at a nightclub in Lagos.

Nigerian TikToker cum social media influencer, has reportedly been detained by the Lagos State Police operatives.

Naijapunchnews learnt that Peller was arrested for driving a tinted car, and for not having a plate number.

However, Nigerian content creator, Tunde Perry, speaking on TikTok live on Monday, raised alarm over the continuous detention of Peller by the police.

Tunde revealed that Peller was arrested on Friday while returning home from a shooting location in the Lekki area of Lagos.

He said, “Peller has been in police station since Friday. He is still there till now. That is why he has not been online.

“The incident happened in Lekki, but it has now been transferred to Ikeja.”

In other news, Peller denied rumours claiming that his fiancée, Jarvis, is expecting a baby.

Speculation about Jarvis being pregnant has been making the rounds on social media in recent weeks.

Many users pointed to photos and videos of her, claiming they noticed what looked like a baby bump.

The rumours became stronger after a video of the couple shopping for their wedding asoebi fabric appeared online, with some viewers saying her stomach looked bigger than usual.

Speaking during a livestream, Peller rejected the claims, saying he and Jarvis are not planning to have a child at this stage of their relationship.

According to him, he wants to become far more successful financially before starting a family.

The influencer explained that people were wrongly linking Jarvis’ appearance to pregnancy, adding that her stomach looked bigger because she had eaten late at night.

He urged people to stop spreading the rumours, insisting that parenthood would come only when they both decide the time is right.

Davido has explained the reason behind his emotional tribute during his performance at the FIFA World Cup, saying he could not remain silent while children and teachers are still missing in Nigeria.

Speaking on the gesture, the Afrobeats star said many people avoid discussing the country’s security challenges because they want to protect Nigeria’s image, but insisted that there is no image to protect when innocent children are being abducted.

> “A lot of people don’t really want to talk about what is going on in our country. Simply because they want to protect the image. But there’s no image to protect if little kids are being kidnapped,” Davido said.

The singer noted that although he was honoured to perform at the World Cup, he believed it was important to use the global stage to draw attention to the plight of the abducted pupils and teachers from Oyo State.

According to him, everyone has a unique way of making an impact, and his platform is music and live performances.

> “My power is in music and performances. These students and teachers have been missing and still haven’t been found. So yeah, I used my platform to project what’s really going on,” he added.
