Afrobeats star Timaya has stated that fellow musician Eedris Abdulkareem is not widely respected in the music industry because of his outspoken nature. Timaya shared this during a recent interview on Naija FM, Lagos, where he addressed comparisons between their personalities.
When the host suggested that both artists were figures others in the industry would avoid picking a fight with, Timaya disagreed, emphasizing the difference in their approaches.
“I don’t talk like Eedris. I don’t behave like him. Nobody is afraid of him because he talks too much. He has always been a talkative,” Timaya said. “I don’t even want people to be afraid of me. I respect myself so that people will respect me.”
Reflections on Their Past Relationship
Timaya also reflected on his earlier days as a band member under Abdulkareem’s leadership, describing it as a professional relationship rather than a personal one.
“I have never had any problem with Eedris. It was just a relationship of the boss and apprentice,” Timaya explained. “I don’t even think he knew my name at that time. I only give him a shoutout because he was part of my success story.”
However, Timaya criticized the way Abdulkareem treated those working under him, suggesting a lack of genuine connection.
“When people are serving you, don’t act like you’re tolerating them. Treat them like family because you don’t know tomorrow,” he added.
While Timaya acknowledged Abdulkareem’s role in his career development, his comments highlight a strained dynamic rooted in past interactions.
The global football governing body, FIFA, has confirmed that Nigerian afrobeats sensation David Adeleke—widely known as Davido—will take the stage at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Wednesday, June 10, as part of the 2026 World Cup Countdown Concert series.
In a press release FIFA revealed that Davido will perform alongside Diplo’s electronic group Major Lazer at the LA event, with more artists to be named in the coming weeks.
The concert is part of a pioneering synchronised live music series spanning the three host nations—Canada, Mexico, and the United States—leading up to the tournament.
“Los Angeles is set for an electrifying celebration, with Major Lazer and Davido as the first confirmed acts for what will be a memorable night blending music, football, and culture,” FIFA stated.
The show will be held at the Crypto.com Arena, with doors opening at 5:00 p.m. PT and the live broadcast kicking off at 6:00 p.m. PT. The event will be connected to simultaneous performances in Mexico City and Toronto, which will also be streamed live as part of the cross-continental concert experience.
Manolo Zubiria, FIFA World Cup 2026 Chief Tournament Officer for the USA, said: “The Countdown Concert series captures the excitement, unity, and cultural ties that define the 2026 World Cup. Just two days before the first match on US soil, Los Angeles—one of the world’s great entertainment hubs—will deliver an incredible show featuring top talent, bringing together football, music, and fans in a worldwide celebration as we get ready to welcome the globe.”
Tickets for the Los Angeles concert go on sale Wednesday, June 3, at 10:00 a.m. PST. The event will be streamed globally on FIFA’s digital channels, including an exclusive social media livestream on the FIFA World Cup TikTok account. Full concert footage and behind-the-scenes content will be available the next day on FIFA’s on-demand platform, VuMe Live.
Nigerian singer Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed why he broke up with his ex-girlfriend, claiming that she was “quite manipulative”.
In an interview with YouTuber Korty EO, Rema said the relationship was “beautiful” but not always peaceful.
The singer lamented that sometimes when he returns home hoping to rest from the pressure of the outside world, his then girlfriend often greeted him with chaos.
He said he eventually walked away when he could no longer tolerate her excesses.
“My romantic relationship was beautiful but a little quite manipulative. So much pressure. Knowing the world puts so much pressure on me but coming back home is where you want to feel relieved but when you come back home and you are getting more pressure, it’s a different story. For now, I’m done,” he said.
Actress Regina Daniels revealed that she has emotionally stepped away from marriage but still hopes to have a daughter.
Speaking during a livestream with TikTok personality Jarvis, Daniels reflected on motherhood and relationships.
She revealed she has not seen her children since last year, though she remains hopeful they will reunite soon.
The mother of two explained that for personal reasons, she no longer envisions remarrying.
However, she expressed a strong desire to have a baby girl. According to her, raising a daughter offers a deeper connection to motherhood.
Daniels said having a female child brings a different and more profound understanding of being a mother.
“The last time I saw my children was last year. I know one day, I’ll see them again, very soon. But for some reason I have checked my mind out of getting married but I’m yet to have a girl and I must have a girl child. I feel like you’d understand motherhood better when you have a girl child”, she said.
In October last year, she parted ways with her husband, Ned Nwoko, following a public disagreement.
