Sunny Ade resurfaces declares ” I was never abducted

Legendary Juju musician, King Sunny Ade, has dismissed widespread speculations about his safety and whereabouts, declaring on Tuesday that he was neither missing nor kidnapped.
The music icon made this known in a live video shared by one of his wives, Mrs. Bose Olubo-Adegeye, following a social media storm ignited by his daughter, Damilola Adeniyi-Adegeye.
Damilola had on Monday, raised the alarm over her father’s whereabouts, accusing her stepbrother, Dayo, whom she described as KSA’s manager, of allegedly holding the veteran singer hostage and mismanaging his affairs.
In a flurry of social media posts, Damilola called for Dayo’s arrest, claiming he had been “stealing” from the musician and preventing access to him.
One of her posts read: “Dad told my brother that he wants to go home. Where is he? Where are his phones? He has not been online or picking up his calls. Where is he?”
Another stated: “I want Dayo (manager) apprehended. I want him to provide all the money they have been stealing from him. He has a UK visa, thinking he can run.”
However, speaking in the video on Tuesday, King Sunny Ade reassured fans that he was hale, hearty, and actively performing live music at events. He specifically mentioned performing at a show in Lekki, Lagos, over the weekend and noted that he was on his way to another performance.
“Nobody kidnapped me. I pray, as I don’t want anybody to kidnap me. I believe that the whole world is in love with me. This is me, King Sunny Ade. I have to thank God and you, my fans, for the concern. I have been doing my shows. I was at a show last Saturday at Lekki, Lagos. I am on my way to have a show, and I am coming back again to play in Lagos, as well. So, I have nothing to say other than to thank God and to thank you,” KSA said.
The singer also appreciated Nigerians and fans worldwide for their concern, noting that the confusion might have stemmed from some of his children not seeing him recently.
“I know my children are in love with me, and they want to see me. I didn’t go anywhere. This is me. I thank the children, too, for their concern as well.
“By God’s grace, enjoyment continues. I am still in music. Music is my life; it is my business, and I will continue to do it. I thank the whole world for loving me as usual,” he added.

You’re 7 years older than me – Angela Okorie’s boyfriend speaks after breakup

By Francesca Hangeior
Angela Okorie’s ex-boyfriend, known as Oil Money, has responded after the actress called him out on social media for allegedly cheating on her with her Nollywood colleagues.
In a private chat with popular Nigerian critic, Radiogad, Oil Money revealed that Angela is 7 years older than him. He claimed he was only helping her out in the relationship, but she became ungrateful and started acting up.
“She always talks too much and brags. She’ll be 50 this year but acts like a 22-year-old. Even my 20-year-old baby mama is more mature than her,” he said.
Oil Money also said his family never supported the relationship and accused Angela of bringing different men to the house, calling them “fans” or “workers.”
According to him, Angela begged to visit him in London just last week, but he refused.
“She has nothing to bring to the table. I keep blocking her and she keeps coming back,” he added.
