Nigerian singer and songwriter, Olawale Oloforo, popularly known as Brymo, also celebrated his birthday on the same day with a video of himself on his Instagram page, where he was performing to one of his songs and captioned “happy birthday to me.”

On Wednesday, Nigerian artiste, Oniyide Azeez, popularly known as Zinoleesky, revealed in a Twitter post that he had been unable to find real friends since he became famous.

On the same day, Nigerian comedian and actor, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, during a session on Instagram revealed that he did not have any issue with comedian Bright Okpocha, known as Basketmouth.

AY, however, said that Basketmouth had “uncontrollable superiority complex”, and that that he had to avoid Basketmouth’s “incessant childishness”, so as to maintain his sanity.

“I don’t have issues with him. But people having unnecessary issues with you is the price you sometimes pay for being progressive.” he said.

Also Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, known as Tems, trended on Thursday, after American singer, DeMun Wilburn, known as Future, commended her for her “amazing voice.”

NAN reports that both artistes and Drake had done a song together titled, “Wait For U”, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot100 charts.

Future, on his Twitter page wrote “@temsbaby voice is amazing” and added that he felt a connection after hearing her voice over a beat by ATL Jacob, one of the producers on his new album.

“As soon as I heard the @temsbaby sample over @atljacobbeatz, it instantly connected to my soul….Even though “Wait For U” is a sample and not an original recording, I still put it featuring @temsbaby, if you aren’t familiar with her work. Thank you, Tems,” he said.

Tems also replied to the rapper, saying “Appreciate you! @1future.”
