    Reporting by Guardian Nigeria says media personality Yaw Naija and veteran DJ Jimmy Jatt are staging the second edition of the Rewind Flashback Concert, with Abuja and Lagos dates announced.

    The show is pitched as a nostalgia-driven night—reviving late-’90s and early-2000s hits and targeting fans who want “old school” energy during the holiday rush.

    Also noted by ThisDay (Website): “Yaw… alongside… Jimmy Jatt, will host… Rewind Flashback Concert… Abuja… and… Lagos.” (https://www.thisdaylive.com/)

    Separately, Punch Newspapers (Website) reported: “Music lovers are set for a nostalgic experience…” (https://punchng.com/)

    Echotitbits take: Nostalgia concerts are becoming a reliable second lane of live entertainment—older audiences, higher spending power, and brand-friendly lineups. Watch for the final performer list and post-show videos; strong execution could turn Rewind into an annual franchise.

    In a report by Punch Newspapers, streamer and content creator Carter Efe and his associate Kolu were seen together again, suggesting the pair has settled their public dispute linked to Davido’s promised ₦20m gift.

    The clash went viral after Kolu alleged he was blocked when he asked for his “share,” turning it into a broader debate about money, credit, and loyalty in creator circles.

    Also noted by Legit.ng (Website): “He blocked me for asking for my share of Davido’s ₦20 million gift,” Kolu said. (https://www.legit.ng/)

    Separately, Carter Efe (Instagram) reported: “…showing the duo… hanging out together…” (https://www.instagram.com/)

    Echotitbits take: This is the creator-economy problem in one sentence: collaborations often run on vibes, not contracts. Watch for whether they clarify the money story publicly; quiet reconciliation can be genuine, but it can also be a PR move to stop the backlash.

    Figures and scenes highlighted by GoldMyne TV suggest Lagos has entered full Detty December mode—packed venues, celebrity drop-ins, and nonstop event calendars driving the city’s nightlife narrative.

    The season is being framed as a magnet for artists, influencers, and diaspora returnees, turning everyday club appearances into headline moments.

    It also carries an economic angle: hotels, lounges, transport, and event brands typically see a surge when the celebrity circuit concentrates in one city.

    VG (AFP-backed) (News site) also echoed the same development, noting: “an extravagant month-long party season” (https://www.vanguardngr.com/). GoldMyne TV (Entertainment outlet) also echoed the same development, noting: “A-list Stars Storm Lagos for Detty December” (https://www.goldmyne.tv/a-list-stars-storm-lagos-for-detty-december/).

    Echotitbits take: Detty December has become a cultural export product—part tourism strategy, part creator economy. What to watch: whether Lagos can sustain the draw without security, traffic, and pricing backlash that could eventually deter visitors and local participation.

    In a photo report by TheCable Lifestyle, Busta Rhymes headlined a Detty December concert in Lagos alongside Tiwa Savage and M.I Abaga, with crowd clips quickly trending online.

    The excitement was driven by the cross-market energy: a US rap veteran meeting Nigeria’s December entertainment machine at peak season.

    Beyond the show, the moment reinforces Lagos’ growing role as a December destination for international acts—not just local superstars.

    Channels Television’s coverage described the bill: “Busta Rhymes, Tiwa Savage, M.I Headline Detty December Fest”. HipTV’s recap framed it simply: “Busta Rhymes Lights Up Lagos At Detty December”.

    Echotitbits take:
    Detty December is now a cultural export with real economic spillover (travel, hospitality, sponsorship). Watch for more international bookings—and whether organisers improve logistics as crowds scale up.
