  • Kemi Olunloyo Sparks Outrage Over ‘Autism’ Claims About Davido’s Twins

    Kemi Olunloyo Sparks Outrage Over ‘Autism’ Claims About Davido’s Twins

    Olori Supergal reports that journalist Kemi Olunloyo triggered widespread backlash after making unverified claims about the health of Davido’s twins, including an allegation they are non‑verbal. The post drew strong reactions online.

    Legit NG is cited as reporting that Israel DMW rejected the claims, while NewsNow Nigeria is cited as noting the Adeleke family may consider legal action, as many commenters criticized bringing children into adult disputes.

    **Echotitbits take:** This episode tests the boundary between free speech and harassment in Nigeria’s digital public square. While controversy can drive engagement, targeting minors often triggers legal and platform consequences. Readers should treat the claims with extreme skepticism unless independently verified.

  • Davido’s Father Intervenes in Ongoing Paternity Controversy

    Davido’s Father Intervenes in Ongoing Paternity Controversy

    Legit NG reports that businessman Adedeji Adeleke has addressed renewed paternity claims involving a 12‑year‑old girl identified as Anuoluwapo. The report says multiple DNA tests have been conducted to settle the dispute, though the situation remains tense amid responses attributed to the girl’s mother.

    Daily Post Nigeria is cited as reporting a public pushback from Anu’s mother, including allegations of intimidation, while Vanguard notes Davido publicly thanked his father for stepping in.

    **Echotitbits take:** This has shifted from celebrity gossip to a high‑stakes reputational and legal contest. The patriarch’s involvement signals a bid for finality, but the public nature of counter‑claims suggests the controversy may not quiet down quickly.

  • Davido’s Billboard Arabia Moment Becomes a Rollout Weapon as Fans Track the Next Drop

    Davido’s Billboard Arabia Moment Becomes a Rollout Weapon as Fans Track the Next Drop

    According to The Guardian Nigeria, Davido’s Billboard Arabia cover moment is doubling as a launchpad for bigger global headlines, with the interview cycle feeding fan speculation about what’s next.

    The article frames the cover as a milestone that reinforces his global positioning across regions and audiences.

    It also shows how fans convert interviews into marketing engines—snippets and throwbacks become countdown content.

    For verification, the Guardian ties the interview coverage to renewed collaboration talk; major music and entertainment pages have echoed the same cover-and-rollout narrative in their recaps.

    Echotitbits take: Interviews are now rollout assets. Watch for a region-by-region media run that targets new audiences beyond the usual US/UK circuit.

  • Davido reportedly surprises Chioma’s mum with an early birthday celebration

    Davido reportedly surprises Chioma’s mum with an early birthday celebration

    In a post shared by LindaIkejisBlog , Davido was described as hosting an early birthday moment for his mother-in-law, with clips and captions pushing the story into the day’s relationship-and-family chatter.

    The coverage centers on a short video moment and celebratory framing, not an official press statement—so the most reliable confirmation comes from consistent footage across multiple pages.

    As the clip spread, it picked up the usual soft-power value: celebrity family optics, goodwill, and fan conversation.

    Two additional public references echoed the same development:

    Notjustok (Facebook page/video): “Davido surprised his mother in-law…” (link)

    The Nation (Threads): “surprises mother in law with early birthday celebration.” (link)

    Celebrity family moments travel fast because they humanize stars and reset public mood after any controversy cycle. This is repost-driven (not an official statement), so credibility rests on whether the footage is current—watch for date cues and any corroboration from verified Davido/Chioma circles.

  • Wizkid and Davido’s Cousin Spotted Together Amidst Family Feud

    Wizkid and Davido’s Cousin Spotted Together Amidst Family Feud

    In a video shared by @mazitundeednut on Instagram, Davido’s cousin was seen partying in a popular Lagos nightclub alongside Wizkid, just months after a heated social media exchange between the two music titans. The footage, which has since gone viral, shows a surprisingly cordial atmosphere, leading fans to speculate about a potential ‘cold war’ thaw.

    The sighting is particularly notable given the public insults traded between Wizkid and Davido’s family members late last year. Social media sleuths have been analyzing every frame of the clip, questioning whether this indicates a move toward reconciliation between the ‘Big 3′ stars or if the family ties are simply independent of the music industry beef.

    While neither Davido nor Wizkid has commented directly on the outing, the clip has dominated conversations on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok. Some fans argue that the ’30BG’ and ‘Wizkid FC’ fanbases should take a cue from the stars’ associates and embrace peace.

    As reported by Legit NG, ‘Davido’s cousin was spotted enjoying time with Wizkid in a club months after the singer insulted her father, sparking massive reactions.’ Adding to the buzz, Naija News noted: ‘The viral video has raised eyebrows as fans question the dynamics of the ongoing rivalry.’

    Echotitbits take: In the Nigerian music industry, optics are everything. While this could be a simple case of people being in the same space, the timing suggests a tactical move or a genuine disregard for the ‘beef’ by those closest to the artists.

  • Sophia Momodu Asks Fans to Stop Calling Her Davido’s Wife

    Sophia Momodu Asks Fans to Stop Calling Her Davido’s Wife

    2025-12-30 13:00:00
    Figures and screenshots cited by Vanguard show Sophia Momodu cautioning fans and content creators against referring to her as Davido’s wife, stressing that the label is inaccurate.
    The message has gained traction because it touches a recurring issue in celebrity culture: how audiences define women through their ties to male stars, regardless of legal reality.
    Reactions online are split between supporters praising boundary-setting and fans who continue to push relationship narratives.

    Parallel posts carrying the same line include Nigerian Tribune (Facebook): “I’m not Davido’s wife…” and AmonPoint (blog): “Respect my journey—I’m not Davido’s wife.”

    Echotitbits take:
    This is identity and brand control. Watch for whether she expands the statement, whether fan pages adjust captions, and how it shapes future coverage of her appearances and business moves.

    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.
