Nigerian Singer, Oluwajuwonlo Iledare, popularly known as Jaywon, has publicly apologized to fellow artist Ayra Starr following accusations that he mocked her absence from the 2025 Grammy nominations.

Jaywon faced backlash on social media after posting a message that fans interpreted as a subtle jab at Ayra Starr, who was notably missing from the list of nominees for the 67th Grammy Awards.

In response to the criticism, Jaywon took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify his intentions and apologize.

In his heartfelt message, he expressed admiration for Ayra Starr’s talent, stating, “If you see Ayra Starr, tell her I’m sorry she wasn’t nominated for this year’s Grammys. I’m a huge fan of her music, and I believe she’s one of the best female vocalists Africa has.”

The controversy arose soon after the Grammy announcements, when Jaywon, amid an ongoing online feud with Ayra Starr, posted a photo holding two Grammy awards. Fans widely saw this as a dig at Starr, sparking intense debate online.

In his apology, Jaywon emphasized that he intended to celebrate rather than undermine her achievements. “On this side, we don’t pull people down. We elevate, not just for today, but for the future,” he added, commending Ayra Starr’s vocal talent and calling her one of Africa’s most gifted female artists.

This public apology marks a positive step toward mending their differences and highlights the importance of unity in supporting African talent on the global stage.

Media personality Daddy Freeze has defended his past friendship with convicted internet fraudster Hushpuppi, revealing that he stood by him when others turned their backs.

In a video shared by Tunde Ednut, Daddy Freeze disclosed that despite widespread criticism of Hushpuppi, he refuses to condemn him because of the support he received during a difficult period.

“Hushpuppi has never given me money before, not even $1. But he gave me friendship when nobody wanted to be my friend because they believed I was the devil,” he said.

Recalling their first meeting, he shared, “The first time I met Hushpuppi was when I was invited to Dubai along with some influencers. At the time, I had already started the #FreeTheSheeple movement.

“The influencers didn’t like me, the church I attended for 10 years rejected me, and everyone abandoned me. Then Hushpuppi sent me a DM saying, ‘Where are you? Come over.’”

Daddy Freeze acknowledged that he may have suspected Hushpuppi’s wealth was not legitimate but emphasized that it didn’t change the kindness he received.

“Why won’t I be friends with someone who was my friend? How am I going to be angry with him?

“I might have guessed that his money was not legit, but like Davido said in one of his songs, ‘Dey for who dey for you.’”

His remarks have since sparked mixed reactions online, with some defending his stance on loyalty while others criticized his association with Hushpuppi.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has rescued 23 children from a suspected child trafficking syndicate operating under the guise of an orphanage in Kubwa, Abuja.

The operation, carried out on March 20, 2025, followed credible intelligence on suspicious activities at Mother Deborah Orphanage.

Police operatives from the Kubwa Division swiftly stormed the location and arrested the orphanage owner, Ijeoma Andy, along with another suspect.

According to FCT Police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, the raid led to the rescue of a three-year-old child suspected to have been stolen from Kaduna State, alongside 22 other children aged between two and 14 years.

The rescued children are now in protective custody receiving care, while efforts continue to track down other accomplices.
