Ever since ‘Anikulapo’, the latest movie of ace filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan, premiered in cinemas and on Netflix on September 30, 2022, it has been getting positive reviews.

One aspect of the movie that has continued to receive applause is the soundtracks composed by singer and songwriter, Kent Edunjobi.

In an interview with Saturday Beats, the artiste opened up on how he made the soundtracks for the movie.

He said, “The first step was reading the script and understanding the story clearly. Then, I went on location to soak up the ambience of the film. Right there on location, we recorded some ambience and traditional drums for keep. Then, we started the song writing process and recording the songs.

“I wouldn’t really say I was reached out to because I have been part of his team since 2016. ‘Anikulapo’ has been a project Mr Afolayan has been talking about and working on even before I joined his team. When the script came out and I read it, I knew it was time to make magic again. I got my team together and brought the excitement of the script down to the location and down to the music studio.”

In addition, Edunjobi said he was glad with the reviews the movie’s soundtracks had been getting and also recounted how he met the Afolayan and the works he had done previously.

He said, “So, far it’s been very great reading people’s reviews and seeing this kind of buzz without even pushing. I mean, from the day of the movie premiere, the reception has been mind-blowing. All I can say is thank you to everyone for this show of love. I really appreciate everyone talking about the songs.

“I met Mr Afolayan in 2012 and gave him a CD containing my songs. After that, we lost contact. In 2016, we reconnected through Omotunde Lolo 1 and that was how I started writing songs for motion pictures. My first was ‘Roti’, after that we have done so much work together and are still working together.”

Famous Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, has opened up on why she lost interest in attending church service.

The actress who made the revelation in a Snapchat video on Sunday, stated that she stopped going to church because attention often shifted to her rather than the service.

While explaining that she’s always the one they take pictures of, the actress said she now joins church service online.

Akindele said “Anytime I go to church, I am always the one they take pictures of. So I will join online.”

Recall that in 2022, Akindele openly identified herself with the Celestial Church of Christ.

“Every time I have challenges I go to the Celestial church quietly at night for solutions. But I have to stop hiding and publicly identify with the church”, she said.

Popular Nigerian content creator, Shank has stirred reactions online after opening up about a personal clash with his mother over tattoos, while also revealing a fresh body ink linked to his “Lit Gang” identity.

The revelation surfaced in a recent viral video shared on his social platforms, where he recounted the moment he tattooed his mother’s name, “Oluremi,” on his arm.

According to him, what he expected to be an emotional moment quickly turned tense.

“The day I tattooed my mum’s name on my arm, she started crying and quoting Bible,” Shank said.

He explained that his mother strongly opposed the act, citing religious reasons and warning him against marking his body.

“She told me, ‘did I ask you to draw my name? I don’t like it. Don’t do tattoo again. God said don’t mark your body,’” he recalled.

Shank, however, said he challenged her stance by pointing out what he described as a contradiction.

“I asked her, if you say I should leave my body the way God created it, why do you shave your hair? You that shave hair and me that draw tattoo, we are committing the same sin,” he added.

The content creator used the moment to advise young people navigating similar situations with parents, stressing the importance of independence when making personal decisions.

“Just make sure you’re independent before doing what your parents are not comfortable with,” he said.

Amid the conversation, Shank also unveiled a new tattoo on his back with the inscription “Lit Gang,” a move that has further fueled reactions among fans.

While some social media users backed his arguement on personal choice and self-expression, others sided with his mother, citing cultural and religious concerns about body markings.

The development has continued to generate debate online, highlighting the growing tension between traditional beliefs and modern youth culture in Nigeria’s entertainment space.
