A controversial singer, Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley; and his associate, Samson Balogun, aka Sam Larry, seem to have put their recent troubles behind them and have returned to the social scene.

Marley released two new songs— ‘Wahala’ and ‘OMO’— on December 29, 2023, while Larry was also spotted at an event earlier in the week, making merry.

Marley and Larry were arraigned at a Lagos magistrate court and later remanded at the Lagos State Police Command’s Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, Yaba, on October 4, 2023, over their alleged involvement in the circumstances surrounding the death of a singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, who was hitherto signed to Marley’s Marlian Music.

After spending over a month in detention, the duo was released on November 17, 2023, after meeting their bail conditions.

As part of the bail conditions, the defendants were asked to surrender their passports and make weekly appearances at the SCID (Panti, Yaba,).

During the Yuletide, there were also other videos that showed Marley, Larry and another Marlian Music signee, Oniyide Azeez, aka Zinoleesky, having fun.

A video posted by Larry showed Marley dressed in a white T-shirt and jean trousers, while Zinoleesky was dressed in a yellow and green shirt. In the video, the trio could be seen played hailing themselves before getting into a car. Other videos that made the rounds on the Internet that day showed them giving food items to the needy.

Another video surfaced on the internet showing Naira Marley throwing money in the air for a group of people after leaving a mosque.

Meanwhile, Zinolesky also released a new song titled, ‘Sunny Ade’, on Friday, January 5, 2024.

Award-winning Nigerian singer, Davido has debunked social media claims suggesting he was slapped during a recent outing in Warri, Delta State.

A viral video that surfaced online showed the singer in the midst of security operatives and fans, with a brief moment where he appeared to be struck on the head.

This led an X user, #AsakyGRN, to post: “Warri people no get joy oo. See dem sl@p Davido for head.”

https://x.com/itzbasito/status/1967582406875254789?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1967582406875254789%7Ctwgr%5E246ffeffb5e9575f6e4f4e2272b3c54eb91834d7%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vanguardngr.com%2F2025%2F09%2Fvideo-hit-me-by-mistake-davido-clarifies-viral-video-incident%2F

Addressing the speculation on his official X handle on Monday, Davido clarified that it was his security aide who accidentally hit him, not an assault from the crowd.

“Mumu that was my security… hit me by mistake… saddist,” the singer wrote.

His response has since put an end to the rumors and clarified the misunderstanding surrounding the viral clip.

Brazilian jazz legend Hermeto Pascoal has died at the age of 89, his family announced on Saturday.

Pascoal, known for his long white beard and hair, earned the nickname “The Sorcerer” for his ability to create music using a wide range of instruments and everyday objects.

In a statement on Instagram, his family said he died “with serenity and love,” surrounded by relatives and fellow musicians. They noted that at the moment of his passing, Pascoal’s band was performing on stage, “just as he would have wished: making sound and music.”

Born in Alagoas state in northeastern Brazil, Pascoal rose to international prominence through collaborations with jazz great Miles Davis and performances with other top musicians. Davis recorded some of Pascoal’s compositions, cementing his reputation as an innovative force in global jazz.

Pascoal was celebrated as a virtuoso who mastered multiple instruments and was renowned for his improvisational skill.

Brazilian singer Caetano Veloso paid tribute on Instagram, describing Pascoal as “one of the highest points in the history of music in Brazil.”
