In a virtual showdown on Twitter, Nigerians and Ghanaians have sparked a heated debate claiming ownership of the success story of Lisa Yaro, the fast-rising American-based Hollywood star. The social media feud, which quickly gained momentum, has become a trending topic with fans from both countries passionately expressing their views.

Lisa Yaro, a talented actress and singer, has been making waves in the entertainment industry with her remarkable performances and soulful music. Her rise to fame has captured the attention of fans across the globe, but it seems that Nigerians and Ghanaians have become embroiled in a battle for bragging rights.

The Twitter battle began when a tweet attributed Yaro’s success to her Ghanaian heritage, highlighting the influence of Ghanians and the support she received from her fans in Ghana. This statement triggered a fierce response from Nigerians who were quick to point out Yaro’s Nigerian roots and argue that her achievements should be attributed to the Nigerian entertainment industry.

Since then, Twitter has been flooded with hashtags such as #LisaYaroNigeria, #LisaYaroGhana, and #LisaYaro, each camp passionately defending their claim to the rising star’s accomplishments. The debate has intensified with fans sharing videos, photos, and articles to support their arguments.

While some argue that Lisa Yaro’s Nigerian background played a significant role in shaping her talent and giving her a platform for recognition, others emphasize the impact of her Ghanaian heritage on her career trajectory. Both sides highlight the cultural richness and creative industries of their respective countries as contributing factors to her success.

As the debate rages on, fans from other parts of the world have joined in, adding their own perspectives and fueling the rivalry. The battle has even caught the attention of international media, turning Lisa Yaro into a topic of global discussion.

While Lisa Yaro herself has not publicly addressed the controversy, her success serves as a testament to her talent and hard work. Regardless of the country that can claim her achievements, one thing is certain: Lisa Yaro has become a rising star in Hollywood, captivating audiences with her undeniable talent and paving the way for more African representation in the entertainment industry.

As the Twitter feud shows no signs of slowing down, it remains to be seen whether Nigerians or Ghanaians will come to a consensus regarding Lisa Yaro’s success story. Until then, the battle for ownership continues to captivate social media users around the world.

Afrobeats star and Starboy Record head honcho, Ibrahim Ayodeji Balogun, well known as Wizkid, is set to bring down the iconic Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) with his much-anticipated ‘Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T) Experience Concert’, a show already being positioned as one of the headline shows of this year’s ‘Detty December’ season.

Known for electrifying live shows and a catalogue packed with global hits, Wizkid concert experience is always a cultural phenomenon, with jaw-dropping performances, surprise collaborations, and an unforgettable connection with the audience.

Scheduled to hold on Sunday, December 28, the G.O.A.T experience concert according to industry insiders, is “long overdue and perfectly timed.”

For fans, the concert feels less like another show and more like a long-awaited homecoming from one of Africa’s most influential music exports. Recall that the Essence hitmaker has spent the past few years touring internationally and expanding his sound; hence, the G.O.A.T concert gives him a chance to reconnect physically with the city that raised him.

Lagos remains at the centre of his mythology: Surulere roots, mainland grind, and the early hustle that shaped him to be the superstar the world now knows.

Speaking on the preparations, the organisers said the G.O.A.T Concert is designed to celebrate Wizkid’s evolution over the past decade—from his breakout as a teenage sensation to his transformation into one of Africa’s most influential global artistes.

According to them, the goal is to deliver an “unforgettable night,” combining music, culture, and immersive production.

Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has claimed that he has assisted more people in the music industry than his colleagues Olamide, Don Jazzy, Wizkid and Davido.

Speaking in a video broadcast, the Zazu crooner stated that his assistance is not only limited to those in the music industry but also extends to the less privileged.

He explained that, unlike most of his colleagues who are egoistic, he associates freely with ordinary people and even identifies with them on social media.

Portable said, “Many Nigerian celebrities don’t post their fans even if they dance to their songs or promote them. But I repost every positive video about me.

“Even with your money, many celebrities won’t let you feature them as an upcoming artist. But I help people freely. I have helped more people in the music industry than Don Jazzy, Olamide, Wizkid, and Davido.

“Help is when you see a homeless person and take them home, shelter them, clothe and feed them. You also take them to their first studio session and pay for it. Anything other than that, you are just doing business. A lot of the people claiming that they are helping others in the music industry are just doing business.

“Most of the time, when the artists they are using for business decide to be independent or move forward, they label them ungrateful. How are they ungrateful? You only used them for business.”
