Popular music star, Simi Ogunleye, aka Simi, has weighed in on the death of ‘Ekwueme’ singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu.

Osinachi’s death was announced on Friday night after reportedly battling cancer.

However, it was later alleged that the singer died in the hospital after suffering domestic violence from her husband.

Reports also had it that Osinachi refused to leave the marriage despite domestic violence because of her commitment to the church.

Reacting, Simi advised women to leave abusive relationships.

“You have no business staying in a physically abusive relationship. However we don’t talk enough about people that stay because they don’t know where to go or how to go. Because everyone they know is encouraging them to stay. Empowerment is more accessible for some than others.

“I’ve heard of women that stay because when they ran to their families, they sent them back. ‘This marriage. Make it work.’

“Like I can’t get it out of my head how she knew she was suffering. Her friends knew she was suffering. She worked, so she could afford to leave and sustain herself – but she stayed. Why? What happened. It’s inconceivable to me that there’s no reason.

“And if there is one, it’s unbelievable how it was reason enough,” she said.

The rapper emphasised that his passion for music supersedes the financial and social benefits.

“Every year, people leave music for real-life issues. But I can’t stop. Music is life. It’s what keeps me going. Take the business and everything out of it, it’s more of a passion. I can’t disappoint my fans,” Erigga said.

Afrobeats singer, Tiwa Savage has denied allegations of sabotaging other female artists in the music industry.

She challenged those accusing her of sabotaging her colleagues to mention their sources and come forward with evidence.

Recall that a few years ago Kenyan singer, Victoria Kimani, accused Tiwa Savage of indirectly blocking her from performing at several shows.

Reacting in a recent episode of the Offair Show, Tiwa Savage explained that she was being wrongly accused of sabotaging the chances of other female artistes to get bookings, claiming that show promoters could be lying to other artists using her name.

“If you’ve heard from anybody that I tried to block your bag, mention names. Maybe the promoters are lying and using me, maybe they don’t want to book three, four girls. So, they claim I am the one blocking others,” Savage said.
