Controversial rapper Darlington Okoye, aka Speed Darlington, has revealed that the late traditional music icon, Damian Azubike Nwankwo Okoye, popularly known as Pericoma, was not his biological father.

Speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, Darlington explained that his mother, singer Queen Achakpo, had him before her marriage to Pericoma.

He, however, stated that he grew up in Pericoma’s house and that the music legend treated him well, just like his other sons.

“Pericoma is my stepfather. I grew up in his house. I was on the cover of one of his albums along with my two half-brothers. I was very young when I went to his house; I was probably nine,” he said.

Speed Darlington added that the late music icon was very accommodating, contrary to superstitious rumours that portrayed him as dreadful.

Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has criticized actress Iyabo Ojo for commending single mothers.

In a video that has since gone viral, Portable verbally attacked Ojo, claiming she is not in a position to advise the younger generation on matters of marriage.

He further suggested that single mothers are prone to promiscuity and may have children with multiple partners.

“Which advice do you even want to give to the younger ones getting married? That they should be giving birth for different men? One child for one man, three children for three different men?” he asked.

Nigerian comedian and content creator Carter Efe has had his Twitch account placed under temporary suspension, only days after making history with a viral livestream featuring Afrobeats superstar Davido.

The highly publicised broadcast, held on December 17, 2025, drew huge global attention and propelled Carter Efe to the top of Africa’s Twitch rankings, where he gained more than 405,000 followers and became the continent’s most-followed streamer on the platform.

On Monday, Carter Efe revealed that Twitch had issued a four-month suspension on his account, stating that the action was due to breaches of its Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.

The streaming platform, however, did not provide clear information on the specific violations involved.

The setback comes shortly after the comedian overtook several well-known Nigerian streamers, including Shank Comics, and delivered one of Twitch’s most-viewed livestreams in collaboration with Davido.

After the news broke, fans flooded his social media platforms with messages of support, hailing him as a “joy giver” and appealing to Twitch to review and possibly reverse the suspension.

Online discussions have since suggested that the ban may have resulted from mass reporting related to remarks or behaviour during the livestream.

Meanwhile, claims that Carter Efe was also banned from other digital platforms were later debunked.

The situation has left many followers disappointed, particularly as it unfolds during the festive period, with supporters hoping for a quick and positive resolution.
