The Music Collaboration Between Davido And Chris Brown

Blow My Mind, the song by Davido featuring Chris Brown has been the highlight of the week. It should be recalled that Chris Brown’s last collaboration with an African artist was on the song “African Bad Gyal” by Wizkid. Blow My Mind happens to be the second, and fans can’t seem to get enough. Here is how Nigerians have reacted to it:

I think this Davido Blow my Mind song settles the Wizkid v Davido debate. Wizkid wins. Compare with African Bad Gyal. Both Chris Brown features on Afrobeat songs. I almost always skip Davido’s part on BMM. Tiring.

Best Rapper In Nigeria

Blaqbonez has quickly become the fastest rising rappers in Nigeria. Since he gained more relevance this year, the Chocolate City star has never ceased to remind everyone that cares to listen that he is the best rapper in Nigeria

If you’re hurt by the fact that I’m the best rapper in africa, so sorry there’s nothing we can do about it, it is what it is.

The weed @BlaqBonez smoked before recording #BRIA is a premium limited edition high.

Never heard a Naija rap diss that hot before.

It's crazy to see rappers who managed to step out only to get knocked out.

Not fair, Blaq. Not fair at all.

RCCG Controversy

On Friday it was revealed that 5 pastors of the Redeemed Christian Church of God had been kidnapped. This prompted a response from the General Overseer Pastor E.A. Adeboye which has stirred mixed reactions from Nigerians

I love the church RCCG
I like the man Adeboye

But he should do the needful
He spoke boldly during GEJ's time
Let him do same now , BOLDLY

He's been doing wonders for others
Let him do same for his people

Nigerians, it's time for objectivity in reasoning & keep religion aside

If you compromise public unity or incite public dissent or disturb the peace or take up any form of civil or criminal offenses, you’re going down. Let’s be guided. Adeboye cannot and will not protest with one million man. He cannot. He won’t even risk saying it right now.

People using this kidnap issue to gush out the hate they have for Adeboye and his ministry is just sad
— Hood Therapist (@Harrison_Godday) August 3, 2019

What is he supposed to do?he shud start fighting them?y'll hypocrites should channel ur bad energy to appropriate places,most of y'll won't vote when they ask u to and u come here blaming adeboye for bad governance, y'll sick!!!no caps
— DollyBakers🥳 (@AdeyeyeDolly) August 3, 2019

This is the second time I'm confirming Reno Omokri is dumb and stupid. How is it Pastor Adeboye's fault that bad things happen to his Pastors. Because people pay tithes bad things won't happen?
It's like saying people will not die because they go to Redeem!
Stupid Reno! https://t.co/aiek7qfOfk

Some 5 persons have been abducted. Instead of talking/praying about their release, Nigerians have chosen to drag baba Adeboye. As in what exactly are we angry about? You think your anger moves God or solves any problem? I hope you don't fall victim of evil people one day! I hope!
