JUST IN: Boiling Point As Wizkid Calls Davido Frogido?—-TCN reports that the latest tension began when Davido teased his first single of the year, featuring YG Marley.

A loyal Wizkid fan joined the fray, mocking Davido’s vocal range with “Won o ni soprano, won o ni treble” (meaning “You’re neither soprano nor treble”).

Wizkid escalated the banter, quote retweeting the fan tweet with “Frogido!” – a playful jab implying Davido’s voice resembles a frog’s.

Topher, Kassia, Ocee Mbadiwe Evicted From BBNaija Season 9—-In a dramatic turn of events, Topher of the former Aces Duo and Ocee Mbadiwe of the famous Mbadiwe Twins have been evicted from the ongoing Big Brother Naija Season 9 ‘No Loose Guard’ reality show.

The eviction of the two contestants came shortly after Kassia, the wife of Head of House Kellyrae, was also sent home during the live eviction show on Sunday.

Topher, a 24-year-old corporate personality, made headlines in the House after getting into a romantic relationship with fellow housemate Anita, who is 29. The relationship sparked significant drama and controversy among viewers and housemates alike.

Ocee Mbadiwe had recently opened up about his fiancée, who is currently pregnant outside the House, sharing that she was celebrating her birthday just days before his eviction.

With their departure, Topher and Ocee may now join forces outside the House to support their partners, Sooj and Ozee Mbadiwe, who are still in the competition, as they vie for the grand prize of N100 million.

The show is set to conclude next Sunday, October 6, when one housemate will be crowned the ultimate winner of this intense season.
