Clearly, all is not well between Nigerian singer, Davido and his producer, Jfem who produced his ‘Owo Ni Koko’ song.

Davido ‘Shout out to Shizzi and Kiddominant for making the list. Eya zero Jfem. Karma’. Not long after, the producer, Jfem responded saying, ‘Fuck the list because that is not the way to success. Whereas better things coming, far better than that.’

The hip-hop mogul, who released The Kanan Tape yesterday, took a moment from promoting the project to address the sales of Rozay’s new album Black Market, which 50 claims is selling 34,388 units in the video. ‘Is that a rock or a brick?’ asked Fif, looking at his phone. ‘Thirty-four thousand, three-hundred, and eighty-eight copies, and you know they went and bought some. He had to buy some. Anybody would have panicked.’ Fiddy claims that Ross must have purchased 15,000 copies of the album after he saw that…

In an interview, the Edo born actress disclosed that her appearance in Yoruba movies is not deliberate but depends on offers she receive. ‘I started up with ‘Papa Ajasco and Company’ and it was on that set that I got my first Yoruba script.

Javier Hernandez was more than happy to see Bayer Leverkusen return to winning ways in the German league by demolishing Borussia Moenchengladbach than with the first club hat-trick of his career. “Chicharito” needed just 13 second-half minutes to score his three goals in Leverkusen’s 5-0 victory over Gladbach on Saturday as ex-Germany striker Stefan Kiessling also scored either side of halftime at Leverkusen’s BayArena. Having previously scored a hat-trick for Mexico in 2011, ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid star Hernandez hit the second treble of his career to leave him with 10 league goals this season. He is in a…
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has dismissed initial claims that his heel injury is “incurable,” telling The Sunday Times he has “no fears” about making a recovery to play an important role for Jurgen Klopp. Henderson, 25, was promoted to Anfield skipper in July by Brendan Rodgers following Steven Gerrard’s departure to LA Galaxy but only returned to action in late November after aggravating a heel injury in August and then breaking his foot during training the following month. The England international has consulted a number of medical experts including the Boston Red Sox, Royal Ballet and the Australian cricket team…
Andres Iniesta branded Barcelona’s throwing away a two-goal lead against Deportivo La Coruna to drop two vital points at the Nou Camp “inexplicable.” Lionel Messi and Ivan Rakitic brilliantly struck either side of half-time to put the Catalans in control, but goals in quick succession from Lucas Perez and Alex Bergantinos saw the game end 2-2. “It’s inexplicable, especially how we ended the game,” midfielder Iniesta told Canal Plus. “We lost control of the game at the moment when we should have had the most control and we made it easy for our rivals, who were two goals down. We…
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho described Jamie Vardy’s record-breaking run of Premier League goals as a “beautiful story” and says it is “normal” that big clubs would be interested in signing the Leicester City striker. Vardy has scored 14 goals in 15 matches to help fire Leicester City to the top of the table and also broke Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of netting in 10 consecutive matches in the Premier League. The form of the 28-year-old — who was playing non-league football for Fleetwood Town just four years ago — has prompted speculation of a lucrative move to…
Mesut Ozil’s mesmerizing form for Arsenal this season has led to reports that the Germany midfielder will be rewarded with a bumper new contract, with the club-record £42.5 million paid to Real Madrid in 2013 now looking a terrible deal for Real Madrid. The trouble is that Madrid seem to think so too, with Don Balon reporting that Los Blancos would consider re-signing the World Cup winner should James Rodriguez seek an exit from the Bernabeu amid claims of a bust-up with manager Rafa Benitez. The Spanish outlet suggests that Madrid would be keen to bring back Ozil if they…
Rafa Benitez has revealed he and Cristiano Ronaldo are “adapting to each other” after reports claiming the Real Madrid forward was not happy with the coach. Benitez took over at Madrid this summer after Carlo Ancelotti was sacked in May, though the former Liverpool and Chelsea coach has come under criticism for his tactics, the 4-0 Clasico home defeat to Barcelona, and for Madrid being thrown out of the Copa del Rey due to fielding the ineligible Denis Cheryshev against Cadiz. Reports in the Spanish media have repeatedly suggested that Ronaldo is unhappy with Benitez’s style, and the forward –…
Manchester United still hope they can beat neighbours Manchester City to the signing of Pep Guardiola and have hastily upgraded what had previously only been back-channel contact with the Bayern Munich manager, sources have told Theinfostride — but there is concern they might have left it too late. Despite widespread reports last week that United were giving full backing to Louis van Gaal, sources now say that was partly because it was close to a big Champions League game against Wolfsburg. Defeat in that match and subsequent elimination from the competition, however, has caused doubt about the Dutch coach’s suitability…
Crystal Palace moved up to sixth in the table thanks to a Yohan Cabaye winner that grant a third defeat in four league games on struggling Southampton.

Yannick Bolasie’s perfect cross allowed the unmarked Cabaye to tap home from six yards late in the first half. Southampton’s best chance was a Shane Long strike late on. Wayne Hennessey’s stop to prevent the Republic of Ireland striker’s low shot earning Southampton an injury-time equaliser was the Welshman’s second…

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart admitted his side played poorly as they beat Swansea thanks to Kelechi Iheanacho’s injury-time deflection. The win took Manuel Pellegrini’s team to the top of the Premier League, but they looked weak after a Champions League win on Tuesday. Swansea, who sacked Garry Monk on Wednesday, had equalised on 90 minutes after Wilfried Bony’s opener. “It was a big win considering we were awful,” Hart told BBC Sport. Listen – Man City leave it late to beat Swansea “I thought Swansea played really well considering the difficult circumstances. When we play well, I am a…
