“Unexpected reconciliation:”Samklef supports and prayed for Davido,for the Grammys nomination and says-“You must win”

Published

on

The rift between Nigerian singer and producer, Samuel Oguachuba, popularly known as Samklef, and the acclaimed artist Davido has been making waves in the entertainment scene. The discord initially surfaced in October when Samklef shared a video congratulating Davido on the birth of his twins with wife Chioma. This revelation, however, was not officially confirmed by Davido, leading to a swift and sharp response from the artist.

In response to Samklef’s congratulatory message, Davido, who had not publicly acknowledged the birth of his twins, rebuked Samklef and proceeded to block him on social media. Since this incident, the feud has taken various turns, with Samklef airing grievances related to an alleged outstanding debt of N1 million that Davido purportedly owes one of his associates, a University of Lagos (UNILAG) student known as Mastermind, dating back to 2020.

Despite these tensions, a recent development suggests a potential thaw in the strained relationship. Samklef, in a video shared on his Instagram page, has extended heartfelt congratulations to Davido for securing three Grammy nominations. In a surprising turn of events, Samklef not only offered congratulations but also pledged to pray for Davido’s success, expressing a desire for him to clinch victories in all three nominated categories.

“This post is a special post for Davido only! As you don get 3 nominations, I will be praying for you to win the 3. You must win something sha. And I also like the fact that you no send anybody. Me and you have something in common. Congratulations once more,” Samklef stated in the video.

This unexpected gesture of goodwill from Samklef highlights the unpredictable dynamics of feuds within the entertainment industry. Despite publicized disagreements and social media spats, artists often find ways to navigate through differences, and in this case, Samklef’s well-wishing for Davido’s Grammy success adds an intriguing layer to their complex relationship. Only time will tell how this chapter unfolds in the ongoing saga of Nigeria’s vibrant music industry.

“Portable Urges Nigerian Artists to Prioritize Afrobeats Over Amapiano After Grammy Outcome”

In response to South African singer Tyla’s Grammy win over Nigerian artists like Burna Boy and Davido, controversial artiste Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, advises Nigerian musicians to focus on promoting Afrobeats instead of Amapiano. Portable emphasized the importance of valuing Nigeria’s genre and suggested that sticking to Afrobeats would enhance Nigeria’s chances of winning international awards. He referenced the evolution of music styles, mentioning the prevalence of shaku shaku before the emergence of Amapiano. Portable asserted that Amapiano belongs to South Africans and cautioned that pursuing it wouldn’t lead Nigerians to Grammy success.

Some comments from social media users:

@lappoosky: “Even when Tyla won the award, they still played a Fela song.”

@Macy_Macy0: “After South Africa and Nigeria play, then we’ll decide this one.”

@Mahasmaan: “Brother, unlike Nigerians, South Africans don’t try to claim or imitate Afrobeats, we consume them raw. Nigerians are suffering from main character syndrome, you wouldn’t stand watching an SA genre shine!”

Here are some additional comments:

@HappinessUgboma: “It’s true what Portable said. We don’t value our Afrobeats, yet we want to use it to win a Grammy. It’s impossible. But when we use our own, it will go a long way and stand tall.”

@MaziLeeTweets: “I’ve been suggesting this: let’s leave Amapiano to them and focus on our Afrobeats. Nigerian producers should return to the drawing board and create fresh, distinctive sounds. I have confidence in SARS on this matter.”

@Sami011y: “The funny part is Amapiano isn’t the popular genre in SA. House music is more popular than Amapiano. Amapiano was just a smoke screen to generate attention for SA music! West Africans must stick to our Afrobeats because we sound very funny doing Amapiano!”
