Darkoo releases ‘Right Now’ featuring Davido & Rvssian

The song, released on October 11, 2024, is a mid-tempo record that combines RnB melodies with Afrobeats elements for a captivating fusion that sees Darkoo and Davido wear their hearts on their sleeves.
‘Right Now’ sees Darkoo continue her fine form with the song coming off the back of her hit single ‘Favourite Girl’ remix featuring Rema.
For Davido, this marks another collaboration in a year where he had delivered several guest verses notably among which is BoyPee, Hyce, and Brown Joel‘s ‘Ogechi’ remix and more recently, ‘Joy’ next to the Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo.
Jamaican star Rvssian also brought his unique talent to the track which is set to be another listener’s favourite. Rvssian is no stranger to Afrobeats having previously collaborated with Nigerian Grammy-nominated singer Ayra Starr on his hit single ‘Santa’.
Since breaking into the mainstream, Darkoo has been one of the rising stars in the UK Afrobeats scene. In 2022, she was one of the artists on the remix of Camidoh’s smash hit ‘Sugarcane’. She also appeared on the remix of Tion Wayne‘s smash hit ‘Body’.
Her latest single will undoubtedly increase fans’ anticipation for her debut album which is expected to be released in the coming months.

Ghosted or Entitled? The Wumi Toriola vs. Chef T drama and the business of collaboration

The recent social media fallout between Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola and food blogger Chef T, aka Diary of a Kitchen Lover, has sparked an interesting conversation about collaboration, and entitlement. and the blurred lines between film stars and digital influencers in Nigeria’s entertainment space.
Toriola’s public call-out stemmed from an unanswered Instagram DM she sent to Chef T in August 2024, requesting a collaboration.
She later posted a screenshot of the message on March 13, 2025, expressing frustration over the lack of response.
Her caption, laced with disappointment, suggested that Chef T had become too big to acknowledge others, igniting a debate about professional courtesy and the unwritten rules of collaboration.
While some social media users supported Toriola’s grievance, arguing that Chef T could have simply responded with a “yes” or “no,” others found her approach entitled.
Critics pointed out that collaborations are voluntary, not obligatory, and questioned whether Toriola was offering Chef T any real value in return.
Some even speculated that the actress was attempting to leverage the food blogger’s platform to promote an upcoming project, rather than genuinely engaging in mutual creative exchange.

The Nollywood-Influencer crossover.
This incident highlights the growing overlap between Nollywood stars and social media influencers.
While actors once relied solely on film roles and media appearances for relevance, today’s digital era demands more visibility beyond the big screen. Many now collaborate with influencers to stay in the public eye and promote projects.

However, these partnerships aren’t always seamless. Influencers operate differently, building their platforms on personal branding, audience trust, and carefully curated content.
Unlike actors who work within structured productions, influencers control their creative direction and business interests.
This autonomy allows them to accept or decline collaborations based on what fits their brand, making mutual benefit a key factor in any successful partnership.
Collaboration is a two-way street
One key lesson from this controversy is that collaboration should be mutually beneficial. A Nollywood actor appearing in a cooking video may seem like a win for the actor’s exposure, but does it provide equal value to the influencer?
This question becomes even more relevant when considering the logistics; who covers production costs, how the content is monetised, and whether it genuinely enhances engagement for both parties.
Without a clear win-win situation, influencers, like Chef T, may feel justified in ignoring unsolicited requests.
On the flip side, professional courtesy still matters. Even if a collaboration isn’t of interest, a simple response, whether affirmative or a polite decline can go a long way in maintaining industry relationships.
Ghosting, particularly in creative industries, can come off as dismissive and burn potential bridges.
Given the unpredictable nature of entertainment and digital media, today’s ‘irrelevant’ request might become tomorrow’s golden opportunity.
Final Thoughts
At its core, this drama isn’t just about a missed DM; it reflects the evolving entertainment landscape where Nollywood stars and influencers increasingly intersect.
The lines between traditional celebrity culture and digital creators are blurring, requiring new rules of engagement.
For Nollywood actors, influencers aren’t just platforms for visibility; they are creators with carefully built brands. For influencers, a simple response, even to decline helps maintain goodwill.
Ultimately, successful collaborations thrive on mutual respect, clear communication, and shared value. When both sides strike this balance, creative partnerships can flourish; without the social media drama.

I sent him money when he was in school – Asake’s baby mama opens up about relationship

Adijat, the lady claiming to be the baby mama of Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has opened up about her relationship with the singer when things were good.
Social media reports revealed that Adijat and Asake’s relationship produced an 11-year-old daughter named Zeenat.
Adijat surfaced after Asake’s father, who is battling stroke, called out the singer for abandoning him in a video posted on social media. In a second video, Asake’s father, sitting alongside family members, including Adijat, made some demands on the singer.
They demanded that Asake buy an N50m house in Isale Eko that would generate rental income to support his father and ask for a DNA test for Zeenat.
However, in an interview with Bukky Majet, Adijat, a mother of one, opened up about the dynamics of her relationship with the singer.
Adijat claimed that she used to support Asake financially when he had nothing. She explained that while he was schooling in Osun State, they kept in touch, and she would often send him money from her thrift business.

She said that response got her crying as she considered the years she had invested in the relationship.
