Psquare feud: Is social – Psquare feud: Is social…

Psquare feud: Is social – Are family meetings now…

Are family meetings now a thing of the past?

One thing about having a family is that you’re bound to clash at one point or another, if not multiple times in a day, even. Family disputes are as old as families themselves and every person has had at least one dispute with a sibling, which is normal.

However, what is not normal is airing out your conflicts online, and this has pretty much become the norm with celebrities… but why?

By now, we all know that the Psquare brothers Paul and Peter have been at loggerheads for years and recently announced the end of the pop duo again. Whether you like it or not, you definitely heard about their fight because it was splattered across social media and news headlines for years.

Merely days ago, Paul Okoye, AKA Rudeboy, took to Instagram to tell the world that his brother stole his song. He claimed ownership of the song Winning that was released by his twin brother, thus reigniting their age-old feud yet again. Psquare fans witnessed a rollercoaster of emotions as the brothers aired their grievances and private conversations through public posts, leaving little room for reconciliation without outside interference.

As one would expect, social media users have taken sides, backing up either brother and tearing the other apart. The problem with that is that social media can escalate tensions that might otherwise be resolved privately. When family members broadcast their grievances online, they lose the opportunity to settle matters quietly and risk intensifying emotions under the scrutiny of public opinion.

The Psquare brothers aren’t the only ones who have recently gone at each other’s throats on the internet; we also have the Edochie brothers.

A little backstory: Nollywood actor Yul Edochie was married to May Yul-Edochie and they had children together. Along the line comes Judy Austin, whom he welcomed a child with while still married to May and then he took her in as a second wife. May promptly divorced him and Yul has been happily married to Judy since and posting her online constantly.

Recently, Yul’s brother, Linc, spoke on their marriage during a podcast and advised him to keep his marriage private and this did not go down well with Yul, who, in turn, took to his Instagram to completely slam his brother…right there for everyone on the internet to see.

He said in part, “You wey hide your marriage inside house, you no still divorce? Your wife no leave you? Psycos. Everybody na adviser for social media,” and in another post said, “Never castigate your family in public. Never. That’s the sign of a weak person.” Isn’t that contradictory?

Whatever happened to family meetings? You know, the type that older family members usually set up over the little and usually irrelevant things? It seems like celebrities need those because these days, with the rise of social media, it appears as though the art of settling issues face-to-face or over a phone call is lost. Why would you want millions of people all up in your business?

Keeping family issues private fosters respect and encourages better communication. By discussing your issues privately, family members can express emotions honestly without fearing judgement or backlash from outsiders (which would always happen on social media). Healthy communication channels allow siblings to address the real issues underlying their conflicts, paving the way for genuine reconciliation.

Another thing that we need to remember is the fact that the internet never forgets. People say it every so often online to warn others about a little something called ‘digital footprint,’ so even if a celebrity deletes the post in which they dragged their siblings, someone else would still have it. On top of that, even if they forgive one another and try to move on, the internet would always remind them of when they didn’t get along.

Instead of seeking validation or support online, siblings should prioritise family bonds over public approval. The value of resolving conflicts privately allows for honest communication, mutual respect, and a better chance of rebuilding trust without external pressures. While social media can often feel like an open invitation to share, some matters are best left behind closed doors, even if you choose not to forgive one another.

Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez has raised the alarm that his life is being threatened by some persons he refused to name.

The rapper made the claim in a post on X while responding to a fan who expressed worry after saying he won’t spend 15 years in the music industry despite being just 29.

In addition, Blaq claimed in his post that his fans have nothing to worry about as he’d already recorded three albums to keep his legacy alive in the event of his death.

The fan with the handle @LfCPraise had written, “I no understand, no kpai o. Abeg.”

In response, the rapper wrote, “Them say them go kill me, but I don record enough for 3 more albums, no fear, because rap actually hard for some people.”

This exchange between the rapper and the fan happened amid a raging beef between Blaq and fellow rapper Odumodublvck.

The beef escalated on Sunday, with both rappers launching direct attacks.

It all started days ago after Blaq dissed Odumodublvck in his latest song with A-Q, ‘Who’s Really Rapping.’

The duo initially started throwing indirect shades at each other on X. Still, the situation has since escalated after Odumodublvck replied to a tweet by Blaq claiming rap is difficult for some rappers.

Odumodublvck countered Blaq, saying if rap was difficult for him, his (Blaqbonez’s) last hit wouldn’t be a collaboration with him.

He claimed that he is “everything” Blaq aims to be. He wrote, “If rap hard for me, your last hit no go dey with me. I’m everything you want to be, n*gga.

“Your spirit is weak.”

Responding, Blaq challenged Odumodublvck to go to the studio and reply to his diss track through bars and stop fighting on social media.

He wrote, “Enter studio and get TF out my mentions. This no be Twitter warfare. And stop calling the whole industry crying about me. No be so Kendrick Lamar dey do. Hip-hop legacy.”

Odumodublvck responded, saying his beef with Blaq is beyond the studio, stressing that it isn’t rap beef, and adding that they would meet on the street.

He wrote, “You want to make it about studio. Na lie. We go meet again for street. You know the level. This is not a rap beef. Na me and you for this world.”

How I dumped banking for music – Ric Hassani

Nigerian singer Ric Hassani has opened up about the moment he decided to leave his job at a top Nigerian bank to pursue music as a career.

Speaking during an interview on the CreativiTea podcast, Hassani revealed that although he struggled to break into the music industry, he didn’t hesitate to make the switch when his big break presented itself.

On the difficulties he faced in breaking into the music industry, he explained that he was rejected mainly because his sound was different and did not align with what the industry considered commercially viable.

“When I first came to Lagos, nobody wanted to sign me because I came to Lagos with a different type of sound,” he said.

However, he revealed that his big break came most unexpectedly after his song was used in a proposal video posted on a popular wedding blog.

He explained that his song, and not the wedding proposal grabbed the attention of netizens with many in the comments asking whose song it was.

As a result of the buzz the song got from the video, Hassani revealed that he got an invite to perform at a show; a development that ultimately turned things around for him, music-wise.

He added that the payment he received from the show was more than his monthly salary as a bank staff, noting that this pushed him to leave his job to face the music fully.

Hassani recounted, “Somebody was getting married on Bellanaija. So they posted the proposal video, and then my song was in the background.

“Normally, when they post a proposal video, the comments are always about the couple. But this time, everybody was like, ‘What song is that?’

“So they called me for a show, and this was more than my salary. So I left Access Bank. I said, I’m not doing it again.”

Since his breakout, Hassani has cemented himself as one of Nigeria’s best vocalists, with his talent earning him numerous awards and nominations.
