Segun Ogungbe, a prominent Nigerian film producer and actor, has addressed recent speculation regarding the relationship between his wife and his babymama.

Ogungbe, speaking during a programme, disclosed that his wife Tinuke and his babymama, Wunmi Ajiboye, were never friends saying the two women had never been close or friends from onset.

He disclosed that the woman in question had earlier made advances at him, but when he did not budge, started the rumour after finding out that he had impregnated someone outside of wedlock.

According to Ogungbe, this admirer was someone who had shown interest in him for a long time but whom he had declined to marry.

“My wife and my babymama were never friends. The rumour of them being friends was a lie that was generated from social media,” he disclosed.

He explained that this admirer began helping him financially with his movie projects several years ago, as a way to support his career. During this period, she repeatedly expressed her desire for them to get married, but Ogungbe made it clear that he had no intention of taking another wife.

Later, after he became involved with someone else and that relationship led to a pregnancy outside of wedlock, the admirer found out and became upset. It was after learning about the pregnancy that she went online and claimed that his wife and babymama were friends, and this false narrative quickly spread on social media and was picked up by blogs.

“She got pissed and went online to say that my wife and baby mama were friends, and blogs picked it up from there. It’s not true.”

The story of Wumi and Segun Ogunbe trended for a long time last year.

Though Wumi and Segun have since parted ways, Segun was around during one of Wumi’s events.

Wunmi has repeatedly said that she was never married to Segun; they just had kids together.

“Segun Ogungbe and I didn’t do an introduction talkless of marriage. We were never married. He doesn’t know my people. We only have kids together. The party that people are dragging me for was not sponsored by MC Oluomo. I paid for everything myself. Segun Ogungbe came as a guest to the party, and his kids went to play with him,” Wunmi reacting, after she was dragged about the treatment Segun received when she came for her party.

“Will he chase his kids away? I was shocked that people said I turned him into a babysitter. We were already having issues then, but nobody knew. When I was in his life, I didn’t spoil his life; things were going fine for him, and now that I am not in his life, his life is still good. Everyone should please let me be and stop dragging me,” Wunmi stated further.

Talented drummer, guitarist and music producer, Anozie Ikemba, has captivated listeners with his newly released single, Sisi Acada, which many fans are already describing as an instant hit.

The song blends a lively Afro-highlife rhythm with Ikemba’s mellow Yoruba vocals, creating a smooth and engaging sound. Carefully balanced tones and instrumentation make the track both vibrant and easy on the ears.

Sisi Acada was produced by renowned Nigerian music producer Femi Ojetunde, whose expertise adds depth and polish to the recording.

According to Ikemba, the song carries a rich history. He originally composed Sisi Acada decades ago during his student days at University of Ibadan in Oyo State, where he received encouragement from respected playwright and scholar Femi Osofisan. At the time, fellow students often saw him performing the song with his acoustic guitar at the Tuck Shop near the university’s drama theatre.

Following his years at the University of Ibadan, Ikemba remained active within Nigeria’s arts and music circles, performing with various bands before relocating abroad—first to South Africa and later to the United States.

Shortly after settling in the U.S., he composed a song dedicated to his city of residence, Bangor. The track eventually gained recognition as a community theme song, further boosting his popularity in the area.

Looking ahead, Ikemba plans to release more songs with the aim of compiling them into an extended play (EP) project.

Fuji music star Alhaji Wasiu Alabi Pasuma has addressed controversy over a leaked voice note in which fellow artist Saheed Osupa made remarks perceived as critical of his music.

In the audio, Osupa reportedly suggested that songs by Pasuma and Fuji music co-founder Kollington Ayinla may not stand the test of time, prompting swift reactions on social media.

The development triggered backlash from fans of both artistes, many of whom accused Osupa of hypocrisy, questioning how someone who publicly identifies as Pasuma’s friend could make such comments privately.

However, Pasuma has downplayed the tension, insisting that his relationship with Osupa remains intact.

Speaking during a recent live performance, the singer reaffirmed their bond, noting that despite the controversy, they still maintain regular communication.

“Osupa is still my friend. We may not see each other every day, but we talk on the phone regularly,” he said.

In a show of goodwill, Pasuma went on to perform some of Osupa’s popular songs during the event, further signalling that there is no lingering animosity between the two Fuji stars.

Nigerian music icon Innocent Ujah Idibia aka 2Baba has ruled out the possibility of a reunion with his former group, Plantashun Boiz, saying he is no longer interested in returning to the defunct trio.

The singer made this known during a recent radio interview with media personality Steve Onu, as part of activities marking his forthcoming 25 years on stage celebration.

On the chances of the group coming back together, 2Baba said that although he holds no grudges against his former bandmates, he has moved on from that phase of his career.

“Other members of the group can go ahead, but as for me, I’m not interested,” he said.

“I have no beef with anyone, but as for me, it’s not going to happen.”

Plantashun Boiz, made up of 2Baba, Blackface and Faze, was one of Nigeria’s most influential music groups in the early 2000s, known for hit songs that helped shape the modern Afro-pop sound before the trio went their separate ways.

Despite occasional calls from fans for a reunion, 2Baba’s latest comments suggest that such expectations may remain unfulfilled, as the veteran artiste continues to focus on his solo career and legacy projects.

The singer celebrated 25 years in the music industry with a special concert, further cementing his status as one of Nigeria’s most enduring and respected performers.

One of the members of the defunct Plantashun Boiz, Augustine Amedu Obiabo, had earlier called for a reunion of the iconic music group, Plantashun Boiz.

The group, which dominated the Nigerian music scene in the late ’90s and early 2000s, originally comprised Blackface, Faze, and 2Baba (formerly known as 2Face).

In a recent post on his Instagram page, Blackface urged his former bandmates to join him in a new mission aimed at fostering unity and peace.

He posed the question, “To be or not to be?” before inviting Faze and 2Baba to weigh in on the possibility of a reunion.

Blackface emphasised the importance of coming together not just for the music but for a greater cause—world peace.

The ‘Hard Life’ crooner called on his fans and followers to voice their opinions on the matter, stressing that the potential reunion is “not a small-time thing.”

He expressed his belief that unity is strength, urging his former group members to focus on their shared mission rather than past divisions.

He wrote, “Plantashun Boiz, the question now is to be or not to be and why? @fazealone @official2baba.

“My people, oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small thing!

“Unity is strength and not division. Let’s go champs.”

Plantashun Boiz split in 2004, following the release of their sophomore album ‘Sold Out’.

In 2007, the band reunited for their third and final album, ‘Plan B,’ before splitting up again.
