Nigerian singer Terry Apala has recounted how his father abandoned him and his siblings with their mum.

He said his dad was not part of his life, stressing that he only came back 17 years after he abandoned them and died in their house the same day he visited.

The Apala crooner disclosed this in a candid interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo.

He said: “My dad was not there [for me]. He was not there. He was just somewhere, living his life. I have no relationship with him at all.

“I left my dad in 1990 and the day I saw my dad was the day he was dying. He came all the way from Apapa to our house in Mushin. He was strong and healthy. He asked after my mum and I told him she wasn’t around. I called my mum and informed her that my dad was around and she told me to ask him to leave. I told my dad what my mum said but he insisted that he would wait till she came back. Because my other siblings heard he was around, they couldn’t come home that night.

“So, it was just me, my dad, and our lastborn, Obi. We slept together. He slept on the bed with my junior brother. I think he was throwing up when I woke up. It was very touching. Even though I didn’t really feel bad because this man was not there, but, you know, you go pity person wey don die. So, that was the day I saw my dad last. From our house to mortuary.

“I think he knew that he was going to die because we didn’t see him for like 15 to 17 years and suddenly, he came and rested in our house and went straight to mortuary.”

Burna Boy got $5m advance payment from record label - Rapper Phenom

Nigerian hip-hop artiste Phenom has revealed that Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy received a $5 million advance payment before signing a recording deal with American record label Atlantic Records in 2017.

He claimed that Nigerian-American music executive Matthew ‘Baus’ Adesuyan, the owner of Bad Habit, an imprint of Atlantic Records, to which Burna Boy is signed, facilitated the payment.

The ‘Murder Dem’ crooner disclosed this in the latest episode of The Yarns podcast.

He also stated that he would return to rapping if presented with a $1 million advance payment offer from any record label.

He said, “If you really want someone like me to rap, give me $1 million. Lock me up in the studio. Those rapping in America, they [music executives] give them big contracts. Even before Burna Boy made a comeback to music, the guy that gave him the connection to Atlantic Records [Matthew ‘Baus’ Adesuyan], they gave him [Burna Boy] $5 million when he was coming back.”

Phenom said raving rappers like Odumodublvck would soon quit rapping for singing because hip-hop is no longer lucrative.

“If someone like Odumodublvck is given $100,000 advance by his label, he will have to drop rap, start singing and enter TikTok to make it back for the label,” he said.

Sam Loco-Efe most intelligent Nollywood actor that ever lived - Charles Inojie

Veteran Nigerian actor, Charles Inojie has described his late colleague, Sam Loco-Efe, as “the most intelligent Nollywood actor that ever lived”.

In a recent chat with a media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Inojie said Efe was “from another planet” due to how much of a genius he was.

He said regrettably, the legendary thespian died without a national honour.

Inojie said, “Uncle Sam (Sam Loco-Efe) was perhaps the most intelligent Nollywood actor that ever lived. He can be here smoking cigarette, and people are rehearsing that way, you won’t know that his subconscious mind is where they are rehearsing. He would be correcting you from afar, you won’t even know he is talking to you.

“If you have a scene to play with him, Uncle Sam would only read with you once. He would ask the others to rehearse their lines. He would read that scene just once. He would say his lines, and when you missed yours, he would tell you your lines. Since I’ve been meeting people, I haven’t seen that type before. Uncle Sam was from another planet.

“But the country we live in, how can anyone imagine that Uncle Sam died without a national honour? In a country where national honours are being given to neophytes, greenhorns. Uncle Sam died without a national honour.

“One of Nigeria’s entries to FESTAC 1977, I think that was ‘Lambodo’ where uncle Sam played the lead role. He got a special mention from the Queen as the best actor in Africa. That kind of human being, even in death, he deserves posthumous awards.”

Sam Loco-Efe died on August 7, 2011, at the age of 65.

Why I don’t believe in monogamy - Singer Young Jonn

Popular record producer and singer, John Saviours Udomboso, also known as Young Jonn, has revealed why he doesn’t believe in monogamy.

According to him, “free” nature prevented him from settling for just one woman.

In the latest episode of actress T**e Makinwa’s podcast, T**eMoments, Young Jonn stated, “I don’t want to be limited to just one woman. I am just free.

“Contrary to the popular belief that musicians and entertainers are promiscuous, everybody is engaging in these things. They’re simply not as visible about it. Musicians, however, have their lives on display, so everyone sees what they do.

“My polygamous nature isn’t because of the industry I’m in. Ever since I was a young boy, I used to question everything. I’d ask why it has to be one man, one woman. Since then, I’ve always wanted to explore different routes. I don’t want to say fantasies.”

He expressed uncertainty about getting married unless he meets a woman who can change his perspective on love and marriage.
