Portable, originally known as Habeeb Okikiola, gained prominence in December 2021 through the street-hop track ‘Zazoo Zeh’ featuring Olamide and Poco Lee.

Subsequently, Portable has attracted attention for various controversial incidents.
Davido shot to stardom with his 2012 hit ‘Dami Duro’ and has solidified his position as a key figure in the music scene.

In March 2023, Davido dropped ‘Timeless’, his fourth studio album, which received significant acclaim and amassed millions of streams.

The artist has accumulated numerous accolades and award nominations for his musical talent.
Last year, Davido secured his debut Grammy Award nomination across three categories.

The FCT Police Command has refuted rumors circulating that Nigerian social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan or VDM, was arrested.

Police: Verydarkman has not been arrested.

Reports earlier emerged on Sunday purporting that the social critic was arrested by operatives of the Nigerian Police for allegedly exposing a criminal act.

However, when contacted by Afric Showbiz, the Police Public Relations Officer of the FCT Command, SP Josephine Adeh, said Verydarkman was only invited for questioning.

She explained that VDM was interrogated regarding accusations of cyberstalking, cyberbullying, and defamation of character. He was released promptly upon providing a statement addressing the allegations made against him by a specific individual.

Sean Kingston, the well-known singer of “Beautiful Girls,” and his mother, Janice Turner, are facing federal charges for allegedly defrauding businesses of over £1 million.

Singer Sean Kingston and his mother charged in $1 million federal fraud case

Federal prosecutors announced that a Grand Jury in Miami indicted Kingston and Turner on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and five counts of wire fraud. The charges stem from allegations that the duo orchestrated a scheme to defraud businesses by acquiring jewellery, luxury vehicles, and other high-end goods without making proper payments.

According to the indictment, Kingston and his mother falsely claimed to have sent money transfers to pay for the goods. Despite the payments never going through, they retained possession of the items. Among the fraudulent acquisitions were a £160,000 Cadillac Escalade and £480,000 worth of jewellery.

The alleged fraud resulted in Kingston and Turner unjustly enriching themselves by more than £1 million. The duo was arrested in May following a raid on Kingston’s mansion in Florida and made their first appearance in federal court on Friday, 19th July.

If convicted, Kingston and Turner face severe penalties, with each of the six counts carrying a potential maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Sean Kingston’s attorney, Robert Rosenblatt, told TMZ that they are prepared to litigate the case in federal court and are confident of a favourable outcome.
