Published

on

Nigerian award-winning singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has shared the words of encouragement his wife, Chioma Adeleke, offered him after he lost at the Grammy Awards for the second time.

Davido’s song With You, featuring Omah Lay, was nominated in the Best African Music Performance category but did not win.

The highly contested African Grammy category had strong Nigerian representation, with nominations for Burna Boy (Love), Davido (With You featuring Omah Lay), and a joint entry by Ayra Starr and Wizkid (Gimme Dat).

Also nominated were Hope & Love by Eddy Kenzo and Mehran Matin.

Despite the strong Nigerian presence, none of the country’s nominees clinched the award.

The award went to South African singer Tyla for her track Push 2 Start on Sunday, marking the artist’s second Grammy trophy.

Taking to Instagram after the event on Monday night, Davido revealed that he initially told his wife there was no need for them to attend the after-party following the loss.

However, Chioma encouraged him to go ahead.

Sharing photos from their outing, the singer wrote: “I said, ‘Baby listen, we lost again, let’s not go!’ She said, ‘Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. We’re outside.’”

Women are backbone of Nollywood, says Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde

Published

on

Award-winning Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has said that women are the backbone of Nigeria’s film industry, saying they dominate key areas and often operate multiple businesses alongside their acting careers.

Speaking during an interview at Naija FM 102.7 which was shared on Youtube on Friday and has since been trending, the actress emphasised the critical role women have played in sustaining Nollywood from its early days.

“Women are the ones who hold this industry, right from the start. Women are the ones who do well for this industry. Women are mostly the producers. Women are the ones who hold Nollywood really,” she said.

She further highlighted the entrepreneurial drive among female actors, noting that many of them run multiple businesses in addition to acting.

“I don’t know any female actor, even small ones who just entered this industry, that don’t get at least like three or four businesses,” she said. “A lot of the females get businesses. They run different things. Most of them are influencers. They are doing acting, modelling, they have shops.

“You will hear say this one get boutique, that one gets this one, virtually everybody I know gets one or the other. Our job is very intense. You have to be on call. With acting, this is crazy to me. I think the balance must be there,”

Omotola also compared the experiences of male and female actors, stating that while men receive admiration, the level of attention women get is more intense.

“Male actors too dey try, but I don’t think it’s as intense as the women,” she said. “Women get admirers. Men too get admirers wey dey help them, but women have more.”

Omotola went on to reveal that even as a married woman, she continues to receive assistance and gifts from admirers, both men and women.

“Me, wey be married woman sef, I know how many people don dash me things. Asin women and men not be just men, women and men just see me, just say, ‘Oh, I’m sending you this, they don dash me car before sef”she said.

Despite the attention and gifts, the actress emphasised that her husband remains completely secure in their marriage.

“My husband is the most secure. How you go marry Omosexy and you no go Dey secure. My husband is the most secure human being you will ever meet. The most secure, you know, no shaking,” she stated.

Omotola, who has been married for over two decades, is often regarded as one of Nollywood’s most admired actresses and has frequently spoken about the importance of trust and stability in marriage.
