Veteran music artiste Seyi Sodimu admonishes talented creatives to diversify their incomes
Veteran music artiste Seyi Sodimu admonishes talented creatives to diversify their incomes
Talented and veteran music artiste Seyi Sodinmu in a recent post on his instagram page @seyi.sodimu admonished ‘ Artist, actors and creatives ,please learn to make money outside your art.diversify now’.
The ‘Love me jeje’ singer cited examples of successful music artistes well known in the world that diversified and made money from different sources other than entertainment.
Seyi Sodimu wrote ’Dr Dre made most of his money from Sean Jean [fashion], Jay Z made most of his money from Rocca wear[fashion], 50 cent made most of his money from Vitamin water and Tv production [power], Michael Jordon is worth over $2 billion , most of it from Jordon clothing. Thank me later, I am well on my way’.
This admonition from a music artiste who has been in the industry for over 20 years is apt and coming at a time when most people in the entertainment industry are seen living luxurious lives with numerous cars and houses seen on social media.
There is indeed life after a successful music career, things change and only a few creative entertainers have remained relevant for long. It is very important to diversify and have streams of income for the days when their present crafts do not bring their desired lifestyles.
Cubana chiefpriest takes side with Davido in the battle of superiority with Burnaboy
Celebrity barman Cubana Chiefpriest takes side with Davido in the battle of superiority with Burnaboy. This is coming after Davido posted that he and Wizkid are the greatest of all time.
Burnaboy refuted this claim that Davido and Wizkid are the greatest. Davido on May 22 2020 posted a picture of himself and Wizkid in white outfits @davidoofficial’ The 2 greatest of all time’.
However, Cubana Chiefpriest posted on his Instagram page @cubana_chiefpriest ‘ It was not Davido that said he should be born into the Adeleke family, do not fight destiny, you see this crown it was God that gave it Davido’. As a wealthy person Davido never looked out for a rich girl friend rather he made her rich’.
Furthermore, Cubana Chiefpriest reiterated ‘ Davido at the age of 26 has a 5 year old daughter. With the wealth of his father has raised talents to super stars and he even made his gateman rich’.
Moreso, the popular celebrity barman said if it were Burnaboy’s father that had so much money, pride would not have allowed the African giant to do music for a living. Cubana Chiefpriest praised Davido for making indigent Ikotun boys to Island big boys.
He further went to say ‘ He who is rich and made others rich is the one the Igbo people call Odogwu’.
This issue of who is the greatest in the music industry in Nigeria has been a trending issue on social media and fans have really been taking sides in this battle of superiority between Davido, Wizkid and Burnaboy.
The big question is ‘Who really is the greatest amongst Davido, Wizkid and Burnaboy?

Idriss Déby Accuses Nigeria of releasing captured Boko Haram fighters
A two-minute, 17 seconds video has shown Chadian President Idriss Déby accusing Nigerian authority of releasing captured Boko Haram fighters.
A few days ago, Derby, a retired Army General, was seen in a military gear where he led his troops to confront Boko Haram fighters at the Goje-Chadian area of Sambisa forest where over 1,000 insurgents were killed in the onslaught and seized thousands of weapons belonging to the outlawed group.
After the onslaught which is the deadliest attack on Boko Haram in years, the Chadian President hinted that Nigerian soldiers were not part of the team that killed some members of the dreaded group.
Before that, the Abubakar Shekau-led Boko Haram fighters had launched an attack on Chadian soldiers and killed over 70 in the process.
When announcing how he plans to permanently defeat the insurgents in the Lake Chad region, the Chadian President ordered his soldiers not to allow their Nigerian counterparts free captured Boko Haram insurgents.
In a video which went viral on the social media, President Déby is seen telling the troops that if Boko Haram fighters were freed, they’d come to Chad to terrorise his people.
Derby who spoke in French said, “This place will be our zone until Nigeria sends its soldiers. Stay with them for about a month. Do not let them free captured weapons or any Boko Haram terrorists, they will return to Chad and this will just hurt us.”
His soldiers were seen hailing while he spoke, “So let them just understand. We are not leaving the situation like this.
“In the next few days, I will speak with the President of Niger. You guys destroyed at least 90 per cent of Boko Haram.
“That I confirm and can tell the world that 90 per cent of Boko Haram is destroyed. The 10 per cent that are left are running everywhere,” he said.
He confirmed that some of the insurgents drowned while some of them escaped and ran saying, “but they will never come to Chad again. Chad is no place for Boko Haram.”
It isn’t the first time the Chadian president would be indicting Nigerian authority in the fight against insurgency.
In March 2015 during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, he stated that Nigeria was absent from the war against Boko Haram.
At the time of this report, Defence Headquarters was yet to respond to Derby’s allegation.
