Every Muslim finds this offensive

Latest entertainment gist

Former aide to ex president Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmed alongside other persons have given singer Davido some flak for promoting a song with Islamic aesthetic.

David who had shared a music Update belonging to one of his recent signees Logos Olori, seemed unaware of the backlash to follow.

Bashir Ahmed was one of many to state that the Update which depicted a Muslim prayer was offensive, disrespectful and hurtful to Muslims.

This is coming on the heels of musicians like Asake and Seyi Vibez popularizing Islamic lingo in their songs and videos.

Bashir wrote:

There are many reasons why every Muslim finds this content absolutely disrespectful, hurtful and offensive @davido. I assume you all know that we Muslims don’t mix our religion with jokes in any way, especially Salah (prayer), which is sacred and the second of the five pillars of Islam. In Salah, Muslims remember our Lord, Allah, express our love and respect for Him and invoke and strive to express our gratitude towards Him. The notion is that the Salah activity brings the individual face-to-face with God. That is what we believe, and that is our faith. Please respect it.
No Muslim will find it as an honor or acceptable.

All going downhill for United as Casemiro picks another injury

Latest entertainment gist

From hope to despair it would seem for Manchester United as after his return from injury, Brazilian midfielder, Casemiro picks up yet another injury after Wednesday’s defeat to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup.

After a few weeks on the sidelines, the former Real Madrid star was given a start against the Magpies in the fourth round of the EFL Cup tie that ended in an eventual 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford.

However, in the aftermath of the game, it is reported that the defeat is least of Manchester United’s current problems as Casemiro is set to miss the Red Devils’ next clash versus Fulham in the weekend.

The Manchester United boss confirmed this when asked of the reason behind the substitution of the Brazilian in the 0-3 humiliation.

Tougher times lie ahead for Erik ten Hag, with the 2023/24 season the toughest the Dutchman has ever faced in his managerial career so far.

The Old Trafford side have received 2 back-to-back defeats on home turf by the same score line; one in a derby game, and the other in an elimination round of the EFL Cup.

Manchester United’s recent win was the Champions League tie versus FC Copenhagen whose victory came forth thanks to unlikely heroes Harry Maguire and Andre Onana.

“Your Old Man inspired my jokes” — AY to Seun Kuti

Latest entertainment gist

Seun Kuti may have started the online drama, but AY Makun plays his part to perfection, and its his response that concludes the ‘dog’ matter.

Nigerian comic artiste and standup comedian, AY Makun has responded to Afrobeat star, Seun Kuti over the allegations that he had labeled Kuti’s daughter a dog in one of his standup acts.

These claims arose following Seun Kuti’s accusations that AY made jokes about his encounters with the police and prison ordeals and also insulted his daughter.

During an Instagram Live session, Seun Kuti criticized AY’s actions, describing him as “unfunny” and a “dry goat with a smelly mouth.”

He even alleged that AY is known in the entertainment industry for having mouth odor and accused him of being a woman beater, stating that none of his children would respect him.

In response, AY released a Update on his social media page, vehemently denying the allegations. He emphasized that, having experienced the struggle of trying to have a child for 13 years, he would never mock another person, especially a child, by referring to them as a dog.

AY clarified that the reference to a dog named ‘Hilda’ in one of his skits was unrelated to Seun Kuti’s daughter and stemmed from a separate incident involving individuals who had faced backlash for eating dog meat in Akwa Ibom state.

BREAKING: Seun Kuti released on bail

Regarding the claim of having mouth odor, AY expressed his confusion about how Seun Kuti came to that conclusion, as they had never had close contact.

He also highlighted that comedians use humor to address various social issues and trending topics, emphasizing that people with a good sense of humor should not take these jokes seriously.

AY also drew a parallel with Seun’s father, the legendary Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, who was known for attacking and making fun of politicians with his songs and comments.

AY suggested that comedians had learned from Fela’s approach and noted that people often make jokes about him, which he takes in stride because he understands they are meant in good humor.

Captioning his post, he wrote:

Finally, the time has come for me to present to the world officially a very bold dream I had and have been nurturing for the past few years.

Everyone who knows me knows how much I love everything music, from my primary days buying songbooks to learning every song lyric of Eminem, 50cent, Snoop Dogg et al, to forming my own little “Mohits crew” with my friends, to my dance crew in secondary school.

It has not been an easy fit carrying and nurturing this dream as I have constantly battled the fear of the many “what ifs” that come with such a humongous venture. But alas, I am a strong believer in the saying, “God will not put a dream in your mind that is too big for you to handle”

So, Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the birth of my record label POLLUX RECORDS @polluxrecords

And on this note, I hereby announce Pollux Records’ first talent, VALENTIIANO @valentiianoo

Valentino is a very talented well-rounded musician whom I’ve had the pleasure of knowing all my life and working very closely with musically for the past 2 years. Beyond the joy of seeing my dreams come true is the greater joy of bringing another person’s dream to life and it brings me so much happiness doing this with my brother.

I can’t wait to show you all the great music that we have been cooking.

I want to thank you all my family and supporters who have stood with me firmly for years now through all my endeavors, and I pray you extend the same support to Pollux Records and Valentino.
