Latest entertainment gist

Skrillex has confirmed he will be releasing new album ‘Quest For Fire’ later this week.

The EDM superstar released his debut album ‘Recess’ in 2014 and has spoken about a follow-up ever since. 

In May 2022, he confirmed that he had at least two new albums on the way and started 2023 by teasing a double album.

Skrillex then released a string of singles. A day after returning with ‘Rumble’, Skrillex shared ‘Way Back’, a collaboration with PinkPantheress and Trippie Redd. He followed those up with ‘Leave Me Like This’ (a joint effort with Bobby Raps), ‘Real Spring’ (with Bladee) and ‘Xena’ featuring Palestinian singer and composer Nai Barghouti.

Yesterday (February 11) Skrillex confirmed he would be releasing new album ‘Quest For Fire’ this Friday (February 17). He also teased some of the tracks during a basement DJ set.

In the description for the Update, Skrillex shared a list of track names and collaborations with many fans assuming this will be the tracklist for ‘Quest For Fire’. It included the previously released ‘Rumble’, ‘Xena’ and ‘Leave Me Like This’ alongside 2021 singles  ‘Butterflies’ with Four Tet and Starrah, ‘Too Bizarre’ with Swae Lee and Siiickbrain and ‘Supersonic (My Existence)’ with Noisia, Josh Pan and 100 Gecs‘ Dylan Brady.

Skrillex also teased ‘Warped Tour ‘05’, a collaboration with Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, as well as team-ups with Missy Elliott and Porter Robinson. 

Skrillex is yet to confirm a release date for his other project ‘DGTC’.

More unreleased music was teased at Skrillex’s three secret shows in London and the artist revealed in January that his recent absence from music came down to 2022 being “the toughest year of my life”, during which he felt “no drive and purpose for the first time”.

“For the first time in 4-5 years I’ve found a new sense of peace. It took so much work and sacrifice to get here,” he added. “The support you’ve all shown over the years does mean the world and I’ll continue to work on myself and not get into a situation where I have to cancel shows / go into hiding.”

“My dad Wizkid is not the one begging for pussy” — Son

Latest entertainment gist

When it comes to savage responses, the Baloguns specifically those related to Wizkid by blood, are not to be trifled with and being Davido does not save you from such.

In a recent social media exchange, 13-year-old Boluwatife Balogun, the eldest son of renowned Nigerian artiste Wizkid, threw some savage response at his father’s rival, David Adeleke following their online spat.

Facing some online banter from a Davido fan, Boluwatife Balogun came to his father’s defense rather than keep mute.

The ongoing rivalry between Wizkid and Davido escalated in recent days, with both artistes engaging in public spats and trading insults online. Davido, responding to Wizkid’s jibes, took aim at Wizkid’s physical stature, claiming that Wizkid is so short that he wears size 7 shoes and jokingly suggesting he shops at Footlocker Kids.

Some individuals on social media supported Davido’s claims by sharing photos purportedly showing Wizkid wearing shoes matching his son Bolu’s shoe size.

Davido further escalated the feud by disparaging Wizkid’s music, boasting about his own hits, and challenging Wizkid to release new music simultaneously. He also ridiculed Wizkid’s height, suggesting that despite his own short stature, Wizkid is even shorter.

A Davido fan, seizing the opportunity to taunt Wizkid’s family, commented on Boluwatife Balogun’s TikTok page, asking if it was true that both Bolu and his father wear the same shoe size.

Bolu promptly responded to the taunt, defending his father by highlighting Wizkid’s character and integrity, asserting that despite any jokes about shoe sizes, his father doesn’t stoop to begging for attention or engaging in inappropriate behavior.
