Don Jazzy says new record labels fail by not respecting artistes, stressing that rising talents must be treated as stars from day one. Mavin Records founder Don Jazzy has identified a lack of respect for artistes as the most damaging mistake made by emerging record label owners. The music executive shared the insight on Friday in response to a question from an X user who asked him to highlight the biggest error new labels in Nigeria often make. Don Jazzy stated that artistes signed to any label must be treated with respect from the onset, especially if the intention is to build long-term success. “If you know you are aiming at building a huge superstar, start from day one to accord them that respect,” he wrote. He added that many new label bosses admire his career but tend to emulate the wrong aspects of his public persona. According to him, he allows his artistes to take the spotlight most of the time. “90% of the time around my artists I let them be the superstars that they are. It’s only 10% of the time that I really need to be Supremos,” he said.

Davido denies belonging to the City Boys group and says his friendship with Seyi Tinubu is strictly personal. Afrobeats star Davido has distanced himself from claims that he is affiliated with the “City Boys” movement, clarifying that his relationship with Seyi Tinubu is personal and does not influence his views on national issues. The singer, whose real name is David Adeleke, made the clarification following criticism that emerged after he spoke about insecurity, hardship, and governance challenges in Nigeria. Earlier, Davido had taken to social media platform X to express concern over the state of the nation, saying entertainers, including himself, needed to speak more openly about injustice and the difficulties faced by citizens. His comments generated mixed reactions online, with some users questioning his position and suggesting that his association with political figures limited his willingness to criticize government policies. Responding to the allegations, Davido stated that he is not a member of any group known as “City Boys” and rejected suggestions that he was politically aligned through such a movement. The award-winning artist also explained that he has maintained a longstanding friendship with Seyi Tinubu but stressed that the relationship remains personal. According to Davido, his friendship has never prevented him from voicing concerns directly when necessary, noting that he frequently communicates his opinions and complaints privately. He further recalled previous criticism he faced after discussing Nigeria’s challenges on international platforms, arguing that public reactions often change regardless of an individual’s intentions. Davido maintained that his recent comments were motivated by concern for the country's future and renewed his call for entertainers and public figures to engage more actively in conversations about national development and social issues.

Aliko Dangote steps down as Chairman of the Board of Dangote Sugar Refinery, after two decades of leadership at one of Africa's most profitable companies. Aliko Dangote, widely recognized as Africa’s richest man, will formally retire as Chairman of Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc on June 16, 2025, concluding a transformative 20-year tenure at the helm of one of Nigeria’s leading food industry giants. Founded in 2005 as a key subsidiary of the Dangote Group, Dangote Sugar grew into a pan-African powerhouse under Dangote’s leadership. He spearheaded several Integration Projects in Adamawa, Taraba, and Nasarawa States, initiatives aimed at expanding domestic sugarcane cultivation and reducing the country’s dependency on imports. The board, in a statement issued by company secretary Temitope Hassan, emphasized that Dangote’s retirement aligns with "principles of good corporate governance and succession planning”. Stepping into his role will be Arnold Ekpe, an independent non-executive director known for his extensive leadership experience in African banking and industrial sectors, including a past tenure as Ecobank CEO. The transition reflects planned continuity aimed at steering the company into its next growth phase. Recent performance data highlights Dangote’s legacy: a newly opened sugar refinery in Ghana’s Kwame-Danso, capable of processing 12,000 tons of cane daily aligns with Ghana’s “ One District, One Factory ” industrial strategy. In Nigeria, the first quarter of 2025 showed revenues rising by 74.3% year-on-year to ₦213.9 billion ($133 million), with net losses narrowing dramatically to ₦23.6 billion from ₦122.7 billion in the same period last year. Overall revenue surged by 51% in 2024 to ₦665.6 billion, underpinning plans to boost output to 1.5 million tons and create roughly 75,000 jobs. Dangote, born in 1957, founded the Dangote Group in 1977 and currently ranks as Africa’s wealthiest individual, with Forbes estimating his net worth at $23.8 billion and Bloomberg placing it at $28.1 billion as of March 2025. Arnold Ekpe’s appointment signals a focus on strong governance and operational resilience. As Dangote Sugar embarks on further expansion both within Nigeria and across West Africa, stakeholders will monitor closely how the company sustains growth, enhances competitiveness, and navigates shifting regulatory and economic landscapes without its visionary founder dictating global strategy.

Bruce Melodie drops ‘Munyakazi,’ a song inspired by his journey, courage, and dreams in 2026 music plans. Bruce Melodie is set to release a highly anticipated new song titled ‘Munyakazi’ , one of the highlights as he prepares for upcoming concerts and new music in 2026. Over his 15-year music career, Melodie has shown that his songs are not just words on paper but a way to express himself, heal, and share his rarely told personal journey with the public. ‘Munyakazi’ was produced with the collaboration of three music producers: Element, who gave it an original arrangement; Loader, who refined the sound; and Bob Pro, who applied his expertise to elevate the vocals. This teamwork ensures a distinctive and unique song. The lyrics convey Melodie’s courage and resilience, referencing challenges he has overcome. He also alludes to football teams, “Gikona (APR FC)” and “Murera (Rayon Sports),” symbolizing battles he has faced, sending a message of hope and perseverance. The music video was directed by John Elarts, a Burundian visual artist, and polished by internationally renowned director Julien Bmjizzo. The final scenes were shot at Kigali Universe on the night of December 8, 2025, capturing both darkness and light to reflect Melodie’s journey. Originally planned for Melodie’s upcoming album, ‘Munyakazi’ will release ahead of schedule, followed by collaborations with Diamond Platnumz and Joel Brown. All songs are expected to launch before a major concert at BK Arena on January 1, 2026. Melodie also plans a nationwide tour across Rwanda in 2026 with The Ben, bringing his music to fans across the country. ‘Munyakazi’ carries a message of resilience, patience, and determination, rooted in Melodie’s personal experiences and musical journey.

In a recent move to aid Zimbabwe's escalating debt dilemma, China has announced the cancellation of an unspecified amount of the country's matured interest-free loans. As Zimbabwe grapples with a substantial publicly guaranteed debt of $17.7 billion as of September 2023, with $12.7 billion attributed to external creditors, this gesture comes at a crucial time. Zimbabwe, heavily reliant on Chinese financial support due to ineligibility for loans from institutions like the World Bank and IMF, faces significant economic challenges. The country’s debt scenario worsened following defaults on repayments that began in the early 2000s and continued through the governance changes post-Robert Mugabe's era. Despite China’s involvement, which positions it as Zimbabwe's largest non-Paris Club creditor, allegations of a potential "debt trap" have surfaced. Critics argue that the loans, primarily used for infrastructural developments like airport upgrades and power station expansions, may increase China's political leverage over Zimbabwe.

The country’s debt scenario worsened following defaults on repayments that began in the early 2000s and continued through the governance changes post-Robert Mugabe's era.
