1.Tiwa Savage’s leaked tape:
Top Nigerian female musician, Tiwa Savage, came out some time ago to speak on being blackmailed by an unknown person who was in possession of a video showing her sleeping with an unknown man.

2. Jane Mena vows to sue Tonto for N500 million
Popular married dancer, Jane Mena, through her lawyers decided to take up the case between actress Tonto and herself. She demanded for the sum of N500 million and a public apology from Tonto. According to her, claims that she slept with Kpokpogri were false and there was no way he could have her intimate unclad tapes.
Shortly after this, an audio went viral online of Kpokpogri speaking on the different times he had slept with Jane and how thinking about those times made him want more.
3. Tonto Dikeh gets Kpokpogri arrested:
Another celebrity gist that seems unending is also the love turned sour between Tonto Dikeh and her ex-boyfriend, Prince Kpokpogri.
According to reports, the actress got him arrested after he grounded her car at a hotel parking lot and also allegedly put a gun to her head and threatened her life.
Kpokpogri who was eventually released denied reports that he was ever arrested until videos made the rounds of him in police custody.
4. 2baba’s relatives call Pero their first lady:
Top singer, 2baba, is still enmeshed in baby mama drama after the mother of three of his kids, Pero, landed in Abuja at about the same time as the singer.
Shortly after that, videos made the rounds of people alleged to be 2baba’s relatives calling Pero the singer’s unshakeable first lady. This led to people showing love and support for Annie on social media.
5. Mercy Johnson and daughter’s teacher:
Top actress, Mercy Johnson also had her own fair share of scandal when she called out her daughter’s teacher for transferring the dislike she had for her to her daughter in school.
Shortly after Mercy made this claim online, another lady identified as Nancy took to social media with claims that the actress was lying and that she went to the school with thugs to fight.
Mercy who was obviously shaken by the claims went to the school to prove that none of such happened. The lady who also made the claims later went online to reveal that they were false and she wasn’t actually aware of what transpired before she called the actress out online.
6. BBNaija’s Maria and Cubana Chiefpriest:
Popular club owner, Cubana Chiefpriest, recently called out BBNaija star, Maria Chike Benjamin, and accused her of not only snatching his sister’s husband, Kelvin, but of also threatening her.
This caused an uproar on social media and Chiefpriest even posted what appeared to be proof of his claims.
This didn’t age well online and Kelvin’s brother also dragged the club owner. According to him, his brother’s wife was also cheating in their marriage and the union had been long over before Maria came into the picture.
Hmm.
