Last week, the Nigerian entertainment scene buzzed with significant events that caught the attention of fans and media outlets. Of these notable events, two stand out.

First is Davido’s joyous announcement of the arrival of twins and then was Wizkid’s poignant and stylish tribute to his late mother during her burial ceremony.

While these two stories took centre stage, the entertainment industry in Nigeria remained abuzz with various other updates.

The announcement of the birth of his twins was met with great excitement and celebration by fans of Davido, as it marked a special and joyous moment in the life of the beloved artist, especially with the loss of his son Ifeanyi to a swimming pool accident.

The announcement was followed by a video recording by Davido’s father, Adedeji Adeleke, confirming the news. In the video, we can see the singer and his wife Chioma Adeleke, popularly known as Chef Chi, coming out of a hospital in Atlanta with the twins.
