Nigerian singer Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, known also known as Ayra Starr, has revealed that she was a social media troll before becoming famous.

The 22-year-old singer shared that she had a page dedicated to rapper Nicki Minaj.

She disclosed this on the I Said What I Said podcast, co-hosted by Feyikemi Abudu and Jola Ayeye.

“I had a troll page, I had a Nicki Minaj fan page before I became Ayra Starr,” she said.

Since becoming famous, Ayra Starr has been very vocal about bullying from online trolls.

She has been repeatedly trolled over her skimpy dressing and postures. She once responded to trolls, saying her “bad postures” were due to the weight of carrying Afrobeats singlehandedly.

Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, a controversial Nigerian singer, was arraigned before the Isabo High Court in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Thursday.

This comes after his surrender to the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department in Yaba on Wednesday, after being declared wanted by the Ogun State Police Command.

The accusations resulted from an event on February 5, 2025, when Portable reportedly led an attack on authorities from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development during an enforcement exercise at his establishment in the Sango Ota neighbourhood.

The officers were injured, and while nine of Portable’s companions were apprehended, the singer escaped until his recent recapture.

Portable, born on March 12, 1994, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, gained prominence with his 2021 hit single “ZaZoo Zehh,” featuring Olamide and Poco Lee.

His career has been marked by multiple controversies, including public disputes with fellow artists and allegations of violent behaviour.

The Ogun State Government has condemned Portable’s actions, describing him as a “serial dissident and unrepentant rascal.”

Omowunmi Aloba, widow of late Nigerian music star Mohbad, has raised an alarm that her life and that of her one-year-old son, Liam, are in danger.

Speaking in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Omowunmi claimed that she receives death threats almost daily.

She also alleged that she had been attacked by her late husband’s former boss, Naira Marley, and his cohorts.

She stated that she’s also facing stiff opposition from her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba, whom she claimed is seeking to control the late singer’s properties.

Omowunmi said, “We no longer feel safe. I literally get death threats almost every day in my DMs. It has really gotten to a point where it’s either I speak up or I die in silence.

“I have been attacked by Naira Marley and his cohorts. My father-in-law wants to be in control of Mohbad’s properties, or he will go all out to destroy my life. My father-in-law was the one who officiated my marriage to my late husband. He was the happiest, and now he is calling our son a bastard. He said Liam has bow legs and that they don’t have such in their family. He said Liam looks older than him, and he is almost 60. He even went as far as claiming that my husband wanted to throw my baby into the Third Mainland Bridge.”

Recall that Mohbad tragically passed away under controversial circumstances in September 2023 after exiting Naira Marley’s Marlian Music over the alleged failure of the record label to fulfill their contract agreement.

The controversial nature of his death led some people to point fingers at his former label boss, Naira Marley, and his associate, Sam Larry, who was captured in a viral video assaulting the late singer before his death.

The duo were arraigned and remanded on October 6, 2023, over their alleged involvement in circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death but were later granted bail after pleading not guilty.
