The Billionaire Paternity Wahala: Davido & Anu Mama

See gist oh! Just when we think the Davido paternity matter don cool down, Baba Imade papa, Dr. Deji Adeleke, just enter social media like Big Boss. He did press conference o!

Wetin he talk? He say the multiple DNA tests wey dem do confirm say our 001 no be the pikin papa, zero per cent probability! Oga Adeleke even talk say the family do multiple tests, one for South Africa, just to clear doubt, and even B-Red dwy involved for the matter to cancel any ojoro.

He threw heavy shade at that aunty journalist (Kemi Olunloyo), say na she dey manage the pikin IG page to dey call for fresh DNA and cause palava. Small pikin wey no be Davido own, dem don even give am 'Adeleke name already. Na wa o! Davido sef just drop one simple 'Thank you' to him dad on X and focus on his #5IVEAliveTour.

But wait o! The pikin mama, Ayo Labinjoh, no gree! She fire back immediately, say na lie say them no do any multiple tests, she accused the Adeleke family of 'intimidation and manipulation.' She still dey insist on a fresh, independent DNA. E be like this matter no go end anytime soon! Table shaker don scatter the table finish.

VDM vs. Wizkid & The Ratel 'Setup' Gist

If you think VDM (VeryDarkMan) na only Davido matter he get time for, you dey bone! The guy still carry enter Wizkid lane and the FC boys dey drag am.

VDM join the Seun Kuti vs. Wizkid fight and warn Big Wiz make he no disrespect Fela Kuti's legacy. He even talk say some Wizkid songs na Fela sample and say the Big Three (Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy) are not more talented than the legends of the past. Omo! VDM no send anybody papa!

But the main koko of the week! be say - Remember that VDM and BLord serious online fight over the 'Ratel' trademark? The way dem dey drag each other and threaten court? Na full-blown PR setup!

BLord finally open mouth and confess say the whole thing, including the Ratel drama and even the Blunt Gadget Rally, na planned work between him and VDM to get attention for the Ratel App! Ah! So all the online noise na audio?! VDM don turn PR consultant! No be small market strategy be that! You see why you must Aproko well before you take sides?!

Your Take?

• Who you think dey tell the truth for the Davido/Anu DNA matter: Papa Davido or Anu Mama?
• Wetin you think about VDM and BLord turning their beef into a pure marketing stunt? Na smart move or just cruise?

Drop your comments, make we gba gba!

Chai! Aproko-padi, e be like say we don reach the stage where we must carry microscope dey view all these online gbas-gbos. You just drop the premium gist wey make brain scatter, especially that VDM kpi.

Forget the Davido DNA matter small (though Papa Davido dropping press conference like say na album release is pure luxury dragging!), let’s talk about that VDM/BLord revelation. Honestly, the arguable point here is not whether it was smart or not—it was brilliant from a purely business standpoint.

But the real thankful opinion, wey everybody must hold dear, is that this staged ‘beef’ is the receipt AprokoNation needed.

Y'all, we must be profoundly thankful that BLord opened mouth and confessed say the Ratel wahala, the dragging, the court threats, all of it na full-blown packaging—a PR setup.

Why thankfully? Because it finally validates the deepest suspicion of every matured Nigerian who watches social media drama: that 90% of the ‘serious’ online fight you see is just premium audio designed to sell you something or boost an algorithm.

For real, how VDM, the 'activist,' the one who fights for authenticity and against manipulation, will now willingly turn himself into a glorified PR machine for a tech app? It shifts the goalposts completely.

Before, we used to argue: "Is VDM sincere, or is he just noise?" Now, the argument is dead. He has shown us that his activism is a spectrum, and sometimes, that spectrum includes a fat, juicy marketing budget.

We should be thankful because the next time Wizkid FC dey drag Burna Boy's fans, or the next time two bloggers dey threaten court over intellectual property, we can just sit back, drop the popcorn, and ask: "Wetin be the Ratel App for this particular gbas-gbos?"

The price of Aproko just went up. They have taught us that attention is the new currency, and they are willing to manufacture 'beef' like it's Indomie noodles just to sell their brand. VDM didn’t just turn into a PR consultant; he became the high-profile example that shows Nigerians how much their hunger for drama can be monetized. It’s a sad but necessary lesson in media literacy.

Na wetin I talk be that. Wetin una think? Does this VDM PR reveal make his future ‘real’ fights unbelievable, or do we just accept that everyone must hustle, by any means necessary? We must choose whether we want raw truth or expensive entertainment packaged as truth.

E be things, I swear!
