Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Nigerian artist Mohbad, has revealed that he personally funded the second autopsy on his son’s body, stating that the procedure cost him N16 million. Aloba disclosed this information during a recent live session on TikTok, where he recounted the financial toll of pursuing independent forensic analysis to ascertain the cause of Mohbad’s mysterious death. “To be completely honest, I initially paid N16 million to the pathologist for the autopsy,” Aloba explained. “After that payment, I also incurred expenses amounting to nearly N2 million. So if the pathologist refutes this publicly, you should never believe anything I say again.” He addressed circulating reports that claimed the amount paid was N12 million, asserting, “Regardless of what anyone is saying, I am confirming once again—it was N16 million that I paid.” According to earlier reports by LMSINT MEDIA, this new statement from Joseph Aloba emerged just weeks after Dr. Uwom Eze, a forensic pathologist who independently examined Mohbad’s remains, declared that the autopsy could not conclusively determine the singer’s cause of death. Back in June 2024, Magistrate T.A. Shotobi of the Coroner Court in Ikorodu, Lagos State, authorized the late singer’s father to engage the services of a certified pathologist for an independent forensic autopsy.

The Arrest and Detention Skales recounted that he and his manager were arrested following a dispute involving a Nigerian billionaire. Although the issue primarily concerned his manager, Skales chose to accompany him to the police station, believing it unjust for his manager to face the situation alone. Upon arrival, Skales was unexpectedly detained and placed in a cell. Performing Behind Bars Inside the cell, fellow inmates recognized Skales and requested that he perform his popular tracks “Shake Body” and “Emergency.” In exchange for a more comfortable sleeping arrangement—a mat instead of the bare floor—Skales agreed to their request. He described the experience as humiliating but complied to ensure his safety and comfort during detention. An Offer of Violence During his time in the cell, one inmate, upon hearing the circumstances of Skales’ arrest, offered to retaliate against the billionaire responsible. Skales declined the offer, emphasizing that he did not wish harm upon anyone and preferred to resolve matters peacefully. Reflections on the Experience Skales expressed his dismay at the situation, highlighting the misuse of power by influential individuals and the complicity of law enforcement. He noted that detainees often rely on their families to provide funds for basic necessities, such as food, during incarceration. Upon his release, Skales showed gratitude by providing food for the inmates he left behind.

Renowned American entertainer and entrepreneur, Sean “Diddy” Combs, declined a proposed guilty plea arrangement from the U.S. government on Thursday in relation to his federal criminal case. Popularly known as P. Diddy, the music mogul could have potentially avoided a lengthy prison sentence by agreeing to the deal. However, when asked directly by Judge Arun Subramanian whether he was declining the prosecutors’ plea offer, Combs responded decisively, “Yes, I do, Your Honour.” Combs is now expected to proceed to trial, which is scheduled to begin on Monday with the initiation of jury selection. The charges he faces include racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and prostitution. Prosecutors allege that he manipulated women into extended sexual sessions that he is said to have called “freak-offs.” Maurene Comey, serving as Assistant U.S. Attorney, explained that had Combs accepted the plea deal, it could have considerably lessened the sentence he might receive. If found guilty on all counts, the result could be equivalent to a life imprisonment. In his court appearance, Combs wore a beige detention outfit. He appeared composed, smiling, embracing his defense team, and sharing a fist bump with one of his lawyers, Teny Geragos. During the brief proceedings, Geragos expressed concerns about public remarks made by Lisa Bloom, a Los Angeles-based attorney representing at least two of Combs’ accusers in related civil lawsuits. These statements appeared in a recent documentary tied to the case. “We’re troubled by her conduct in this context,” Geragos told the court. In response, Judge Subramanian assured that he would remind all legal representatives and witnesses to adhere to court protocol and professional conduct standards regarding public commentary. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that no prejudicial statements are made that could jeopardize Combs’ right to a fair trial.

Nigerian music star, Davido, recently boasted that he stands unrivaled when it comes to the Afrobeats genre. While the OBO crooner acknowledged that American artists like Gunna, Young Thug, and Chris Brown outperform him in trap and R&B, he confidently asserted that no one can match his skill in Afrobeats. In a recent interview on the Ebro show on Apple Music, Davido explained that his expertise in Afrobeats is the driving force behind his continued focus on the genre. He also mentioned that whenever he collaborates with artists from different genres, he ensures that Afrobeats is always present. He shared, “One of the things American artists appreciate about working with me is that we either meet halfway or I make them do it my way [Afrobeats]. That’s how it works. Like I said, I can’t perform trap better than Gunna or Young Thug, or sing R&B better than Chris Brown, but when it comes to Afrobeats, nobody can do it like me.” Davido further revealed that he has over 20 tracks with his frequent American collaborator, Chris Brown. “We could release two albums right now,” he added.

Renowned Senegalese-American musician Akon has revealed his significant contribution to the evolution of the Afrobeats music scene. He stated that his involvement with Nigerian artists and producers during the late 2000s and early 2010s was instrumental in laying the groundwork for what is now globally recognized as Afrobeats. As the founder of Konvict Muzik, Akon reminisced about his collaborative efforts with major Nigerian stars such as Wizkid, Banky W, P-Square, and D’banj, long before the genre achieved international acclaim through the ‘Afrobeats to the World’ wave. During an interview on the Sherri show, Akon explained: “2008 was the last time I released a studio album, titled Freedom. After that, I began producing music for the 2010 FIFA World Cup held in South Africa. Following that project, I traveled to Nigeria. The sounds and collaborations we initiated in Nigeria at that time have become what is now celebrated worldwide as Afrobeats.” He went on to recall signing Wizkid in 2008, marking the beginning of his work with Nigerian talents. “Wizkid was the first Nigerian artist we officially signed. We collaborated with him and Banky W back in Nigeria. That phase marked the beginning of nurturing talents like P-Square, D’banj, and many others.” Speaking about his role in expanding the global reach of African music, Akon shared his sense of purpose in the journey: “It’s the mission that I believe God placed me on. I see myself as a vessel through which success flows to others. I may not know who exactly will benefit next, but every venture we’ve embarked on has yielded great success, and I remain grateful for that.” Related Post:Read Akon’s interview and profile on Billboard BUY ANYTHING ON KONG BUY NOW Follow the LMSINT MEDIA channel on WhatsApp: Join Our WhatsApp Group Hear: Chat on WhatsApp Join our Telegram Channel

Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, widely recognized by his stage name Davido, has revealed that the Nigerian music scene experienced an unusual silence during his absence from social media in late 2022. The award-winning artist shared that his decision to go offline in November 2022—a move made following the heartbreaking loss of his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke—had a notable impact on the music industry. According to Davido, the atmosphere within the Nigerian music space shifted significantly during that period. Reflecting on the three-month hiatus, Davido stated that both supporters and critics were pleading for his return to social media platforms. During a recent conversation with Ebro Darden on Apple Music, the singer detailed the overwhelming reactions he observed during his offline period. He explained, “I was well aware of the affection people had for me. When I stopped being active on social media, the entire Nigerian music industry came to a standstill. I kept seeing posts that read, ‘We do love him’, ‘It’s so quiet out here’, ‘Davido come back.’ Even those who usually criticize me were saying, ‘Please come back, we need to bash you.’” LMSINT MEDIA previously reported that Davido went on a social media break after the tragic passing of his son, Ifeanyi, who drowned in a swimming pool at the singer’s residence in Lagos. He made his comeback to social media in March 2023, announcing his fourth studio project titled ‘Timeless’, which was met with widespread excitement from fans.

Nigerian digital influencer and live streamer Habeeb Hamzat, better known by his online alias Peller, has opened up about the emotional weight of carrying family responsibilities at an early age. During a heartfelt conversation with fellow TikTok personality, Sandra Benede, the 19-year-old revealed the distress he faces as the main provider for his family — despite the fact that both his parents and older siblings are alive and well. He shared that taking on the family’s financial burden has made him feel more like a parent than a teenager. For this reason, he now prefers to support them from a distance rather than physically being around them. “I don’t feel mentally okay anymore. Just recently, I ended up sleeping in my car till the next morning. I’m not even 20 yet, and I’m already facing so much pressure. It’s unfair,” Peller disclosed during the talk. He admitted that his maturity has evolved beyond the typical expectations for someone his age, stating that being around his family often leaves him emotionally drained. “I no longer enjoy seeing my family. I just make sure they are okay by sending what they need. I’ve outgrown the mindset of living under my parents’ roof. Even with an older brother, I feel like I’m the one playing the parental role.” Peller continued by expressing his fatigue and desperation for peace. He confessed that he’s even contemplated relocating to the U.S. just to disconnect and escape the overwhelming responsibility. “I work hard like a parent without rest. At times, I want to run away to the United States and disappear from the online space. I’ve thought about doing it several times, but I hold back because I don’t want them to worry. I used to miss my mother a lot when I traveled as a child. Now, I don’t feel that way about anyone in my family except for Jarvis. I talk to them on the phone, but I don’t miss them.” For deeper insights into mental health challenges faced by young adults taking on early responsibilities, visit World Health Organization – Adolescent mental health.
