Among other scandals that rocked social media in Nigeria in 2015, fans of popular singer, Timaya, had something to worry about when their idol was accused of rape by a relatively unknown woman resident in the United States of America.
The woman claimed, in a series of messages posted on Instagram , the singer had sex with her without her consent.
Although Timaya denied that he forced himself on the woman, she went on to produce a medical report to prove her point.
She also shared a screenshot of the report on Instagram, which also showed the date that the alleged offence was committed.
Toyin Aimakhu and husband
Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimakhu reportedly packed out of her matrimonial home after accusing her husband, Adeniyi Johnson, of infidelity.
The award winning Yoruba actress was rumoured to have sued for divorce when she found out that her husband was making advances at one of her female staff.
The worker in question allegedly confessed to Toyin that had been asking her out for some time.
Not satisfied with the lady’s explanation, the actress went on to fire her.
But Niyi openly confessed his role in the alleged scandal on Instagram , admitting that his wife’s claims were true. Pleading with his wife to give him another chance, he promised to make up for his actions.
Skales versus Wizkid
Two of Nigeria’s most popular young artistes, Skales and Wizkid, were at loggerheads with each other for a while.
Both of them engaged in a bitter altercation on social media that saw them using unprintable words against one another.
It started when Skales accused Wizkid of stealing his idea for a particular beat. He also claimed to be the writer one of Wizkid’s hit songs.
But Wizkid denied it, claiming that he paid for the “Azonto beat” even as Skales insisted that he created it.
Then the award-winning artiste, who was now embarrassed, went on to tweet, “The dude wearing fake chains and begging for money. I’ll help finish your dead career!…Even when the label wanted to dump you because you didn’t make one naira for three years, I was there for you.”
Deevee and Olamide
A music producer, Divine Austins, aka Deevee, who is also the official producer of D’banj, took to Twitter towards the end of the year to accuse popular rapper, Olamide, of stealing ideas for new songs from his boss.
In three tweets, Deevee claimed that Olamide had been stealing concepts from D’banj’s recording outlet, DB Records, each time he visited the place in the past.
Addressing Olamide directly, he said, “With due respect, have you run out of ideas? Every time you come to our zones, you always got to steal some idea. I won’t let this fly.”
The producer went on to provide a link to ‘Shake it’, a song by D’banj, which was one of the reasons for the outburst on the social media network.
The other song believed to have been lifted off an original idea by D’banj and his team was Olamide’s ‘Don’t Stop’.
Olamide, who was named the Hottest Nigerian Artiste in 2015 by MTV Base at the time, did not respond to the allegations.
