Veteran Fuji musician Abdul Azeez Oladeji, popularly known as Love Azeez, has been laid to rest in Ojodu-Berger, Lagos State, following his death at the age of 81.

The respected singer reportedly passed away on Wednesday evening at his residence in Lagos after a brief illness.

His death was confirmed by the General Secretary of the Fuji Musicians Association of Nigeria, Adekunle Abiodun, in a Facebook post.

Family members, friends, colleagues, fans, and other well-wishers gathered on Thursday to pay their final respects as he was buried according to Islamic rites.

In his tribute, Abiodun prayed for the late musician, saying, “May the Almighty Allah grant him eternal rest, console his family, friends, fans, professional colleagues, and well-wishers to bear the irreparable loss.”

Among those present at the burial were Tony Okoroji and Fuji star Musibau Alani, who currently serves as Vice President of FUMAN. They joined other Fuji artistes and association members in honouring the late music icon.

Love Azeez was a respected figure in Nigeria’s music industry. He served as President of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria in 1989 and later became head of the Copyright Society of Nigeria.

Widely regarded as one of the pioneers of Fuji music, he played a major role in the growth and development of the genre, which gained popularity in Lagos during the 1960s through the efforts of Fuji legend Ayinde Barrister.

Throughout his decades-long career, Love Azeez remained influential in the Fuji music scene and earned admiration from lovers of traditional Yoruba music.

He was known for his authentic Fuji style and unique vocal delivery, with popular songs including “Ijapari,” “Barrister & Kollington’s Fight,” and “Alarape.”

In a past interview, the late singer revealed that his music journey began in Agege, Lagos, where he performed Wéré music before later transitioning into Fuji, a move that helped build his lasting legacy in Nigerian music.

Nigerian actress and politician, Tonto Dikeh, has continued to attract attention following her public declaration of a deeper commitment to Christianity.

The former actress, who revealed in February that she completed a discipleship programme at Pastor Jerry Eze’s church, Streams of Joy International, has once again reaffirmed her spiritual transformation.

In a video shared on her Instagram page, the 40-year-old spoke about a “spiritual rebirth” that she says has changed her outlook on life, faith, and service.

She also displayed her discipleship certificate, describing the experience as a turning point in her journey.

Weeks after her announcement, she reportedly carried out what she described as her first deliverance encounter, where she claimed to have intervened in a situation involving a schoolgirl.

Tonto Dikeh said the experience was a sign of the ministry she believes God has placed on her life, stating:

“I Was Saved From The Sea World So That I May Serve As A Tool In His Hands To Save Others.”

She has since continued to share faith-based messages online, urging her followers to remain connected to God.

She wrote: “In The Same Way, When We Stay Connected To The Source (Jesus Christ), Our Lives Become Fruitful.”

She also referenced Bible passages, including John 15:5 and James 4:8, emphasizing that faith should extend beyond church walls into daily life.

According to her, a genuine relationship with God requires consistency, not occasional emotional experiences, as she continues her public gospel-focused journey.

Nigerian singer, Mr Real, has reacted after fellow artiste, Idowest, claimed ownership of the popular street anthem, “Legbegbe.”

The song, released in 2018 by Mr Real featuring Idowest, became one of the biggest hits that pushed the Shaku Shaku movement across Nigeria.

The dispute started after Idowest, during a livestream with streamer Carter Efe, claimed he originally composed the full song and only featured Mr Real as a “boy from the hood.”

He also alleged that Mr Real had been wrongly claiming ownership of the track.

Reacting in a video broadcast, Mr Real strongly dismissed the claim, insisting that he is the rightful owner of the song and accused Idowest of lying during the interview.

He Said: “Idowest, I Heard Everything You Said At Carter Efe’s Live. You Said You Will Beat Me In A Match. I Am Your Senior Brother And I Will Beat You.

“I Heard You Were Deported From America. Instead Of You To Promote Your Music, You Are Downgrading Me And Claiming My Song, ‘Legbegbe.’ I Won’t Even Waste My Precious Time On You.”

Mr Real also accepted Idowest’s challenge to a public fight, escalating the tension between both artistes as fans react to the ongoing dispute.
