British-Nigerian rapper Skepta has expressed concern over what he described as growing injustice in Nigeria.

In a video broadcast, the “Bad Energy Stay Far Away” crooner called on celebrities and the international community to speak up and help draw global attention to the situation in the country.

He said Nigerians are resilient but have been dealing with injustice for a long time and need more support.

Skepta said, “There is so much injustice in Nigeria. And whenever I can whether it is at my shows, verbally or images, whatever I can do, we are going to speak up for injustice at all time.

“Nigerians need help. We need people to speak up for us as well. We need to protect Nigerians. There is so much injustice in Nigeria.

“This is my message to the people; please, I know that we are resilient and we make everything look good, but we need help, too. Please, help us,” he appealed.

Nigerian music artiste Ice Prince has responded to criticism over his performance at the 2026 All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention.

He faced backlash after appearing at the political event, with critics arguing that he should have focused on speaking out about insecurity and economic hardship in the country instead of performing at a partisan gathering.

Some social media users also accused him of supporting the ruling party by attending the convention.

Reacting during an episode of the Black Box podcast, Ice Prince explained that his decision to perform was based on a personal relationship with the APC National Chairman.

He said, “Who booked me for that event? My uncle – Nentawe Yilwatda who is the APC Chairman. He is not just a random person to me. He is my real uncle.”

He maintained that the performance was not politically motivated but purely based on family and professional connection.

Ghanaian singer Captan has claimed that his former label boss Shatta Wale once helped secure the release of Nigerian singer Burna Boy after he was allegedly arrested in Ghana for smoking weed.

Speaking during a podcast interview, Captan said Shatta Wale instructed him and others to go to the police station and help free Burna Boy from custody.

He also alleged that Shatta Wale and his team previously provided shelter for Burna Boy when he was allegedly being targeted by unknown individuals.

Captan said, “I once bailed Burna Boy out of prison in Ghana when he was arrested for smoking weed. Shatta Wale sent me and some guys to go and free him from police custody.

“There was a time we also accommodated him when some people were after his life. We helped him settle the case.”

He added that his relationship with Burna Boy has since become strained following disagreements between Burna Boy and Shatta Wale.

However, he noted that reconciliation is still possible if Burna Boy reaches out.
