COZA vs Davido, Tiwa, Wizkid: Nigerians bash Fatoyinbo

Published

on

Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) and its Senior Pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo are yet to issue an apology or a public statement several hours after Davido, Wizkid, and Tiwa Savage accused the church of fraudulently using their images to promote the church event.

DMW boss, Davido was the first to issue a disclaimer via its twitter and Instagram page after Fatoyinbo shared a video, portraying the singer advertising an event which was billed to take place in the church.

“I’m writing to quickly disclaim the viral videos going around of me advertising COZA event to come up when I have to say I have NOTHING to do with the church!!!

The fact that I did a quick video for a kid introduced as a fan just for her personal use and it was chopped up and used for an advert extremely disappoints me!!! I have never and most certainly not associated in any way with COZA church and have reached out to those responsible for this madness immediately!! I will most certainly be proceeding further if you do not retract that video immediately!!! A word is enough!!!.”

While Nigerians were trying to verify the authenticity of Davido’s claim of being manipulated, Tiwa Savage and Wizkid also cried out. With Tiwa threatening to sue, Wizkid lashed out at the church without mercy.

However, the continued silence of the church has stirred more reactions on social media, with many claiming the church and its founder must have a problem with “consent”

JJ Omojuwa wrote, “It’d be interesting to await a robust response from the COZA CEO on this. One is a mistake, three does show a behavioural issue with consent.

“Davido, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage all went to Abuja for a day, maybe two and then allegedly had their voices used for videos with intentions they didn’t consent to. I’d be shocked if I didn’t know better. COZA should organise a “12 Days of CONSENT” revival programme.”

“COZA really outsmarted and stunted on the 3 biggest celebrities in Nigeria, Davido, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage wow,” Dehkunle wrote on Twitter.

Favour wrote: “COZA, ask for consent first or die”

“So Davido denied, and didn’t give consent to COZA again. Why is Biodun Fatoyinbo always having problem with getting Consent?”@Tboywonder said.

Timi Dakolo, the husband of Busola who accused Fatoyinbo of rape, wrote on Twitter: Strolling pass tweeter street, Very busy on this Lord’s day. Who vex una today?!

As at 7:40 pm on Thursday, there are over 40,000 comments on the latest COZA Saga.

The videos have been deleted on Fatoyinbo’s Instagram page, but Nigerians are awaiting a response from the Church and Mr Fatoyinbo.

FROM ENTRIES TO SPOTLIGHT: THE SOUNDOUT LIVE EDITION 2 JOURNEY

Published

on

What began as an open call for emerging musical talent in Delta State has evolved into a competition that is now entering one of its most decisive stages. SOUNDOUT LIVE Edition 2 has moved from its initial launch, through the release of its official competition beat and the submission of entries, to the current voting phase, bringing participating artists closer to opportunities for recognition, exposure and career development.

Organised through a collaboration between SOUNDOUTTV and COBYL CITY LTD, the second edition was created to provide emerging artists with a platform to put their creativity and performance ability before a wider audience. With a prize package valued at over ₦900,000, the competition was positioned from the outset as more than a search for a winning performance; it was an opportunity for participating artists to gain exposure and access to professional development opportunities.
The journey took its first major creative turn on 1 August 2026 with the release of the official SOUNDOUT LIVE Edition 2 competition beat. Produced by Berry IV for COBYL CITY LTD, the beat became the common musical foundation for contestants, giving each participating artist the same starting point while leaving room for individual interpretation, delivery and creativity.

With the beat released, the competition moved from anticipation to participation. Artists were required to build their entries around the official instrumental, recording either a freestyle or an original song and presenting their performances according to the competition’s submission guidelines.

Entries were shared on social media while tagging SOUNDOUTTV and were also submitted through the designated official channel, giving contestants their first opportunity to place their work before the competition’s audience.
The initial submission deadline was set for 14 August 2026, but the submission window was subsequently extended to 18 August, allowing the competition to accommodate the continued flow of entries before moving into its next phase.
With the extended submission period concluded, SOUNDOUT LIVE Edition 2 has now progressed into its current voting stage, shifting the focus from entry submissions to audience participation.

Voting is being conducted through the official SOUNDOUT LIVE voting platform. Each individual voter may cast a maximum of 33 votes for a single contestant, while contestants may receive an unlimited total number of votes provided they come from different supporters and comply with the competition rule.

The current stage gives the audience an active role in the competition. Beyond watching the performances, supporters now have the opportunity to stand behind their preferred contestants and contribute to the momentum of their journey as the competition progresses. For the contestants, it is another opportunity to turn the work they have already put forward into meaningful audience engagement.
The entries are in, the performances have been heard, and the competition has reached the stage where the audience gets to have its say.

Whose performance caught your attention? Which contestant left an impression? Now is the time to stand behind the artist you believe deserves your support. Visit the official SOUNDOUT LIVE voting platform, cast your votes and make your voice count. The talent has taken the stage; now, let the fans decide.

Focox AT Officially Signs with Lucky Lisiano Records in Landmark Deal That Redefines Artist Empowerment

Published

on

In a move that is already sending shockwaves through the Afrobeats and global music communities, rising force Focox AT has officially signed with Lucky Lisiano Records (LLR). The contract is being widely described as one of the most artist-favorable deals ever put on paper — a rare, heavily enriched agreement that prioritizes the artist’s long-term ownership, creative control, and financial upside in ways rarely seen in modern label partnerships.

Based in Warri, Nigeria, Focox AT brings a distinctive sound and unfiltered energy that has been building momentum across the continent. Lucky Lisiano Records, headquartered in the United States, recognized the unique opportunity and moved decisively. The resulting partnership is being called “promising and unique” by both camps — a genuine bridge between Warri’s raw creative fire and LLR’s international infrastructure.

Under the new agreement, Focox AT will begin the partnership with two singles, followed by a full EP scheduled for release in the new year. Both artist and label have expressed strong excitement about the road ahead, describing the union as a true meeting of vision rather than a standard transactional signing.

There has also been growing talk of Lucky Lisiano Records establishing a physical headquarters in Nigeria, though no official timeline has been confirmed. Industry observers note that such a move would mark a significant expansion for the U.S.-based label and further solidify its commitment to African talent. With the first single expected August 14th 2026 and the EP locked in for mid 2027, both sides are already looking ahead. The consensus is clear: this partnership is built for impact. 2027 is shaping up to be a year of serious momentum.
