A video of Burna Boy in conversation with veteran singer Timaya has gone viral, with fans focusing on VeryDarkMan's friend Kokopee, who was standing nearby.

What the video shows

The clip, which began circulating on Thursday, 5 November 2026, shows Burna Boy and Timaya running into each other at an event and chatting. Kokopee, widely known as the best friend of activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), is seen standing a short distance away with his arms folded, watching the exchange. Burna Boy appears not to acknowledge him. At one point Kokopee seemed to move towards Burna Boy, but a bouncer reportedly stepped in before he could get close.

Why it got attention

Burna Boy has reportedly supported VDM's charity projects, and the two have been seen as friendly, so many fans asked whether the singer had deliberately ignored Kokopee. The video comes during VDM's public feud with Davido, which has drawn in several other celebrities this week. Kokopee has also been mentioned in the feud.

How people reacted

Opinions were divided. Some fans said Burna Boy had clearly snubbed Kokopee, while others said the moment was being over-analysed and that the singer may simply not have noticed him in a busy event. Neither Burna Boy nor Kokopee had publicly commented at the time of writing.

Davido has drawn attention online after a video showed him praying for Zlatan Ibile and his wife at their white wedding reception in Morocco.

What happened

In footage shared on Friday, 6 November 2026, the singer is seen standing in a grand ballroom decorated with chandeliers and draped fabric, addressing the couple and their guests. Instead of giving a conventional speech, he said prayer was his priority. He began by mentioning the couple's traditional wedding, which had already taken place in Lagos, and said it had gone smoothly despite the large crowd, before praying for the newlyweds and their marriage.

Background

Zlatan, one of Nigeria's best-known rappers, held his white wedding in Morocco after a traditional ceremony in Lagos. Videos from the celebrations have been widely shared, including one of Zlatan in tears and another of Davido singing along to Zlatan's song 'Inferno'. The weddings came during a public feud between Davido and social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), who has also taken swipes at Zlatan and said this week he would be turning his attention to the rapper. Davido's aide Israel DMW has also denied claims linking the singer to VDM's past arrest.

How people reacted

Many fans praised Davido's sincerity and said the clip showed a spiritual side of him that people rarely see. Some asked why others were surprised, pointing out that he often speaks about his faith, while VDM's supporters continued to debate the feud in the comments.

Mavin Records singer Magixx has spoken about the financial realities of the music business, saying a record deal does not automatically make an artiste rich.

What he said

Speaking on an episode of a music podcast, reported on Friday, 6 November 2026, the singer said he did not start earning from music immediately after signing to Don Jazzy's label. It took about two to three months before money began to come in, he said, and during that time he struggled to pay bills and meet family responsibilities. He added that asking people for help became difficult because they assumed his record deal meant he was already wealthy, while he was also expected to keep up the image of a star, including wearing expensive designer clothes.

Building wealth

Magixx said Nigerian musicians need songs with international appeal to make serious money, and that releasing hits consistently is key to staying financially stable.

Background

Magixx signed with Mavin Records in 2021 and is known for songs such as 'Love Don't Cost a Dime'. His comments come in the same week that fellow Mavin artiste Crayon posted, and later deleted, emotional messages about the label and his friendship with Rema.

How people reacted

Fans thanked him for being honest about the pressures young artistes face, while some said his story showed why upcoming musicians should manage expectations after signing a deal.

Rapper Odumodublvck has set social media buzzing with a video of his brief encounter with Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), at the airport in Abuja.

What happened

The video, which surfaced on X and Instagram on Friday, 6 November 2026, shows the two crossing paths at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. Odumodublvck spotted Obi near what appeared to be the check-in or security area and greeted him energetically, calling him 'His Excellency' and praising him as a man who is always on the move. Obi barely slowed his stride before hurrying further into the terminal to catch his flight. The rapper later shared the moment on his own social media pages.

Background

Obi, a former Anambra State governor, came third in the 2023 presidential election and is running again in 2027 with Rabiu Kwankwaso as his running mate. He is known for travelling on commercial flights and for an image of being constantly busy. The two men are said to have had a warmer, more relaxed meeting at an airport in 2025. Odumodublvck, an Abuja-based rapper, rose to fame with the hit 'Declan Rice' and recently warned young artists that Lagos is a hard place to grow in the music industry.

How people reacted

Many social media users found the moment funny, with some joking about Obi's speed and others asking whether he had snubbed the rapper. His supporters said he was simply rushing to avoid missing his flight, while political rivals used the clip to tease him.
