About 2Baba
2Baba is widely regarded as one of Africa’s most celebrated music icons. With a career spanning more than two decades, he has produced numerous hit songs and award-winning albums, playing a significant role in the rise of Nigerian music on the global stage while also contributing to philanthropy and social causes across Africa.
Popular Nollywood actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has opened up about the impact her public support for President Bola Ahmed7 Tinubu had on her career, admitting that the political stance brought unexpected consequences.
The actress made the revelation in a recent conversation with fellow Nollywood star Timini Egbuson while offering advice on how actors can improve the box-office performance of their movies.
In a video that has since circulated widely on social media, Abraham cautioned Egbuson against publicly supporting political figures, stressing that celebrities should remain neutral to avoid alienating audiences.
“The first advice I will give you in my entire life is don’t put your mouth in politics. Don’t tell them you’re supporting anybody. Don’t support anybody, just be on your own. Be neutral,” she said.
When reminded that she had openly supported Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election, the actress responded, “That was then,” before adding in a dramatic reaction that the decision had indeed affected her work.
Her comments appear to reference the intense criticism and backlash she faced online after declaring support for the current president during the election period.
The video also showed Abraham sharing candid reflections about her experience, suggesting that public figures in the entertainment industry should focus more on their craft and avoid political endorsements that could divide their fan base.
The clip was later shared online by Egbuson, who jokingly wrote that he and his colleague had visited Abraham to “collect orientation” on how to succeed at the box office.
The remarks have since sparked conversations on social media about the relationship between politics and celebrity influence in Nigeria.
Popular Nigerian comedian and skit maker Broda Shaggi has reportedly been hospitalised after sustaining a gunshot injury during a filming session in the Sango-Ota area of Ogun State.
According to multiple reports circulating on X and other platforms, the entertainer, whose real name is Samuel Animashaun Perry, was allegedly shot while filming a comedy skit under the Sango-Ota bridge with members of his production crew.
Sources said the content creator sustained a gunshot wound to the thigh and was immediately rushed by his team to a medical facility in the Alakuko area of Lagos for emergency treatment.
He was later transferred to a private hospital in Ikeja, Lagos, where he is reportedly receiving further medical care and recuperating.
However, the circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear as authorities continue to investigate the claim. The Ogun State Police Command said it could not yet confirm that the shooting occurred within its jurisdiction, noting that no official report of such an incident had been filed at any police formation in the state.
Police spokesperson Oluseyi Babaseyi urged members of the public to avoid spreading unverified information while investigations are ongoing.
Meanwhile, the comedian and his management team have not issued an official statement regarding the alleged shooting as of the time of filing this report.
