Stonebwoy can restrict my interaction with Shatta Wale only if I'm on his payroll – MC Portfolio
Entertainment pundit MC Portfolio has expressed concerns over being labeled a "traitor" by fans of dancehall musicians Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale. In an interview with Zionfelix on January 21, 2025, MC Portfolio stated that Stonebwoy has no authority to restrict his association with Shatta Wale unless he employs him. When asked by Zionfelix if he would honour an invitation from Shatta Wale, MC Portfolio explained that the “Jejereje” hitmaker could only impose restrictions if he had hired him as a full-time member of his team. “I think Stonebwoy can restrict me only if he puts me on his payroll and employs me as someone tasked with promoting the Bhim Nation agenda. But I have volunteered because that gentleman has shown me love. So, it’s not about money. I have volunteered to reciprocate the same energy. He hasn’t put me on payroll, and I don’t work for Bhim Nation,” he stated.

Wizkid and Don Jazzy completely reconcile after viral public 'feud' [Video]
Nigerian musician, Ayodeji Balogun, known best as Wizkid, and record label executive, Michael Collins Ajereh, known better as Don Jazzy, have confirmed that they have fully buried the hatchet. This has been confirmed from a recent video which shows both of them together. They were warm to each other and hugged. Their disposition towards each other, from the video, signals that there is no more bad blood between them. Recall that the presumed "beef" between the duo started when the 'Dance (Kese)' crooner took to his X account to engage his fans and his attention was drawn to a post where Ladipoe said Afrobeats is going through its "Afrobeats is dead" phase after Hip Hop survived the "Hip hop is dead" narrative which Wizkid contributed to. Wizkid replied that he's never chatting to any artist signed by an influencer which many believe is a statement that attempted to mock the Mavin Record's label boss Don Jazzy as an influencer.

Afghan TV station reopens after closure by Taliban authorities
Seals placed on Arezo TV's doors in Kabul were removed in the presence of the country's Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (PVPV), said station head Bassir Abid, who reported that the outlet had "resumed our operations". Taliban authorities shut down the TV station on December 4 after the PVPV accused the channel of being supported by exiled media and of betraying Islamic values. Seven of Arezo TV's employees were arrested but released later in December, while the media outlet remained shuttered. The Taliban government has not yet indicated the reason the station was allowed to reopen. The Afghanistan Journalists Center (AFJC), a press freedom group, welcomed the reopening but said in a statement it considered the closure "a flagrant violation of free media rights that should not have happened".
