Afrobeats star, Davido has made a welcome comeback to social media since the unfortunate demise of his son; Ifeanyi. Davido and Chioma in Qatar photos show they are in good spirits.
Meanwhile, the singer, songwriter, and producer who is booked to perform at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup closing ceremony on the 18th of December, surprised his fans with a fresh post on his official social media page. Davido posed with his girlfriend Chioma in a happy and exciting atmosphere. Social media activity has been nonexistent for David Adeleke in the aftermath of his beloved son’s death. Public appearance hasn’t been made too. While fans and well-wishers thirst for him they also understand he’s been dealing with a sad loss.
Below are the photos from the couple:

Although this would be the second time the lovebirds would be seen in public since the incident. First was when they stepped out to support the singer’s uncle, Ademola Adeleke, during his inauguration ceremony as Governor of Osun State, Nigeria.
Davido has undoubtedly faced trials with tribulations in his illustrious career. He has always risen up against adversities, and it’s so courageous to see him back in the public domain again.
Davido World Cup Performance for Afrobeats
Just before the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup final kickoff, Davido made history by becoming the first Nigerian to perform at the closing ceremony of this event.

Wizkid released More Love, Less Ego album through Starboy, Sony Music International, and RCA Records. That would be his fifth studio album. Wizkid’s More Love, Less Ego album was released on Nov. 11th, 2022, enough time has passed since then and a review and ratings are in order.
An album that consists of thirteen tracks with both local and international collaborations. More Love, Less Ego follows Wizkid’s critically acclaimed successful Made In Lagos album.
Wizkid’s More Love, Less Ego has achieved some success already since its release, charting in several countries’ music platforms like Apple Music and Spotify among many other DSPs. The album debuted at number 2 on the Billboard World Albums chart, the second time any of his projects will achieve that feat.
Wizkid’s More Love, Less Ego album has been wildly praised for its duality and coherent subject matter ‘More Love, Less Ego’. The album has versatile sounds ranging from Party jams, and funky tunes for ladies, as well as slow tempo, sounds to connect deeply with the listeners.
More Love, Less Ego tracklist.
Wizkid’s More Love, Less Ego boasts of features from UK-based rapper Skepta, Ayra Starr, Naira Marley, Skillibeng, Shenseea, and Don Toliver.
We dive right into the reviews and ratings of each song in this album. Akeosa is going to be reviewing and rating it from the least-rated to the highest-rated song from the More Love, Less Ego album. It is important to note that the maximum rating a song can receive is ten(10).
Money & Love
Money & Love is the first song on the tracklist but it was released as a single prior to the release of the album. More Love, Less Ego has only two released singles prior to its release. Money & Love was pretty average, one would think it would be more considering it was released as a single, a preamble before the main thing. The song didn’t really meet the hype for More Love, Less Ego which itself is a masterpiece. Money & Love earns itself a 5.0 rating.
Everyday
Everyday is song number 5 in the tracklist. The message is sound and ideal but the beat and delivery were just on par. One would think the song can resonate like ‘Ojuelegba’ because the messages are alike. Everyday couldn’t do that and we can’t rank it among Wizkid’s best songs. Its rating is 5.2 and we are been generous.
Deep
To be honest we don’t think there’s really anything deep about Deep. The title suggested more but the content was not coherent as it didn’t bring true substance to the song. The rating is 5.5 deep.
Slip N Slide (feat. Skillibeng & Shenseea)
Slip N Slide is track number 6 according to the list. It is okay, we like it but Wizkid’s standard he could’ve always done more with this record. It appeared like the bulk junk of the work was done by the featured artists. Lest I forget ladies love it and so 6.0 rating for Slip N Slide.
Plenty Loving
Plenty Loving is a beautiful song, calm and catchy you can not imagine, go listen. It is vintage like classical Wizkid and it earned itself 6.5 ratings.
Pressure
Pressure resides at number 10 on the tracklist. But it has earned a rather high position in this review. Pressure is a fantastic song and it deservedly earned its 7.0 rating.
Bad To Me
Bad To Me is that song that brings the party to life. It is evident with the viral TikTok videos circulating everywhere on social media. It is really a jam. Once it plays your body moves whether you know how to dance or not. This song was the first released single off More Love, Less Ego and it is rightly so. Bad To Me earned 7.5 ratings.
Special (feat. Don Toliver)
Special has lived up to its name. Truly special through its duality and cohesion. Two different artists with a background that varies came together to make a great record. A fine collaboration and worthy of the 7.9 rating. Special.
Wow (feat. Skepta & Naira Marley)
Wow is an emblem of the entire album More Love, Less Ego. It is simply a work of genius. A first-ever look at the way the album was rolled out. Skepta a UK-based artiste has always found a way to outshine Wizkid on a record. We do not know how he does it but the bottom line he always does. Naira Marley’s input can’t be understated on Wow as his hook was refreshing and catchy. Wow has earned itself 8.2 ratings.
Flower Pads
Flower Pads is one of the fans’ favorites and rightly so. It is such a well-produced song. The title is super creative and above a great record. Flower Pads is often jokingly considered the face of Afroknack( a rather funny and unofficial sub-genre of Afrobeats) with some fans disagreeing that there’s a song better feat for that title. Flower Pads would appreciate an 8.5 rating.
Balance
Without being told we know many fans are going to frown at this. Balance ranking above Flower Pads would always be a no for some. No review or rating would change anybody’s mind. But Balance is a gem of a song, and it deserves the positive and remarkable reviews it is getting. Balance has a rather excellent production and thus a 9.0 rating is awarded to it.
2 Sugar (feat. Ayra Starr)
Right now Ayra Starr is one of the best voices in the industry and its collaboration with Big Wiz was always going to be huge in terms of quality and acceptance. I personally believe it is the best song of the year 2022 and many would agree supported by the Apple Music live performance shortly before the album was released. 2 Sugar is a beautiful song and it deserves the 9.5 ratings awarded to it. Bravo Ayra.
Frames (Who’s Gonna Know)
This is peak music, funny how on the tracklist it was the last but many fans and media reviews have ordained it the undisputed number-one song off this album. Wizkid executed the song in the most extraordinary manner, with artistry in every sense. There’s no better rating than a 10. Frames (Who’s Gonna Know) can only be described with the best of adjectives. Pure Wizardry is one of those songs in Wizkid’s outstanding career that put him above the rest of afrobeat artists. Frames are art and should be kept in Louvré.
Asake announces 70k naira a ticket sold out Lagos concert. An event set to hold on Dec. 22nd, 2022 has seen all its tickets grabbed. A concert-themed Mr. Money With The Vibe, coincidentally his album title has EKO Convention Center as its venue. Fresh off shows from abroad, notably Birmingham, Manchester, London, etc.
Asake has announced via his Twitter account that his December show is sold out thus tickets are no longer available should fans want to secure seats at the highly anticipated end-of-the-year show.
Asake tweeted “Thank you Lagos I have a special announcement for Lagos tomorrow and a special announcement for London tonight”
Asake Twitter Post
Asake has sold out many other shows during the year but selling out a Lagos show is a worthy feat. Considering the noise about the ticket price when it was first announced and going on to sell the capacity out shows the love the people have for him.
Asake’s sold-out concert came as no surprise as many would agree he has had a rather outstanding year. Asake has indeed had an overall wonderful year and he is grateful for having his own people reaffirm this by acquiring his tickets.
