Do2dtun slams Soundcity over eight months of unpaid salaries
Do2dtun accuses Soundcity Radio of owing staff eight months’ salaries, sparking social media outrage over unfair labour practices.
Popular On-Air Personality (OAP) Do2dtun has criticised Soundcity Radio for allegedly failing to pay its staff salaries for eight consecutive months.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Do2dtun described the station’s actions as “cruel and inhumane,” calling for better treatment of employees in the media industry.
In a series of tweets, Do2dtun expressed dismay at the station’s management practices, questioning their commitment to staff welfare.
“It’s not by force to open a radio station. Owing your staff for eight months is very cruel and inhumane. You don’t need a soothsayer to tell you this,” he wrote.
The OAP revealed the station’s name in another tweet, empathising with colleagues at Soundcity and questioning how they have managed to survive under such harsh conditions.
“My friends and colleagues at Soundcity, how do you guys cope? No salary for 8 months? Mehn, that’s crãzy!!!!”
The allegations have ignited widespread discussions on social media. Many users shared their thoughts, with some linking the salary delays to the departure of notable personalities like Moet Abebe and VJ Adams.
Social Media Reactions
- Miztope_tea: “No wonder Moet Abebe and VJ Adams left.”
- Tomide Akinnni Bosun: “The way those companies and stations are owing people in salaries these days is so alarming.”
- Whitney Tochi: “And you will see the owners spending money lavishly, this kind thing can pain oh.”
- Amanda Chisom: “No wonder it stopped working.”
- Gcw: “Only Do2dtun don see shege for Nigerians hand.”
The issue highlights a growing concern over unfair labour practices in the media industry, where employees often face delays in salary payments despite their contributions to organisational success.
Do2dtun, who has been vocal about industry challenges, also called on media organisations to prioritise employee welfare, stressing that operating a business should not come at the expense of workers’ livelihoods.
The accusations have yet to receive a public response from Soundcity Radio at the time of this report.

The incident unfolded after Odunlade playfully teased Ashabi on a movie set, asking whether she had taken Portable’s permission before hugging him.

Reacting to Portable’s concerns, Odunlade clarified that his comments were not intended to make fun of the singer or his family. In a respectful response, he reassured Portable of his admiration and good intentions.
“My brother, good evening. I’m just seeing this. I love you, and I think you know that. I can never disrespect you or your home. Your family is my family,” Odunlade wrote.

Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta claims Davido’s wealth and influence surpass his billionaire father Adedeji Adeleke, emphasising age is just a number
Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has sparked debate by asserting that Nigerian singer Davido surpasses his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke, in both wealth and influence.
The actor made this bold claim while addressing young people about respecting authority figures, regardless of their age.
Chatta shared his perspective during a recent discussion, where he highlighted the importance of achievements over age. Drawing parallels with historical figures, he stated, “Alexander the Great started ruling at 20 and died at 33.
Despite his young age, his accomplishments were unmatched by many older leaders like Julius Caesar and Adolf Hitler.”
The actor argued that age is merely a number and that true respect should be based on accomplishments. He described Davido as an “elder” in his own right, citing the singer’s fame, fortune, and influence.
According to Chatta, the level of adoration Davido commands surpasses even that of his billionaire father.
“God purposely placed certain people in positions of authority, and it’s not about age. Any younger person possessing things typically associated with elders is an elder,” he explained.
The Nollywood star also reflected on his personal encounter with the singer. “I was amazed at the sheer number of people willing to do anything to get close to Davido. His presence commands a unique form of respect and loyalty.”
Chatta concluded by comparing the recognition Davido receives to that of his father. “If Davido’s father were to pass by, most people might not recognise him. But if Davido were to walk through, it could cause a stampede. His level of influence is extraordinary.”
Joeboy defends his music after being called “mid,” saying critics are unhappy with their own lives. He remains confident in his success
Nigerian artist Joseph Akinwale Akinfenwa-Donus, better known as Joeboy, has hit back at critics who have labelled his music as “mid.”
The 26-year-old singer, who has garnered significant success in his career, shared his thoughts in a recent appearance on the ‘Backstage Banter’ podcast.
Joeboy, known for hits like “Baby” and “Alcohol,” addressed the growing social media criticisms, with many accusing his sound of being unremarkable.
Despite these comments, Joeboy firmly disagreed with the assessment, stating that there is nothing “mid” about him or his work.
“There is nothing ‘mid’ about my existence,” Joeboy asserted. “The fact that I have been able to get so far at such a young age in my career and still have my head on my shoulders is not ‘mid’ in any way.”
He went on to suggest that the people behind the criticisms were likely unhappy with their own lives. Joeboy explained,
“If you’re genuinely happy with your life, you would not pick up your phone and start attacking somebody. What exactly is ‘mid’? I think it was just a word that got too popular, and people just started using it.”
The singer’s remarks shed light on the toxic culture of online criticism that has become prevalent in the music industry and beyond.
Joeboy’s response demonstrates his confidence and resilience, highlighting that his achievements speak for themselves.
His words also sparked discussions among fans and critics alike, with many agreeing that the use of the term “mid” has become an overused way of expressing dissatisfaction.
Joeboy’s ability to stay grounded amidst the negativity serves as a testament to his professionalism and focus on his craft.
