Kizz Daniel’s “Twe Twe” remix reaches No. 1 on Apple Music’s Top 100 Songs, surpassing Chike’s “Egwu.”
In what appears to be a reaffirmation of his title as a serial hitmaker in the Nigerian music scene, Nigerian Afrobeat gem Kizz Daniel has again crested his name in the book of records as his most recent released single, “Twe Twe,” remix featuring Afrobeat icon David Adedeji Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, hits the number one spot on Apple Music’s Top 100 Songs.
Kizz Daniel’s shared feat with Davido comes amidst mixed reactions on the internet over Davido’s verse on the hit single, which several loyal 30BG Gangs (Davido’s fans) have continued to applaud alongside the music icon’s prowess. In a pool of contrary opinions, music critics and trolls have argued that the DMW Boss’ verse on Kizz Daniel’s “Twe Twe” remix only presents him as mediocre given the lack of substance and relatable and meaningful lyrics in the verse.
Recall that popular social media critic and celebrity tormentor Daniel Regha had previously analyzed the singular controversial verse while rating it a 1/10. Regha, via a post on X, wrote:
“Twe Twe by Kizz Daniel is a terrible song, but Davido’s verse on the remix is worse. He did a bunch of pointless rhymes, like complimenting a lady’s body by calling it a natural disaster (your body looking like a tsunami) or another awful line, “Make a man go keke na pepe.” Lyrically speaking, the song is below mud. It’s a 1/10, thanks to the beats. No offense.”
In spite of the continued progression of these arguments, the “Twe Twe” remix is rather breaking records and attaining both singers another relevant spot in the Nigerian entertainment industry and, by extension, the global music sphere, even as it has overtaken Chike’s hit single, “Egwu,” featuring Mohbad, which had been on the number one spot on Apple Music’s Top 100 Songs for weeks.
The latest releases from other Nigerian artists such as Wizkid, Seyi Vibez, Shallipopi, Odumodublvck, Asake, Omah Lay, and Burna Boy, among others, remain in the Top 10 spots.
It may not be totally out of place to say that these controversies have rather contributed to the rapid success of the hit single, which made it to the highly glorified Apple Music number one spot within 62 hours of its’ official release.
Prior to the release of the remix, the original version of the song “Twe Twe” by Kizz Daniel was also faring well and topping several Nigerian music charts with impressive numbers, having amassed over a combined forty million streams on both Boomplay and Audiomack, amongst other streaming digital platforms.
The original version of “Twe Twe” was released on December 12, 2023, in commemoration of Kizz Daniel’s remarkable 10-year journey in the music industry. The chart-topping single was released almost concurrently with Kizz Daniel’s “Too Busy to Be Bae, another heartwarming afrobeat sound that has caught the interest of Kizz Daniel’s fanbase and several other members of the general global music audience.
Kizz, since his breakout in the music industry in 2014, seems to have carved a niche for himself while discovering what may be described as his secret pathway into the hearts of music lovers across the globe. It is only natural for him to deploy this strategy with every new release, making it go viral and loved by music lovers across borders. We do think that Kizz’s secret path to making his every release a hit song lies in his musical dexterity and an ability to easily adapt to new trends while still maintaining considerable pieces of originality. You might hold a contrary opinion. We wish to know.
Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has questioned the authenticity of an interim order issued by the Lagos State High Court on 2 September 2026, restraining her from publishing photographs of Priscilla Ojo’s one-year-old son, Rakeem Mkambala, and from posting editorials concerning the family on specified social media platforms.
Anjorin raised the issue during an Instagram Live session on Friday, 4 September, after Priscilla shared a copy of the court order online.
The actress argued that publicising court documents before formally serving the respondent undermines the case.
“Your case na dead on arrival. If you post court letter on any platform before serving person wey you wan go serve, that court case na fake court case,” Anjorin said during the live session.
Her comments came shortly after the High Court of Lagos State granted an ex parte application brought by Priscilla, her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Mussa Mkambala, and their son, Rakeem.
Justice Yetunde Adesanya issued the interim order in Suit No. LD/ADR/6646/2026.
The order restrains Anjorin, as well as people acting under her authority, from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of Rakeem on specified social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok.
The court also directed Anjorin to cease publishing or broadcasting editorials concerning the applicants on the platforms covered by the order.
An ex parte order is made at an interim stage without the respondent being heard. The order is therefore not a final determination of the dispute and remains subject to further proceedings.
Priscilla shared the certified copy of the order on her Instagram Story on Friday, bringing the legal development into public view.
Anjorin’s reaction centres on the timing and manner in which the court documents were publicised. Her assertion that such publication makes a case “fake” is her own claim and is not a finding contained in the court order.
The development marks another chapter in the prolonged public dispute between Anjorin and Priscilla’s family, particularly Priscilla’s mother, actress Iyabo Ojo.
The disagreement has played out largely on social media and has previously resulted in legal action, including a ₦1 billion defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Anjorin.
In recent weeks, the dispute has also drawn Priscilla and her young son into the controversy, following public comments by Anjorin concerning the family.
Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.
“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.
The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.
Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.
His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.
Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.
However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
