Nigerian music fans can rejoice as Afrobeats star Davido and rapper Odumodublvck appear to have quashed their public beef. The artists fell out weeks ago after Odumodublvck interacted with Davido’s longtime rival Wizkid on social media during their feud, which led Davido to believe he had chosen a side. This caused a stir, with Davido even threatening to cut ties with the rapper.

However, a recent video circulating online shows a more positive turn of events. The clip features the duo seemingly reconciled, chatting and laughing together outside of Nigeria. Odumodublvck is seen animatedly gesturing while Davido listens attentively. This friendly exchange has fans speculating that the drama is over and the two artists are back on good terms.

Nigerian track star Tobi Amusan has cemented her place as the world’s dominant hurdler, clocking a blistering 12.40 seconds at the Jamaica Athletics Invitational. This phenomenal feat not only secured her victory in the race but also shattered the previous world-leading time of 12.42 seconds set by American Tonea Marshall in April. The race was a nail-biter, with Amusan trailing behind Jamaican reigning world champion Danielle Williams and America’s Nia Ali in the early stages. However, true to her form, Amusan unleashed her exceptional speed in the final stretch, surging past her competitors to claim a decisive win.

This triumph comes just two months before the highly anticipated Paris 2024 Olympics, sending a clear message to the competition. Amusan’s performance has ignited excitement within the Nigerian sporting community, with Sports Minister John Enoh taking to social media to shower her with praise. This latest achievement adds another chapter to Amusan’s illustrious career.
