In other news, Nigerian Afropop artist Chike Ezekpeazu Osebuka, better known as Chike, has given N1 million to a troll who criticized him for purportedly obtaining popularity from the late rapper Mohbad.

This gesture follows the publication of Chike’s smash single “Egwu,” a duet with Mohbad before his sad death.

The song immediately rose up the charts, becoming a significant success across several streaming platforms. Despite the success, several social media users accused Chike of using Mohbad’s name for personal benefit.

The criticism escalated after Chike posted a video of his new song on X (previously Twitter), prompting a specific troll, @hate_ofx, to say, “Mohbad made you.”

In an unexpected move, Chike chose to transform the criticism into a constructive deed. By giving N1 million to the troll.
