DJ Arafat, a popular Ivorien entertainer died on Monday August 12, after being involved in a motorcycle accident and subsequently rushed to the hospital on Sunday August 11.
The “coupe-décalé” star died as a result of the injuries he sustained from the accident at a hospital in Abidjan. It was learnt that his motorcycle was hit by a car driven by a journalist from Radio Côte d’Ivoire. DJ Arafat was unconscious while being rushed to the hospital and sadly didn’t survive the incident.
His death has been confirmed by Nigerian superstar Davido, who penned down a tribute to him on Instagram. He wrote;
Davido has flown Lyta all the Way from Nigeria to come join him in Senegal as they prepare for the release of the remix to Lyta’s recently dropped single; “Monalisa.”
You all would recall Davido presented the former YBNL artiste with a golden opportunity last week after he volunteered to feature on the remix of the song.
The main reason why Davido has made arrangements for Lyta to come join him in Senegal where he would be performing at a concert is yet unknown, but words on the street have it that the move is as a result of giving Lyta an opportunity to shoot the video of the song with the OBO as he would not be returning to Nigeria anytime soon.
It has also been reported that Davido is willing to pay for the teenage sensation’s video as well as give him benefits in other areas.
Davido’s Blow My Mind with American Singer, Chris Brown has surpassed two million Youtube views in just 24 hours.

The world’s fashion bible, Vogue, however believe Wizkid is the undisputed hottest African popstar by almost any measure. This came after the launch of his Pop Shop in New York, United States of America.
Read their editorial below:-
This past Saturday, Wizkid currently Africa’s hottest pop star by almost any measure unveiled his new capsule collection with a takeover of Reign in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District.
Better known as a destination for hard-to-find Y-3 gear, the New York City streetwear shop was remade, floor to ceiling, in Wizkid’s image for the pop-up, complete with a glass dome emblazoned with “Starboy” (the name of the new collection, as well as Wizkid’s music imprint and longtime nickname).
From this futuristic perch, the Starboy himself performed and posed for a veritable flash mob of devotees. “For me, when I dropped my last project, I just felt it was time to do something for my fans, so they could have almost like, a piece of me,” explained Wizkid, unwinding from the impromptu concert in the shop’s secluded backyard.
“I sat down with my team, and we did a couple designs, we designed some shirts and some bandanas, and we just decided to put it up for the fans—something we intend to do like every three months, put out new collections.”
Afrobeats, a scene centered in Lagos, fuses the melodic sense of West African Highlife and Palm-wine music with a range of Black Atlantic sounds, including dancehall, Soca, and U.K. soul, to arrive at a truly Pan-African pop place. (In fact Wizkid and some other Nigerian artists describe the movement as “Afropop” and avoid the term “Afrobeats,” which was coined in the U.K. to describe the emerging sound).
Lest those new to it underestimate the street value of a piece of Wizkid—the genre’s undisputed king—the shop was jam-packed with hundreds of die-hard fans feverishly snapping pics and exuding Beatlemania-levels of nervous energy at being so close to their idol (he generally performs at arena-size venues in New York and London).
They were also ready to scream the words to every song he performed, from his international crossover “Ojuelegba” (which inspired Drake and Skepta to jump on a remix) to more recent hits like “Soco.” Though the crowd strongly represented the West African diaspora, it was sprinkled with faces from all over the world, including shoppers from Europe and Asia, who also showed interest in getting their hands on the exclusive gear.
The collection, which includes a Starboy-branded tour jacket style bomber and a Made in Lagos green and purple gradient tee, is admirably minimal, given the ubiquity of splashier West African prints and Black Panther knockoffs over the last year or two.
Interpolating Wizkid’s brand with subtle references to classic rock memorabilia and pop culture (the Made in Lagos design, for instance, has a distinct Lost in Space feel that echoes the Star Trek inspired font of the Starboy logo), resulting in pieces that pair as easily with a Bape hoodie as a Bad Brains tee.
As he tells it, the star only had two criteria for his creative team when they brainstormed the look: “One: simple and two: fresh.
It has to have a more universal appeal to it. Something you can be proud wearing not just as a Starboy fan but proud being an African,” he said.
“But I also want people around the world to be able to wear it. Even if you’re not from Lagos, it should be fashionable enough for you to just throw it on. I want people to look back and be like, Yo, I had that Wizkid T-shirt when it dropped.”
Made in Lagos is the title of his forthcoming album (currently slated to drop on October 1) and putting Lagos on the pop cultural map is very much Wizkid’s mission at the moment, even if it means coming all the way to the streetwear mecca of New York to do so.
Still, the Afropop ambassador looks quite at home in downtown Manhattan, even if Ojuelegba (the Lagos neighborhood which was home to his first studio) is an ocean away. “New York style is very, very similar to Lagos style,” he said.
“Because New York is a cosmopolitan city, you have so many different people from different parts of the world, just throwing on whatever they like, whatever they think looks good. Lagos style is the same; when you stand on the street, that is like a fashion show on its own.”
This stateside launch also hints at a larger American invasion in the works. Although he wasn’t ready to talk details, the singer did reveal he has “a little project I’ve been working on with a very big producer, here in America, something I’m very excited about.”
Initially reluctant to pinpoint the project anywhere more specific than “America,” when pressed, Wizkid ended the interview on a single tantalizing word: “Atlanta.”
For those who’ve witnessed the way Wizkid’s style has impacted global music and culture from Lagos to London, the possibility of a major confluence of trap and beats can only mean one thing: America, there’s a new Starboy in town.
As promised earlier on, DMW premieres the official music video for Davido’s new record titled “Nwa Baby” produced by Fresh VDM & Speroach
With his last appearance on Idowest‘s “Ji Masun” still gaining mainstream attention, DMW’s lead act, Davido doesn’t slow the pace as he fires up with this love inspired number titled Nwa Baby.
The video is quite an exceptional piece which showcases a lot of creativity on the side of the music video director and Davido‘s performance is top notch.
The picture quality is excellent, something like a short Hollywood flick shot by Meji Alabi.
Nigerian Artiste, Davido has been featured on Pause UK Magazine, UK. He spoke about his recent successes, his career, his journey into music and his love for Africa.
Read excerpts from the interview below:
On being recognized worldwide: Lucky for me I started when I was like 16, I’m 25 now so it’s been a while but now it’s like, everybody’s looking at Africa, everybody’s interested in whatever Africa’s doing, so it’s better now for us and easier for us to get stuff out there, they love the music too, it’s good music.
On his song that touches him the most: There’s one that I wrote, about 2 of my friends who died, that was ‘FIA.’
On his performance at Wireless: [It was] Great, they tried to cut me off and sh*t but the crowd was like f*ck that.
On getting love from home and internationally as well: To be honest, me, I’m not into this international stuff but I’m really doing it because I’m one of those people pioneering this movement. I have to put a cape on my back and do it for the culture but I always prefer being at home.

DMW act, Dremo has released the video for his song, ‘Kpa’, on which he featured his label head, Davido.
The song is one of the constituent tracks of his recently released Codename EP which contains 8 other songs.
Dremo released the EP as an introductory body of work and it seems to have had the intended impact. The rapper has been more pronounced on the music scene since the release of the project, which has raked in tens of thousands of streams on digital platforms.
“Kpa” is one of the well received tracks of the EP and its popularity is aided by the presence of Davido. It is therefore apt that the success of the song is followed by a first-rate video that projects the message of the song, which centres on how love is influenced by money.
The video was directed by Ibrahim Yilla and shot in Atlanta, Georgia.
Dremo shows versatility on the number – “Kpa” featuring Davido Off Dremo’s Codename EP (Vol 1) which houses 9 records and multiple collaborations, we make available for your listening pleasure the 4th track off the EP.
This track is titled “Kpa” which is a Nigerian modern day slang for the word Money. The Speroach produced song is a boastful one as both acts flex their spending capabilities in the lyrics to a supposed female lover.
Dremo features his label boss, Davido on this record, and trust me, this is a wonderful performance. Dremo also shows how good he is with the melodies as he sings on this one.
From the outcome of this number, Kpa, it’s obvious that the Codename EP has a lot of surprises therein.
