<h1>Following Daddy Freeze’s apology to Bishop David Oyedepo, Leke Adeboye, a son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has asked the broadcaster to apologise to his parents too.&nbsp;</h1>

<p>Leke made the comment on Sunday, September 13, 2020, on his Instagram page.</p>

<p>On Saturday, September 12, 2020, Daddy Freeze had in a video <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/daddy-freeze-apologises-to-oyedepo-for-calling-him-a-bald-headed-fowl/6get6g3">tendered an unreserved apology to Oyedepo</a> for calling him a bald-headed fowl in a video he published 19 months ago.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The broadcaster said he didn’t intend to dishonour Oyedepo in the video.</p>

<p>However, some of the broadcaster’s take on Christianity have been deemed controversial as many Nigerians believe he attacks men of God including the General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor Adeboye in his videos.</p>

<p>Reacting to Daddy Freeze’s apology, Leke said he expected the broadcaster to extend his apology to his parents.</p>

<h1>Nigerian Broadcaster, Ifedayo Olarinde, better known as Daddy Freeze has apologised to the founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo for calling him a bald-headed fowl in a video he released 19 months ago.</h1>

<p>Known for propagating controversial Christian doctrines, <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/daddy-freeze-says-he-is-raising-his-daughters-to-see-themselves-as-equals-to-men/rr9kyjj">Daddy Freeze,</a> who is the Convener of the&nbsp;<em>Free the Sheeple Movement</em>&nbsp;and Leader of the Free Nation in Christ had come under fire for verbally attacking Oyedepo in the video.</p>

<p>But the broadcaster in a video he released on Saturday, September 12, 2020, said his attention was recently called to the video, saying he didn’t intend to dishonour the cleric.</p>

<p>He said, “<em>My attention has been drawn to a video I released circa two years, seven months ago while addressing some pertinent issues that arose back then. I apologise for the delivery of my message and for any insult to Bishop David Oyedepo in that video as I didn’t in any way intend to dishonour, disrespect or disregard the person of the bishop.</em></p>

<p><em>“The perceived intention to the contrary is regretted. My methods of addressing doctrinal issues have long since devolved to a more scriptural and less confrontational approach. I was and still am very passionate in my quest to address what I believe are unresolved doctrinal issues, however, from a more amiable perspective.”</em></p>

<p>He, however, urged Christians to be open to adopting theological frames of reference for the Christian faith to thrive.</p>

<h1>First and foremost, a biracial person is someone who has parents of two different races.</h1>

<p>Having said that, it is common to find people a lot of biracial people around which has kind of made it very easy to identify them, especially when one race is from the western world.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One thing that is very similar to biracial people is the fact that they take the front seats when it comes to stunning looks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Over here in Nigeria, some of your favourite celebrities belong to this category. Stardom for these guys didn't come because of their skin colour rather it was as a result of their hard work.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ramsey Nouah needs no introduction as he is the golden 'baby boy' of Nollywood. From the moment the actor made his debut in the 1990s popular TV series '<strong>Fortunes</strong>' it was obvious a movie star was born. Since then there has been no stopping or holding back for Nouah.</p>

<p>If Adunni Ade is called one of the prettiest women in Nigeria, we don't think anyone would argue about it. The gorgeous and talented actress was born in <strong>Queens</strong>, <strong>New York</strong>, United States to a <strong>German American </strong>mother and a Yoruba Nigerian father.</p>

<p>She, however, grew up in Nigeria and the United States of America respectively. After a stint in the corporate world in the United States, Ade moved back to Nigeria where she joined the bubbling Nollywood industry.</p>

<p>Ibinabo Fiberesima is unarguably one of the most popular beauty queens to have emerged from Nigeria. The light-skinned, tall and beautiful lady was the toast of all the major beauty pageantries in the 1990s.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She won some, came second in others but one thing that she took away from all of these was a brand and name that would last her for a lifetime.</p>

She is also a former President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria. [Instagram/IbinaboFiberesima]

<p>A twin, Edewor was born to British dad, <strong>Hugh Thorley</strong>, and a Nigerian mum, <strong>Juliana Edewor</strong>. She had her education in Nigeria and the United Kingdom. It would surprise many that Edewor didn't actually start her career as a presenter but as a model.</p>

<p>'<em>'Let’s cleanse our social media of these kinds of people like @dannyyung01 My son is 5 years old how can these thoughts even cross the mind of an adult?" </em>Daddy Freeze wrote.</p>

<p><em>A child of this age should not be sexualized either male or female. I’m so angry 😤 😡 Please let’s find this pedophile, expose him, it’s way too risky to have people like these roaming free. Thank you.."</em></p>

<p>On Thursday, March 5, 2020, Daddy Freeze took to his Instagram page to announce that the young man had been arrested.</p>

<p><em>"Thank you, everyone, he has been apprehended and is currently being interrogated by the police. He works with a popular security firm who will be making an announcement latest tomorrow, regarding this incident,"</em> he wrote.</p>

<p>Freeze has five kids; four with his first wife Opeyemi Olarinde and two with his current partner .</p>

<p>Due to this power, they took advantage of artist’s need to '﻿blow' and exploited their position for moneymaking. Artists and especially, record labels – because music is a capitalist venture - started paying for unfair promotional overkill across turntables, radio and parties.﻿﻿</p>

<p>‘Payola’ was born. While it has since become a grey area with the emergence of the internet and the need of certain websites – like we have in Nigeria to make money, payola is still a reality Nigerian radio, but not as much with DJs anymore. Over the past few years,﻿ <strong>Pulse </strong>has discussed the issue <a id="1dd21d1c-c02f-41d4-8a31-2b60526a380f" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/payola-7-things-you-need-to-know-about-this-dark-music-industry-secret/f8ppy8d">payola in Nigeria.</a> </p>

<p>A few days ago, UK-based Nigerian music critic, <strong>Tola Sarumi </strong>wrote on her <strong>Twitter </strong>page @<strong>AfroVII </strong>that, “<strong><em>Freeze</em></strong><em> was charging mandem over </em><strong><em>100k</em></strong><em> to play their music. Lol. And radio is rigged. They play only ten songs in rotation so up and coming acts are screwed from the get go. Kai</em>.”</p>

<p>It sparked outrage and that has led Freeze to actually respond to those claims - he has not bit his tongue. In fact, he has spoken of his justification to charge fees for his time and he also discussed the rationale behind such.</p>

<p>On April 8, 2019, OAP and self-appointed activist, <strong>Daddy Freeze </strong>had a conversation with rap legend, producer and all-round industry veteran, <strong>eLDee the Don</strong> on payola. The conversation was posted on his <strong>YouTube </strong>channel, <strong>Daddy Freeze. </strong>Eldee participated via a live video conversation. </p>

<p>The ‘<em>Convener of the free the ‘sheeple’ movement</em>’ made the decision to do this because he felt it time to address certain issues around the infamous issue of payola that binds radio and music in extra-musical factors of unfair advantage and exploitation of position – at least, that’s what it seems.</p>

<p>In his words, and from the opening minutes of the conversation, Daddy Freeze’s stance was clear. He said, “<em>An artist has no problem paying </em><strong><em>Instablog </em></strong><em>or </em><strong><em>Linda Ikeji’s Blog </em></strong><em>or </em><strong><em>Tunde Ednut </em></strong><em>or any other blogger to promote their music, but they have a problem getting a presenter to promote their music.</em>”</p>

<p>He further explains how radio presenters have their “<em>logs</em>” before they go on-air and they can only “<em>legally influence</em>” the log when certain situations demand certain types of music be played. He states that while he never has a problem with the music department, he has to use music to boost the ratings of his show. For that, he only plays “<em>popping songs</em>.”</p>

<p>He then breaks the problem down into two issues.</p>

<h3>Problem one: ‘I will not play a whack song…’</h3>

<p>The infamous critic of the Nigerian religious circles, however, states that, “<em>I will not play a whack song on my show because the artist is up-and-coming. If your song is not nice, even it’s on my log, I will not pay it</em>.”</p>

<p>As the chat progresses, the 23-year veteran then uses the angle of gospel musicians who charge money for their music as an analogy in a way that seems to justify an OAP’s right to also charge for using his skillset. He questions, “<em>If a gospel musician can charge for his music, why does that gospel musician want to sit down with me and discuss with me for five minutes and expect me not to bill him for it?</em>”</p>

<h3>Problem two: ‘I am the equivalent of an SAN on radio…’</h3>

<p>In a way, the OAP then uses the same rationale to justify his charge to artistes. He says, “<em>I have my official hours at the radio station. If you are coming to me within my unofficial hours to have a meeting with me and you are making me go through the torture – which it is sometimes – to listen to three and a half minutes of your nonsense, literally… you should expect me to charge you for it.</em>”</p>

<p>“<em>I have spent 23 years on the radio… I have spent 11 years more than the Doctor to get to stage I have gotten to and you want to sit down with me for free, God will punish you! I am the equivalent of an SAN,</em>” he added.</p>

<p>He then claims that his profile is not in artist promotion. However, he claims that with his followers on <strong>Twitter, Instagram </strong>and <strong>YouTube </strong>he will charge for any promotion he does. He then calls artists the most, “<em>ungrateful, and entitled</em>” set of people.</p>

<p>While he revealed he was building a church, Daddy Freeze claims that, “<em>I will never support anybody playing music on the radio and charging move for it, but I will also never support a musician expecting a radio presenter to sit down with him and listen to his music and have a discussion with him for free</em>.”</p>

<p>For <strong>eLDee</strong>, he says, “<em>I was there in the early stages of what is today, Nigerian music… I think that a lot of times, in these conversations, people tend to miss the actual point of the argument… Number one is, there is a culture of entitlement, and it’s not just the music thing. It’s part of our fabric now…</em>”</p>

<p>The Atlanta-based veteran feels that Nigerians now feel entitled to being helped for free by people who have worked to get where they are. He says that as a people, we need to acknowledge that it’s bad.</p>

<p>On the other hand, eLDee acknowledged the problem of <em>“rent-seeking”</em> in the Nigerian music industry. In his words, he says, <em>“People like to use their position to seek rent…</em>” He uses the example of unfair advantage in contract pursuits in exchange for favour in Nigeria parastatals as example.</p>

<p>He then goes further to liken rent-seeking to payola. He says, “<em>An OAP by definition is someone who is hired to play music on the radio… who like you said can choose once in a while - and it’s perfectly and totally legal – to play some of the things that they feel they need to play in order to cater to their audience.</em></p>

<p><em>“Here is where it becomes rent-seeking. It becomes rent-seeking when I say to people that, ‘Hey you know what, if you want your music played on my show, just pay me and I’ll play it’… I’m going to use my position as an OAP to seek rent. That’s when it becomes bad</em>.</p>

<p><em>“There’s kind of a thin line. (Then) How do you determine when someone is rent-seekin from when they’re consulting?</em>”</p>

<p>Interestingly, Freeze also revealed some interesting facts about his affiliation to <strong>Maintain, </strong>and some backup stories about <strong>D’Banj, Timaya, P Square </strong>and <strong>Cabo Snoop. </strong></p>

In creative industries across the world, the issue of unfair advantage and exploitation of position for monetary gain has always been a problem. Radio personalities, DJs and influencers of the soundscape have always had the power to sway attention the way of a song or an artist.
