Sammie Okposo deletes apology post over infidelity
Gospel artist, Sammie Okposo has taken down his apology post, barely 24hours after sharing it on his Instagram account.
The singer, on Tuesday apologized to his wife, family, friends and fans over his affair with an American lady, African doll.
However, barely 24hours after posting it, he took it down.
This is coming after his name was removed from the list of artists to perform at the Dunamis Gospel concert to hold on Friday, January 28. The “welu welu” crooner has however failed to respond to the pregnancy allegations by African doll.
The singer had written, “Dear friends, I need to bring a very unfortunate incident to your attention as I am not proud of it but know that this is the right thing to do. On my recent trip to the USA (late 2021), I got intimately involved with a lady, knowing that this was not appropriate as a married man and a minister of the gospel. I am ashamed and regret my actions as it has caused a lot of pain to my dear wife, Ozioma, my family and me. As I work in making peace with God, repenting and asking for his forgiveness, I am suspending myself from all ministry work until full restoration as this is what is proper and what I know I owe to God and his people.
“To my wife Ozioma I am sincerely sorry I put you through this shameful embarrassing situation. I broke your trust and disappointed you. Your forgiveness of my moral failure and poor judgement is important to me. I pray I will eventually be able to build back the trust and confidence every single day for the rest of my life.
“I want to take this moment to apologize to all my fathers and mothers of the faith and misters of the gospel for my behaviour and moral failure. I won’t be here if not for your investment and belief in what God has called me to do. I sincerely apologise for this embarrassing situation.”

Speed Darlington alleges use of ‘Juju’ by Portable during celebrity boxing bout
Speed Darlington alleges use of ‘Juju’ by Portable during celebrity boxing bout
Nigerian musician Darlington Okoye, widely known as Speed Darlington, has claimed that fellow singer Badmus Okikiola, popularly referred to as Portable, resorted to traditional charms—often called juju—during their weekend celebrity boxing clash.
The match took place on Saturday as part of the Chaos In The Ring series, an event hosted by Game Rush in collaboration with Balmoral Promotions. This spectacle followed similar entertainment boxing events, including a showcase in December 2024 and the February 2025 debut of Friday Fight Night.
In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), Speed Darlington voiced suspicions over the circumstances of the fight, stating that his shoulder became dislocated even though he didn’t feel physically exhausted.

“My shoulder got dislocated, and I wasn’t even tired,” he said in the clip, implying that spiritual interference may have played a role in the outcome.
Portable was declared the winner, and the match has since stirred considerable buzz across social media platforms.
The rivalry between the two artists had intensified ahead of the bout, reportedly stemming from a disagreement over performance fees. According to circulating accounts, Speed Darlington had offered Portable ₦500,000 to perform at an event—an offer the latter allegedly found offensive.
