DJ Ollah denies dodging police in bullying row
DJ Ollah7 fired back at Mudiwa Hood about claims he's running from the cops. He made it clear he always followed the law and would never duck the police. "I will never evade the police. I'm a law-abiding citizen and an accredited journalist who is simply doing his job," DJ Ollah7 explained. The clash started when Mudiwa took legal steps against both DJ Ollah7 and Holy-Ten, accusing them of online harassment. Even though DJ Ollah7 never directly attacked Mudiwa Hood, sharing the content on his media platform makes him just as responsible for the alleged bullying. Mudiwa pushed for DJ Ollah7 to head to the police station alongside Holy-Ten since he believes both men harassed him online. But DJ Ollah7 stood firm on his position that he...

Hillary Makaya tells Oriyano to find his own style
Famous personality Hillary Makaya told singer Oriyano he needed to stop leaning on Jah Prayzah's sound. She pointed out that Oriyano should express himself instead of being a copycat. Oriyano first grabbed attention because he could mimic Jah Prayzah's voice perfectly, which made him pretty popular fast. He rode that wave of fame to release some original tracks later on. Many fans agree with Hillary that Oriyano should break away from just sounding like someone else. Critics say he relies way more than necessary on copying Jah Prayzah's unique vocal style. They want him to find his voice as an artist rather than staying as a tribute act forever. The public seems ready for Oriyano to develop something fresh that comes from his true self.
