The year 2022 was filled with a variety of trending topics from Nigerian artists who made headlines due to one scandal or the other.

No matter how hard Nigerian musicians try, scandal always seems to find them; this is due to the nosy eyes of fans and anti-fans.

One might even be pushed to remark that is the cost of being a public figure.

Most often, the news is about their personal lives, relationships, businesses, and families, which causes a lot of drama, confrontations, and arguments between fans and critics.

In 2022, a few Nigerian musicians gained notoriety for entirely wrong reasons. In this article, Mp3bullet.ng has assembled a list of Nigerian artists who gained notoriety for their particular scandal in 2022.

1. Oxlade


Oxlade made headlines after his sex clip went viral on the internet on February 9th, 2022.

The video was leaked on Tuesday night via the social media platform Snapchat. Since the video went viral, internet users have lauded the musician for his ‘relational’ skills.

Although the girl implicated in the controversy has now demanded justice, claiming that her life has come to a halt while the singer moved on smoothly.

2. Timaya


Timaya was detained in March after a woman by the name of Omawumi called him out on Instagram for running over her sister with his car and seriously injuring her.

On a Thursday morning, armed police officers stormed into the musician’s home and took him away.

In the viral footage, the singer can be seen explaining to the police what happened during the suspected hit-and-run event before being taken away a little while later.

Omawumi claims that the reason the controversial artist was detained was that the victim questioned him for destroying her car and he purposefully rammed into her.

3. Portable


This controversial Nigerian musician gained notoriety after YBNL leader Olamide featured him in one of his songs. Even a year later, the Zazu Zeh crooner has continued to get attention, defying expectations that his rise to popularity would be fleeting.

The street-hop musician has garnered media attention for a variety of controversial topics, including his disagreements with many of his backers.

He made waves online when he posted a video in which he claimed to have founded the infamous One-Million Boys cult before retracting his claim.

He also gained headlines online after threatening whoever won the 2022 Headies award over him despite receiving two nominations.

The contentious musician claims that his song “Zazuu Zeh” is much more well-liked than the other tracks on the list. In addition, Portable asserted that he was more well-known on the street than his fellow nominees. He was eventually disqualified by the Organizers.

He also made news when a video of him attacking his signee, Manny Monie went viral.

4. BNXN

In August, BNXN encountered his most controversial moment and joined the list of artists who had their s*xtape leaked.

A Swedish woman named Filma, who was allegedly the singer’s girlfriend, was reportedly seen in a bedroom with him in a video that went viral online.

Unverified rumours claim that she became pregnant for him and sought to come clean about their relationship, but he tried to quiet her.

While the video wasn’t as damning as Oxlade’s, it still made headlines as the singer had a girlfriend, Peggy.

5. Sammie Okpsoso


Late Gospel Artist, Sammie Okposo in January shocked the world when he took to Instagram to apologize to his wife, family, friends, and fans for his act of infidelity.

Later, an American lady, based in Texas, known as African Doll, accused Sammie Okposo of impregnating and abandoning her.

The lady decided to talk to a YouTuber, Obodo Naija TV about her predicament. According to the lady, she met Sammie in America when he went to perform.

According to African Doll, they messed around during his visit to America. And after this, she discovered she was pregnant and told Sammie about it but he told her to abort it.
