The former Liverpool and Chelsea boss has endured a tough season at the Bernabeu since taking over in June, and while he only finds his side four points off Atletico at the top of La Liga he has had fallouts with key players and been criticised for a defensive style of football.

DAVIDO REVEALS HOW HIS DAUGHTER "IMADE" ALMOST LOST HER LIFE THROUGH THE SHAMEFUL ACTION OF HER MOTHER "SOPHIA MOMODU".

Birth of Imade Adeleke

When the second trimester of Sophia’s pregnancy was closing, she tortuously announced to me that she was in the family way.

My mind was bemused,and so was my soul confused. But I quickly realized that nothing more could be done to alter my status as a father-to-be. I knew that I was not ready to be a dad. Still, I adjusted myself to the realities of my new situation and the consequences of my past personal indiscretions. 

I made the determination that I was going to be a good dad. I also reasoned that my blunder is not enough pretext to make me a husband. I was just 21. And so I decided to be a responsible dad without being husband to the mother of my baby. I never was in love with Sophia neither was marriage ever in the offing.

OPEN LETTER TO ORGANISERS OF @THE_HEADIES..

Read the open letter from Baddest DJ Timmy to the Headies Awards organizers below...

"When i wrote my first open letter to Headies on December 29, 2013, the majority opinions i got was that i was correct while others felt i was just an “Attention seeker”. Headies as an award should be credibile and not just over hyped. We have hundreds of award shows every year in Nigeria and they are not as controversial as this one. Headies as an award are still not appreciating certain artiste, producers, entertainers and Dj’s who work 24/7 to make sure they bring out the best. "

They give us the impression that once you are not nominated or you do not win, you have not started your career;This is a BIG LIE. Over the years, All Ayo Animashaun and HipTv family have proven that it is Money over Integrity and that is why he always ignores the choices of majority of Nigerians or could it be that they innocently dont even know what they are doing? I am not here to analyse the faults of headies in full but you can read the other complains on twitter with the hashtag #TheHeadies2015.

(VIDEO) OLAMIDE VS DON JAZZY, THE MESSY FIGHT AT #THEHEADIES2015.

The 2015 edition of the HEADIES award which was also the 10th edition of the event ended in quite a sad note as two heavyweights in the music industry clashed.

It started when Mavins act Reekadobanks won the Next-rated award ahead of YBNL's Lil Kesh. This didn't go down well with YBNL boss Olamide who had the opportunity to express himself when one of his Soldiers "Adekunle Gold" won the best alternative song. He said Lil Kesh has had back to back hits hence deserved the award. He was quite brutal in his comments because he used the F*** word a couple of times.

MY ROLE IN THE DAVIDO BABYMAMA DRAMA - DELE MOMODU.

Dele Momodu on his Instagram page explains his role in Davido’s baby saga.

In september 2015, I got a call from Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, a long time friend, telling me his son had fathered a baby girl with my cousin, Sophia Momodu. I rejoiced with him as any reasonable soul will do. He apologised that he had not called all along because he wasn’t sure if Sophie’s baby was going to turn out a fake one like that of two others who had turned up at his doorstep.

But mercifully, according to Dr. Adeleke, Sophie’s baby passed the DNA test by over 98 per cent and he was elated. I congratulated him again as proud grandfather. He said he would like to meet me with Sophie since Sophie’s dad, Uncle Jibola Momodu, passed on years ago and Sophie mentioned me as her cousin.
