What will a year be without celebs fighting themselves?

Celebrities have been in the news this year for fighting online, shading themselves and straight up beef. These famous people entertained us on social media with so much drama.
Enough talking, let’s take a look at 10 celebrity fights of 2017.

1. Psquare

This was the biggest celebrity fight of the year 2017 as it was very explosive and detailed. When we say detailed it means unlike the previous years when the Okoyebrothers had their rift and nobody knew what they were fighting about, this year saw the brothers wash their dirty linens in public.
It all started with shade comments on Instagram from Paul Okoye who started talking about someone not happy about the birth of his twin babies. This, however, was the beginning of what became a full-fledged fight with both brothers calling each other out on social media. The worst part of the fight was the release of a video which went viral where the brothers were seen insulting each other and almost getting physical in their lawyer's office.

2. Burna Boy vs Mr 2Kay

Mr 2Kay was robbed and assaulted after performing at Buckwyld n Breathless in Lagos in October 2017. Well, it was assumed. In a plot twist, after investigating the incident, the police arrested four suspects who mentioned singer, Burna boy as the brain behind the attack on Mr. 2Kay.
The connection between Burna Boy and Mr. 2Kay was traced back to an interview where Mr 2Kay called out Burna boy for saying derogatory statements against Nigerian pastors.
Burna didn't take it likely with Mr 2Kay as he sent him a message on Twitter threatening to deal with him. Few days after, Mr 2Kay was attacked. The police then declared Burna boy wanted for allegedly ordering the assault and robbery of Mr. 2Kay.

3. Wizkid vs Davido

When will the beef between Nigeria’s biggest stars stop? 2017 started on a rather quiet note for both stars drama wise but by mid-2017 things got pretty serious. Davido took a jab at Wizkid’s choice of sounds on his international EP ‘Sounds From The Other Side’. Of course, Wizkid replied and Davido dropped a sub for him on the track ‘Summer Body’ featuringOlamide.
Wizkid would then go ahead to call Davido ‘frog face’, a diss at his husky voice. The two would continue to clash online till theOne Music Africa Fest in Dubai where the crews of both acts clashed. Davido and Wizkid will most likely never be friends.

4. Tonto Dikeh vs Oladunni Churchill

Tonto Dikeh made the headlines in 2017 for all the wrong reasons. She was less of an actress and more of a controversial character. Her fight with her estranged husband, Churchill Oladunni was basically on every blog and tabloid. It was either they were calling each other out or shading each other on Instagram. The worse part was the fact that they used harsh words for each other and even released videos of them fighting while they were still married. They just couldn't get off social media as they both washed their dirty linens publicly.

5. Timaya vs Eedris Abdulkareem

Eedris Abdulkareem was a loose cannon in 2017. He took shots at everyone from Mr Eazi, Davido, 2face Idibia and D’banj Eedris, however, met his match with Timaya- his former backup act.
During an interview, he called out Timaya, calling him ungrateful. Timaya who wasn't going to be having any of Eedris' rants, released a video where he called him out, calling him a "Dirty Igbo Smoker” amongst other nasty things.

6. Daddy Freeze vs Timi Dakolo

Daddy Freeze is known to be very vocal when it comes to religious issues. This year saw him go head to head with Pentecostal pastors over the concept of tithing.
His comments on the matter have been so controversial and have attracted a lot of criticisms from pastors and celebs alike. One of the celebs who came after Daddy Freeze was Timi Dakolo.
Daddy Freeze and Timi Dakolo went on and on, calling each other out causing a huge debate among fans and followers. It even got so messy at one point that an allegation that Timi Dakolo had an extramarital affair came up.

7. Kcee vs Harrysong

The feud between Kcee and Harrysong didn't start in 2017 but it grew bigger this year and widened this year.
In 2017 Harrysong's former record label,Five Star Music took him to court for allegedly breaching their contract. Harrysong wasn't done with them as he called out Kcee and his brother E-Moneywhile performing on stage for trying to ruin his career. At some point, Harrysong was even arrested and the fight was all messy.

8. Dammy Krane vs Tekno

The year 2017 has been very eventful for the singer, Dammy Krane, from his arrest in the United States of America over credit card fraud to having a rift with a number of his colleagues in the music industry.
Tekno was among those got into a fight with Dammy Krane in what appeared to be a quite confusing rift because it initially felt like Dammy Krane had issues with Orezi but late said he wasn't referring to Orezi rather he was talking to Tekno. Tekno didn't waste time before he responded to Dammy Krane which sparked off a back and forth name calling and shading on Twitter.

9. Dammy Krane vs Orezi

Yes, Dammy Krane appears on this list again. Orezi had released a photo of himself with a new look and warned other celebrities to stay off. Dammy Krane took it upon himself to call out Orezi in a video where he said Orezi was making a ridiculous statement. Orezi was a bit calm about it but said bloggers blew the rift out of proportion.

10. M.I. vs N6

M.I. released a single "You rappers should fix up your lives," a song that felt like a shade to his colleagues.
Well OAP, N6 who is also a rapper couldn't keep his disdain for the track as he replied M.I.  with a diss track. Just when we all thought that was going to be the end of what seemed like beef, the two celebrities decided to call each other out. It was more like a Twitter fight as they kept on insulting and exchanging words to the surprise of their fans. Just like any fight, they both had their moments and fans who stood behind them.
