List of celebrity controversies so far

The year so far has been a firecracker!

In the first 31 days of the year 2016 B.C we have witnessed award fights, twitter tantrums, club scuffles, song jacking allegations, Instagram assaults, baby napping drama and a gate crashing allegation that quickly turned into an onslaught of vile insults.

On the first day of the year, popular Nigerian rapper Olamide and Mavin Records boss Don Jazzy took shots at each other at the Headies which later spilled online.

Since New Year day Nigerian celebrities have been going at each other with no chill or reservation on social media. It has been a drastic change. Before Nigerian celebrities all sang 'kumbaya', and held hands under the mango tree. Now it's Game of Thrones, every man for himself.

January 2016 has been very hot! Below is a list of the celebrity fights last month.
