Nigeria’s music industry has been thrust into controversy after a viral statement allegedly made by an Aye confraternity member claimed that some of the country’s biggest stars are tied to the group.

In the trending post, the individual boasted: “Aye confraternity runs the Nigerian music industry. Davido, Burna Boy, Seyi Vibez, Zlatan, Barry Jhay, and Cubana Chief Priest are all Egede men — so how can you now say cultism is a bad thing?”

The remarks have sparked intense debate across social media platforms, with many Nigerians expressing shock and outrage. Some dismissed the claim as attention-seeking propaganda, while others warned that it reflects the dangerous glamorization of cultism in entertainment circles.

None of the celebrities mentioned have issued a response to the allegations, and there is no concrete evidence linking them to any confraternity. Still, the viral nature of the post underscores the influence of cult-related narratives within Nigeria’s entertainment culture and the concern that such claims could negatively impact impressionable fans.

Cultism remains a deeply troubling issue in Nigeria, often associated with violence, crime, and social unrest. Public boasting of this kind only amplifies fears about its creeping normalization in spaces that should otherwise inspire and uplift.
