Gospel artist Laolu Gbenjo has strongly condemned what he described as wickedness and manipulation surrounding the circumstances of the late singer, Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings.
Gbenjo made the appeal during a night of tributes held in honour of the late musician at the Jogor Centre in Ibadan, Oyo State. Addressing the gathering, he passionately urged individuals allegedly behind any underhanded tactics to halt their actions immediately.
Describing Toluwanisings as a devoted servant of God and a man of integrity, Gbenjo noted that the late singer possessed a pure heart and was a friend to all.
Cautioning against attempts to distort facts or control narratives regarding the tragic event, Gbenjo stated that whoever was orchestrating such moves should desist. He called on attendees to collectively reject such actions, leading them in a unified stance against perceived malice.
The remarks come amid heightened emotions and grief surrounding Toluwanisings’ passing, which occurred on October 14, 2026. Fellow artistes and industry colleagues at the memorial event paid glowing tributes, demanding sincerity and peace as the public comes to terms with the loss.
Crystal Hefner, the widow of late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, has accused him of subjecting her and other women to sexual abuse and coercion during their relationship.
Speaking on the “Lisa Guerrero Unleashed” podcast, the 40-year-old said she often felt obligated to comply with Hefner’s wishes, including sexually, and questioned whether some of what she experienced amounted to rape.
“I do believe that I did whatever he wanted me to do. And if that involved sex, then I just did what he wanted me to do,” she said.
Crystal recalled situations in the bedroom that left her deeply uncomfortable, stating that some things that happened “ended up just not being OK.”
She also made a disturbing allegation involving twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon, claiming Hefner attempted to pressure them into sexual activity with each other.
“That is incest. That is disgusting,” she stated, adding that witnessing the situation was “very, very hard” for her.
Crystal further alleged that Hefner would use dirty sex toys during encounters with her and other women, describing the experiences as painful and lacking intimacy.
When host Lisa Guerrero suggested that what Crystal described “sounds like rape,” she agreed.
“He’s not gentle,” Crystal said, adding that she would be left in pain afterward.
According to Crystal, Hefner increasingly sought extreme stimulation and engaged in sexual acts that she said were not consensual or intimate.
Crystal and Hugh married in 2012 and remained together until his death at 91 in September 2017. She has since moved on with marine biologist James Ward, whom she began dating in 2024. The pair married in April.
