Culture Custodian is proud to announce the launch of its latest podcast series, Carnivores, an immersive narrative podcast that explores the rivalries, conflicts, and cultural flashpoints that have shaped Nigerian pop culture.
Officially released on July 8, Carnivores takes listeners behind the scenes of some of Nigeria’s most unforgettable beefs, from legendary music feuds to political showdowns and social media battles that gripped the nation. With a blend of immersive storytelling, reenactments, interviews, and archival footage, Carnivores captures the energy and intensity of each feud while also offering critical insight into their cultural significance.
The debut episode revisits one of the most dramatic moments in Nigerian pop culture: Olamide vs Don Jazzy at the 2015 Headies Awards. What began as a live awards show meltdown quickly escalated into a defining conflict between two industry powerhouses, symbolizing a generational and stylistic shift in Nigerian music. Carnivores unpacks it all, the tension, the subtext, and the ripple effects still felt in the music industry today.
“For us, Carnivores is a way of making pop culture history fun, cool, and impossible to ignore,” said Mayowa Idowu, the Editor in Chief of Culture Custodian. “We’re unpacking a diverse range of stories with the ultimate goal of educating and entertaining our audience. It also reflects Culture Custodian’s mission to create best-in-class content that sits at the heart of the cultural zeitgeist.”
Carnivores is insightful, entertaining, and unflinching. Perfect for pop culture enthusiasts, music heads, and anyone curious about the forces that shape our collective story.
