Controversy could boost one's carrier and too much of it can also mar one's career. Some go out on their own to court controversies, while some just find themselves in controversial situations.

That stated, here are the top 10 most controversial entertainers in Nigeria.

1 CHARLIE BOY
Topping this list is Charlie Boy, popularly known as Area Father. He is the most controversial Nigerian entertainer of all time.
From his alleged gay kiss and liaison with another popular controversial entertainer , Denrele, to his alleged owning up of been the head of illuminati in Nigeria, which he later denied. He likes wearing weird clothes, jewelry and make up which make him scary a times; Charlie boy once went to the venue of the audition for Nigerian Idol with a python and made everyone on set to run for safety. He once released nude pictures of him in weird positions. He had in the past released pictures where he was sleeping in a coffin.
Recently, Scarry picture of him sitting like a magician at his father's funeral surfaced online.

2 DENRELE
He is another very controversial entertainer. The T.V show presenter always dresses in weird attires, jewelry and weird hair styles. People have tagged him gay due to his weird dressing. Denrele was once pictured kissing Charlie Boy which increased the gay rumor trailing him. One thing is clear, Denrele doesn't even bother about what people think about him.

3 MAHEEDA
Nigerian singer, Caroline Sam, popularly known as Maheeda became an orphan at age 13 and with no one to help her turned to prostitution.
But according to her she later gave her life to Christ and turned to music.

ln an interview, Maheeda talked about how she struggled to quit prostitution and turning to God for help.“…Even after getting married I still have this urge of going out to meet a man. But I felt it should not be so. I’m trying to let people know there is a spirit behind prostitution, if not, why after getting married, I have everything, I live in Lekki, I’m driving a very big car and my husband gives me whatever I want, so why would I still feel like going into prostitution? Maheeda, the gospel singer courts controversies by frequently releasing nude pictures of herself in weird and sexy positions.

4 AFROCANDY
Personally, I haven't watched any of her films, but I learnt she's an actress based in the US, but I only got to know about her via her controversial pictures and statements. Afrocandy courts controversies for herself through the release of her sexy and unclad pictures. Her film, Destructive Instinct, generated a lot of controversies as it was termed soft-porn.

5 COSSY ORJIAKOR
The queen of boobs also courts controversies for herself by always flaunting pictures of her oversized 'watermelons'. She recently released a picture of her massive 'milk industry' in celebration of the Super Eagles effort at the world Cup.
Cossy was once said to have slept with a dog and also had HIV scandals trail her in the past, but she vehemently denied the sex with dog and HIV story.

But one thing is clear, Cossy who is a masters degree holder, enjoys controversies.

6 TONTO DIKEH

Jim has found himself in lots of controversial situations..He was involved in a N15M debt mess few years back as one Alhaja Habib Abubakar arrested him and later took him to court over the money the star actor owed her.
