Renowned American rapper Jay-Z took the opportunity during his acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards to voice his disappointment with the academy’s failure to honor his wife, Beyoncé, with the Best Album award.
Jay-Z received the prestigious Dr. Dre Global Impact Award in recognition of his significant contributions to the music industry.
Accompanied by his 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, he graciously accepted the accolade on stage.
Meanwhile, Beyoncé sat among the audience, attentively listening to her husband’s speech.
Jay-Z used the platform to emphasize that there are more important aspects of life than winning Grammys, acknowledging their subjective nature.
He spoke on the fact that despite Beyoncé’s numerous Grammy wins, she has never been awarded Album of the Year.
In his speech, Jay-Z respectfully pointed out the obvious stating:
“I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year.
So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work. Think about that. The most Grammys; never won Album of the Year. That doesn’t work.”
Jay-Z himself has been nominated for an impressive 88 Grammy Awards, securing 24 wins.
Notably, he has been nominated for Album of the Year six times.
Similarly, Beyoncé boasts an equally impressive record, with 88 competitive Grammy nominations and 32 wins.
Surprisingly, despite six nominations, she has never claimed the Album of the Year title.
Jay-Z’s remarks have sparked conversations online about the Grammy Awards’ selection process.

Popular TikTok influencer Khabane Lame, better known as Khaby Lame, has caused quite a stir on social media, especially among Africans, after revealing his favorite African artist.
In an interview with Okay Africa at the 66th Grammy Awards held on Sunday, January 4, the Senegalese-born Italian social media personality disclosed that the African artist he has had on repeat is none other than the late American rapper, 2Pac.
However, his statement has left netizens, particularly Africans, bewildered because 2Pac, born Tupac Shakur, is clearly not African but a black American artist, and they expected Khaby to know better because he is Senagelese.
Others asserted that Khaby, who is the most followed TikTok user with over 160 million followers on the platform, should continue keeping mute as he does in his comedy videos where he silently mocks overly complicated life hack videos, without uttering a word.

The Hot 40 Series is renowned for its dazzling design, featuring a layer of sparkling crystals against a starry texture. This design has a lustrous finish that shifts in appearance, reflecting light from various angles.

Immersing myself in the world of gaming with the Infinix Hot 40 Pro has been an epic saga. The XArena gaming suite became my command center, tailoring the phone’s resources to push for peak performance, making every battle and race feel as if I was truly part of the action. The DTS audio wasn’t just sound—it was an auditory landscape that enveloped me, transforming gunshots and orchestral scores into a visceral experience.

African Man With Handcuffed Hands Isolated On White Background
A Nigerian man who identifies as @somteeofficial has narrated via the microblogging platform X, how his neighbor called the police on him after suspecting that he was into fraud.
The police had showed up at his home in the early hours of today, to search his home, while placing him in handcuffs.
Narrating the ordeal, he wrote;
“Just got handcuffed by police What an amazing way to start my week. So police officers came to my place this morning & handcuffed me saying I was under arrest (for a crime they wouldn’t tell me about). After searching through all my rooms for whatever evidence they could find, then proceeding to search through my phones, laptops etc (at this point already figured what this was about). Asked me what I do for a living, told them I build apps & mobile games, you could clearly see over a dozen of them installed on my phones, and dozens more on app stores. Even just putting on my laptop right there on the screen was a mobile app I was developing. Threatened that if they take me to the station the forensics would find anything implicating on my devices, even the ones I’ve deleted. Told them unless they want to plant something on me, they wouldn’t see even as little as me charging someone an extra N100 for something not to talk of scamming. Long story short, after looking through all my chats they figured I was clean, they then told me I should just be careful.. Apparently a neighbor of mine gave a “tip” to the police that they suspected I was into fraud. Cause they always see me at home and I seem to be doing so well. Lol. Funny cause I don’t even relate with a single neighbor in the estate The only regret I have is not getting that officers contact, I really want to know who that neighbor is.”

You didn’t have to put it here without finding out the whole truth.
I have been feeling bad about the whole issue and trying to look for a better way to address this and appease you. But since you’ve taken it up to embarrass me on social media, I don’t owe you any explanation.
You are lying through your teeth about the issue. Have you told everyone that you weren’t performing the duties of a girlfriend? You don’t even know how to cook a proper meal. Talking about feeding me and all when I was the person doing all the cooking for you and Obinna.
We accidentally had sex one of the days you went to work and it eventually turned to a love story I can’t wipe off because of friendship. I got pregnant too. You can’t blame me for getting pregnant please. I avoided your calls when I returned to Lagos because of guilt.
Now you’ve posted it for the world to see I don’t care anymore. Do your worst.”

“You wed a man who intimidates you during pregnancy with potential side chick, yet you audaciously mock single girls. Aunty, you have a resident problem.
You marry a man, who provides for everyone except you and your children. Aunty off mic! You are a single parent.
You marry ‘community man’ instead of ‘your man’ Sister! You are the Ring Bearer!!
We are all going through a lot or coming from a lot. But when we see a single girl about 35, we abandon our prayer point and focus on her! Team ” I am happily married ”
Focus on your Focus o!!!!
Nobody truly wants to be alone dem never find who go give dem Peace.
Big Brother Naija star, Groovy has finally addressed claims that he exploited relationships to advance in the show.
Recall that throughout his time in the BBNaija house, Groovy was involved in two relationships: the first with Beauty, who was eliminated in the second week, and the second with Phyna, the winner of the season.
Groovy claims that, in contrast to the story that some of his colleagues and fans have spread about him, he was genuinely kind, devoted, and true to himself when he was living in the house.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, he revealed this while stressing that it was incorrect for some of his ex-girlfriends’ fans to say that he tricked the women just because things didn’t work out.
Groovy said;
“I feel there has been a certain perception of me in the public as a result of the relationships I was in while in the house. All those talks about me not being genuine is something I want to clear up, because I actually stayed true to myself. I was caring and loyal. I did not try to deceive anybody. I believed I could win the show, without necessarily having to do any of that.
What is the essence of winning the show if I lost my mantle or damaged anybody in the process? I feel like some things work out and some things don’t work out. Saying that I am not a genuine person because everything did not work out is a wrong narrative about me. I am not what they said I am.”
The musician talked about his interactions with the other housemates during their reunion, describing it as a way for the others to blow off any unfinished business.
He said; “I feel like the reunion was a continuation of what we did in the house, and I actually saw it as an opportunity for people to bury the hatchet, and air out their grievances for one last time, and find mutual understanding.
“There were fun sides to it, and there were also fights. I felt everybody had different experiences. I went there and I said my truth, which is all I always say, because I am a genuine person. I say things as they are, and don’t try to cut corners.”

Recall that in January 2023, there had been a relationship crisis involving his ex-girlfriend, Fancy Acholonu, so Alexx began by offering consolation to those who had not succeeded in pursuing a relationship with him in 2023.
He acknowledged that there was fierce rivalry among his followers to date him, but this year, starting on February 10th, individuals may start shooting their shots at him.
He wrote;
“Congratulations to everyone who tried to date me last year.
I understand the competition was stiff & tough.
This year, applications open on the 10th of February.
The link will be in Bio on said date.
Goodluck!
Thank you for Banking with us. ”
In related news, Alex Ekubo asserted that the trending slogan for 2024, ‘No gree for anybody,’ is breeding violence and fostering a culture of revenge.
He shared this opinion in a post on his Instagram page on Monday, January 12, while delivering his New Year pep talk for 2024.
The 37-year-old movie star urged people to practice tolerance and consideration towards others, rather than being hostile and refusing to tolerate differing viewpoints.

The video was captioned:
“We just had to put a smile on his face; this man has been through a lot.
Justice for his son Mohbad”
However, at the time of writing this story, it is not clear where and when the video was filmed.

Former presidential aide and activist, Reno Omokri, has revealed that he would ban the importation of human hair if he were the President of Nigeria.
He made this statement in a post on his Instagram page while addressing the consistent increase in the exchange rate as the Naira continues to depreciate.
According to Reno, Nigerians spend a lot on foreign products and import basic items instead of patronizing Nigerian-made products, causing the Naira to continually lose value.
He asserted that Nigeria imports a lot of human hairs and wigs, even more than books, which are paid for in foreign currency, thereby causing the government to shell out thousands of dollars.
To curb this, Reno stated that if he were the sitting president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, he would ban the importation of human hair to keep the money in the economy.
He also cited examples of Nigerians booking international flight companies and consuming foreign-made alcohol in clubs.
Read his full post below,
“The Naira is a reflection of the Nigerian. Look, the Central Bank of Nigeria just paid a billion dollars to foreign airlines. Those are airlines flying the same route as Air Peace. Do you know that if you and I, as Nigerians, had flown Air Peace instead of foreign airlines, that $1 billion would have stayed and circulated in Nigeria? And when dollars and pounds stay in Nigeria, the Naira rises in power. If they leave Nigeria, our Naira goes lower and lower.
The Central Bank had to cough up $200 million to pay for human hair, as if God did not give our women hair. This is hair that Indian, Bangladeshi, and Southeast Asian women cut and dedicate to their temples. They then barely process the hair and label them Brazilian, European and Peruvian hair, and our women rush to buy them, wear them, and shake the hair angrily to accuse Tinubu of ruining the economy. If I were Tinubu, I would ban the importation of human hair. Fact-check this, as a nation, Nigeria spends more on human hair than on books.
The Naira is now our collective responsibility. When you go to Quilox to spend #5 million on Moét, Louis XIIl Cognac, and Glenfiddich, then post your receipt on social media, you are putting downward pressure on the Naira.
Containers on the high seas coming to Nigeria with things we can produce in Nigeria are killing the Naira. There is no magic wand. If we don’t band together to stand together and buy made in Nigeria, the Naira will continue to go asunder!”

Popular Nigerian singer, Kingsley Okonkwo, popularly known as Kcee, has disclosed that he began his professional career as a DJ jockey.
He revealed that DJing was a family affair in an interview for the most recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast.
The crooner of “Ojapiano” said that before changing jobs, both his father and brother, Emeka Okonkwo, alias E-Money, co-founder of Five Star Music, were disc jockeys.
He said;
“My father was a DJ, a record seller. I grew up in a home where my father sold records. So all the old-school artistes, I know them [their music]. I was selling their records when I was about 5 or 6 years old. When I was in secondary school, I was already handling a full record store and playing at parties. I and E-Money were DJs. So, I listened to a lot of artistes.”
A while back, Kcee revealed that he earned more money from his joint gospel album with Okwesili Eze Group, titled ‘Cultural Praise,’ than he did from his entire secular music career.
The 44-year-old singer, from Anambra State, made this revelation during a recent interview with Cool FM in Lagos.
According to Kcee, the gospel album, which many had criticized, turned out to be his most streamed project to date.
“When I did the gospel [album] and many people were saying, ‘It’s over, he is actually going back to his village. Now he’s taking the music to the village.’
“That was horrible. When I heard that, I thought, ‘Okay, let’s see how it goes.’ And it didn’t turn out that way. I made more money from it [the gospel album] than ever before in my entire career,” he said.
