Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has claimed that Nigerians nearly ruined his career after he punched a police officer.
Recall that in May 2023, a viral video showed him striking an officer in a uniform.
Seun attacked the staff after becoming enraged at the man for damaging the back bumper of the car his family was riding in. As a result, the singer was detained and brought before the Lagos State magistrate’s court.
Seun Kuti revealed in an Instagram live video that he missed roughly six major performances because he stood up for his family throughout the subsequent struggle.
In his words,
“I’m tired of seeing my name everywhere attached to Sam Larry, Naira Marley, arrest or no arrest, police or no police. I’m really tired and I don’t want you guys to join me in your issues.
That was how una used una mouth nearly spoil my life, nearly destroying my career with una yeye keypad and computer. I missed five or six big shows this summer just because I defended my life and the life of my family. For that reason Nigerians wanted my life to be ended, for me to be destroyed and no body cared.
Nigeria Police suddenly became an innocent and peaceful force on earth. And Seun became the mad person that left his house looking for police to quarrel with. That was the picture you people painted about me then.”

Reality TV star, Cynthia Nwadiora, better known as Ceec, has taken to social media to celebrate her fellow housemate, Ilebaye, on her victory as the winner of the BBNaija All Stars season.
She posted a photo of Ilebaye holding her N120 million prize check at the presentation ceremony in Lagos, Nigeria, on her Instastory and congratulated her.
Ceec, who had high hopes of winning the show, had earlier expressed her disappointment after being eliminated during the finale on Sunday, October 1.
However, for the first time since the show ended, she went online to congratulate the 22-year-old Kogi-born winner.
During the finale, the other finalists— Cross, Pere, Adekunle, and Ceec—were eliminated in that order, leaving only Ilebaye and Mercy.
Ilebaye ultimately emerged as the winner with the highest percentage of votes, 30.08%, while Mercy received 23.48%, CeeC had 23.41%, Adekunle garnered 12.61%, Pere secured 5.82%, and Cross came in at the bottom with 4.60%.
Following their elimination, the bottom housemates were seen watching the live show backstage. When the show host, Ebuka, announced Ilebaye as the winner, they appeared to be unhappy with the outcome.
One of them even mentioned that ‘they’, seemingly referring to the show’s organizers, gave Ilebaye the ‘game.’
Big Brother Naija star,Ike Onyema, has extended an olive branch to his fellow reality TV star, Maria Chike, following their clash over Mercy Eke.

At the time, Maria took to the microblogging platform X to mock Ike who had earlier stated that he would rather die than watch Mercy win the show again.
“@ikeonyema How far???? Mercy is a finalist and 99% possibly winning the show!” Maria tweeted.
Ike, who had his run on the show but was evicted earlier, didn’t take her comment lightly and fired back at her. He warned her to stay in her lane and labelled her a low-budget clown.
His response reads,
“Are you normal?
She go come out and we go dey alright
Can’t say the same about you
Don’t let me enter you
Because when I start, I won’t listen to Lekki boys
Low-budget clown” ICYMi, read here
Following Mercy’s failure to clinch victory in the just-concluded reality show, Ike went online to tell Maria that he has forgiven her. This comes after Mercy made it to the final two but unfortunately lost to her fellow housemate, Ilebaye.
Ike, who has been attributing Ilebaye’s victory to himself, citing that she gained more fans after he bullied her during his stay in the house, humorously referred to himself as a ‘Queenmaker’.”
The 31-year-old blogger tweeted,
“Good morning @MariaChike I forgive you.
I understand that Peace is not only possible, it is inevitable.

In the video, she is seen telling her partner that she’s craving fried rice, the young man then replied by saying ‘it’s only pregnant women that have cravings’. She however told him that it’s not her but ‘period cravings’.

A young woman from Brisbane, Australia, has shared the story of how she took the initiative to ask out her mail delivery guy through text message even before meeting him in person.
In an interview with South West News Service, Tanatsa Lucas, 30, revealed that she felt a strong connection with the courier, who is now her husband, Corey Lucas, 28, after a brief phone conversation.
“I was doing my nails at the time, and my delivery driver called,” the mom of two remembered. “He was speaking really nicely on the phone and was very respectful.”
“I could tell even being on the phone with him for less than a minute that there was just something different about him,” Tanatsa, a native of Zimbabwe, said.
Corey’s smooth talk over the phone prompted her to shoot her shot at him and ask him out for a drink.
“I asked him if he would mind dropping the package outside my apartment, as I was going to be going out soon,” she said. “Something inside me was telling me to shoot my shot and ask him out.”
“I was newly single. I don’t know what happened, but something just came over me and I just thought, ‘I may as well ask — you never know,’” Tanatsa said.
Barely an hour after Corey delivered her package, Tanatsa sent him a text message that reads, “You single by any chance? Haha.” Fortunately for her, he was also single and ready to mingle.
Tanatsa said she wanted to act like the character Paulette, played by Jennifer Coolidge in “Legally Blonde,” who had a crush on a UPS deliveryman portrayed by actor Bruce Thomas in the 2001 film.
After confirming his relationship status, Tanatsa and Corey went out for a beer at a local bar.
“It went really well; he was saying all the right things. We just totally clicked from our first meeting,” said Tanatsa. “He came back to my apartment, but nothing happened.”
However, things took a massive twist when she got pregnant three months later.
“That was not at all planned,” Tanatsa insisted. “I thought, ‘Oh s–t.’”
She said she was initially worried that her new lover would be upset about the pregnancy but she was relieved when he asked her to marry him.
“It was only six months after our first meet-up, so I was blown away, but I said yes,” Tanatsa gushed.
The couple got married in December 2020. A few months later, in June 2021, they welcomed their first son, Archie, who is now 2 years old. They also welcomed their second son, Theodore, in August 2023.
“We grew to love each other even more after our second baby,” she said. “We still had our challenges, I had post-natal depression after our first baby, but we developed an understanding and are doing great.
“The only difference is before we had kids it was all about us — we now have to balance it out,” added Tanatsa. “We are really hands-on with the kids together; it’s really nice.”
Anita Brown, the American woman who claims to be pregnant for Nigerian singer Davido, has publicly apologized to the singer’s wife, Chioma Adeleke.
This comes weeks after she made derogatory comments about Chioma on social media, stating that Chioma had undergone plastic surgery to achieve her curvaceous body, but it still ended up looking like ‘trash.’
She also implied that Davido wouldn’t have married Chioma if they hadn’t lost their son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, who tragically drowned in a swimming pool in October 2022.
Recall that Anita also released a song in which she advocated for Chioma’s freedom from what she described as a ‘toxic situation.’
Anita, who went on a rant for days and repeatedly criticized the singer and his wife, has now expressed remorse and tendered an apology to Chioma.
In a recent post on her Instagram page, Anita disclosed that she is currently going through a traumatic experience but doesn’t want to share details.
She added that she feels sorry for how she treated Chioma, acknowledging that losing a child and being hurt by someone’s partner is a terrible thing.
Anita wrote,
“I am going through a traumatic & tragic time in my life. I honestly don’t want to speak on it & don’t need to, or have to speak on it. It’s too much to bear right now. Im disquieted by all of the events that have taken place. The only thing i will say is i regret that i let my pain and feelings of betrayal allow me to turn me against another woman. So, i apologize to Chioma. / never intended to speak on you or your child. Losing is never a good feeling, being hurt by someone you love and care about is not a good feeling.
Moving forward I would prefer to be known for the light i bring into the world.
Peace & Love”

‘I’ve sort of got quite close friends with Russell Crowe over the years and he is really close with Snoop Dogg.’
‘I don’t really smoke at all but I was in the dressing room and they were just like blunt for blunt for blunt for blunt. I was like, I guess at some point during the night, I have to, just to say I smoked with Snoop Dogg.
‘He was like, “Do you want some?” so I have a bit and I was like, I don’t feel too bad, this is good. Then I have a bit more, and then I have a bit more, and then I have a bit more.
‘I just remember looking at him and being like, I can’t see right now.’

Reality TV star, actress and model, Beverly Osu has declared that she was the first person to be addressed as a “video vixen” in Nigeria.

Popular comedian and actor, Bright Okpocha, better known as Basketmouth, has tendered a public apology to his colleague, AY Makun, over their long-standing beef.
In March, AY had revealed in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo that it was N30,000 that caused his lingering rift with Basket Mouth.
His words,
“Now, something funny happened, one of the gigs per se, I got his endorsement to go stand in for him. Usually, what we get that time is N30,000, and that amount of money was everything to me. It would buy me my pack of noodles, recharge card, fuel for my car and generator. I would also avail myself of the opportunity to pay one or two people to do one or two skits that I can quickly put out. So, I got this job but the people were not too happy to see me at the venue because they were expecting Basketmouth.
Long story short, the guy was later happy with my performance and there was an exchange of numbers and I left. This gig came through one of Basketmouth’s guys. Two weeks running, I had not seen N30,000 and I was starving, as a bachelor, I had nothing. So, I decided to ask for N30,000 and he said the person had not paid.
“And then me l was like, ahahn… but this person na, shebi you tell me say you were impressed and happy? Give my oga hin money na, make my oga take settle me and all of that. Me,I dont care if you give Basket 100k for the job but my 30k is my 30k.
“It was very funny to now hear from them knowing that this full payment has been made long before the event.
“I said ‘O-kay, is that the situation?’. So I forwarded this one’s message to this one and vice versa. So they now started fighting each other and all of that. I didn’t do that because I wanted to get at Basketmouth per say. I did that because I was hungry, I was hustling and needed food on the table at the time.”

Recall that the Marlian Music boss was recently heavily criticized on social media for his alleged involvement in the harassment and assault of his deceased former record label signee, Mohbad.
This controversy arose after videos of Mohbad being bullied by individuals purportedly connected to Naira Marley surfaced online following his tragic demise.
This incident sparked outrage among Nigerians, leading to many fans unfollowing the singer on his various social media platforms.
While the anger has slowly subsided, Teebillz recently took to his Instagram page to make a case for Naira Marley, stating that he is too young and talented to be cancelled.
He added that Naira Marley gave Mohbad, also known as Imole, a chance when no one knew him, but now people are turning their backs on him.
In a now-deleted posted, Teebillz, who was formerly married to singer Tiwa Savage, wrote,
“#Too young too talented to throw under the bus of cancel culture! One of the best writers of the new age! Guilty by association is not a deliberate crime to me.
I pray ppl forgives Naira Marley off his shortcomings and I hope God gives him a 2nd chance to attain his blessings as a bonified leader and influencer! Just yesterday when everyone and their mama was a glorified Marlian……. Naira belived and invested in Imole’s talent when none of the after death advocates of love did….!!! May our creator bless us where we lack knowledge and wisdom!”
Nigerian disc jockey and activist, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, professionally known as DJ Switch, has criticized Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), for consistently urging Nigerians to pray for the country.
Taking to the microblogging platform X, DJ Switch accused the clergyman of always calling for prayers for the country but never addressing the root causes of the nation’s problems. She pointed out that even Jesus Christ called out corruption in his time.
She tweeted,
“Pastor Adeboye constantly urging Nigerians to pray for Nigeria… but rarely calls out the cause of Nigeria’s woes! Rarely calls them out for a failure to serve. The Jesus you worship served and called out corruption point blank! Some of una go say touch not my anointed! Anointing wey no dey anoint.”
This drew criticism from some followers of the renowned clergyman. In response to one of her critics, DJ Switch clarified that she doesn’t expect Pastor Adeboye to curse Nigeria but to address the individuals responsible for the nation’s stagnation.
She wrote in a follow-up tweet,
“I expect him to curse the people that have plunged Nigeria into the deep poverty, corruption, lawlessness, backwardness, thuggery, terrorism and suffering many Nigerians are experiencing but because your brain is the size of a lint, I understand that you can only think in strands. Maybe spend some time, do some light reading to better to enhance your cognitive skills… only then can you begin to grasp the concept that a knife can either be a tool or a weapon! It all depends on who’s handling it. Happy dependence day!”

Reality tv star, Angel Smith has stated that if her colleague and love interest, Somadina Anyama, also known as Soma, makes a marriage proposal, she is willing to accept it.
In an interview with TVC, the former Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate made this claim and said that her relationship with Soma there was real and not just a ploy.
Angel asserted that she doesn’t give a damn about what other people think or say about their relationship since she values what they have together and wants it to last.
She said;
“What we [I and Soma] had in the house was very real. He might not be my person, honestly. We might not end up together. We might not get married. We may not end at that stage.
But if he does then yes, I’m open to that. So, for now, I would say he is my person at the moment. And he’s a sweetheart and I hope people know that he’s a sweetheart.
For me, I’m living in the moment. There’s no end goal for me. I enjoy this now. If it goes well, good. But if it doesn’t, we try again. Love shouldn’t end with one person. I really don’t care about people’s opinions. What I care about is my feelings.”
Veteran Nigerian comedian, Okey Bakassi, has disclosed that he received offers to sell narcotics both in Nigeria and overseas.
Bakassi revealed this during an interview with Channels TV, when he described how con artists and drug dealers tried to sway him with alluring promises.
The Nollywood actor stated that one should anticipate being contacted with such proposals and deals as a performer in Nigeria.
Bakassi claims that despite the lucrative nature of the drug trade, he turned down the offer out of respect for the law.
He also mentioned how those involved would appear in a celebrity’s hotel room and begin discussing drug sales as if it were a regular business that “everyone does.”
He said,
“When I came to Lagos as a young man, I was tempted by different people in so many ways. And I’m talking about fraudsters and drug dealers.
I was approached. When you are in entertainment, you will be approached to peddle drugs. I have been approached overseas, I have been approached in Nigeria by drug dealers.
They will just show up in your hotel and talk business. They will tell you other people who are doing it and making money. But it is dangerous.
For me, I want to be able to sleep well without being afraid of the police or any law enforcement agencies. So I have tried from day one to keep things simple and be happy.”
