I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, or a television show. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.

To them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I’m able to leave you this video.

I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way, and y’all know they kept it airtight, they didn’t let nothing out, they protected me, and that’s what I hope that everyone could have in moments like these. But, I’m coming back, and I am able to work.”

“I don’t care about trolls, my husband’s opinion matters the most to me” – BamBam

Reality TV star, Bamike Adenibuyan, also known as BamBam, has stated that she is just concerned with her husband’s opinions and not with what online trolls say.

The mother of two shared this in an interview with Punch Saturday Beats while talking about her feelings regarding cyberbullies and their ideas.

According to her, everyone had the right to have and express any opinions they choose, but those that mean most to her are those of her spouse, Teddy A.

She said;

“I do not care about trolls (cyber bullies), because it is important that the world knows that everyone is entitled to their opinions. It will only matter if the troll is from my mother and my father. Even at that, what matters the most is what I feel about myself. My husband is the only one who can hurt me with his words, because I love him so much. His opinion matters the most to me. I do not live for trolls, unless I want to be suicidal.”

During the conversation, BamBam mentioned her desire to star in and direct her own films.

“I am really passionate about filmmaking. Acting and producing my own films are really something that I look forward to doing. I am currently working with some film producers to do something. I have some stories I have written but the budget is much. I also have an interest in reality shows, and I am working on producing some.”

“We contributed to pay our rent in Lagos” – Brother of deceased influencer Austa debunks claim of boyfriend buying them a house

Austa debunks

The brother of the Nigerian influencer who was brutally murdered by her boyfriend, Killaboi, has debunked viral claims that the accused bought them a house.

Recall that Austa, who boasted over hundred thousand followers, was stabbed to death by her boyfriend in Lagos recently over alleged betrayal and infidelity.

Killaboi, who was once arrested by EFFC in connection with fraud, caused a significant uproar on social media when he publicly confessed to killing her.

 Brother of deceased influencer Austa

At the time, online reports suggested that he was the one financing her lifestyle and even bought a house for her and her mother. It was claimed that her father rejected the property, but she and her mother accepted the house.

However, Austa’s brother has now come out to refute the viral reports making rounds on social media. He clarified that they lost their father when Austa was only six months, rendering claims that he rejected a house gift false.

 Brother of deceased influencer Austa

He also revealed that they were residing in a rented apartment in Maryland, Lagos, where they collectively contributed money each month to cover the rent. This contradicts the assertions suggesting that they were living in a house purchased by her boyfriend.

He wrote in part,

“Life has been hard for me. I always never understood why fate was so cruel to me. Everything I love, burns. Its my lot, the cards Life dealt me, but I’m still in this Casino, I love the thrill of the game. I love you guys too, my in was always comedy, and it made it worthwhile. I have unfortunately been discovered on twitter, if you don’t hear from me, I’ll be fine, if you do, I’d love to use the day to clear all the false news about my sister, my precious, my beloved. Bon Nuit. I remember when she told me she had saved half of the money she had to by a car. I slept on the blockchain for weeks to complete that money and made sure she drove a Benz. I was hungry in school, but I sent her every last penny I had. I still can’t drive but I did that, I don’t own a vehicle. She was the love of my life, I’d have done anything she wanted. I loved her with all my heart in my own way. Sad to see what all these people are saying, but I guess all is fair, it’s the nature of this world. also quite ridiculous that the internet somehow managed to arrive at that “he bought her family a house” narrative. My mum, my sister and I still make monthly contributions amongst ourselves to afford our rented apartment in Maryland. Blood, Sweat, Hardwork and Tears, it’s all.”

US-based Nigerian singer and dancer, Korra Obidi’s ex-husband, Justin Dean, has shared new details of their estranged relationship while clearing misconceptions about him.

During a recent live session, Justin Dean stated that he’s finally coming out to share his own side of the story because he’s tired of the lies.

According to Dean, Korra has made several false accusations against him in the past for her own financial gains. He claimed she sold different lies about him over the past two years to boost her earnings on Facebook.

Contrary to Korra’s allegations, Dean maintained that he was a devoted husband who dedicated his life to her happiness and the growth of her career.

Recounting how they met, Dean revealed that they met at a club in China, and their love blossomed within weeks.

He shared that during that time, Korra faced financial challenges, and her job hardly allowed her to pursue her passion for singing and dancing. It was then that he advised her to explore content creation to fully unleash her talents.

He later decided to relocate to Los Angeles solely because of Korra, as the city is renowned for its thriving entertainment industry.

He stressed that he provided unwavering moral support to Korra, particularly during times when she felt disheartened by the initial low engagement on her content creations.

He claimed he actively participated in her content creation journey, assisting with filming, editing, and brainstorming ideas to make her content more appealing to online audiences.

However, he claimed that despite his supportive efforts, she changed completely after she achieved success, which ultimately led to the crash of their marriage.

Sharing the video on his Facebook page, he wrote, “Time to defend myself and tell my side of story, I’m tired of the lies”.

In other news, Yvonne Jegede, has called out her ex-husband, Kunle Fawole, otherwise known as Abounce, for neglecting their son, Xavier, since his birth.

The actress, who married her now-ex-husband, Abounce, in February 2017 and welcomed a son with him in November 2018, accused him of being a deadbeat dad who has never made an effort to see his child or speak to him.

Speaking in a recent interview with actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, Yvonne said Kunle only came around to acknowledge their son when she threatened that she would remove his surname from Xavier’s name if he didn’t show up.

She said she had to insist that their son bear her and his father’s surnames, Jegede-Fawole, because she was the one who suffered so much and cleared her account to go to America to birth him.

Yvonne Jegede, who revealed that she and her ex-husband, Kunle, were best friends before they tied the knot, said what led to the crash of their marriage was not really worth it.

However, if she had stayed in the marriage just because of the fear of what people would say, she would have been unhappy.

According to her, women endure a lot during childbirth, and it is only right for men to treat them better regardless of the situation.

She wrote, “Men, if you conduct a DNA test on your baby and find out the child is not biologically yours, as long as you are still with the woman, it is your responsibility to take custody of the baby. It doesn’t change anything. Women go through a lot in childbirth, and women deserve better.”

Simi disclosed that during her time as a gospel artist, her typical performance fee ranged from N5,000 to N10,000, with the highest amount she ever received being N70,000.

However, at some point, she had to stop singing gospel music because the earnings were insufficient to cover studio sessions and promotions.

“I actually used to go to a lot of churches to perform. They will pay me like N5k, N10k. Do you know the highest amount of money I actually collected when I was doing gospel [music]? N70,000. And I felt like I had arrived. I still paid a 10 per cent tithe from the money.” She said.

In other news, Simi has revealed that she has never experienced heartbreak in a relationship.

The mother of one made this disclosure during a recent interview with reality star turned on-air personality, Tacha, on Cool FM in Lagos.

According to Simi, who is married to Afrobeats superstar Adekunle Gold, her heartbreak songs are not inspired by personal experiences since she has never gone through heartbreak herself.

On her latest heartbreak song, ‘Stranger,’ Simi jokingly emphasized that perhaps the reason she can create relatable music is because she is a champion for those who are heartbroken.
