You aren’t surprised right? Well, reports say Tonto Dikeh has left DBanj’s’ Record Label – DB Records.
She said this in a recently released trailer interview with Emma Emmerson of Golden Icons.
Tonto who is still in the United States rocked a white top and white jeans for her interview and spoke on being a new mum, marriage, her husband’s connection to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, her past relationships, her favourite actor (Genevieve Nnaji!) and loads more.
Tonto Dikeh ventured into music in October 2012, with the release of her singles, ‘Hi’ and ‘Itz Ova’, which got tongues wagging.
Tonto who has achieved remarkable success in Nollywood over the years, had taken the leap into music production, recording, and publishing, but a majority of her songs such as ‘Hi’, ‘Jeje’, and a few more, have received negative and, for the most part, malicious feedback from the Nigerian public.
This beautiful fella and the female beside him, Frank and Omoh will be walking down the aisle on the 26th of March but ahead of their wedding, they have Instagram buzzing with their cute love story of how they met on twitter.
Read below:

A bus conductor, Taheed Adekunle, who was accused of damaging a passenger’s scrotum during dispute over transportation fare, was on Thursday remanded in prison by a Tinubu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
Adekunle, 19, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to a charge of assault.
The Magistrate, Mr Ade Adefulire, ordered that the accused should be remanded in Kirikiri Prisons till the next date of adjournment for fact and sentencing.
The Prosecutor, ASP Ignatius Okeke, told the court that the accused committed the offence on March 12 at about 5:50pm at Ajah Motor Park in Lagos.
Okeke said that the accused during a dispute with a passenger, Samuel Amosun, over the high price of transportation fare from Ajah to Oshodi, kicked Amosun in the scrotum.
He said that the victim was presently on admission in the hospital with swollen scrotum.
Okeke said that the offence contravened Section 171 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
The Magistrate adjourned the case till March 21 for sentencing.
Nollywood movie veteran, Grace Amah has joined thousands of fans and colleagues to console fellow actress, Ibinabo Fiberesima over her conviction for the murder of Dr Giwa.
She wrote:
Those who want Ibinabo in jail are those who have been dwarfed by her intimidating credentials and humanitarian services.
It may be argued that the law has taken its course, yes. So it seems, but that is the law of man. Daniel was put in prison as recorded in the Scripture bcos King Darius was convinced that he should be put to death.
God visited Daniel in prison and released him. Peter was put into prison by Herod and was bound in between by two soldiers, and behold an Angel of the Lord appeared and struck the cell with lightening and the chains on him fell and he was released.
All this indicates that the law of God is more and stronger than the law of man. The family of Dr. Suraj may have got reprieve by the judgement of the Court, but better reprieve will be that of peace between Ibinabo and Suraj family.
What was needed ab initio was an understanding where Mrs Ibinabo takes over some responsibilities for the family of the deceased through providing resources or scholarship for one or two children of the deceased and some form help to the widow.
That is still an opening that could be accessed. Even 5 years imprisonment can never bring back the deceased. The civil law may have be fulfilled but by the judgement and imprisonment of Ibinabo, but in our human relations, there remains a permanent emotional and psychological scar.
What is the way forward; let the family of Dr. Suraj find reason to go further than legal satisfaction.
It is Ibinabo Fiberesima today, who knows the next tomorrow? Let us note also that as celebrities we have to be very careful and learn from this because It shows also that the law neither respect persons nor status and perhaps Nigeria is becoming a nation where people still have hope in the legal process to obtain justice no matter how long.
This matter is certainly beyond politics of AGN and personality conflict. #ISTAND4IB #PRAY4IB #PRAY4GIWASFAMILY #GODBLESSNIGERIA
American singer, Jhene Aiko who was revealed she married a Yoruba man named Oladipo Omishore, also known as DotDaGenius, a music producer, yesterday tweeted in Yoruba language as she responded to her husband tweets.
Proud new mother/Nollywood actress, Uche Jombo shared this epic throwback photo of herself from 10 years ago (2006) when she still had her “Kim” in her.
A convicted killer who survived an attempt to execute him for his crimes seven years ago has been told he will be sent to the death chamber again.
The Ohio Supreme Court ruled 4 – 3 in favour of the state having a second chance to kill Romell Broom.
In 2009 the 59-year-old’s execution had to be called off after two hours when officials failed 18 times to attach intravenous needles to administer the lethal dose used in the process.
He is set to become the first person on which a second execution has been attempted in America since the US Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976.
Broom’s lawyers had argued it would violate America’s 8th Amendment’s cruel and unusual punishment statute and the 5th Amendment’s right against double jeopardy.
Prosecutors responded saying the killer’s argument carried no weight as the lethal drugs did not enter his veins while executioners unsuccessfully tried to hook up an IV.
Broom was convicted in 1984 of abducting, raping and killing Tryna Middleton, 14, who he snatched of the street as she walked home from an American football game in East Cleveland, Ohio.
He also had convictions for robbery, aggravated robbery and four counts of kidnap of a boy as well as another conviction of raping a girl. No date has been set for his execution.

Reggae legend, Majek Fashek, on Sunday, 13th March attended the Christ Living Apostolic Ministries (CLAM) in Lagos.
During the service, Majek Fashek shared the testimony of his deliverance from drugs while revealing that CLAM Senior Pastor, Apostle Wole Oladiyun supported him and came to his rescue.
“My testimony is that Jesus Christ is Lord, Jesus Christ is the Master, you know before I went to Abuja for my rehab, Baba Oladiyun here came to my rescue, most church won’t do that.”
“May God bless him and keep this ministry, materials and spiritual are two different thing, because Jesus Christ cannot come from Heaven to heal you. This Baba is a ‘correct prophet.”
Ghanaian actor, Majid Michel, has always been associated as the ladies man because of the roles he plays in most movies, but the actor who is happily married for the past 11 years to his wife, Virna, is not the bad type of husband.
The actor, whom in some quarters has been perceived to be a womanizer, has denied sleeping with any actress in movies or ever engaged in extra marital affairs.
Majid, who has accrued lots of respect for himself stressed that he doesn’t engage himself in those stuffs because he respects the vow he made to his wife.
“Ladies don’t admire me, they admire the characters I play. If you think it’s you they want, then you are making a mistake.”
He continued:
“No producer calls me for movie role because of Majid, they call me because of my gift as an actor, so it’s not really your personality they like, and until you understand this, you will be fooled, and then get trapped,” he disclosed
15-year-old Rita Clement has been missing ever since she left for her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Agidingbi, Ikeja, last Thursday, March 10th.
PUNCH reports that the girl was abducted by unknown persons after she left home by 5.30am for the examination centre, but at 5pm, she sent a text message to her mother’s phone.
“Mummy, they took my phone and beat me up inside the bus. Mummy, I don’t know where they took me to. They made me sleep and said they will kill me if I ran,” the text message said. “Someone gave me my phone, saying I must return it before they came back. Mummy, please save me, please.”
The family members reported the case to the police officers at Ojodu Police Division and had since been transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja.
“Rita (Clement) finished from a college on Aina Street in the Ojodu area. She just concluded her SSCE; we then enrolled her for the UTME. Her father lives in Enugu,” her uncle Emeka Orazulike told PUNCH.
“The examinations board gave her that Thursday, by 6.30am, to sit for her exam. She was to sit at a centre in the Agidingbi area. On that day, as I was preparing for work around 6am, she met and told me that she was set to leave for the venue.
“I gave her N1,000 when she told me the centre was at Agidingbi. She would use only N100 for transport. I then left for work,” Orazulike continued.
“As I was coming back around 6.30pm, her mother called that she forwarded a message to my telephone. I then checked my phone and saw the scary message. I first went to the Area F Command, Ikeja, and was about making a statement when the Area Commander directed me to the Ojodu Police Division. We reported the matter on Friday at Ojodu, and the police there radioed other stations.”
Her uncle said he dialed her number, it rang all through Thursday and was not picked up. By Friday, it was switched off.
“The abductors might have whisked her away in the bus she boarded on that morning,” he uncle said. “She was used to going out. When she wrote her WAEC, her centre was at Giwa Oke-Aro, Agbado. She went there with her friends.
“That was why when she mentioned that she was going to Agidingbi for the UTME, I did not nurse any fear because it was just two bus stops from our area. If we knew that anything would happen, I would have taken her there myself,” he added.
PUNCH reports that the SARS commander assured the family she would be rescued. Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, is yet to comment on the case.
Popular magazine, TIME unveils its second annual list of “30 Most Influential People on the Internet,” which includes Kanye West, Drake, DJ Khaled, Kim Kardashian, Donald Trump, Cristiano Ronaldo, Caitlyn Jenner on March 16, 2016.
West makes the list because of his use of Twitter to pose questions about society and to promote himself as a musician, fashion designer and family man. The publication says the fact that he released The Life of Pablo strictly to the streaming service TIDAL is further evidence of his mastery of the Internet. West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, is also given a nod for her social media presence and mobile apps, which include Kimoji.
DJ Khaled was honored for mastering the art of Snapchat. The Miami artist provides his more than 20 million followers with keys to success from exercise tips to fan love. His popularity caught the attention of Miami’s mayor, Tomás Pedro Regalado, who gave him a key to the city in October. DJ Khaled released the I Changed a Lot album that same month.
TIME credits Donald Trump on redefining how political candidates use social media, for better and for worse. Although supporters value his candor, the GOP frontrunner has caught flack for tweeting insults at or about his rivals—alleging that Megyn Kelly is a “bimbo,” for example, and dismissing Marco Rubio as “Little Marco.”
Cristiano Ronaldo was profiled as the undisputed king of Facebook, touting some 110 million followers. He’s also only the third celebrity to reach 200 million combined followers across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Kim Kardashian West is one of the most-watched people on the planet, with more than 120 million followers across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. Most recently, she made headlines for posting, and then ardently defending, a series of nude selfies. “I am empowered by showing the world my flaws and not being afraid of what anyone is going to say about me,” she wrote. “And I hope that through this platform I have been given, I can encourage the same empowerment for girls and women all over the world.” The reality star also launched two new mobile apps in the past year, including Kimoji, which features icons of her famous derriere and “ugly cry” face.
Drake is named for his ability to create material that is easily digested by the Internet, such as the video for “Hotline Bling,” which was the subject of many memes, social media chatter and even inspired a Super Bowl 50 commercial. The Toronto rapper showed the power of the Internet when he performed “Back to Back,” his Meek Mill diss track at OVO Fest against a backdrop of Meek Mill memes.
