The boyfriend is here on Twitter as well. It has been 6 months now that we went separate ways. There is more to this story that I can talk about, it will bring me to tears,” he added.
Ghanaian singer,Fantana, has fired back at Ugandan socialite, Zari Hassan, after she called out and ‘cancelled’ her baby daddy, Diamond Platnumz.
It will be recalled that Zari, who claimed to be a billionaire, cancelled the Tanzanian singer over what he said to get down with Fantana in the newly released season of Netflix show ‘Young, Famous, and African’.
Diamond had told Fantana that Zari, who he shares two children with, is obsessed with him and wants to have more children with him, just before he slept with Fantana during the unscripted show.
This didn’t sit well with Zari, who recently tied the knot with her younger lover, and she lambasted and accused him of living for clout. She also claimed Fantana has a failed music career despite undergoing five liposuctions .
Reacting, the Ghanaian singer dragged Zari to filth and stated that the socialite reconstructed her body to look like her and is also lying about being a billionaire.
“Do u know what it means to be a billionaire? i guess their just handing out billionaire status title for free
• someone please give this lady her medication bbls? you literally have reconstructed your entire body to look like me. have you seen where your belly button is • failed career? what did you accomplish when you were 25? you found access to an iPhone and bought internet and built a fake ass life, and let’s not forget your sex tape since you think you’re better than everyone, & now vou’re married to a high school boy. I look like a she he? you literally SHAKE anytime you see me, be forreal”
Popular street artist, Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as Portable has publicly criticized his colleague, Spyro after the latter stated that he could not collaborate with him.
Speaking in a video online, Portable pointed out that the singer is still considered an upcoming artist and should therefore exhibit humility.
He strongly criticized Spyro for declining to collaborate on a piece of music together based on the difference in their musical styles.
Sharing the video on his Instagram page, he wrote;
“Them won disgrace me Thank God Say Man No Be God ZAZUU can’t you see am shining Akoi Grace Wey No Dey Disgrace .
Aparo You never make am you dey form Ajebo IKA OF AFRICA IKA Talk IKA Understand .”
He said;
“Spyro ‘Who’s Your Guy’, you never blow na. You know how many hits I have? You know how many shows I’ve performed? You know how many features I have? You wey na only one song you get and you song can’t be mimed. I can sing love song; all song and pattern.
“Wetin you dey sing? You sing pass Michael Jackson? Drop chorus, you said you no fit drop chorus say I no fit sing your pattern.”
Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, better known as Spyro has publicly stated his position towards recording a song with Portable.
In a recent interview with Cool FM, Lagos, Spyro strongly asserted that Portable is the one musician he will never collaborate with.
He mentioned their divergent musical tastes as the main deterrent, implying that if he wrote a song for Portable, he wouldn’t be able to play it well.
The show host, Do2tun threw the question at the fast-rising singer, “Who’s that artiste you can’t do music with?”
“Not because I have an issue with him but because our paths just don’t cross. Our kind of music don’t align. He won’t be able to deliver the kind of music I will write for him because it’s not its style,” he said.
When asked if he thinks Portable is a good singer, Spyro stated, “I think Portable is good. It’s intentional when people do the type of music portable does.”
Reality TV star, Tega Dominic has opined that if men haven’t helped their partners achieve a goal in their lives, then the lady has every right to stay or walk away from the relationship.
Sharing a lengthy piece on her social media, she stated that a woman could realize that a man had done nothing for her and be absolutely right.
According to her, despite any material favors and generosity a guy may have given her, he should only feel fully satisfied if he has assisted her in making a great achievement.
She wrote;
“You can be with a woman for years and she will wake-up and say you have never done anything for her and she will be absolutely right.
Forget expensive trips and expensive shopping, if you haven’t influenced your woman’s life for all those years, or given her something to better her life, trust me you haven’t started anything. Yes you can buy all that, travel 1st class, but you haven’t impacted or invested in her, again you haven’t started anything.. I know you’d say in this selfish and entitled generation, yes but in it still lies women with virtue who are ready to put in the work, but why would you even date an entitled fellow for years and not see it, then you don’t even know what you seek. You’d see women spoiling their men, do you think it came from sand? He poured mightily in her financially or otherwise.. Again, focus on giving your woman a life if she doesn’t have one and is willing to have one, then live happily ever after
Same goes to the women, if you find someone with direction and not entitled, and you are in a position to fill in the gab and raise him, then do it, you’d be happy you did. Women also sponsor men although they are sm but as long as he med you happy At a time in your life or makes you happy, then go ahead and lift that man, and live happily ever after. The owners of the msg will get it, stop working yourself up if you believe in the msg.. no be me do you.”

She pleaded with people to learn to accept her for who she is since she isn’t going anywhere, for the benefit of their mental health.
She wrote;

If you guys can accept unique Nigerians like
Speed Darlington and Portable, why can’t you accept me?
Aren’t you people tired of insulting me everyday?
I woke up to insults everywhere; my comment section, my DMs, blogs…
Why can’t you guys just accept that I love to be uniquely different?
Some of you have gone ahead to say I’m Tiannah’s Lab Rat, no I’m not. What I ask for is exactly what I get.

For the sake of your mental well-being I’m appealing to Ya’ll to accept me as I am, because I’m going to be here for a long time and I have no intention to change.

The United Kingdom has made plans to implement new regulations that will likely make it impossible for Nigerian students and other foreign nationals studying there to bring their families with them.
This crackdown is anticipated to be launched this week, according to an exclusive story by The Sun UK.
These new rules will make it illegal for master’s students and many other postgraduate students to bring their families to the UK.
According to the UK media outlet, PhD students, who normally study degrees lasting between three and five years and are highly talented, are exempt from the prohibition.
These changes are a result of the recent spike in net migration to the UK, which reached an astounding 1 million. Tory MPs have urged Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to act and handle the rising numbers.
UK officials are expected to announce the adoption of harsher immigration restrictions on Tuesday or Wednesday in an effort to address the growing inflow.
The Sun reports that “Rishi Sunak is expected to come out fighting on immigration – pointing out they are figures he inherited as they date back to the year ending December 2022 – two months after he became PM.
“There has been an explosion in the number of people coming to Britain piggybacking on their relative’s student visa.
“Students brought 135,788 family members to Britain last year – nine times more than in 2019.
“Last year, 59,053 Nigerian students brought over 60,923 relatives.”
Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, better known as Spyro has disclosed that he obtained a bank loan to finance his song with Mayorkun and Davido.
The rising artiste featured Omo Baba Olowo and Mayorkun on a single titled ‘Funke’ in 2018, but the commercial success of the song was short-lived.
Spyro said in a recent interview with Cool FM that he struggled for three years to pay back the debt.
The “Who’s Your Guy” crooner said that the collaboration propelled him into the public eye, but fell off after the song lost the initial momentum.
Spyro said;
“When I dropped ‘Funke’ and the song popped. I had David [Davido], I had Mayorkun on the song. And after dropping ‘Funke’ and my career still went down, I’m like, ‘Oh! Am I ever gonna rise again?’
I popped but I just came down because there was no structure. There was nothing. I took a loan from the bank to finance that particular record while I was still signed to Upfront & Personal. When that period passed, I now had to start paying for the loan. That was really difficult because I paid for like three years.”
Nigerian superstar singer, Davido has disclosed some of the reasons he married his wife, Chioma.
Speaking during an interview with The Beat Atlanta, the singer who was asked “What is the key to happiness in finding your partner” revealed that it was being with someone you are comfortable with.
According to him, he and Chioma grew up together because he met her while he was still in his first year of college and they were very comfortable with each other.
Davido claimed that Chioma had become a part of him and advised others to choose a compatible spouse since he and his wife were a match made in heaven.
Davido said that he has known Chioma for close to 20 years and that she is an excellent cook. She was the best decision he had ever made, he said in his conclusion.
Watch him speak below,
Just recently, Davido penned a heartfelt note to his wife, Chioma, as he finally released his highly anticipated album, ‘Timeless.’
Following a long musical hiatus, the 30 BG boss returned to the music scene with this master piece. The 17-track album features Nigerian and international artistes, including Asake, Fave, Focalistic, and Angelique Kidjo, among others.
In the midst of the buzz and excitement surrounding the project, Davido took a moment to pay tribute to the woman who has stood by him through thick and thin—his wife, Chioma.
In a post on his social media accounts, Davido referred to Chioma as “the strongest woman I know”, and praised her for her unwavering support.
Popular clergyman, Kingsley Okonkwo has asserted that the idea of men being inherently wired to cheat is nothing more than a lie from hell.
Taking to his Twitter handle on Saturday, May 20, Kingsley pointed out that men’s sexual disposition differs from that of women due to various reasons, one of which is the higher sex drives men tend to have.
While acknowledging that men may be more prone to sexual temptations than women, he made it clear that this does not justify infidelity or causing harm to someone they truly love.
In his words,
“NO MAN is wired to cheat, don’t believe that lie from hell. However there seems to be proof that men are more prone to sexual temptation than women, OF COURSE women are tempted too. But clearly the sexual proclivity of men is VERY different from women here are some reasons
#1 Men have a higher sex drive than women, men have a higher dose of testosterone which is the sex hormone
#2 Men are capable of enjoying sex without any emotional connection, hence why prostitution is mainly men funded
#3 Men are visually stimulated , so just being a man in today’s world is an automatic temptation because your view is attacked daily
However all this is NEVER an excuse to cheat and hurt someone you claim you love, SELF CONTROL by God’s grace is how to go. Prov 25:28 MSG – A person without self-control is like a house with its doors and windows knocked out.”
Pastor Kingsley’s post comes after legendary Nigerian singer, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, stated that men are wired to cheat. ICYMI, Read here.
Nigerian fashion designer Jeremiah Ogbodo, popularly known as Swanky Jerry, has expressed his disappointment with singer 2Baba for failing to address the misunderstanding between him and his wife, Annie Idibia.
Swanky who used to be best friends with Annie, but appears to be currently at odds with her, noted that the singer’s attitude makes him wonder whether he is comfortable with their friendship.
Swanky voiced his concerns on the second season of the Young, Famous & African reality show, during a chat with 2Face and other cast of the show.
“I kind of feel weird that he [2Baba] didn’t reach out to me during the whole stretch of me and Annie, like situation. And I just really wanted to know like what’s up?
“I feel like the quickest person that would have been able to resolve our misunderstanding would probably have been him [2Baba].
“I just felt like you were not there for me at that time. I just really wanted to get clarity, like, do you f*ck with this relationship at all?” He said.
2Baba, visibly angered by the question, responded sharply, “I feel some kind of way for you to ask me that. Both of you are adults, right? I wasn’t even aware of what was happening. I am still friends with you, and I am still her husband. I don’t care about the issues you two have. Resolve that conflict. Don’t drag me into any nonsense.”
The singer found Swanky’s question disrespectful, stating that Swanky could have approached him directly via telephone or other means to draw his attention to the ongoing dispute between him and his wife, Annie.

Veteran Nollywood actor, Alhaji Kareem Adepoju, popularly known as Baba Wande, has opened up about how he was betrayed by veteran filmmaker Tunde Kelani.
Baba Wande shared his grievances during a recent interview with BBC News Yoruba, where he discussed the reasons behind the delayed release of the sequel to their Yoruba movie “Ti Oluwa Nile.”
According to Baba Wande, he and Tunde Kelani had a verbal agreement stating that he would receive 30% of the profits from the first installment. However, he was given a mere 15,000 out of the 180,000 that was earned.
Expressing his shock and deep disappointment, Baba Wande said,
“I was taken aback and greatly demoralized when I received 15,000 through Kelani’s manager from the total sum of 180,000 we made from the initial sales.”
Baba Wande further revealed that Kelani, who was once his good friend, justified this by explaining that others needed to share in the profits.

“The success of the album has been part of my healing process. After like three months [after Ifeanyi’s demise] I was able to work again. Shootouts to all the producers that came through.”

According to Dorathy, she had quit her job out of frustration after being demoted for what she considered a ridiculous reason and had no idea where she would get money for it but planned to travel to Canada.
She revealed that she was unable to write the exam the next year because of big brother but everything eventually fell into place.
She wrote;
“Back in 2019, I had just quit my job out of frustration of being demoted to front desk because of the most ridiculous reason, it was one of the most difficult time in my life because I was so confused about what I wanted to do with my life.
Made a decision to apply to school in Canada and i honestly didn’t know where the money was going to come from but I bought the ielts form and was preparing for the exam.
On this random day a friend of my sister visited us, he had just gotten his passport back from the Canadian embassy, so he came so we could celebrate. I took a little piece of the nylon his passport came in and hung it by my window.
Wasn’t sure how it was going to happen but I woke up every day and drew strength from that piece of nylon my sister would laugh at me and ask me why I’d be talking to a piece of nylon I didn’t care. I just kept hanging in there 2020 came and I was going to write my exam but big brother happened.
Fast forward to 2023 and I’m just looking at it and smiling. Life is funny.
Sharing this because it meant a lot to me at some point in my life and I’m grateful to God.

Popular South African media personality, Bonang Matheba, has bragged about sleeping with the biggest stars in Africa.
She stated this in a recent episode of reality TV show ‘Young, Famous and African’, while having a conversation with her fellow stars.
According to her, women should sleep with any man they desire without fearing societal judgement and stereotype.
Using herself as an example, she said she has fucked majority of the biggest male celebrities in Africa and she is still standing.
She stated this in response to her co-star, Loius, who advised another co-star on the show, Fantana, to focus on her music and not date Tanzanian singer, Diamond Plantnumz, who has six children with multiple women including co-star, Zari Hassan.
According to Louis, Fantana is very talented and he wants her to be known for her music and not as Diamond’s side chic or a fling.
Bonang, however, didn’t agree with Louis’s advice, arguing that this is the 21st century and men are not the only ones who have checklists.
She added that she has a long list of men she has slept with and walked away from, and advised Fantana to do as she pleases and that if she wants to sleep with Diamond Platnumz, she should.

Embattled Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti, who is now being confined at the State Criminal, Investigations, and Intelligence Department, SCIID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos on the orders of the Yaba Chief Magistrate Court for attacking a police officer has been named the “General Overseer” of his cell by the prisoners.
According to Vanguard, he reportedly received a copy of the Holy Bible as a token of his authority. However, since the convicts originally rejected him, his selection as the GO wasn’t without turmoil.
Seun was ordered to be arrested by Inspector-General of Police Alkali Baba after he was seen on camera hitting a police officer on the Third Mainland bridge on May 13.
He, however, surrendered to the police on Monday, May 15, while being accompanied by his attorneys, and on Tuesday, when he was charged, the Sabo, Yaba Chief Magistrate Court ordered his remand.
According to the account, Seun’s initial shock came from the raspy, deep baritone voice of the inmate leader telling him to maintain standing when he was led to the cell to join other suspected offenders.
A problem sprang out within the cell a short while later after it was reported that the other prisoners had rejected him. The prisoners were pounding on their metal security door, demanding that Seun be removed from the cell.
According to sources cited in the story, Seun began pleading for quiet as the inmates’ outcry became louder. At that point, he realized that the disturbance his presence had created and the convicts’ rejection of him had received little to no attention from the police guards. He apparently pledged to provide them N25,000 at that time, and he was ordered to present it right away. He had to beg for a phone in order to call his wife, who came right away with the money and gave it to their leader. After that, the prisoners welcomed Seun and gave him a place to sit down.
Seun apparently became so enraged by the unpleasant events that had occurred that he refused to eat any of the food that was served to him, including food that his wife brought. The hunger strike lasted for over a day and a half before he began eating.
The drama’s conclusion Came when the prisoners subsequently named him the cell’s General Overseer and gave him a bible. That indicates that he is currently leading the prisoners in prayer whenever the situation calls for it, at which point they would all chant, “GO, GO.”
Ascending the steps to the office of the responsible Deputy Commissioner of Police, Waheed Ayilara, on Friday afternoon, Seun was apparently observed holding the Bible securely in his left hand. Later, he was taken back into the cell after descending the steps.
Sources revealed that the singer’s elder brother Femi, other family members, his attorneys, and a few friends have all paid the musician a visit.
