Nollywood actress Ruby Ojiakor has reappeared on social media after a month-long absence following the passing of her close friend, Junior Pope.

She took to her Instagram page to post a video montage featuring moments shared with the actor over the years. In her post, she admitted to experiencing a profound sense of grief, revealing that she had questioned her faith for the first time. Ruby expressed feelings of devastation, sorrow, and resentment, praying fervently for justice to be served to those responsible for Junior Pope’s death.

She noted how Junior Pope was like her brother from another mother and how he would always tell her they are from the same womb. Describing him as her hero, she expressed how heartbroken she is.

“For the first time in my life” I questioned my Maker (GOD)
SHATTERED
PAINED
BITTER.

Rumors are circulating that Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, one half of Psquare, and his girlfriend Ivy Ifeoma are anticipating the arrival of their first child. Online reports suggest that the couple, who have been in a relationship for more than two years, is awaiting the birth of a baby. If true, this would mark the singer’s fourth child, as he already has three children with his ex-wife, Anita Okoye.

Following the news, social media users have been left divided as many believe the model and influencer is trying to trap the singer with her pregnancy.

One Barbie Luxury wrote, “She wan use belle hook the guy

One Miz Choco Berry wrote, “Chai. Las Las na babymama na im

One Rochie Touch Cakes wrote, “Congratulations now welcome reality. Give him one year another side chick is replacing you

One Tayoed wrote, “Just like that Sha! I hope she is making the right decision

One I Am Farmer wrote, “She’s just 23yrs, God abeg. Age is just a number

One Deep Core Comedian wrote, “I feel like they married secretly cus I don’t want to believe this girl would willingly choose the babymama situation with Rudeboy

One Mhiz Sweetie wrote, “Person wey be say nothing wey she dey do with the guy she suppose avoid pregnancy. Now she’s pregnant, it won’t still change who he is”.

For several months, rumors of her pregnancy have circulated online, which the model has repeatedly denied. She humorously noted how speculation about her pregnancy seemed to have been ongoing since the year 1960.

During the holiday season, Ivy dispelled rumors of an engagement to the singer after she shared a photo flaunting a ring online.

Following his separation from his wife, Anita Okoye, Paul Okoye entered a relationship with Ivy Ifeoma. When discussing their relationship, he clarified that he had been single for four years before meeting Ivy and expressed intentions of marrying her.

In January, Ivy addressed the challenges of being in a relationship with a high-profile celebrity, admitting that negative comments online sometimes hurt her, but she tries to remain resilient. She recounted how negative comments began flooding in once she and Paul went public with their relationship, particularly hurtful accusations of being a homewrecker.

Ivy firmly stated that she had no involvement in Paul and Anita’s marriage breakdown and attributed the negative comments to misinformation. She emphasized that she entered a relationship with a single man.

Paul came to her defense, highlighting how some internet users seem to enjoy sensationalizing divorces and placing blame, even where it’s unwarranted, for entertainment purposes.

Former Big Brother Naija contestant Ahneeka has shared her thoughts on the ongoing online dispute between Level Up winner Phyna and the show’s organizers, Multichoice.

Phyna has been publicly addressing Multichoice for over two months now, claiming they owe her a substantial sum of money, including Bitcoins she alleges could be valued at over N100 million. Ahneeka weighed in on the matter during an interview, expressing her belief that nobody inherently deserves or should feel entitled to such money, regardless of their actions in the Big Brother house.

Ahneeka advised Phyna to seek internal guidance or engage in constructive dialogue rather than resorting to social media blackmail. She highlighted the common phenomenon of housemates feeling invincible due to their large social media followings post-show but emphasized the importance of maintaining a realistic understanding that post-Big Brother success requires continued effort and hustle.

Regarding Phyna’s claims of unpaid debts, Ahneeka suggested exploring peaceful avenues for resolution rather than escalating the situation online.

Nobody deserves that money, there is nothing you do in the house that makes you deserve the money”.

Ahneeka’s statement that Phyna didn’t deserve the money, was met with mixed reactions as many slammed her for it, noting how she was looking for Phyna’s trouble.

One Barokah House of Abaya wrote, “If Phyna reply make nobody talk ooo. Nobody should said she’s razzz ooo. Ehn Ehn

One Thick Fina wrote, “Wahala’, this one is looking for attention make Phyna no answer her

One Pink Larette wrote, “Nobody deserves the money, but you went on the show for the same money

One Queen Sarah Oliseh wrote, “Phyna don set camera

One Omaj Costello Designs wrote, “This is weak! It’s shame show and things were promised and people voted, if they can’t keep their part of the bargain then they should strap the show.

One Away2silence wrote, “When Phyna responds now, social media people will start throwing insults at her. You people will trigger someone then gaslight them later”.

One Bqeez UK wrote, “Blackmail them? Tooor

One Omelogo wrote, “Just busy speaking gibberish! Mtchewwwwww

Kemi Filani reported back in April that Phyna had publicly accused the Big Brother Naija franchise of owing her, as she had not yet received all her prizes and money. She emphasized her intention to focus on her own affairs to avoid being labeled as ungrateful.

Continuing her efforts to address the issue, Phyna involved the Practitioners of Content Creating, Skitmaking, and Influencers Guild (PCCSIGN), who sent a memorandum to the organizers urging them to honor their commitments to Phyna. The memo outlined the promises made by the show’s organizers that remained unfulfilled.

Phyna also confronted her fellow contestant, Khosi, who won BBTitans, after Khosi shared evidence of receiving her prize money. Phyna perceived this as an attempt to discredit her and criticized Khosi for deviating from the ethos of “Women supporting women.”

During an Instagram live session, the Edo-born star disclosed that she experienced depression following the reunion, attributing it to the difficulties she faced afterward. She alleged that she was not given the money and prizes she was owed, particularly her Bitcoin winnings, which she claimed amounted to over N90 million.

Former Big Brother Nigeria contestant Phyna recently took to the X platform to drop hints about her upcoming birthday. She mentioned that in 10 days, she would be celebrating her 27th birthday and reflected on how each year has been significant for her journey. Phyna expressed gratitude for the precious moments and acknowledged that both the good and bad experiences have played a role in shaping her into who she is today. She emphasized that every year has contributed to her growth and learning, stating that she has gleaned valuable lessons throughout her life.

However, it’s worth noting that just last April, Phyna criticized the Big Brother franchise for allegedly defaming her character. She questioned the franchise’s decision not to air certain clips from the reunion show, particularly the first day’s footage, and accused them of unfairly portraying her by focusing on her reactions in subsequent episodes. Phyna raised concerns about the handling of discussions about financial losses during the reunion and hinted at feeling provoked on the first day, which she claimed was not shown to viewers.

Afrobeat sensation Davido recently took to X-Platform to boast about his financial standing. In a statement that many speculate might be directed at his wife, Chioma, he emphasized the abundance of his wealth, suggesting that it’s beyond what any single individual could exhaust.

He stated, “The money I possess is so vast that even a specific person cannot deplete it entirely: ‘The money wey I get u no fit chop am finishhhhhhh’.”

In other news, it was reported in April 2024 by Kemi Filani that Davido is slated to headline the BET Awards alongside other renowned artists such as Cardi B, Sexy Red, and Gunna. This isn’t Davido’s first appearance at the BET Awards, as he has graced the stage in previous years. Additionally, Davido received international recognition from the Grammys this year, despite not securing a win in any of his nominated categories.

Addressing recent rumors of his arrest, Davido took to his Instagram story a few months ago to refute the claims, asserting that they were entirely false. He clarified that he has never been arrested in Nigeria or anywhere else globally. Davido expressed disappointment in the dissemination of such unfounded rumors, deeming it irresponsible, even if it was circulated on April Fool’s Day.

A friend of the singer Ruger, identified as AdeblownBoy on Xplatform, has commended Ruger for remaining authentic despite attaining wealth and fame.

In a post on Xplatform, AdeblownBoy expressed his appreciation for Ruger, noting that they have been friends since secondary school and have shared many experiences together.

Despite Ruger’s success, AdeblownBoy highlighted that Ruger continues to stay connected with his friends, always responding to texts and FaceTime calls, regardless of the timing.

AdeblownBoy emphasized that they still engage in activities together, such as playing football, just like they did before Ruger’s rise to fame. He praised Ruger as a genuine and loyal friend, stating, “he’s a real one fr.”

There’s an ongoing dispute over child custody involving comedic content creator Lord Lamba and Queen Mercy Atang.

Reports suggest that Lord Lamba missed a court hearing related to the custody battle for their daughter. Initially, it was claimed that Lord Lamba filed for custody without informing Queen Mercy Atang, and the case proceeded twice without her knowledge. However, after Queen Mercy Atang’s legal team investigated, she became aware of the court date, only to find Lord Lamba absent.

The conflict between Lord Lamba and Queen Mercy Atang began when she announced her engagement. Following this announcement, Lord Lamba shared photos of himself with their daughter on Instagram for the first time since her birth in 2022. This action sparked speculation among internet users, accusing Lord Lamba of jealousy regarding Queen Mercy Atang’s engagement.

Subsequently, Queen Mercy Atang posted a skit featuring herself and Nasty Blaq, which bore resemblance to her personal situation, perplexing followers.

Despite the turmoil with Lord Lamba, Queen Mercy Atang went ahead with her marriage to her partner based in the U.K., garnering significant media attention and social media coverage. The wedding was attended by numerous former Big Brother Naija participants and other reality television stars, making it a lavish all-white affair.

The substantial turnout at her wedding underscored Queen Mercy Atang’s considerable influence. Despite her influence, the conflict with Lord Lamba remains one of her few public disputes. Overall, Queen Mercy Atang has maintained a low profile, steering clear of trouble.

Recently, Mohbad’s mother lodged a complaint against her former husband, Mr. Joseph Aloba, alleging threats to her life. Known for openly discussing her strained relationship with her ex-spouse, she reportedly submitted a petition to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, claiming that Mr. Aloba has been threatening her because she refused to collaborate with him in spreading falsehoods about Omowunmi, Mohbad’s wife, related to the late singer’s passing.

She conveyed through her lawyer that Mr. Aloba has been making threats and granting interviews to the media and bloggers, causing her to fear for her safety. She mentioned encountering unknown individuals monitoring her former residence, prompting her to relocate to evade potential harm. She also cited instances of online bullying due to her ex-husband’s actions on social media.

In a separate incident, in April 2024, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo praised Mohbad’s mother on her 50th birthday, urging women to pray for a mother figure like her. She highlighted how Mohbad’s wife, Omowunmi, found support from Mohbad’s mother during various challenges in the public eye.

Moreover, in 2023, Mohbad’s mother explained why she seldom discloses her relationship with Mohbad, expressing fear of being targeted for kidnapping due to his prominence in the entertainment industry.

At the beginning of the video, Neo Akpofure mentioned that love involves making continuous sacrifices. He also emphasized that love means prioritizing your partner and showing them that they are valued.

Neo further explained that love sometimes requires stepping back to let your partner shine. The overall tone of the video was melancholic, which is somewhat unusual for Neo’s typical online demeanor, but his delivery was still impressive.

A fan in the comment section remarked that Beauty Tukura was fortunate to have Neo in her life, to which Neo replied that they were both fortunate to have each other.

Neo Akpofure and Beauty Tukura have been together for a while now, following his breakup with Vee. Unlike Vee, Beauty hasn’t had any public disputes with Neo’s sister, Venita Akpofure, although they haven’t publicly declared a friendship or been seen together.

The specifics of Vee and Neo’s breakup remain undisclosed, but it appears to have left them both with negative feelings. While Vee engaged in online conflicts with her ex and his sister, Beauty Tukura has faced her own controversies.

A few years ago, there were numerous allegations online accusing Beauty Tukura of being a bully during her secondary school days. Amidst the backlash, Beauty took a break from social media, with speculations suggesting she needed to escape the negative attention.

Despite seeming like she might have been “canceled” at that time, her career appears to be thriving now.

Neo Akpofure went all in for his woman Beauty Tukura in a recent video that he made.

Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has criticized her colleagues for sleeping with other people’s husbands while still commenting on the wives’ social media posts.

In a post on her Instagram story, she expressed disbelief at their actions, saying her integrity wouldn’t allow her to behave that way. She implied that her message might be making someone nervous.

She stated that she doesn’t want to remember anybody today but she knows someone’s leg is trembling over her post.

“All these actresses sef, una dey sleep with people’s husbands still dey comment for the wife’s page. I don’t know how y’all do it but realness no go gree me live that kind life kaii.
I dey come first I wan go chop basmati rice first.

I no wan remember anybody today o. But that thing e

Am sure someone leg is shaking now cos hmmm, I said I am coming”.

In another post, she addressed accusations that she enjoys causing trouble, explaining that she’s been unfairly maligned for a long time. She declared her readiness to confront any evil forces.

“You might think I like trouble, but people have been slandering me for a long time with evil lies. So for now, just deal with it because I’m ready to take down every stronghold of the devil.”

Angela Okorie had previously called out Nollywood actresses for their habit of stealing other people’s husbands and boyfriends, describing them as low-class individuals with no pedigree. She mentioned that she’s waiting for the opportunity to publicly confront them.

Recently, Angela responded to accusations that her recent outbursts were due to a mental breakdown. She sent a message to colleagues Zubby Michael and Mercy Johnson, accusing them of paying people to tarnish her image but affirming that her truth will be told. She urged them to leave her alone, stating that this is just the beginning.

In a recent interview, singer Seyi Vibez recounted his experience with scammers when he was a hopeful thirteen-year-old trying to break into the music industry. During his search, he came across a contact who claimed to be an assistant to Wizkid. This supposed assistant requested ten thousand Naira as a registration fee for Starboy Inc, and Seyi Vibez believed him.

With high hopes, Seyi Vibez sold his phone to raise the money and handed it over to the scammer. Despite being scammed at such a young age, Seyi Vibez did not let this setback deter him from pursuing his musical dreams, eventually achieving significant success in his career.

Seyi Vibez made a notable entry into the music industry with his distinctive sound, often described as Afro-Fuji, characterized by rhythmic beats and predominantly Yoruba lyrics. However, his journey hasn’t been without challenges. In 2023, he had a public feud with fellow artist Portable over who was the true “king of the trenches.”

This dispute saw both artists flaunting their wealth and distributing money in their old neighborhoods. Portable is known for his numerous conflicts, having had issues with his baby mamas, manager, and show promoters.

Additionally, Portable had an unprovoked conflict with Bobrisky, criticizing him for dressing like a woman. In response, Bobrisky released a diss track titled “Brotherhood.”

He stated that he had gone online to google how to get into Starboy Inc, which is owned by Wizkid.

Former reality TV star Kiddwaya recently shared some private messages he received from a woman on his Snapchat. In these messages, two women criticized him for his rude behavior.

The first woman mentioned that she had initially planned to sleep with him, but his attitude changed her mind. She told him it was his loss and called him a loser. The second woman, named Tolu, described his actions as horrible and disrespectful.

In response to these messages, Kiddwaya revealed that he enjoys dismissing attractive women. He stated that he doesn’t care about a woman’s status and that he could treat anyone in the same manner. He advised women not to be stuck-up and refused to apologize, claiming he is the prize.

Back in April 2024, Kiddwaya expressed his desire to hire an overweight chef for his restaurant, believing that a larger chef would be more confident in their cooking skills. Additionally, around the same time, he faced criticism from netizens for a post on Instagram where he was seen partying. Critics felt he was being insensitive in light of Junior Pope’s recent death and accused him of being immature and always showing off.

Nollywood actress Adesua Etomi Wellington has expressed her unwavering support for her husband and fellow actor, Bankole Wellington, as he battles cancer.

Banky W recently made headlines by announcing his successful fight against cancer, marking the third time he has overcome the disease. He extended his gratitude to God, his wife, family, friends, and pastors for their love, prayers, and support during this challenging time.

In response to his heartfelt message, Adesua took to her social media to reassure him of her love and commitment. She assured her husband that she will stand by his side throughout his journey.

Fast-rising Nigerian singer Spyro recently shared on Instagram how a heartbreak from a woman he was planning to propose to caused him to dislike Canada. He explained that he was still healing from this painful experience, where he had envisioned a future with her, bought a ring, and then she abruptly ended things after a female friend pecked him as a thank you for a favor. This act of kindness towards his friend set off a chain of events that led to their breakup. Since then, Spyro developed a resentment towards Canada, but he now feels healed.

A few days ago, Spyro also revealed why he avoids being in the same room with Big Brother Naija Lockdown finalist Nengi Hampson. He emphasized that while he is not Jesus Christ, he is a servant of His, and thus avoids any situation involving Nengi to prevent others from using her to get to him. He recounted his initial encounter with her, which prompted him to distance himself.

Last year, Spyro surprised many by declaring himself God’s ambassador, stating that he was sent to the music industry to bring about positive change. He distanced himself from unholy songs and committed to promoting music that is righteous and pleasing to God.

Recently, Spyro cautioned men to be wary of beautiful women, claiming that the most troublesome ones are often the very attractive ones. He drew a parallel to the Devil, who was the most beautiful angel before being cast out of heaven, suggesting that the Devil operates through many of the pretty faces men encounter.

Canada
I want to be honest today.
The reason why I have pushed this tour this far is because I was still healing from a serious heartbreak from one of your girls there.
Quite painful as I saw a future with us, already bought a ring and all of a sudden she ended it and for what? Because a female friend pecked me father I bought her something she needed and I wanted to be open so I told her and that led to a series of events that ended the relationship.
Since then I resented the idea of Canada and everything that surrounds it but now I am healed thanks to series of messages from my pastor.
CANADA IT’S TIME”.

So you know, I am not just coming to tour o, I am coming to find beauty to my chaos, so my Jesus baddies, as you are coming out to the venues, endeavor to dress sexy but decent, I might just sight my missing rib from the crown and oh, I won’t be wearing shades on all performances in CANADA so I can see well … See ya all from June 14th”.

She posted new photos on Instagram to show that she does not appear to have gone through hardships.

In 2022, Halima became bedridden after a conflict with Apostle Johnson Suleman, prompting her family to publicly ask the clergyman to stay away from her.

Many speculated that the actress was battling an autoimmune disease. To counter these claims, Halima shared her medical report, but it was dismissed by many who said it didn’t prove anything.

Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has addressed critics of her age after giving in to the wishes of her husband and senior colleagues.

Kemi Filani reported that Uche Ogbodo had a confrontation with a troll who doubted she was 38 and hoped she had been truthful about her age with her husband.

In response, Uche expressed her disgust at the troll’s comments, questioning what was wrong with her and stating that she was already a star while the troll was still sleeping.

To prove her age, Uche shared a photo of her passport bio-data showing she is indeed 38.

However, on Instagram, the actress explained she removed the post at her husband’s request and because some senior colleagues advised her to do so.

She proclaimed that she is blessed in every way, having achieved more than her peers through hard work. She also told those upset by her success to “go hug a transformer” and pointed out that it wasn’t her fault that her critics didn’t become stars early in their lives.

“I deleted my post because my hubby didn’t like it and some of my Senior colleagues asked me to, cos really what’s the point!
