Tiwa Savage Speaks Out on “Disrespectful” Hidden Relationship
During a recent podcast interview, singer Tiwa Savage narrated her relationship with a fellow celebrity who wanted to keep things a secret, and how it left her emotionally damaged.
She said the man insisted they keep things low-key, yet behaved publicly in ways that felt disrespectful: flirting, touching other women, then telling her it was just to throw people off.

Jimmy Kimmel Live gets suspended indefinitely over comments on Charlie Kirk’s murder
One of the most shocking news this week was the indefinite suspension of Late Night show host Jimmy Kimmel by ABC after 17 years of hosting the show.
His suspension came after a monologue where he joked that MAGA supporters (Trump supporters) were “desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.”
The backlash escalated when the FCC Chair, Brendan Carr, threatened regulatory action and warned of consequences over what were described as misleading statements. RoxStar Media’s affiliates, Nexstar and Sinclair, pulled the show from their lineups, citing objections to his comments.
Late-night hosts including Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, and former host David Letterman have condemned the decision, calling it a dangerous suppression of free speech.
Interior Designer Amake Obasi allegedly defrauds Rema of ₦287M
Afrobeats star Rema is currently embroiled in a controversy after interior designer Amaka Obasi (Ardeb Lifestyle Company) accused his team of using the police to intimidate her over a ₦287M contract.
The case centers on an agreement made in April 2023. Obasi allegedly received ₦287 million upfront but is accused of failing to complete the work, leaving furniture undelivered, and transferring funds into another account.
Rema’s lawyers have denied the claims of harassment and, in turn, accused Miss Obasi of using fraudulent means to receive ₦287M from the musician while failing to stick to the terms of the contract.
