Burna Boy Marks Life and Success with Debut Single of 2024 ‘Higher’
The popular Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, has kicked off 2024 with the release of his first single, titled “Higher”. Burna Boy’s latest single follows a monumental 2023, where he made history as the first African artist to perform at the main Grammy Awards ceremony.
Sharing the stage with 21 Savage and Brandy at the 66th Grammys, he also achieved another milestone as the first Nigerian artist nominated as a lead artist outside the global categories, thanks to his hit single ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World’ featuring 21 Savage, nominated for Best Melodic Rap Performance. Adding to his accolades, Burna Boy recently set records for the highest-grossing concert by an African artist in the United States and the highest-grossing tour by an African artist in Canada.
Looking ahead, Burna Boy is preparing for a historic performance at London Stadium on June 29, 2024. This marks his second time headlining the stadium, following his groundbreaking achievement as the first African artist to do so in the UK in 2023.
Nigerian actress Yvonne Jegede is making headlines following her comments on marriage.
In a recent interview with The Punch, she described marriage as overrated and shared her perspective on how it often does not favour women.
She explained that women tend to carry more responsibilities and are sometimes expected to hold the marriage together.
“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, marriage is overrated. For people who have found happiness in marriage, I’m genuinely happy for them. But from my perspective and within my environment, marriage doesn’t always favour women.”
Nigerian reality TV star Phyna is facing backlash following her decision to undergo BBL surgery.
It can be noted that the reality star had earlier revealed plans for the procedure. This comes months after she lost her sister in a tragic accident.
Many critics have questioned her decision, suggesting she has not taken enough time to grieve. However, others have pointed out that people process grief differently.
Phyna responded to the backlash, saying “Nigerians are hypocrites. A lot of miserable people are dragging me for doing BBL a few months after my sister’s death. I have already grieved my sister and she will always remain in my heart.”
Nigerian content creator Zics Aloma has stirred reactions online after sharing an experience with a former friend.
He revealed that a friend he had not spoken to in two years reached out to him asking for financial help to settle rent. Zics responded that he could not provide such a large amount.
According to him, the former friend then insulted him, which left him surprised.
He said “You have not spoken to me for the past two years and you’re suddenly billing me. My last birthday I only got one gift from my assistant, whereas I give my friends cake, perfume, and wigs for their birthdays. This year, energy for energy.”
