Get Ready: ‘Shrek 5’ Release Date Locked In, Original Cast Returns!
DreamWorks made a splash on Tuesday with the announcement of “Shrek 5,” set to release on July 1, 2026, and featuring returning stars Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz. The news marks a revival of the beloved franchise after over a decade since its last installment.
Originally launched in 2001, “Shrek” became a cultural phenomenon, spawning sequels in 2004, 2007, and 2010, along with spinoffs and a Broadway musical. Despite ups and downs, the franchise maintained popularity through memes and spinoff content like “Puss in Boots.”
The revival of “Shrek 5” follows longstanding plans for sequels initiated by DreamWorks, with recent updates including involvement from Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri and ongoing development led by writer Michael McCullers and director Walt Dohrn. Further details on the plot and casting are yet to be revealed.
Music executive Ubi Franklin speaks on music and shares how music is actually very risky to get into, and he explains why.
He states that no matter how much you put into music, you are never sure of how much you will get back.
He said “Music is the riskiest business I’ve ever done. You need ₦100m to promote one song. Even if TikTok carries it, you still need money to keep it on the charts because people have short attention spans, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get your money back.”
Popular singer Lil Nas X shares an emotional tribute to his mum.
The singer took to social media and shared: “RIP TO THE BADDEST EVER! LOVE U FOREVER MOMMY. this one’s gonna hurt,” he wrote in the caption.
The rapper shared this over the weekend. No one is really sure of the details, her age, or how or when she died. However, many sympathise with the singer as he loses a parent.
Nigerian actress Mo Bimpe gets emotional online as she states that she was invited to Rakeem, Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux’s son’s birthday party and had a good time.
She then got emotional, remembering when she was not usually invited to such events because she did not have kids. She always felt sad because of this, so going for this birthday party made her happy.
She added at the end “Please don’t make it harder by excluding people. A woman without a child is not less deserving of love, friendship, inclusion, or celebration. Invite her. Love her. Celebrate with her. You never truly know what someone is carrying behind their smile.”
