Usher opened up about balancing his career and maintaining his physique at 45, crediting consistency and mindfulness for his ability to stay in shape while performing.

Following the success of his hit single “Calm Down,” Rema has confidently claimed his spot among Afrobeats’ top artists, positioning himself alongside the “Afrobeats Big 3” — Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy. In an interview on *The Breakfast Club*, Rema addressed skepticism about his place in the industry due to his relatively short career.

He attributed some of the doubt to his rapid rise, fueled by “Calm Down” with Selena Gomez, which led to perceptions that he achieved success too quickly. Rema argued that his accomplishments, such as breaking long-standing records in just a few years, challenge traditional timelines for earning respect. His recent album *HEIS* reflects his intention to push against conventional norms and solidify his status among Afrobeats’ elite.

Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, has proclaimed himself a pastor.

In a recent video, Portable stated that he is a pastor through whom God communicates with men. This came after a video surfaced showing him assaulting a pastor who was preaching at his bar. The offended pastor condemned Portable’s actions as disrespectful and warned of impending consequences.

The incident stirred online backlash, with many Nigerians criticizing the singer. In response, Portable, wearing a celestial garment, said, “I’m a pastor. When I speak, God speaks. I have never disrespected any true pastor. If he was one, God would have told me.”
