Remarkably, BLACKPINK’s Rosé became the first K-pop solo artist to win Song of the Year, for her collaboration “APT.” with Bruno Mars.
Busta Rhymes lit up the stage with his legendary energy, while Ricky Martin not only delivered a fiery performance but also received the Latin Icon Award. Fans were also treated to sets from Sabrina Carpenter and Lady Gaga, who delivered powerful showcases of why they remain at the top of today’s pop scene.
Babcock University makes headlines as it speaks regarding content creator Carter Efe, who claimed that he studied at the school and graduated with a first-class degree.
When asked for proof, he shared a certificate that stated “First Class Upper.” However, the university has now spoken out, stating that the certificate is not from the school and is forged.
“Babcock University does not issue ‘Honorary Certificates’ in recognition of undergraduate academic performance. Academic excellence, including the award of First Class Honours, is formally recognized only through the University’s official degree certificate and academic transcript issued by the Office of the Registrar.”
“There is no academic classification or degree known to Babcock University as ‘First Class Upper.’ The recognized classification is First Class Honours.”

Fans Excited as Lana Condor, Gavin Casalegno and More Feature in New Prime Video Movie
A movie trailer just dropped from Prime Video, and fans are excited as they spot their favourites in one cast: Lana Condor, Kathryn Newton and Nico Hiraga.
The movie looks thrilling as it starts with a group of friends having fun and planning to do something grand for their last adventure together.
Not knowing it might literally be their last, the teaser shows the friends entering a cave by swimming and becoming trapped as they realise there is a killer animal in the water.
What happens next and how they escape is up to them—and for us to anticipate when the movie premieres on July 29, 2026.
Nigerian singer Ycee reacts to the criticism and ongoing conversation surrounding his comments about the “Olodo uprising.”
He reacted to the fact that he received backlash for using Peller as an example. “Some people are saying I shouldn’t have called Peller’s name, but I said what I said. If you feel offended, you should check yourself. A lot of people are also taking what I said out of context. The olodo uprising is even worse than I thought because there are so many people coming out to defend it.”
“My call is to people that are tired of brain-rot content. There is no reason why intelligent people cannot be streamers or content creators.”
