House of the Dragons S2: Update
After an almost two-year hiatus, Season 2 of HBO’s House of the Dragon is set to make its long-awaited return this June. African fans can catch the highly anticipated continuation of the hit series on Showmax. This new season promises a more gripping narrative, delving further into the core of the Dance of the Dragons conflict.
In contrast to the previous season, which established the groundwork for the impending clash, Season 2 is anticipated to start off with a bang. The creators have suggested that the storyline will progress more rapidly, centering on the intensifying tensions between the competing Targaryen factions.
The catalyst for this change in atmosphere stems from the tragic demise of Rhaenyra’s son, Lucerys, at the hands of Aemon, Alicent’s son. This pivotal event is poised to have profound repercussions as the Targaryen civil war intensifies to its climax. Expectations are high for a no-holds-barred confrontation, with both factions resorting to brutal acts of retribution.
Among the most eagerly awaited plot developments is the entrance of the notorious assassins, Blood and Cheese. Employed by the cunning Daemon Targaryen, these lethal agents are commissioned to avenge Lucerys’ untimely death. Their impending arrival fosters an air of unease and anticipation, leaving viewers on edge as they speculate about the target of their deadly assignment.
House of the Dragon Season 2 is set to deliver a captivating spectacle, featuring beloved characters alongside exciting newcomers. Expect drama, intrigue, and the majestic dragons synonymous with the series. Premiering on June 17, 2024, exclusively on Showmax and M-Net, the wait is nearly over. In preparation, fans can binge-watch Season 1 on Showmax for a refresher and to ramp up the excitement for the new season.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
