Tems Celebrates Successful End of North American Tour
Temilade Openiyi, known as Tems, is celebrating the successful end of the North American leg of her debut world tour, “Born in the Wild.” In an Instagram post, the Grammy Award-winning artist thanked her team, family, and fans, saying, “The North American leg of the Born in the Wild Tour has ended! I feel joy and gratitude for this experience. I feel part of something much larger than myself and am thankful to have met so many beautiful souls. Thank you!”
Tems launched the European portion of her five-part tour, which also includes Asia and Africa, on June 11, 2024, at Eventim Apollo in London. The North American leg kicked off on August 22, 2024, in Miami, with supporting acts such as American singer Naomi Sharon, Lekan, and Nigerian-American artist Godwin.
The tour continues into November, with Australian dates set for Melbourne, Brisbane, and Moore Park. The African leg will begin on October 19, 2024. Tems performed popular tracks like “Not An Angel,” “Love Me JeJe,” “Burning,” “Wickedest,” and “Damages” during the tour.
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.’”
