Controversial singer, Kanye West has stirred up controversy by blaming Taylor Swift for his exclusion from the Super Bowl halftime show.

The outspoken artist took to X to express his frustrations, stating that his MAGA hat also played a role in the decision. He explained that three specific incidents led to his snub.

In a now-deleted post, the 47-year-old mentioned the infamous moment when he interrupted Taylor Swift’s 2009 MTV Video Music Awards speech, where she thanked Beyonce, as one of the key reasons behind his Super Bowl rejection.

He also referred to his controversial “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people” remark and his support for Donald Trump as contributing factors.

Jimmy Odukoya, Senior Pastor of the Fountain of Life Church, revealed that God instructed him not to cut his dreadlocks in order to save a life. Speaking during a recent sermon, the pastor shared that he sought divine guidance about his appearance before taking on his pastoral role after the death of his father, Taiwo Odukoya.

He explained, “I asked the Lord if I should cut my hair before returning to the pulpit, and He told me not to.” Odukoya also asked his sister to pray on the matter, and when she returned with the same message, he was certain that it was God’s will.

Pastor Odukoya then recounted a powerful story about a woman from Zimbabwe who traveled to Nigeria to meet him after a vision she had in 2016. The woman explained that she had seen a man with dreadlocks speaking to her in a vision, offering guidance during a difficult time in her life.

She shared how, after enduring a tough breakup and losing everything, including her mother, she found solace in Odukoya’s sermons on YouTube. The woman said she recognized him instantly when she saw him with long hair, recalling the vision she had years earlier.

What moved Odukoya most was that he hadn’t had long hair at the time of the woman’s vision. He believed God had guided him to keep his dreadlocks, ensuring that he would be there to help her in her moment of need.

He emphasized, “God knew that at some point in 2025, this woman would need to see a man with long hair preaching to her. If I had cut it, I wouldn’t have been able to fulfill this purpose.”

Nigerian artist Iyanya has shared his hope that one day, his colleagues Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy will finally collaborate on a song together.

Iyanya was responding to a recent podcast where Davido mentioned that fans play a role in making it difficult for him, Wizkid, and Burna Boy to work together. Reposting a viral clip from the interview on X, Iyanya encouraged the trio to put aside the differences and focus on making music—and money.

He wrote, “Trolls trying to make money off trolling hardworking brothers. It’s tough to ignore sometimes, especially when they target something so important to you.”

“I believe one day we’ll see that collaboration between Davido, Wizkid, and Burna. I’ve had the privilege of working with all three, and I’m rooting for it.”

He also urged them to come together for the benefit of their music careers, adding, “Let’s make music and get money.”

While Wizkid and Burna Boy have worked together on tracks like ‘B D’or’ and ‘Ginger,’ and Burna Boy and Davido collaborated on ‘Trumpet’ before Burna’s international success, Davido and Wizkid have yet to release a song together despite fans eagerly anticipating it.
