The drama intensifies as RHOLagos season 3 kicks off
The Real Housewives of Lagos is back! The drama is brewing, the style is on point, bonds are forming, and most importantly, we’ve got two fabulous new cast members. But before diving into Episode 1, let’s take a quick stroll down memory lane. Last season was a whirlwind. From Mariam cutting ties with her long-time friend Toyin Lawani to Laura forming alliances with Faith Morey, it was nothing short of a rollercoaster. Faith was undoubtedly the star last season revolved around, delivering plenty of jaw-dropping moments. Despite the chaos, we were hooked, and now, Season 3 promises even more. But it wouldn’t be RHOLagos without a little drama. Laura brings up Mariam’s ex-bestie, Toyin Lawani; a topic Mariam is clearly over. “There are some conversations I do not want to have, and that name is one of them,” Mariam quips in her diary session. Is Laura poking at old wounds? Messy, but oh-so-classic Housewives.

The 'YouTube vs. Cinema' Debate: Can both coexist in Nollywood?
In light of Afegbai’s concerns about the discrimination faced by actors, we decided to delve into this ongoing debate and share our perspective. If you’ve spent any time on social media lately or sat through a heated debate in a film lovers’ circle, you’ve probably heard it: the clash of "YouTube movies" versus "cinema releases." In one corner, you have YouTube, the hub giving creators a platform to tell their stories without needing a big studio budget. In the other corner is the glitz and glam of cinema; big screens, popcorn, and red carpets. But here’s the real question: do these two need to fight at all? Or can they coexist and even thrive together in Nigeria’s ever-growing entertainment industry? Let’s start with YouTube. Over the past decade, it has become a haven for Nollywood filmmakers who want creative freedom, direct connection to audience, and a chance to share stories without breaking the bank.

JITI’S PRODIGAL SON BABA HARARE HAS A MESSAGE FOR IMITATORS. . . Opens up on gospel detour. . . Talks about future projects
IN life, one should never burn bridges just because their fortunes have changed for the better. Being successful is no excuse to cut ties with those who helped you reach the top. Life can turn sour at any moment. Oftentimes, religious converts have a tendency to shun their traditional way of life. Some even go to the extent of labelling everyone — including parents, childhood friends and close family — as “sinners”. Jiti musician Baba Harare, born Braveman Chizvino, may have learnt this lesson the hard way. In 2024, he quit the genre that brought him fame and fortune to pursue gospel music. While he has always loved gospel, it was jiti that catapulted him to stardom. After leaving Jah Prayzah in 2017, Baba Harare had a false start as he explored reggae before finally turning the corner when he embraced jiti as his calling.

Emtee Says People's Doubts Fuel the Fire to Make Great Music: "Doubt Me So I Can Show You"
South African rapper Emtee has revealed that skepticism from others serves as a catalyst for his musical creativity. He expressed appreciation for those who challenge him, stating that a lack of critical feedback can lead to complacency. Emtee remarked, "I love it when people doubt me. When everyone is a yes man, they don’t even correct you when you are offside. Everything goes sideways. Doubt me so I can show a film." Following the release of his album "DIY3," Emtee addressed critics who labeled the project as subpar. He suggested that such negative opinions stem from a predisposition to dislike his work, despite positive reception from other listeners and favorable metrics. Emtee commented, "The album is only 'wack' because you’re dedicated to being a hater even when numbers tell a different story, and these good people that like it aren’t fools. Know that. You can feel however you want, but you don’t have the last say."
