Manchester United’s iconic Old Trafford stadium took on a different atmosphere on Saturday, September 26, 2026, as Nigerian pastor, Jerry Eze led worshippers in prayer during the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) UK Prayer Conference.

Nigerian Afrobeats star, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, popularly known as Kizz Daniel, has revealed that the death of his mother was behind his recent break from music activities. Kizz Daniel, also known as Vado D’Great, explained that he stepped away from music following the loss, saying he had to keep moving for the rest of his family. The singer made the disclosure on Friday while responding to a fan on X (formerly Twitter) who had assumed that his absence was connected to preparations for a new album.

The revelation comes as the singer prepares to return to the music scene with his forthcoming album, Radio Gidi,  which is scheduled for release on Friday, October ...

A woman who accused an American rapper, billionaire businessman and record executive, Shawn Corey Carter, popularly known as Jay-Z, of raping her when she was 13 has formally withdrawn the allegation, declaring that her claims against the music star were false. The woman, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, had filed a lawsuit in 2024 alleging that she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs at a party following the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000. Both musicians denied the allegation, while the woman later dropped the lawsuit in February 2025. Jay-Z subsequently filed a lawsuit against the woman and her former lawyers, including attorney Tony Buzbee.
