Nollywood actress, Annie Macaulay has dismissed rumours suggesting she has reunited with her estranged husband, veteran music star, Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba. The actress addressed the speculation in a post shared on her Instagram Stories on Monday, indicating that videos fuelling the claims were old and being misrepresented. “Old videos circulating everywhere, false news everywhere,” Annie wrote.

Canadian rapper, Aubrey Drake Graham, popularly known as Drake has lost a $1.5 million bet after Argentina were defeated 1-0 by Spain in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final on Sunday, July 19, 2026 at New York New Jersey stadium, United States of America. The Grammy award-winning artiste had backed Argentina to beat Spain in Sunday’s final, placing the multimillion-dollar wager through betting platform Stake. Had Argentina won, the bet would have returned more than $5.1 million. Instead, Spain claimed the World Cup title after scoring the decisive goal in extra time, leaving Drake’s latest high-profile gamble unsuccessful. The  loss has once again reignited discussion surrounding the so-called “Drake curse” — a popular internet theory suggesting that teams and athletes publicly backed by the rapper often go on to lose. The  latest setback adds to Drake’s growing list of unsuccessful sports wagers. Earlier this year, he also lost a bet after backing former UFC two-division champion C...

Andy Burnham will on Monday, July 20, 2026, become Britain’s sixth prime minister to move into Downing Street since 2016, with an in-tray overflowing with challenges and little time to make his mark. The  new leader takes over from the unpopular Keir Starmer just two years after the outgoing prime minister led Labour to power in a landslide election victory after 14 years of Conservative rule. After being asked by King Charles III to form the next government, Burnham, 56, is due to make his first speech on Monday outside 10 Downing Street shortly after Starmer has said his farewells. In an interview with the newsmen published late Sunday, Burnham set out his ambition for change, saying he wanted to draw a line under a decade of political turmoil. “What we’ve been doing hasn’t been working. That’s the way I see it,” he said. “I  am going to try and do things in a different way.” In his first speech he was to acknowledge he feels “acutely conscious” of the need for a more stable...
