The year 2021 has indeed been eventful for popular singer, Tiwa Savage. From being involved in a ‘fight’ with fellow singer, Seyi Shay, to the release of her sex tape, the 41 year-old singer has proved that she can rise above any drama that comes her way. In June, Savage and Shay exchanged words at a salon in Lekki, Lagos, where Tiwa accused her colleague of trying to form friendship with her after making attempts to spoil her name. It degenerated into a heated argument and Savage resorted to using swear words to buttress her argument. However, the beef between the two top singers was reportedly settled when a parody Instagram account of Seyi Shay complimented Tiwa’s performance at the Global Citizen Concert held at The Great Lawn, New York, United States of America, in September. Tiwa, through her verified Instagram page, then acknowledged the comment, replying, “@seyishay…Thank you @glblctzn, thanks to everyone that came out to support, love y’all.” Shortly after that, Tiwa was throw...

A transgender man has complained that nurses insisted on calling him "mom" during his pregnancy despite being a man.   Bennett Kaspar-Williams, 37, from Los Angeles, was born biologically female. He first realized he was trans around ten years ago, in 2011, but didn't begin his transition until three years later.  Then six years later, in 2017 he found Malik, his future husband, who he married in 2019. When they decided to have kids, Bennett stopped the testosterone hormone therapy he'd been on for several years to enable his ovaries to function.    Bennett, who has had gender reassigning surgery on the top half of his body but not on his genitalia, eventually decided that he would be comfortable trying to conceive and carrying a child.     He fell pregnant naturally soon after they started trying. He found out he was pregnant in March 2020 and the couple welcomed their son Hudson, via Cesarean section, in October 2020.     But...
