Kiddwaya, a former Big Brother Naija contestant and son of a billionaire, is currently facing public outrage after seeking financial support from Nigerians to aid victims of a deadly attack in Benue State.

Renowned Nigerian singer Ric Hassani has shed light on why several gospel artists often transition into the secular music industry, emphasizing that personal fulfilment — not financial gain — drives the switch. In an interview with Hip TV, Hassani shared insights about the spiritual and artistic dynamics that influence this shift. Reflecting on his own journey, he noted that while he began his career singing in church, he realized that gospel ministration wasn’t his divine calling. “Singing gospel music goes beyond just vocal performance,” Hassani explained. “You must be spiritually blessed to interpret God’s message through music. Take someone like CeCe Winans, for example — her ability to convey the Holy Spirit through song is clearly a divine gift. That’s not something everyone can replicate. Even Whitney Houston had a different kind of spiritual blessing.” He continued by drawing a comparison: “There’s no way someone like Katy Perry could minister God’s word the same way CeCe Winans does. It’s not about talent alone — it’s about divine enablement.” Hassani emphasized that not every artist is meant to minister within the church. “Some of us are called to influence the world in different ways. I include Christian songs in all my albums — at least one track — because I am a committed Christian. But that’s not where my core purpose lies,” he noted. “I can’t do gospel music like Frank Edwards or Mercy Chinwo. If I venture into it fully, it may not resonate. It’s simply not my assignment.” Speaking further, he dismissed the common notion that money is the primary motivation behind gospel artists venturing into secular music. “Everyone likes money — even creative individuals — but true fulfilment comes from being able to create and express your ideas authentically. Think of Wizkid, Burna Boy, or Davido. These guys are already wealthy. If it was just about money, Davido wouldn’t bother making music at all. He doesn’t need the money,” Hassani said. In conclusion, he affirmed that the satisfaction derived from creating music — from developing an idea to producing a complete song — far outweighs any monetary reward. “That form of creative expression gives a deeper sense of purpose — something that money cannot buy.”

Nigerian socialite and crossdresser, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, better known as Bobrisky, has openly criticized members of the Nigerian Senate for their perceived indifference toward the ongoing violence and killings in Benue State. Taking to his Instagram story on Monday, Bobrisky expressed disappointment, comparing the swift legislative attention his legal issues received to the silence surrounding the tragic events in Benue. “Senators and House of Representatives didn’t summon an emergency meeting concerning the killings happening in Benue,” Bobrisky lamented. “But they quickly gathered when it was about Bobrisky. Disgraceful! What a shameful country.” The controversial figure faced legal proceedings in 2024 after being charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for the misuse of the Nigerian currency, the naira. Although found guilty, later reports indicated that Bobrisky did not serve any prison sentence following the court ruling, sparking public criticism and debate over the country’s justice system and selective governance.

Nigerian digital content creator Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, widely known by her fans as Jarvis, was recently seen in a highly emotional state during a live-stream, where she opened up about the escalating issues in her relationship with fellow influencer Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller. This emotional revelation occurred during a joint live session that featured well-known TikTok influencers Sandra Benede and Seun Pizzle. Jarvis, visibly distressed, voiced her concerns about Peller allegedly breaching her trust by disclosing sensitive details of their relationship during his public broadcasts. She explained that each time she confides in him about personal matters, he tends to discuss them live without restraint, often in inappropriate ways. “He has no filter when he goes live,” she lamented, revealing this as the major reason she no longer feels comfortable opening up to him. When pressed about the exact cause of their current fallout, Jarvis hinted that the issue runs much deeper than a single event. “Peller has several reasons for being upset, but instead of resolving them privately, he’s bringing it all online,” she explained, adding that the same concerns had already been addressed in private conversations. Meanwhile, in his own separate live session, Peller fired back, accusing Jarvis of being secretive and not keeping him informed about her plans. He emphasized that he is always open and honest about his own life and doesn’t hide anything from her. Expressing his frustration, Peller said: “How am I supposed to claim a woman like this? Do you know what she has done? I don’t even like Jarvis anymore. She hurt me. I’m just trying to help her find her footing again. I’m trying to forgive, but the damage is already done.” This recent outburst isn’t the first public fallout between the couple. Back in April 2025, Jarvis publicly criticized Peller and even threatened to call off their engagement following another heated dispute. Since publicly announcing their relationship in 2024, the couple has remained a major topic of public interest, particularly among social media followers. LMSINT MEDIA recalls how the relationship became a trending subject again in December 2025, when Peller’s public proposal to Jarvis went viral and sparked widespread discussion online.
