Kannywood actress Mansura Isa has publicly confirmed the end of her second marriage, describing the experience as abrupt and emotionally jarring—comparable to a dramatic film plot. In a candid discussion on the BBC Hausa programme Mahangar Zamani, alongside fellow veteran actress Fati Mohammad, Mansura disclosed that she entered the marriage driven by love, only to later realize that her husband’s intentions were not as sincere as she had believed. “I married for love. You know what they say, love is blind. But it turns out he had a different agenda, not real love,” she remarked. Fati Mohammad defended Kannywood actresses against the frequent accusations of marital instability. She emphasized that marital failures are not exclusive to celebrities but become public spectacles due to their fame. Fati argued that many men pursue actresses out of lust, and once their desires are fulfilled, they abandon the relationship. “People assume women refuse to stay in marriage because they’re used to luxury, but it’s not that simple,” she added. Mansura’s second marriage attracted public attention in June 2024, following her remarriage after separating from her first husband, actor Sani Danja. The former couple shares four children—Iman, Khalifa, Sultan, and Sudais—and their union was once regarded as exemplary within the industry. Viral videos from her second wedding revealed that the bride price was set at one million naira. However, Mansura has now disclosed that the marriage has ended. She recounted meeting her second husband through an uncle when she secured a contract in Lagos. Lacking a representative in the city, she reached out to the man to oversee the deal. Subsequently, she discovered that he harbored ambitions of controlling the project and used romantic interest as a facade. “He suddenly proposed marriage, and I accepted, thinking he was genuine. He even said I could continue with my film career. We got married at night, and the next morning he left for Lagos,” Mansura explained. She further revealed that during the wedding, he presented a contract agreement, requesting her to sign over the management of a N4 billion contract to him, citing their marital bond. From that point, he began communicating directly with the involved parties, effectively excluding her from the process. “I never saw him again after that. He stopped answering my calls, and eventually divorced me,” she stated. According to Mansura, when confronted in Lagos, he claimed to have forgotten about the marriage. Initially, he refused to issue a divorce but later relented under pressure. Despite the distressing ordeal, Mansura expressed acceptance of her fate.

Popular Nigerian music producer and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, recently expressed his displeasure with a food vendor who gifted him a plate of nkwobi and later requested something unexpected in return—a free performance by Rema, one of his top artists. In a video that went viral on his official Instagram page, Don Jazzy recounted the surprising exchange. He revealed that the vendor approached him with an unsolicited offer of nkwobi, a traditional Igbo delicacy, which he initially declined. However, after persistent persuasion, he accepted and enjoyed the dish. To his astonishment, the same vendor later asked if he could allow Rema to perform for free at her upcoming event. Shocked by the request, Don Jazzy issued a firm warning during the clip: “Nobody should give me free gifts again. I’m not interested.” The music executive explained that situations like this are why he avoids accepting unsolicited gifts, emphasizing the unrealistic expectations some people attach to such gestures. He humorously questioned the logic behind the proposal: “You gave me nkwobi I didn’t ask for. After insisting, I ate it. Then you turn around and ask me to bring Rema. How does that make sense? Is there a conversion rate that values Rema’s performance at the price of nkwobi?” This encounter stirred conversations online, highlighting the awkward dynamics that can arise from gift-giving in professional relationships.

American R&B star Chris Brown has been granted bail by a UK court after facing serious assault charges. The Grammy Award-winning singer, aged 36, was released on the condition that he pays a £5 million bail bond, allowing him to continue his upcoming international concert tour. Under the terms set by the court, Brown is allowed to resume his tour schedule, beginning June 8 in Amsterdam. However, the presiding judge made it clear that the bail condition requires him to return to the UK for a set of concert performances scheduled to start from June 15. Failure to return will result in forfeiting the entire bail amount. According to LMSINT MEDIA, Brown was not physically present at the bail hearing held in Southwark Crown Court, London. Despite the ongoing legal matter, he is slated to perform at venues across Europe, including France, and in the United States in 2025. Brown faces charges of “grievous bodily harm with intent” related to an incident that allegedly occurred on February 19, 2023, at a nightclub in Hanover Square, London. The victim reportedly endured multiple strikes with a bottle, followed by being chased, punched, and kicked during the attack. Law enforcement detained the artist in the early morning of May 13, shortly after he arrived in Manchester via a private jet. Authorities took him into custody at a luxury five-star hotel in the city’s northwest region. Judge Tony Baumgartner, who presided over the case, emphasized that Brown must remain at a specific residence registered with the court. If not actively touring, the singer must also surrender his passport. Additionally, he has been banned from contacting the alleged victim, identified as Abraham Diah, and is prohibited from visiting the nightclub where the alleged incident took place. Brown and his co-defendant, identified as Omololu Akinlolu, a US national, face similar charges. Both are expected to return to Southwark Crown Court for a subsequent hearing scheduled for June 20.

Afrobeats sensation Small Doctor has voiced strong disapproval regarding the alarming surge of drug abuse among Nigerian youth. The artist, who hails from Agege, Lagos, shared his personal encounter that left him emotionally disturbed and deeply concerned about the future of young Nigerians. During a recent visit to the neighbourhood where he grew up, Small Doctor observed an unsettling sight. He revealed that he came across some of his childhood friends—young men once full of potential—who were in such a drug-induced state that they were literally sleeping while standing. This disturbing experience, according to him, was both shocking and saddening. He used the opportunity to advocate for greater awareness and intervention against drug misuse, calling for more voices to rise in support of the campaign. The artist also referenced a piece of advice he received from Fuji music legend Wasiu Ayinde (K1 De Ultimate) six years ago. According to Small Doctor, Ayinde had encouraged him to establish a drug rehabilitation centre, foreseeing that the demand for such facilities would become increasingly vital. He described the advice as prophetic, stating that Ayinde “saw the future.” Taking to his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, Small Doctor wrote: “There’s one guy that consistently speaks out against drug use on social media—I think his name is David-something, though I can’t recall fully. We need his voice now more than ever. I walked through a few neighbourhoods this past Sunday and what I saw broke my heart. The rate at which young people are indulging in substance use today is beyond alarming. Wasiu Ayinde advised me six years ago to set up a rehab centre, calling it the new oil. That man had vision. What pained me most was returning to my old neighbourhood and seeing guys I grew up with literally asleep while standing. Some were even stuck in awkward and strange postures while sleeping. It’s truly devastating.”
