1. Rihanna, A$AP Rocky expecting baby No. 3
Music icon Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky are expecting their third child together. The superstar couple, known for keeping their personal life mostly private, surprised fans with the joyful news earlier this week.
Rihanna revealed her growing baby bump on Monday, May 5, while making her way to the 2025 Met Gala in New York City. Dressed in a stunning gown, she smiled for the cameras and proudly showed off her bump, confirming the news without saying a word.
Later that evening, during a brief chat with reporters, the 36-year-old singer shared her excitement. “It feels amazing,” she said, as quoted by Sky News.
The couple’s journey as parents began in May 2022 when they welcomed their first child, a son named RZA. The birth came about a year after Rihanna and A$AP Rocky went public with their relationship.
In August 2023, the pair had their second son, named Riot Ross. Since then, fans have closely followed Rihanna’s growing family and her open, honest comments about motherhood.
In an April 2024 interview with Interview Magazine, Rihanna revealed she had hoped for a baby girl. “I’ve been trying for a daughter,” she said, “but I keep having boys.”
Still, the singer seemed happy and at peace with her growing family. Her appearance at the Met Gala only confirmed what many fans had guessed: baby number three is on the way.
With two young sons and another child soon to arrive, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are entering yet another exciting chapter of their lives.
Fans around the world have taken to social media to celebrate the news and send love and well wishes to the growing family.
2. Davido credited hard work, not connections, for his success
Afrobeats star David Adeleke, better known as Davido, is celebrating a major career milestone. The Nigerian singer hitted 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify for the first time, marking a new high in his music journey.
This achievement came shortly after the release of his fifth studio album, 5ive. The album had been well-received by fans around the world, further boosting Davido’s global presence in the Afrobeats scene.
Reacting to the news, Davido took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share his thoughts. In a short but powerful post, he reflected on the path that led him to this point. “No co-sign, built from the ground up! Just God, good music and the best fans! Appreciate you guys fr [for real]!” he wrote.
The singer made it clear that his rise to fame was not backed by industry giants or powerful record labels in the early days. Unlike some of his peers who had help from music executives or so-called “godfathers,” Davido said he carved his path.
Despite his independent journey, he gave credit to a few key forces behind his success: divine grace, the quality of his music, and the loyalty of his fans.
Davido’s story is one of hard work, consistency, and self-belief. Over the years, he has become one of the most influential voices in African music. With this new Spotify milestone, he has once again shown that talent, paired with determination, can break boundaries.
As the streaming numbers continue to rise, fans and industry watchers alike are eager to see what’s next for the OBO crooner.
3. EFCC grilled Iyabo Ojo over dollar spraying at daughter’s wedding
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) questioned Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo over alleged abuse of currency at her daughter’s recent wedding ceremony.
According to New Daily Prime, the actress’ daughter, Priscilla Ojo, tied the knot with Tanzanian singer Jux on April 17, 2025.
The star-studded event took place in Nigeria, following their earlier Islamic wedding held in Tanzania in February.
The wedding quickly became the most talked-about celebration on social media. It attracted a host of celebrities from Nigeria and beyond. Videos from the event showed guests spraying both naira notes and U.S. dollar bills on the couple during the celebration.
In the days that followed, speculation grew about Iyabo Ojo’s reported visit to the EFCC. Addressing the rumours, the actress confirmed that she honoured the agency’s invitation and was questioned.
In a statement posted on her Instagram page, Ojo shared some details of her visit. She said EFCC officials asked about her personal and professional background, including questions about her career, work history, and businesses.
She explained that she had no prior knowledge that spraying foreign currencies was a crime in Nigeria. “I was asked if I knew this was illegal, and I explained that I only thought abuse or mutilation of naira was an offense,” she wrote.
Ojo added that EFCC officials informed her that spraying money, whether naira or any foreign currency, is considered currency abuse under Nigerian law.
The actress expressed surprise at the clarification but said she cooperated fully with the agency.
The EFCC has continued to warn Nigerians about the illegal practice of spraying money at parties, calling it a violation of financial regulations.
4. I Once Grew Tired of My Marriage, P. Daniel revealed
Pastor Daniel Olawande spoke openly about a challenging season in his marriage when he felt emotionally and physically distant from his wife. He shared his story on the “Love Gist” podcast, revealing how their connection had faded, leaving him overwhelmed and confused.
“There was a time I felt completely disconnected from my wife,” he said. “I was tired. I wasn’t attracted to her anymore. I didn’t even want to be touched. She was the one asking for intimacy, but I just couldn’t respond.”
The pastor admitted that the situation left him feeling emotionally unstable. He became easily irritated, defensive, and unsure of what was causing the change. Despite not being in a period of fasting, which might usually affect intimacy, he still couldn’t bring himself to be close to his wife.
Looking for answers, he turned to his wife’s mentor for advice. The mentor listened, apologised on his wife’s behalf, and promised to speak with her. That conversation became a turning point.
“The next evening, my wife asked to drive us somewhere,” Olawande recalled. “I thought we were going to meet someone. But when we arrived, it was a surprise.”
To his amazement, his wife had booked a hotel room and set up a romantic evening. The room was decorated with roses, and a beautifully arranged meal was waiting for him.
“I was shocked,” he said. “She told me she did it all for me. I sat down and started eating. Before I even finished, I transferred money to her as a thank-you. That night, all the love I thought had died came back.”
Olawande’s story has touched many listeners, showing that honesty, communication, and effort can help reignite love in even the most difficult seasons.
5. Juma Jux explains why he had multiple weddings with Priscilla Ojo
Tanzanian singer Juma Jux shed light on why he held multiple wedding ceremonies with Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo. The music star said each celebration was a tribute to the key moments and places in their relationship.
In a recent video, Jux shared that although they’ve already had six wedding events, they still wanted more. He explained that each location played a role in their love journey, and he hoped to honour them all. However, his plans had to slow down because his bride, Priscilla, is exhausted.
“This is the final round, the big one,” Jux said in the video. “I call it the final one because my wife is tired already. Five or six weddings are not even enough for me. I wanted more. I even wanted one at the place where we first met. But she has no energy left, she has tried.”
He added that Priscilla has faced more pressure than he has, especially when it comes to dressing for each ceremony. “She always tells me, ‘It’s easy for you. You just wear a suit. But I have to go through a lot with dressing,’” he said. “I understand her.”
The couple is now preparing for their final wedding celebration. It will take place on May 28, 2025, in Tanzania. Jux promised it would be their biggest and most unforgettable celebration yet.
“Tanzania is the last one. And because it’s the last, I’m going all out,” he said. “Friends are flying in from Uganda, Kenya, China, the USA, and of course, from Tanzania. It’s going to be crazy.”
Their love story, marked by multiple celebrations, is one Jux says he’ll always cherish.
