Nigerian superstar Davido is set to headline his first stadium concert in the United Kingdom in 2025.

On July 3, 2025, Davido will take center stage at the 60,000-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, sharing the spotlight with global icons 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige. Known for his massive success and multiple sold-out performances, Davido will mark another major milestone in his career with this groundbreaking show.

The four-time Grammy nominee, one of Africa's biggest music exports, will bring his hit singles to the stage alongside the multi-platinum rapper 50 Cent and nine-time Grammy winner Mary J. Blige, both of whom have over two decades of global success. This will be Davido's first headline stadium concert in the UK, where he has already sold out multiple arenas, including the iconic O2 Arena.

Presented by Iconic, the event will bring together stars from different genres, offering an exciting live music experience that spans several eras. Davido's international acclaim is underscored by the impressive company he’ll be keeping on stage.

In addition to his extensive catalog of smash hits, Davido will also be releasing his fifth album, 5ive, in March 2025, promising even more new music for his fans.

Popular Nollywood actresses Funke Akindele and Faithia Williams have stirred up rumors of rift after unfollowing each other on Instagram.

The two stars, once regarded as close colleagues who frequently supported each other’s work, appear to have hit a rough patch. Reports suggest the fallout began when Faithia failed to attend Akindele’s recent movie premiere but was spotted at Mercy Aigbe’s event instead.

Insiders claim Faithia’s absence may have been intentional, allegedly in response to Akindele skipping her father’s burial despite being invited.

Following this, Funke Akindele unfollowed Faithia Williams on Instagram, and a quick check revealed that both actresses have since severed their social media connection.

Fans and industry watchers are speculating about the reasons behind the apparent feud, though neither actress has publicly addressed the situation.

Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has shared her emotional experience of how public opinion turned against her following her divorce from Teebillz in 2018.

In a recent interview on the Receipts podcast on Spotify, Tiwa reflected on the immense love and support she enjoyed from Nigerians when she first rose to fame. She recounted how she was celebrated for seemingly following societal expectations—pursuing higher education, avoiding becoming a single mother, getting married, and having a child in that order.

"When I came out, I was Nigeria's sweetheart. I could do no wrong in their eyes," she said. "I did everything by the book, and everyone loved me. Then, everything changed after the divorce."

Tiwa explained how the public fallout from her highly publicized divorce marked a turning point in her relationship with her fans. After her ex-husband announced their separation online, she faced an onslaught of criticism and blame, despite not being the one who initiated the breakup.

"I started getting hate from blogs and people. My baby was just a few months old; I was dealing with postpartum; my body had changed, and I was really depressed," she revealed. "While some people went to him, only a few came to check on me."

The situation worsened after Tiwa decided to publicly share her side of the story in an interview. Rather than receiving understanding, she was met with more backlash. "People were like, 'How dare you speak out? You're a woman; you’re supposed to keep the home together. It's your fault,'" she said.

She also recalled how influential figures discouraged her from addressing the matter, warning her that speaking out would harm her image. "I remember famous people telling me I’d never win if I told my side. Since then, I’ve decided never to talk about it again because of how heartbreaking the public’s reaction was," Tiwa added.

Her candid revelations highlight the intense scrutiny and societal pressure women often face in the wake of personal challenges, especially in the public eye.

Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has raised an alarm about a new scam method used by fraudsters to extort unsuspecting individuals of their hard-earned money.

In a post shared on her Instagram page, Tonto detailed how these criminals execute their scheme. According to her, the fraudsters approach their target in public, crying, wailing, and accusing them of making a fake transfer for an item they allegedly purchased. This act draws the attention of bystanders, creating a tense situation that pressures the target into paying up to avoid public embarrassment or even mob action.

Tonto cautioned the public to remain vigilant and stay safe, emphasizing the risks of falling victim to such schemes. She wrote, “Beware: Someone could approach you in public, crying and wailing, accusing you of making a fake transfer for something you allegedly bought. A crowd gathers, tensions rise, and you’re forced to either pay up or risk facing jungle justice. Now imagine the embarrassment, wasted time, potential property loss, or even harm to yourself before any help arrives. Stay vigilant and stay safe because outside is wild these days.”

Tonto’s warning follows a growing trend of Nigerian celebrities alerting the public to various fraudulent practices. Recently, Yoruba actress Ronke Oshodi Oke shared a similar warning about a highway robbery tactic. In a video she posted, a man narrated his near-robbery experience, prompting Ronke to advise the public to exercise caution when faced with unusual situations on the road.

These warnings serve as reminders for everyone to be cautious and alert, especially in public spaces or unusual circumstances, as fraudsters continue to devise new ways to exploit unsuspecting victims.
