October 30, 2024 Adidas Ends Dispute with Kanye West Over Antisemitism Controversy

Adidas Ends Dispute with Kanye West Over Antisemitism Controversy

German multinational Adidas has concluded all legal proceedings with American rapper Kanye West, also known as Yeezy. The company had initially ended its partnership with West in 2022 after public pressure from the American Jewish Committee (AJC) over his antisemitic remarks.

On Tuesday, Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden confirmed that the company reached an out-of-court settlement with West, ending all legal matters without any financial exchange. “The drama with West belongs to the past. Negotiations and settlements have been done,” Gulden said, though specific details of the agreement were not disclosed.

Following the termination of their partnership in 2022, Adidas was left with Yeezy stock valued at approximately €1.2 billion (£840 million). With the legal dispute now resolved, the company announced that it will sell off the remaining Yeezy stock by the end of 2024.

 

October 29, 2024 Foluke Daramola’s Husband Confirms Marriage to Second Wife

Foluke Daramola’s Husband Confirms Marriage to Second Wife

Actress Foluke Daramola’s husband, Kayode Salako, has confirmed his marriage to Oluwafunke Oyegoke-Salako, with whom he shares a child. Addressing recent rumors that he fathered a child outside his marriage, Salako clarified in a Facebook post that his wife, Foluke, supported his decision to have a child with Oluwafunke.

Salako explained that after 13 years of marriage without biological children, he and Foluke discussed the need to secure his legacy. “It took me three years of asking Foluke to allow me to have at least one or two children here in Nigeria to secure my old age, as I am not infertile,” he shared. “I’m over 50, and I don’t want to turn 70 without children around me. We’ve been together for over 13 years, but we haven’t had a child. She understood this after a while and gave her blessing.”

The union has since welcomed a daughter, Murewa Omowonuola Salako, as a result of this mutual understanding. Salako married Foluke in 2010, and the news of his second marriage and child with Oluwafunke Oyegoke-Salako has been a topic of conversation since 2023.

October 29, 2024 VDM Appeals Court Ruling in Defamation Case Filed by Falana and Falz

VDM Appeals Court Ruling in Defamation Case Filed by Falana and Falz

Social media influencer Martins Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman, has filed an application with the Lagos High Court seeking permission to appeal an October 14, 2024, ruling by Justice Matthias Dawodu. This ruling had ordered Verydarkman to remove allegedly defamatory videos and comments about Senior Advocate of Nigeria Femi Falana and his son, musician Folarin Falana, known as Falz. The controversial statements accused the Falanas of accepting N10 million from crossdresser Idris Okuneye (Bobrisky) to influence a legal outcome.

Justice Dawodu’s ruling also restrained Verydarkman from further posting or sharing defamatory content against the Falanas on his social media platforms while the case proceeds. In his latest application, dated October 18, Verydarkman asked the court to extend the time to seek leave for an appeal, arguing that the original order was based solely on the Falanas’ affidavit and that his constitutional right to appeal requires court approval due to the interlocutory nature of the order.

He contended that a refusal to grant leave to appeal would amount to a miscarriage of justice, stressing the importance of appellate courts in reviewing trial court decisions to uphold judicial integrity. His attorney, Oladimeji Joseph, further supported the motion, highlighting the need for court permission before proceeding with an appeal. Joseph noted that Verydarkman has 14 days from the ruling date to file for this leave and urged the court to grant the request to ensure a fair and thorough legal review of the case.

October 28, 2024 Baba Ijesha Case: Suspended Actress Nkechi Blessing Apologizes to TAMPAN, Says “Please, Forgive Me”

Baba Ijesha Case: Suspended Actress Nkechi Blessing Apologizes to TAMPAN, Says “Please, Forgive Me”

Suspended Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing recently issued a heartfelt public apology to the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners of Nigeria (TAMPAN) for her past criticism. TAMPAN, the governing body for Yoruba actors and filmmakers in Nigeria, suspended Blessing three years ago following an online dispute with actor Lege Maimi over Baba Ijesha’s alleged child abuse case.

The fallout stemmed from Blessing and fellow actress Iyabo Ojo’s outspoken campaign against Baba Ijesha, which drew criticism from several TAMPAN members, including actors Yomi Fabiyi and Lege Maimi. Amid the controversy, veteran actor Jide Kosoko announced that TAMPAN directors would no longer work with Ojo and Blessing, prompting Blessing to publicly mock the decision.

At the 2024 Celebrities Entertainment Awards in Canada, Blessing apologized to TAMPAN with visible emotion. In a viral video, she said, “I am so sorry for all that I did. I’m begging from the bottom of my heart... I’m being celebrated all over the world because of you. Please, I’m sorry.”

TAMPAN President Mr. Latin accepted her apology, marking a step toward resolution, while actor Odunlade Adekola commended her for the public gesture. Baba Ijesha was sentenced to prison in July 2022 by Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Ikeja Special Offences Court after a year-long trial.
