The Annual Film Mischief festival's organizers have announced its second edition for 2023.

The festival's 2023 edition, themed #ShootTheCulture, will continue to draw passionate short film fans and creators from  all over Africa to the city of Lagos, Nigeria.

The festival, which, like the first edition, will mostly highlight films of Nigerian provenance, but also include films from other African countries.

Victony, a rising Nigerian musician and Spotify RADAR Africa graduate, is releasing the country's first-ever Spotify Single, a rendition of Davido's "Dami Duro." The cover, which is only accessible on Spotify, is a disco-inspired take on Davido's legendary decade-old party hit.

Victony made his debut on the music world with his mixtape 'The Outlaw King.' He began making Rap music and has now evolved into a diversified combination of Afrobeats, R&B, Trap, and Afropop sounds.

In 2021, he continued to convert ears with critically praised hits such as 'Pray' and Mayorkun's smash tune, 'Holy Father.' Outlaw EP, published in May of this year, featured the contemplative single 'Kolomental' and the viral smash, 'Soweto,' which have collected millions of listens on Spotify.

American rapper, Kanye West has tendered his apology to people hurt by his series of anti-semitic comments in the past week.

West appeared on Piers Morgan’s Uncensored show which aired on Wednesday where he was called out by the host for targeting the Jewish community with hurtful remarks.

In one of the tweets that led to Twitter restricting his account, the rapper wrote, “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up, I’ll go death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE. The funny thing is I can’t actually be anti-semitic because black people are Jewish also. You people gave toyed with me and gave tried to blackball whoever opposes your agenda.”

Kanye later clarified that he meant to say Defcon 3 in the tweet. Defence readiness condition (Defcon) is an alert system used by the US military, with five levels of readiness, with level one being the highest. Defcon level 3 refers to “Increase in force readiness above normal readiness.”

While he first doubled down on the comments during the interview, West later acknowledged the fact that he had hurt people and caused “confusion”.

When asked if he regretted his “death con 3” tweet, Kanye said “No… Absolutely not.”

Afterward, the preview video cuts to him making a U-turn and tendering his apology.

The family of racial assault victim George Floyd has vowed to sue Kanye West for statements he made on the hip-hop podcast Drink Champs.

In the Saturday episode, West hinted that Floyd's death was caused by the usage of hard narcotics rather than by the police officer, Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of his murder.

"I saw Candace Owens' documentary about George Floyd. One of his two roommates stated that they desire a tall person like me, and on the day he died, he did an eight-minute prayer. They injected him with fentanyl. "Look, the guy's knee wasn't even on his neck like that," West explained in an interview.

While the medical examiner who pronounced the case murder agreed that Floyd's drug usage and heart condition had a role in his death, the principal cause of death was asphyxiation caused by the police officer's knee choking the corpse.

Following West's remarks, attorneys for the Floyd family and his daughter Gianna Floyd submitted a cease-and-desist order and stated their intention to sue the rapper for $250 million in damages, according to E! News.

“The interests of the child are priority. George Floyd’s daughter is being re-traumatised by Kanye West’s comments and he’s creating an unsafe and unhealthy environment for her.

“Free speech rights do not include harassment, lies, misrepresentation and the misappropriation of George Floyd’s legacy. Some words have consequences and Mr. West will be made to understand that,” the Floyds’ attorney’s wrote in a statement to E!

In the cease-and-desist issued to West, the attorneys claimed that their clients “are very distressed and hurt by the allegations” made by the rapper.

“You have maliciously made statements that are inaccurate and unfounded, causing damage to Mr. Floyd’s estate and his family,” the letter read.

While West has not replied to the letter, the episode in which he made the comments at the podcast has been pulled down.
