Jay-Z led the nominations for the 60th Grammy Awards, announced on Tuesday morning, with eight.

Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Andra Day announced the nominees in the four general field categories: best new artist, record of the year, song of the year, and album of the year on “CBS This Morning” at 8:30 a.m. ET/5:30 a.m. PT.

Iyabo Ojo Expresses Regret Over Advocating Mohbad’s Exhumation

Reporter
Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has publicly expressed regret for advocating for the exhumation of late singer Mohbad’s body during the investigation into his untimely death.
During a recent interview on the Talk to B Podcast, Iyabo revealed that her initial calls for exhumation were motivated by a fervent desire for justice and a need for clarity surrounding the circumstances of Mohbad’s passing.
At that time, she did not anticipate the prolonged and seemingly stagnant nature of the investigation.
The actress explained,
“I wouldn’t have requested that Mohbad be exhumed if I knew his case would turn out this way. I just wanted Mohbad’s body exhumed so they could do the autopsy to find out the cause of his death; I did my best to be sure that everyone was investigated, but when they came up with different theories, DNA became more important to them.”
The sudden and unexpected death of Nigerian singer Mohbad on September 12, 2023, sent shockwaves through the nation and beyond, leaving many bewildered.
The circumstances surrounding his passing fueled widespread calls for a thorough investigation, particularly after his family hurriedly buried him less than two days later in a small casket.
Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, explained the hasty burial by citing his son’s young age. Also, the burial site represented the only known property owned by his son.
Following the launch of investigations, authorities exhumed Mohbad’s body.
Subsequent investigations revealed that a quack nurse named Feyisayo Ogedengbe had administered a series of injections to the singer.
These injections, consisting of tetanus toxoid, paracetamol, and an antibiotic known as Cetrazone, triggered an immediate adverse reaction. This includes vomiting, goosebumps, and convulsions.
Mohbad was subsequently rushed to Perez Medcare Hospital for emergency medical attention, but tragically, he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
The hospital issued a statement confirming that Mohbad did not die within their facility. And that all resuscitation efforts proved unsuccessful.
Social media erupted with calls for justice, with prominent figures like Iyabo Ojo actively voicing their support for the cause.
However, nearly two years later, Mohbad remains unburied, leaving a lingering sense of uncertainty and frustration.

Rapper Ice Prince’s Baby Mama Calls Him Out For Neglecting Their Son

Reporter
Nigerian rapper Panshak Zamani, widely known as Ice Prince, has been publicly accused of gross negligence towards the health and well-being of his son by his baby mama, Maimah.
Maimah, frustrated by years of inaction, took to Instagram to publicly address this ongoing issue. She claims it has persisted since their son, Jamal, was born twelve years ago.
In her candid post, Maimah revealed that Ice Prince, the 35-year-old hip-hop artist, callously suggested that their son could live at his family home in Jos if she was unable to provide adequate housing.
This insensitive remark followed her request for him to contribute half of her rent, given that their son resides with her.
Maimah further detailed Ice Prince’s apparent indifference towards their son’s health. She claimed that he would often delay seeking medical attention for Jamal.
He would wait for her to become agitated and use profanity before he would arrange for someone to take their son to the hospital during his illness.
Adding to the gravity of the situation, Maimah disclosed that Jamal recently commenced a new school term without necessities. They include clean clothes, water, and provisions, despite being under his father’s care.
In her words,
“A child I raised for 12 years. I’ve left him for you, Panshak. Yet you neglect this boy emotionally, physically, and financially. We will all reap what we sow.”
She continued,
“I wanted this on record so everyone knows what kind of person you are. All that fake humility is a farce. You are a damaged, terrible person at your core. You have one child and you can’t do right by him.
“I took down my posts earlier because I got a call from someone I respect and wanted resolution, but this is beyond me. I just need Panshak to do the right thing.”
