Chika Ike Laments As She Covers La Mode Magazine

Nollywood actress and producer, Chika Ike is the cover girl for the June 2017 issue of La Mode Magazine tagged, ‘Classy. Sassy. Sexy’.

In her interview with the magazine, the 31-year-old actress opens up on the hardest part of being a celebrity.

“My hardest part of being a celebrity is that people tend to see you not the way you see yourself. They get to judge you before they know you and also the fact that you lose your privacy. I am aware that I have people that love me, and those that do not love me. So I have to be careful. Definitely things have changed; FAME has taken away my privacy and made people judge me before they even know me,” she said.

Falz says he wasn't pressured to become a lawyer | fab.ng

Nigerian rapper Falz has clarified that he was not pressured to study law due to his father’s success in the field.

Falz revealed in an interview with Chude Jideonwo on the “With Chude” podcast that his father, Femi Falana SAN, helped and fought for people who inspired him. This experience motivated him to pursue a legal career, contrary to popular belief.

He said,

“I won’t say it was pressure but when I was super young, it was like, ‘These people have to be something’ because I was already getting that reaction everywhere I went. And if I ever mentioned my name, people would be like, ‘Which Falana? Is it Femi Falana? Oh wow.'”

“Everyone sort of had a story about how my dad came to their aid at some point in time and how he fought for them and was there for them. At that time it was me taking everything in, like, ‘this is something’. So at that point in time, I wasn’t pressured; I aspired to emulate what he was doing,” he added.

This recognition made a deep impact on him, and he decided on his own to study law. Although he pursued a legal education, he practiced law only for a short period.

His decision to enter the field came from personal motivation. Despite his brief time practicing, the experience left its mark. Indeed, it shaped his perspective and contributing to his overall journey.

“I did practice law for a short period of time. Very short, almost two years. I worked at the Ministry of Justice during my youth service, which was like 2012 or so, then in 2013 I was at my father’s firm and 2014 was when things started to pick up for me so I started going out of practice,” he added in between laughter.

Bobrisky Breaks Silence on Falz Defamation Claims | fab.ng

Following a 24-hour ultimatum to retract defamatory statements made against Nigerian singer Falz and his father in a viral voice note, crossdresser Bobrisky has issued a statement.

In an Instagram post on October 16, 2023, Bobrisky denied making any defamatory remarks about Falz or his father. He emphasized that he is awaiting an official response from his legal counsel before providing further details on the matter.

This statement comes in response to the serious allegations made against Bobrisky, which have sparked widespread public attention and concern.

He wrote,

“TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: In reply to the two letters in circulation from the Law Firm of the Falanas. I like to state for the records and pending the official reply from my counsel, state for the avoidance of doubt that I, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, aka Bobrisky, did not publish any defamatory statement or statements concerning the learnt SAN and his Son Falz.”

Bobrisky demands accountability from the publisher of defamatory statements against Falz and his father.

“It is in the public domain pursuant to my solicitor’s letter dated the 27th day of September 2024 that I have denied any knowledge of what VDM published. I stand by my express denial and put the matter to strict proof and advise that whoever has been defamed should hold the publisher of the defamatory content and my fundamental rights to privacy of my communications should be respected and protected.”

In another story post, Bobrisky emphasized that the responsibility lay with Verydarkman, not him.

“I OKUNEYE idris aka BOBRISKY didn’t give Falz or his dad any money for pardon. As a matter of fact no penny was given to them. Have said dis before and i will say it again. The person that published an Audio online should take fully responsible for what he posted in public. My lawyer will respond to any further information d public want to about dis ongoing issue trending on social media,” he wrote.

The controversy erupted when media personality Verydarkman released an alleged voice note from Bobrisky that quickly spread across the internet.

In this explosive recording, Bobrisky openly admitted that he had evaded prison time despite receiving a sentence for money laundering. Furthermore, the crossdresser boldly claimed that he had paid both Falz and his father to secure a pardon.

Subsequently, after the damaging voice note became public, Falz and his father’s law chambers took immediate action by issuing a stern 24-hour ultimatum to Verydarkman, demanding that he retract his statement.

However, Verydarkman remained defiant and refused to comply with their demands. As a result of his non-compliance, the legal battle intensified, leading to the court’s decisive action.

Finally, the court ruled against Verydarkman. They imposed a substantial fine of ₦500 million. Additionally, they ordered him to remove all defamatory posts related to the matter.

Davido describes 'Timeless' as his best album | fab.ng

Davido, the Grammy-nominated singer, recently opened up about his fashion choices and upcoming album during an interview with comedian and actor Broda Shaggi at the launch of his new Puma collection. Davido also shared that his best album yet is “Timeless”.

In the interview, Davido discussed the inspirations behind his unique style. He revealed that he is drawn to urban fashion but adapts his wardrobe to suit different events and occasions. This flexibility allows him to express his personal style while remaining versatile and relevant.

“They say I like to dress like a rapper because I love urban fashion. I love wearing T-shirts, jeans, and sneakers to look comfortable. You will find me in a suit when it’s time to collect money. Sometimes, I also wear Agbada,” Davido shared.

Davido, the renowned Nigerian singer, has named his fourth album, “Timeless,” as his personal favorite. Released in March 2023, “Timeless” broke numerous streaming records on platforms like Spotify, Audiomack, Boomplay, and YouTube in Nigeria. Its exceptional success earned it a Grammy nomination for Best Global Album.

The album also featured the hit singles “Unavailable” with Musa Keys (also nominated for a Grammy) and “Feel” (another Grammy nominee). Davido’s impressive achievements with “Timeless” have set the bar high for his future projects.

In recent interviews, Davido has expressed his ambition to surpass the success of “Timeless” with his upcoming album. This determination aligns with his previous statements made earlier this year during a visit from American content creator Kai Cenat.

As fans eagerly await Davido’s next musical endeavor, anticipation is building for his collaboration with Jamaican star YG Marley, which is expected to kick off the album’s release.
