Tonto
The fact that Rivers
State born controversial actress, Tonto Dike, has won the best actress award organised by the Explicate Lady of the Year (ELOY) awards held on Sunday, November 24, 2013 in Victoria Island Lagos is no longer news.
The latest news making the rounds in the Nigerian entertainment clan is that the A-list screen goddess has hooked a big guy as her latest hubby who spoils her silly with expensive jewels and other costly items.
The rich dude, Michael Olusola Awujoola, popularly called Sola is said to be a concierge, the man behind the purchase of gold plated accessories most Nigerian celebrities flaunt on social media platforms. He also bought a gold plated iphone for Tonto amongst other expensive gifts.
Tonto used the opportunity offered her by the award night to introduce this guy to the guests. She is also said to have been flaunting the new lover around in events they attend together.
It would be recalled that over time, the sultry actress has been described by some people as an ecentric, especially with her care free attitude, while others have wondered if any man could successfully tame her.
Although her name has been linked to so many men that allegedly dated her in the past, Tonto has decided to flaunt her new heartthrob as the man in her life.
Sola, who is also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Malivelihood is said to be living large through his business of customising jewelries and accessories for top celebrities.
Prior to her new found love, it was reported that gifted Hip-Hop star, Wande Coal, is seriously dreaming of holding the beautiful Tonto in his arm with a dream of calling her ‘My Baby’. Wande Coal, who reportedly revealed his admiration in a brief press interview after his performance in London recently, said Tonto Dike is that actress he would like to date, when the question was thrown at him.
The report further went on to state that why this could surprise many is because of the fact that the actress has been rumoured to have dated D’Banj, who was like mentor of sort to Wande Coal.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
