However, viewers got a clear answer as the pair were caught having sex in the toilet thinking they were away from the cameras. This came after Miracle had accused all housemates of having sex, noting that it was the reason for the missing condoms.
Nevertheless, Murtala Mohammed International Airport witnessed a huge crowd that gathered to welcome the evicted Big Brother Naija housemates, Teddy A, a rapper and his in-house lover Bambam an actress and singer who were evicted by the show host, Ebuka last weekend.
The crowd cheered in excitement upon seeing the white limousine that was rented to usher them into Lagos from the airport. Obviously over whelmed by the enthusiasm of the crowd, Teddy A and Bambam were nearly driven to tears as they hugged their teeming fans.
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.
