Top Blogger, Linda Ikeji Gets Pregnant …Don Jazzy Fingered
Top Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji has opened up about her pregnancy and having sex outside marriage. Miss Ikeji in a post on her blog joyfully broke the news of her pregnancy but the news has generated mixed reactions as some social media users have questioned her stand on celibacy which she passionately advised young girls to practise.
Reacting to the criticisms, Miss Ikeji posted on twitter last Monday: “I preached celibacy to young girls because I feel that’s the right way to live until you meet someone very special that you love and who loves you and wants to be in a committed relationship. Passing body around and having multiple partners is not the way and I stand by it”.
“And I’ve lived by it. But then I turned 36 and I know there was nothing else I wanted more than to be a mum and wife and celibacy wasn’t going to get me that. I even did a video talking about how much I wanted these two things and God has finally answered my prayers, Beyond blessed”.
The blogger revealed the sex of her unborn child, this is as the social media is buzzing with the news of her pregnancy. Linda had in a post on her blog disclosed that she is pregnant. Speaking further on how she found out she was pregnant, she disclosed that she will be expecting a baby boy, Linda wrote.
“2018 started with me finding out I was pregnant when I missed my period and my friend and I did a home pregnancy test and it read positive, my friend began to cry with happiness but I was just there staring at the stick like you’re not messing with me, are you? This is real and not a joke on me, right?”.
‘I refused to believe it and asked my friend to drive me to a lab for another test and there it was confirmed I was pregnant, me, Linda, I am going to have my own child, please don’t wake me up from this lovely dream… Oh, so now, imagine that in few months, I will look down at a baby and it won’t be a neighbour’s child, a friend’s child, a sister’s child, but my own child, my own flesh and blood carried in my womb, my son, its so real I can’t get over it.
Meanwhile, music entrepreneur, Michael Ajereh better known as Don Jazzy denied being the father of the expected baby of his long time crush and celebrity, Blogger Linda Ikeji last Sunday with a lengthy emotional post, chronicling her journey and her excitement when she found out she was pregnant.
Following speculations that Don Jazzy was the father of the baby after the news of the pregnancy broke, he went on his twitter handle to refute the claim. It was gathered that after the announcement of Ikeji’s engagement in March, Don Jazzy shared a picture of himself being consoled by friends with the caption, “Kai, Linda is engaged, it is finished”. Before the news, Don Jazzy had made several moves and also proposed to her on social media and his Instagram handle.
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.
