US Rapper, Drake Hospitalised
United States Rapper, Drake has been hospitalised after collapsing on stage due to a sudden illness. Reports have it that the rapper collapsed on stage while rehearsing at American Airlines in Miami, Florida.
The rapper fell ill abruptly and couldn’t perform, a situation which led to the cancellation of the shows. Drake made an apology to his teeming fans.
“I simply needed to say how sorry I’m about these two exhibits in Miami” he wrote on Instagram story. I had by no means skilled something like this in my life.
However, Drake did not state the kind of illness that made him break down. He added: “In contrast to different present cancellations or date changes resulting from many points, this one has fallen on me and I simply wish to apologise as a result of I hate to let down those that came to share these moments with us.”
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.
