Afrobeats sensational singer, Tiwa Savage, is set to launch her debut into the film industry with ‘Water and Garri’.
The movie according to the ‘African Bad Girl’ will stream on May 10, 2024.
Speaking on her role as a producer in an interview with ABC News, Tiwa Savage said that working on the project, which was directed by Meji Alabi, saw her put her “boss lady” on.
She said: “Executive producing was like me just putting my boss hat on and trying to be a boss lady in all aspects of my life. It was fun and it was stressful doing that and also starring in it. But it just showed me that I can do anything I put my mind to. There are so many things that I have dreams of accomplishing and now I’m really motivated.”
She also spoke about why she decided to go into acting and why the movie bears the same title as her 2021 EP.
She added: “I’ve always wanted to do acting. I’ve always wanted to do movies. Actually, that was my first love before music. So it felt like a full circle moment for me. I just felt it was time for me to finally get into that. I never wanted to let go of music, so it’s a great way for me to still embody that.”
Savage said that she was drawn to the film because it was told from a female perspective.
Water and Garri follows a Nigerian fashion designer who returns to the country after building a successful career in the US.
“It’s a story first of all told by a female from a female point of view. I’m always an advocate for that and I don’t think we have enough of that in the space of Nollywood and just in Africa in general. We do have but I don’t think we have enough. It’s refreshing for me. It’s a story about love, female empowerment,” she said.
Savage also spoke about the rise of Afrobeats in the West.
“I feel like genres like RnB, jazz, and soul all originated from Africa, so it’s a full circle moment to have Afrobeats having its moment right now. And then hear elements of it from the rhythm to the soul in the music. I felt like we were losing a bit of that in commercial music these days. It’s good to see that African music is getting its shine again,” she added.
Actress Regina Daniels revealed that she has emotionally stepped away from marriage but still hopes to have a daughter.
Speaking during a livestream with TikTok personality Jarvis, Daniels reflected on motherhood and relationships.
She revealed she has not seen her children since last year, though she remains hopeful they will reunite soon.
The mother of two explained that for personal reasons, she no longer envisions remarrying.
However, she expressed a strong desire to have a baby girl. According to her, raising a daughter offers a deeper connection to motherhood.
Daniels said having a female child brings a different and more profound understanding of being a mother.
“The last time I saw my children was last year. I know one day, I’ll see them again, very soon. But for some reason I have checked my mind out of getting married but I’m yet to have a girl and I must have a girl child. I feel like you’d understand motherhood better when you have a girl child”, she said.
In October last year, she parted ways with her husband, Ned Nwoko, following a public disagreement.
Popular Nigerian Afrobeat musician, David Adeleke, also known as Davido, has raised alarm over an alleged plot to deregister Accord party ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State.
The singer made the claim a post on X on Thursday.
Why questioning reasons for the deregistration, Davido called for free and fair election.
He wrote; “Deregister Accord party for what? Cowards let’s go to the field.”
This is coming 48 hours after the singer called out Gboyega Oyetola, the minister of Marine and Blue Economy, and the immediate past governor of the state over alleged desperate plan.
Recall that Osun State’s current governor and Davido’s uncle, Ademola Adeleke, announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in December 2025 following the party’s national leadership crisis and legal dispute and joined Accord Party for his re-election.
The Osun State governorship election is scheduled for August 15, 2026.
In a post via Instagram on Thursday, Temi shared a video of herself in a white two-piece dress, proudly showing off her baby bump.
In the accompanying caption, she quoted a biblical verse, expressing faith in God’s protection over her unborn child.
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, in set you apart,” she wrote.
Fans and colleagues have taken to the post’s comment section to congratulate the expecting parents.
Joining the comment section is Temi’s sister, DJ Cuppy, who expressed joy at becoming an aunt.
“I’m going to be an auntyyy,” she wrote.
The pregnancy announcement comes a few months after Eazi dismissed claims that he had already welcomed his first child with Temi.
Recall that the couple’s romance began in 2017 when they started dating.
They got engaged in April 2023.
In August 2025, Mr Eazi and Temi tied the knot in a private wedding ceremony at Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavik, Iceland.
In an exclusive feature with Vogue Magazine, the couple released their wedding photos and revealed that they held ceremonies in three countries: Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland.
According to the couple, their court wedding took place on May 9 in Monaco, their traditional wedding was held on July 5 in Dubai, while the white wedding was held in Iceland.
Following the high-profile wedding, Temi, the daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, also updated her social media bio to reflect her marital status by adopting her husband’s surname, Ajibade.
