Nigerian artiste manager, Muyiwa Awoniyi, manager of Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has revealed that she was not financially stable when they first met.
Featuring a recent episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast, Awoniyi recalled that the singer had only N200 in her bank account during their first encounter.
He explained that despite Tems’ financial status, she was determined and dedicated, which made him agree to work with her.
He said, “There was something Tems did that made me say, ‘I don’t want to do a managerial contract with you, let’s do a company.’
“When she asked me to be her manager, I agreed and said I would send her a contact to sign. We had already verbally agreed for everything. You know when you present paperwork for artists to sign, it’s always tricky. But she was chasing me to sign my own part. And I have never experienced that before.
“I was like, ‘You don’t mind signing paperwork? Hold on, let’s not do this. You’re someone I can rock with for life. Let’s start a company.’ Prior to this, Tems and I were friends for about three months and we never spoke about working together.
“Back then when I was doing my podcast, she would just be sitting down while me and my cousin are talking.
“Then obviously, she wasn’t financially buoyant in any capacity. When I met Tems, she only had like 200 Naira in her account. And then I had a production company.
“So, if I had money, I would buy food. Another thing that shocked me was that even though she didn’t have money, she will order food for us. She didn’t even have a way of earning. So, I just realised that she is different from everyone I have seen in Nigeria.”
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.
Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja has announced the arrival of her baby boy, expressing deep gratitude to God, her husband, family, and friends for their support throughout her pregnancy journey.
The actress shared the news in an emotional post on her Instagram page on Wednesday, where she described her newborn son as “the most handsome baby boy I have ever seen.”
She wrote: “I just gave birth to the most handsome baby boy I have ever seen. I’m still so overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. 2025/2026… God truly ushered me into the most beautiful years of my life and wrote a story that only He can take the glory for. Pregnancy made me understand God’s love in such a deeper way, unconditional, intentional, and impossible to fully explain.”
Reflecting on scripture and her journey, she added: “His Word says, ‘Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, and your children like olive shoots around your table.’ And wow. God really did it in his perfect timing. You are truly a merciful God.”
Appreciating her husband, she wrote: “And to my husband, thank you for loving me so fiercely beautifully through every stage of our pregnancy. The prayers, reassurance, back rubs, trips, baths, endless gifts, food runs and the way you carried me emotionally and spiritually these past 9 months… baby, you are truly everything. Me, Win, and Zoey are so blessed to have you.
Sharon Ooja also thanked loved ones for respecting their privacy, saying: “Thank you to my family and friends for protecting our peace and allowing this journey to stay private, and off social media just as we requested, it was soft, and I genuinely enjoyed every bit of my pregnancy.”
She concluded with joy over her son’s name: “Our lives have changed forever. ‘W.I.N’ that’s his initials. I’ve always dreamed of being a mummy, and now I finally am. You can officially call me mama win, the yummiest mummy on the block and we officially back!! Thank You God.”
