I became a boss lady over ‘Water and Garri’ movie debut – Tiwa Savage

By Francesca Hangeior
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.

Mohbad’s ally, Spending queries wife Wunmi for hiding vital details of cause of his death

A close friend of the late singer Mohbad, known as Spending, has made shocking allegations against the artist’s wife, Wunmi, questioning her role in the events leading to his tragic passing.
In a series of Instagram story posts, Spending claimed that Wunmi misrepresented Mohbad’s final moments and engaged in actions that raised suspicions.
Recounting the incident of September 10, 2023, Spending revealed that after Primeboy left Mohbad’s team, only a few individuals were present in the car heading home—Wunmi, Mohbad, their child Liam, Darosha, OG (the driver), and himself.
According to Spending, Wunmi engaged in a heated argument with Mohbad, physically dragging his clothes despite his injuries from a prior performance.
“You kept screaming and cursing Mohbad. Even Darosha tried to intervene. Your argument escalated to the point where you threatened to end Mohbad’s career, just like Lil Frosh’s career was ended by his girlfriend,” he alleged.
Spending also refuted Wunmi’s claims that she provided first aid to Mohbad after they got home. Instead, he stated that it was Bami, another friend, who bought and applied the necessary treatment to Mohbad’s wounds.
He revealed that at 11 a.m. the following day, Mohbad requested a nurse, as his regular one was unavailable. However, after leaving the house, Spending was later shocked to hear that Mohbad had died.
“The last time I saw Mohbad alive was around 11 a.m. on Monday. The next thing I heard was that he had passed away. I saw his lifeless body outside a hospital in Osapa London. It was shocking and unbelievable,” he recounted.
In a particularly startling claim, Spending questioned why Wunmi threw a white item on Mohbad’s coffin, asking if it had any significance.
“You claimed to be protecting him, but why didn’t you protect him when he was alive and needed help?” he asked.
Spending further accused Wunmi of inconsistencies in her statements, including:
Her conflicting accounts about the nurse’s visit.
Her denial of being present when Mohbad received his third injection.
“Wunmi, why are you going around with all these false narratives? There is nothing wrong with speaking out, but only if you are being honest,” he concluded.
These allegations have further intensified public scrutiny surrounding Mohbad’s sudden and mysterious death, with fans and family members continuing to demand justice.

Burna Boy opens up over “you didn’t buy me Lambo saga’

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy has broken his silence after socialite Sophia Egbueje allegedly called him out over an unfulfilled promise involving a Lamborghini.
The controversy, which recently gained traction on social media, began when Egbueje allegedly accused Burna Boy of failing to deliver on a promise to buy her a luxury car following an encounter.
In a leaked audio recording, she claimed Burna Boy made several commitments, including purchasing a Lamborghini for her, which influenced her decision to engage with him.
However, she alleged that after their encounter, the singer became unresponsive and did not fulfill his promises.
As the revelations sparked discussions online, various public figures and media personalities weighed in on the unfolding drama.
Burna Boy, in a video post, seemingly addressed the issue on social media.
While he did not outrightly deny Egbueje’s claims, he appeared to throw subtle shades in a video.
In the clip, the ‘Bundle by Bundle’ crooner was seen composing a mockery song about the situation, suggesting a fuss over the Lamborghini.
He could be heard saying, “If you no get me, forget about it. I no buy you Lambo, is that why you are shouting. Where dem dey. I no dey see them at all.”
The video has since fueled further reactions, with fans and critics sharing their opinions on the controversy.

Video: ‘Wigs, human hair diabolical, carry misfortune’ – Singer Natalie Okri

British singer, Natalie Okri has stated that some human hairs are sacrifices to deities and unknown gods.
The singer made this claim while speaking on why she stopped wearing wigs.
According to her, in some parts of Asia, women offer their hair at the temple to purify themselves, to shed bad luck and poverty.
Natalie Okri in a video shared on her Instagram page, explained that some of these human hairs are often sold to big vendors. She noted that black women purchasing them might be wearing someone else’s bad luck unknowingly.
“There are 3 reasons why I stopped wearing wigs and human hairs: some human hairs are sacrifice to demons, deities and other unknown gods.
“A lot of women in some countries like Asia, they go to the temple to sacrifice their hair to their god, believing that their gods will purify and cleanse them. They gave their hair as a form of getting rid of bad luck, poverty and every other thing stressing them and they started life anew.
“Those working in the temple take their hair and sell it off to the European market or to different big vendors like Ali Baba, Ali Express and different brands. And we black women go to those websites to buy these hairs at hundreds of pounds.
“We are wearing someone’s bad luck on our heads. You may not believe in their god but as a Christian, that works against what I believe in, because we see them as demons and deities.”
Natalie Okri is a British singer, who rose to fame in 2009 after performing at Britain’s Got Talent.
