Popular Nollywood actor, Rotimi Salami hospitalised

This was made known on Monday in a post on the actor’s Instagram page.

Sharing a picture of himself on a hospital bed, Rotimi stated that he narrowly escaped death within the last 48 hours.

While appreciating God for saving him, he noted that Kilanko, a newly released cinema movie in honour of the late Allwell Ademola, has taken a lot from him.

“I survived the last 48 hours because God said yes. I’m not the type to say ‘Devil is a liar’ because I’ve truly stressed this body. Kilanko has taken too much from me,” he revealed.

BBNaija’s Angel Smith’s partner accuses her of cheating weeks after wedding

Tumininu, the partner of Big Brother Naija reality TV star Angel Smith, has accused her of cheating.

This comes less than a month after their white wedding.

DAILY POST reports that Angel got married to a female partner in March 2026. The same-sex marriage was held in the United States.

While accusing Angel of cheating on her with another woman she met on a dating app, Tumininu said she had spent more than N100 million on Angel, along with other significant sacrifices to keep their relationship.

Reacting to critics of her post, Tumininu wrote: “After everything I did for Angel, when una no know most of the shit that has happened. Since you got here I have spent over 100k dollars on Angel. On her birthday I spent about 50k dollars. And yet you still went and slept with a girl that you met on Hinge.

“She’s currently at the girl’s house. LMAO after everything. Make una no make my blood hot, or else I go scatter everywhere. I dey my own,” she said.

As of the time of this report, Angel is yet to speak on the allegation.

Why I changed my mind not to womanise – Singer Lojay

Nigerian singer Lekan Osifeso Junior, popularly known as Lojay, has revealed that his initial thought about being a pop star was an opportunity to womanise.

Speaking in an episode of the I Said What I Said podcast, the Monalisa crooner explained that his perspective changed after he realised that, to have a long and successful career, he needed a certain level of sexual discipline.

“There is a lot of temptation in the music industry. You will see a lot of things, but you are not meant to touch. I used to think I would frolic with a lot of ladies because there are babes everywhere. But when you have about 100 girls talking to you, that is when you need to cultivate discipline.

“I realised if you want a long career like the Big 3, you have to stay away from too many girls,” he said.

Lojay also revealed that one of his cultural shocks in the music industry was that the lifestyles of other artists that used to entice him when he was an underground artist were not as appealing when he got into the mainstream.

He claimed that there is a lot more discipline in the music industry than many assume, stressing that musicians are mindful of their words and actions because they have reputations to protect.

He, however, admitted that his personality also helped him to be more disciplined than most of his colleagues in terms of womanising and extravagant lifestyle.
