Grammy-nominated singer Ayra Starr has revealed that cooking Nigerian meals is a vital part of her life, especially while touring.
In an intimate conversation with fellow singer Coco Jones, Ayra Starr emphasised the importance of home-cooked meals in keeping her happy and centered.
According to her, Nigerian food is more than just sustenance; it’s a source of comfort.
She said she prioritises eating Nigerian meals wherever she is, often opting for serviced apartments with kitchen facilities to cook her own meals.
She said: “Sometimes I just want to eat my food, and sometimes I try to stay in serviced apartments whenever I can so that I can cook. I feel like that keeps me and centres me. So even if I’m tired from a shoe and it’s late, even if it’s 9, 10, or 11 p.m., cooking is relaxing for me.
“I also try to eat Nigerian food wherever I am because it keeps me happy. I be like, ‘I don’t want to eat burgers again. Are we eating burgers again?’ please.”
Ayra Starr also shared other ways she unwinds on tour, including watching TV shows and seeking support from loved ones.
“One thing I’m going to do when I’m on the road is to make sure to have a TV show so I can disappear for three minutes to watch it; I’d watch it on my phone.”
Nigerian rapper, Falz breaks his silence regarding the defamation case he filed against social media personality VeryDarkMan (VDM).
The case stems from allegations VDM made, claiming that Falz and his father, renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN), helped popular crossdresser Bobrisky drop money laundering charges.
During a recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, Falz detailed his conversation with Verydarkman after the latter posted the viral video containing the defamatory claims. Falz explained that despite his attempts to calmly address the issue, VDM was defensive from the start.
“This guy was instantly defensive from the beginning; I’m like bro, try and listen. What are you instantly fighting about? And he said to me, without mincing words, ‘shebi you’re a lawyer; go to court,’”Falz recounted.
Falz also revealed that he had the option to pursue criminal charges for defamation but chose not to. “I’ll have you know that there’s a criminal angle to defamation, and I chose not to go that way. He could have very well been arrested. What you’ve posted is a load of bollocks, absolutely false, and I need you to take it down and offer an apology within a certain amount of time, and what did he do? Nothing.”
The rapper expressed his frustration, not only over the false claims but also over the disrespect directed at his father, Femi Falana, a lawyer known for advocating for the oppressed.
“I no dey find trouble Baba, I dey my dey. You set your ring light and begin dey talk all this nonsense about me, and you expect me to sit down? He trampled on everything my father stood for, sticking out his neck for the oppressed. So this level of disrespect? See our people say that any child who says his mother would not sleep, he himself would not sleep,” Falz said passionately.
“If you say you want to find trouble, trouble is my work. If you say that’s what you’re looking for, let’s go,” he added.
Popular singer, Portable reacts as Verydarkman considers submitting complaints to the Canadian embassy over his unruly behavior, months after he received his visa.
It was earlier reported that Verydarkman had informed Portable that he could wreck things for him, if he wanted to, by filing complaints to the Canadian embassy and citing various instances of his unruly behavior.
He noted that he could get the various videos showing how he had assaulted various people and submit these as evidence to show his streak of violence, which could cause some issues for him.
Portable took to his Instagram page to cry out over this.
He noted that he had already collected money for the show he was going to do in Canada.
Portable lamented that he was in pain and prayed that God doesn’t shame him.
His words read …
“ZAZUU
I DON COLLECT SHOWS MONEY FOR CANADA GOD HELP ME AM FEELINGS PAIN”
Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan left Nigeria on Thursday, October 24, after he was detained for eight months in Kuje Prison.
The Bola Tinubu-led administration had abruptly withdrawn charges against Gambaryan on health grounds and after diplomatic pressures.
Initial charges were brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
While dropping the charges in court on Wednesday, EFCC prosecutor stated, “The government has reviewed the case and, taken into consideration that the second defendant (Mr Gambaryan) is an employee of the first defendant (Binance Holdings Limited), whose status in the matter has more impact than the second defendant’s, and also taking into consideration some critical international and diplomatic reasons, the state seeks to discontinue the case against the second defendant”.
It was gathered that Tigran was allowed to leave Kuje prison last night.
In a statement to journalists on behalf of the Binance executive’s family, it was disclosed that Tigran, a US citizen, left Nigeria to return to his family.
Tigran’s wife Yuki Gambaryan stated: “It is a huge relief that this day has finally come. The past eight months have been a living nightmare. I wish it hadn’t taken this long for his release, or that his health had not declined so much, but we can now focus on healing as a family.
“I want to express my deepest gratitude to the US government for their efforts in securing his release. I also want to thank everyone who helped us throughout this ordeal. There were moments I feared this day would never come, but Tigran’s supporters gave me hope and strength.
“The road ahead for Tigran’s recovery is going to be difficult and I appreciate us being given the time and space to focus on that. Our children cannot wait to see their dad again.”
