Kim Kardashian fined $1.26m for crypto promotion
Kimberly Noel Kardashian, better known as Kim Kardashian, has been fined $1.26 million for sharing a cryptocurrency advertisement on her Instagram page without disclosing how much she was paid for the promotion.

Kim is one of several celebrities named in a class-action lawsuit filed last January in a U.S. District Court in California on behalf of investors who claim they lost money after the celebrities promoted cryptocurrency. In their lawsuit, the disgruntled plaintiffs claimed that they invested in the cryptocurrency after seeing “numerous celebrity endorsements of EMAX.” Kardashian failed to disclose that she was paid $250,000 to write a blog post about EMAX tokens, a cryptocurrency asset security offered by EthereumMax, according to the SEC. While the case is still being heard, Kardashian has agreed to pay a $1.26 million settlement. Kim’s settlement includes the payment she received for promoting the cryptocurrency, as well as a $1 million fine, according to the commission’s announcement on Monday.

Kunle Afolayan responds to ‘Anikulapo’ rejection by Oscars
Renowned Nigerian film producer and director, Kunle Afolayan, has responded to the Oscar selection committee’s rejection of his recently released film, ‘Anikulapo’.

BBNaija S7: Chizzy, Racheal evicted from show
In an unexpected twist, Chizzy and Rachel were evicted from the seventh season of Big Brother Nigeria (BBNaija). The show’s host, Obi-Uchendu, announced their eviction during a surprise visit to the house, where he had dinner with the housemates. Their eviction followed immediately after the housemates had finished the day’s task. It also comes just two days before the show’s grand finale on Sunday. Ebuka had shown them the highlights of their time in the house prior to their eviction. On August 7, they were added to the house as “riders.” While unveiling them, Ebuka stated that they would serve as agents for Biggie, the show’s instructive voice. Ebuka went on to say that while the duo cannot be disqualified, they are ineligible to win the show’s grand prize. Many fans of the show were surprised by their eviction because they expected them to stay until Sunday, as Ebuka had previously announced. Following their eviction, Phyna, Bryann, Bella, Daniella, Chichi, and Adekunle will compete for this year’s N100 million grand prize. The grand prize this year is the largest since the show’s inception in 2006. So far, the reality show has seen numerous dramas and never-ending twists. -
