Soso Soberekon, according to Harrison Tare Okiri, aka Harrysong, is not his friend. He continued by claiming that Soberekon once dispatched assassins to kill him in Port Harcourt. During an interview with the host of the Frankly Speaking Podcast, the singer revealed this. The singer said this to justify his argument that people in the entertainment industry who claim to be his friends are actually his enemies. When Harrysong was signed to Five Star Music, a record label owned by Kcee and his brother, Emeka Okonkwo, Soso Soberekon was Kcee’s manager, but things fell apart between them when the singer left the label. Soso once sent his men to beat up Harrysong’s manager, Desmond Ike, for allowing the singer to leave the ...

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. The SEC charged the SKIMS founder in court after she promoted a cryptocurrency asset, EthereumMax,  on her social media platform, according to ABC. 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. Furthermore, for the next three years, the business tycoon has agreed ...

Renowned Nigerian film producer and director, Kunle Afolayan, has responded to the Oscar selection committee’s rejection of his recently released film, ‘Anikulapo’. Oscar declared the film which revolved around a stranger who had an illicit affair with one of the King’s young wives, which resulted in his death sentence, as ‘non-eligible’. Last month, the Nigerian Oscar Selection Committee announced that three Yoruba-language submissions had been received: Anklápó, Elesin Oba, The King’s Horseman, and King of Thieves.

Joke Silva, veteran Nollywood actress, has been officially appointed of the Tinubu/Shettima women’s campaign team’s creative and entertainment industry committee for the 2023 general election. Toyin Adegbola, Esther Wright, Rose Odika, Hadiza Kabara, Fathia Balogun, and Sola Kosoko are also a part of the committee. Rinsola Abiola, MKO Abiola’s daughter and a member of the campaign team’s media and administrative committee, announced on Saturday that the campaign team’s grand patron will be Aisha Buhari, the first lady. She stated that the wife of the party’s flag bearer, Oluremi Tinubu, and vice-presidential candidate, Nana Shettima, would serve as chairman and co-chairman, respectively.

Ed Sheeran, a British singer, has been charged in court with plagiarism of Marvin Gaye’s song. A federal judge ordered the singer to stand trial in response to allegations that he plagiarised Marvin Gaye’s 1973 hit song “Let’s Get It On” on his 2014 track “Thinking Out Loud.” In his court application, Ed Sheeran contended that the copyright claims were “baseless” and “far too frequent.” The plaintiffs, however, claim that Ed Sheeran and his writing partner, Amy Wadge, plagiarised and exploited the Marvin Gaye song without permission or credit, “including but not limited to the melody, rhythms, harmonies, drums, bass line, backing chorus, tempo, syncopation, and looping,” and they are seeking $100 million (£90 million) in damages. The trial date, on the other hand, is yet to be set. This is not the singer’s first legal battle. A lawsuit was recently filed against him and his songwriting partners, John McDaid and Steven McCutcheon, alleging that the chorus of their song “Shape of You” was lifted word for word from Ross O’Donoghue and Sami Chokri’s 2015 single, “Oh Why.” During the March 2022 trial, the High Court Judge ruled that the imitation was not done “purposefully or unconsciously.”  Ed and his co-defendants were awarded costs of £900,000 afterwards. Upon the court’s decision, Ed communicated his hope on his Instagram page that it would put an end to further frivolous claims.
