In other Nigerian singer Ayodeji Balogun has sparked mixed reactions online after spending time with fellow artist Ahmed Ololade, known as Asake. The two attended a concert in London for the YBNL signee, and several videos of them enjoying themselves have been shared online. One particular clip caught a lot of attention, as Wizkid was heard advising Asake not to be too humble.
In the lively atmosphere filled with noise and music on the prairie, the Afrobeats star tapped the Lungu Boy singer on the shoulder and yelled, “Ma humble, ma humble,” meaning “Don’t be humble, don’t be humble.”
Meanwhile, Rihanna was reportedly preparing to release her ninth studio album after an eight-year hiatus. The Diamonds hitmaker was said to be readying a new project, with The Sun reporting remarks from a “well-placed industry insider” who revealed that Rihanna had recorded and scrapped a full album’s worth of material.
The source noted that Rihanna wanted her new music to “sound fresh” and reflected where she was in life, which led to her discarding previous work. “She has gone from pop to reggae to hip hop and everything in between,” the insider said.
This would mark Rihanna’s first album since Anti in 2016. Since then, she started a family with A$AP Rocky, giving birth to their son, RZA, in May 2022, followed by the birth of their daughter, Riot Rose, in August 2023. Rihanna has also been busy building her empire, boosting her net worth to over $1.4 billion through her Fenty cosmetics and Savage X Fenty lingerie brands.
