1. Wizkid makes directorial debut with “Kese (Dance)” music video
Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has officially made his directorial debut with the music video for his hit single “Kese (Dance).” Released as the second lead single from his sixth studio album “Morayo,” the song quickly became a chart-topping success, breaking the record for the highest opening day streams on Spotify Nigeria. The newly released video, produced by JM Films, is a visually striking production featuring ballerina-inspired dancers and trending choreography set in a dimly lit theater. The music video, which also stars multiple vixens, captures Wizkid embracing his superstar lifestyle while showcasing his artistic vision behind the camera for the first time.
Following the release of his directorial debut, Wizkid is preparing for a packed 2025 with his Morayo tour. He recently announced a string of European tour dates, including performances at the 12,000-capacity Velodrome Arena in Berlin on May 21, the Ahoy RTM Stage in Rotterdam on May 23, and the 20,000-capacity Accor Arena in Paris on May 25.

Atlanta rapper Offset has publicly called out billionaire Elon Musk for supporting Ben Shapiro’s campaign to pardon Derek Chauvin, the former police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd. Offset took to Instagram to express his outrage, calling Musk a “racist b**ch playin in black folks faces.” The 33-year-old rapper was so disgusted by Musk’s stance that he announced he would be boycotting Tesla, opting to drive a Ferrari instead.
Musk’s endorsement of Shapiro’s pro-Chauvin campaign came in the form of a reposted video with the caption, “Something to think about.” Given Musk’s influence as a businessman and his position as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, his alignment with Shapiro, a conservative political commentator, could potentially boost the movement’s support. Additionally, Musk’s close ties with former President Donald Trump further fuel concerns about his growing political influence. Offset’s bold response reflects broader frustration within the hip-hop community and beyond, as debates over racial justice and political power continue to unfold.
3. Mr. Eazy loses his mother
Nigerian singer and entrepreneur Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, popularly known as Mr. Eazi, is grieving the passing of his beloved mother, Ifeoma Edith Ajibade. The music star shared the heartbreaking news on his official Instagram page, posting a touching photo of himself kissing his mother on the cheek as she smiled warmly. In an emotional tribute, he expressed gratitude for her unwavering love, sacrifices, and the invaluable lessons she instilled in him. Describing her as his greatest protector, toughest critic, and truest fan, he emphasized the profound impact she had on his life and career.
Mr. Eazi also reflected on cherished memories with his mother, including her influence on his confidence, entrepreneurship, and deep sense of family. He recalled a particularly special moment when she taught him how to make chin-chin, a memory that highlights their close bond. “You were not perfect, but you were perfect to me. Your legacy lives on,” he wrote. Fans, fellow musicians, and well-wishers have since flooded his social media with condolences and messages of support during this difficult time.

Tyga appears to have found romance once again, this time with “Riverdale” actress Madelaine Petsch. According to reports, the 35-year-old rapper and the 30-year-old actress have been dating for about a month, having previously been friends before taking their relationship to the next level. The rumored couple was recently spotted attending several high-profile Oscars weekend parties together, including a cozy outing at Los Angeles’ famed Chateau Marmont, where they were seen arm in arm. However, neither Tyga nor Petsch have publicly commented on their relationship status.
Tyga, who has been linked to a string of high-profile women in the past, including Kylie Jenner and Avril Lavigne, was most recently rumored to be dating pop singer Sabrina Claudio—though that turned out to be for a music video. His relationship history has often made headlines, particularly his controversial romance with Jenner, which reportedly began when she was 16. Meanwhile, Petsch, best known for playing Cheryl Blossom on “Riverdale,” has kept her dating life relatively private since her split from Olympic fencer Miles Chamley-Watson.

FIFA is set to elevate the World Cup experience with a historic change, as President Gianni Infantino officially confirmed the introduction of a halftime show for the 2026 tournament final. Scheduled to take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19, 2026, this marks the first time in the competition’s history that the final will feature a dedicated mid-game entertainment segment. Coldplay’s Chris Martin has been tapped to curate the list of performers, bringing a new level of spectacle to the global event.
Unlike previous editions, which only included pre-match performances, this groundbreaking addition aims to rival the high-energy halftime shows of major American sports events like the Super Bowl. Infantino, sharing the announcement on Instagram, called it a “historic moment for the FIFA World Cup” and promised an entertainment experience that would match the tournament’s prestige. With FIFA looking to expand its appeal beyond football purists, the 2026 final is poised to be a fusion of world-class sports and top-tier musical performances.
