Humblesmith speaks on being in romantic relationship with Tiwa Savage

Nigerian music star, Humblesmith has come out to clear the air on his rumoured romantic relationship with Mavin queen, Tiwa Savage.

During the week, sensational pictures of Tiwa and the popular high-life singer, went viral on the internet, sparking suspicions that both artistes are romantically involved.

However, the ‘Osinachi’ singer has finally cleared the air on the matter.

Humblesmith, who spoke to Vanguard, said the pictures were mere promotion pictures taken on set of the video shoot for his latest single.

He said, “Those pictures which went viral online are mere pictures taken on the set of a recent video shoot for my new song, ‘Attracta’, featuring Tiwa Savage.

“I’m not in any form of romantic relationship with her. I think this rumour came up because she has not taken such sensational or romantic picture with any other artiste apart from Wizkid; so I think that’s why the pictures went viral.

“You know bloggers always look for sensational stories to drive traffic on their blogs; that’s the reason they were suspicious and went ahead to write stories that I may be dating Tiwa Savage, but there’s nothing of such.”

I'M NOT PREGNANT, JUST BLOATED - Blac Chyna

Blac Chyna doesn't have another bun in the oven, despite a photo that surfaced making some fans think otherwise.

Chyna attended her son, King's kindergarten graduation on Friday wearing a tight pink dress ... prompting people on social media to point out what they swore was a baby bump -- but sources close to Chyna tell us fans got it twisted.

We're told she's absolutely not pregnant, and you can blame the "bump" on the fact Chyna was just bloated.

Chyna has been spending a lot of time with her boyfriend, YBN Almighty Jay, so many naturally thought she might've gotten knocked up. After all, she does have two kids with her previous partners -- Tyga and Rob Kardashian.

Our source says, in this case, the third time is NOT a charm. Not yet, anyway.

Did Eminem Confirm He Is Dating Nicki Minaj?

Eminem might have confirmed that he and Nicki Minaj are dating after all, creating an ultimate hip-hop power couple — and one which few would have anticipated.

Eminem, the top-selling rapper of all time, addressed speculation of the relationship as he headlined the Governors Ball festival in New York — although his phrasing was odd enough to leave lingering doubts.

“I’m going to tell you something about Nicki that she doesn’t even know,” Eminem told the crowd.

“We go together!” he said to cheers. “That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for letting me get that off my chest.”

Minaj, one of the most influential women in hip-hop, suggested a relationship with Eminem late last month when she contributed a verse to the song “Big Bank” by rapper YG.

“Told ’em I met Slim Shady / Bag the Em / Once he go black he’ll be back again,” she said, using one of the alter ego character names of the white rapper.

Posting the verse on Instagram, Minaj was asked by a fan whether she was, in fact, dating Eminem and she replied, “Yes.”

But the unusually direct response stirred social media chatter that the relationship was little more than teasing between the two, and Eminem was coy on the subject when addressing an earlier concert.

Eminem, 45, has generated headlines for his turbulent personal life — and often violent lyricism about women — since he emerged in the 1990s. He twice married and divorced Kim Scott, his high school sweetheart from Michigan.

The Trinidad-born Minaj, 35, last year said she had ended a two-year relationship with fellow rapper Meek Mill.

The eight-year-old Governors Ball drew some 150,000 people over three days to the city’s tiny Randall’s Island. Other performers included garage-rocker Jack White, boisterous rap star Travis Scott and fast-rising pop singer Halsey.

Falz Speaks On Yahoo Boys, Nigeria Police, Others

Popular singer, Folarin Falana, popularly called Falz has called for the restructuring of the Nigeria Police over security issues in the country.

Falz stated this while addressing his highly debated ‘This is Nigeria’ video which touches on many issues including the Nigeria police ,corruption and online fraud, also known as ‘yahoo yahoo’.

In an interview with CNBC, the singer cum actor explained that he was inspired to tell the Nigerian story through his music over his disappointment in how ills are being celebrated and normalized in the country.

“I feel like we need to stay at a heightened level of social consciousness and political awareness out here because everyone is seemingly distracted by entertainment… that we sort of forget we’re facing a lot of struggles as a country.

“At the end of the day, money is very important. People need to make money, even I need to make money. But I feel like at every interval we need to stop and think. We need to pause and look around. Are we becoming too insensitive?”

“It’s very appalling and it’s very disturbing that the irregular has become regularised and more people now look at things that should be frowned upon as normal.

“Oh you know it’s just hustle, they’re just trying to make ends meet meanwhile that is blatantly a crime, that is blatantly wrong.

“I didn’t feel any need to take back what I said about Yahoo boys and I still stood by what I said. I readdressed the point in my ‘This is Nigeria’ video.”

Falz, further addressed insecurity issue in the country, adding that the police are not protecting lives and needs revamp.

“The serious insecurity issue that we have right now, nobody is secure.

“The police force that is supposed to be enforcing law and order aren’t really doing that if we’re going to be honest. In my opinion, the entire police force needs a complete revamp.

“People constantly in the north being killed, being kidnapped. It’s really disturbing. And that what I said earlier about insensitivity.

“We’re all carried away by everything that is going on. We’re forgetting that everyday little girls, little children are being kidnapped, being killed and it’s just not right,” Falz added.
