By Prosper Mene

Bimbo Ademoye and Timini Egbuson got everyone talking after sharing romantic wedding photos online.

For a moment, fans thought a real wedding invitation was coming. But the photos are not from an actual wedding – they are part of the promotional campaign for Bimbo’s new romantic comedy, My 30th Wedding, now streaming on Bimbo Ademoye TV.

The campaign shows the two actors in both white wedding and traditional looks.

For the white wedding, Bimbo wears a beaded mermaid gown with a sheer illusion bodice and a dramatic ruffled train. She styles it with a low bun, pearl earrings and a bouquet of white calla lilies. Timini complements her in a black tuxedo with velvet lapels, a gold slide brooch instead of a tie, and dark Prada sunglasses.

For the traditional shoot, the pair switch to Edo and Igbo-inspired attire. Bimbo is in a strapless maroon velvet corset gown with sequin detailing, complete with an Okuku coral-beaded crown, coral bib necklace and wrist cuffs. Timini matches the palette in a gold satin tunic under a crimson velvet robe, coral beads, a coral cap and a carved white Akupe hand fan.

The photos are scenes from My 30th Wedding, which follows Aeta, an event planner approaching her 30th birthday, as she navigates a complicated relationship with her client, Leon Wellington, played by Timini.

The film, written and produced by Bimbo Ademoye, explores class differences, love, and the pressure society puts on women around marriage and age.

My 30th Wedding is now streaming on YouTube via Bimbo Ademoye TV.

Behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot of “Heaven Baby” – the standout track from Ayra Starr’s third studio album Starrgirl which dropped on August 14 – shows the two stars sharing laughs, dancing and vibing on set.

In the clips, Ayra steps out in a purple satin slit dress paired with thigh-high leather boots and a beaded choker, while Zayn keeps it cool in a black bomber jacket, dark trousers and a heavy gold chain.

But beyond the fashion, it’s their chemistry that has everyone talking.

The pair are seen sitting together clinking red cups, laughing over stacks of cash, dancing on a glowing lit-up floor and singing along to “Heaven Baby” between takes. In one lighthearted moment, Zayn is seen sticking his tongue out playfully as Ayra gestures beside him.

“Heaven Baby,” which blends smooth R&B and pop, is a song about falling for someone and enjoying the rush that comes with it. The track, which features the British singer and former One Direction star, has quickly become a fan favourite since Starrgirl arrived in August.

While the official music video is yet to drop, these behind-the-scenes moments are already building anticipation for what is set to be one of the biggest visuals from the album era.

by Women Times on September 28, 2026

By Prosper Mene

Nigerian singer-songwriter J’Dess is back with a new project rooted in culture.

The talented vocalist has released her seven-track EP titled “ALA” — a body of work inspired by Ala, the Igbo goddess of the earth, life and foundation.

According to J’Dess, ALA is more than just music. It’s a journey through identity, love, growth, motherhood and self-discovery.

She explains:

“ALA — earth. Life. Motherhood. The foundation from which everything grows. Inspired by Ala, the Igbo goddess of the earth and life, ALA is a seven-track journey through the things that ground us and the experiences that shape us. It is about love that nurtures, the lessons that come with growth, the strength of motherhood, and the gift of discovering your voice and allowing your talent to speak. Seven songs. Seven seeds. One story — rooted in where we come from, shaped by where we are, and reaching toward where we are going.”

Sonically, the EP blends traditional Igbo folk melodies with highlife and soul rhythms, driven by live percussion and rich storytelling that showcases J’Dess’ vocal range.

The project boasts an impressive lineup of features including highlife duo The Cavemen., Waje, Zoro, Selebobo, Chigurl and the Loud Urban Choir.

With ALA, J’Dess reaffirms her place as one of the leading female voices shaping modern Eastern Nigerian folk and soul music.

Grammy-winning Nigerian star Tems linked up with Kim Kardashian in London for the opening of the SKIMS flagship store on Regent Street.

The two stars posed together inside the wood-panelled store, both opting for dark-toned ensembles with contrasting styling.

Tems kept it sleek and minimal in a black strapless bodycon dress featuring subtle micro-beading along the neckline. The ankle-length dress was styled with a half-up curly ponytail, structured silver drop earrings, a stacked bracelet and a glossy dark plum lip, letting the clean silhouette take centre stage.

Kim went for a rich chocolate-brown look, wearing a fitted leather corset top detailed with micro-studs and front lacing, paired with a floor-length maxi skirt. She completed the look with loose centre-parted waves and warm bronzed makeup, softening the structure of the leather.

While both looks stayed within a dark palette, the approach was different — Tems leaning into sleek black and silver accents, Kim letting texture and brown tones do the talking. Together, they made for a standout fashion moment at the SKIMS London launch.

Tems proved once again that blue is her signature shade.

The Nigerian singer headlined Afro Plus Fest 2026 at the Northwest Stadium Complex in Landover, Maryland, over Labor Day weekend and delivered a performance that was just as bold as her outfit.

Stepping onto the main stage, Tems commanded attention in a custom electric blue halter-neck dress styled byDunsin Wright. The fitted bodice featured a cord-fringe bustline, while a low-slung waist belt with oversized silver grommets and studs added an edgy contrast. Lace-up ties at the sides gave the look even more attitude.

The dress flowed into a long, layered fringe skirt that moved with every step, dance move, and turn. Under the stage lights, the fringe caught and swayed, making the electric blue silhouette impossible to miss.

Tems kept the rest of her styling understated so the dress could take center stage. Her long, dark brown curls fell in soft waves past her shoulders. For beauty, she went with dark-lined lips and neutral eyeshadow done by Kayla Perez.

She finished the look with stacked silver and diamond bracelets on both wrists and delicate dangling earrings.

Yemi Alade and Don Jazzy Turn a Pre-Wedding Shoot Into a Hilarious Rivalry in “Ala Bekee”

by Women Times on September 4, 2026

By Prosper Mene

The Afro pop stars co-star with Destiny Etiko and Nosa Rex in a music video about love, laughter, and Maldives honeymoon dreams.

What started as a simple pre-wedding photoshoot quickly turned into a full-blown competition.

In the music video for “Ala Bekee”, Yemi Alade and Don Jazzy go head-to-head as rival photographers, bringing love, laughter, and plenty of drama to the screen.

The Song: Love, Marriage, and Maldives Plans

“Ala Bekee” — an Igbo phrase often associated with life abroad — is a romantic anthem about choosing your person, again and again.

Yemi Alade sings about everlasting love, while Don Jazzy adds prayers for prosperity, travel, and joy. The lyrics are playful and aspirational, dreaming of a honeymoon in the Maldives and even hinting at “a bouncing baby after nine months.”

It’s romantic, cheeky, and rooted in the excitement that surrounds Nigerian weddings.

The Video: A Photographer Battle

Nollywood stars Destiny Etiko and Nosa Rex play an engaged couple getting ready for their pre-wedding shoot. Both Yemi and Don Jazzy volunteer to handle it — but the couple raises the stakes: whoever takes the better photos gets the contract for the actual wedding.

From there, it’s chaos.

Yemi and Don Jazzy turn the shoot into a playful war, each trying to outshine the other with elaborate setups, glamorous bridal party looks, and a few not-so-subtle attempts to sabotage their rival.

What should have been straightforward becomes a contest full of behind-the-scenes drama, competitive energy, and plenty of laughs.

The video also embraces its Igbo wedding setting, with traditional attire and cultural details woven throughout. Destiny Etiko and Nosa Rex anchor the story as the couple at the center, while Yemi and Don Jazzy drive the comedy as two determined photographers who refuse to lose.

“Ala Bekee” arrives ahead of Yemi Alade’s seventh studio album, “It’s Yemi Alade”, set to drop on September 11, 2026.

With its mix of romance, humor, and wedding celebration, the video offers a fun first look at the new era the “Johnny” singer is stepping into.

Published: September 3, 2026

If you thought the red carpet at the “A Mama Deola Wedding Story” Lagos premiere would be subtle, Osas Ighodaro had other plans.

The actress arrived on Wednesday, September 2, looking every bit the bride, even though she wasn’t the one getting married.

For the night, Osas stepped out in a custom bridal couture gown by Veekee James, leaning fully into the wedding couture dress code. And true to form, the Osas-Veekee James duo delivered another unforgettable fashion moment.

The custom design came in a warm nude base layered with ivory lace. The look started with a sheer illusion corset bodice featuring structured boning and detailed with crystals and pearls. The embellishments continued down the fitted, long sleeves.

Floral lace appliqués trailed down the floor-length skirt, leading into a sweeping chapel-length lace train.

To complete the bridal moment, Osas wore a matching floor-length veil with floral lace edging.

Osas kept the focus on the gown with minimal accessories and elevated glam.

She wore her hair in a high, sleek half-up ponytail with loose waves and soft side-swept bangs framing her face. Her makeup was bronze-toned: defined cat-eye liner, sculpted cheeks, and a glossy nude-brown lip. Small crystal drop earrings added the final touch.

One thing is clear, Osas was a force to reckon with in the red carpet.

Published: September 3, 2026

If the dress code hadn’t been “wedding couture,” we would have sworn Lateef Adedimeji and Mo Bimpe were renewing their vows.

The Nollywood power couple turned heads at the Lagos premiere of “A Mama Deola Wedding Story” on Wednesday, September 2, arriving in looks so bridal-inspired they looked ready to walk the aisle all over again.

Mo Bimpe: The Modern Bride

Styled by Zack Styling, Mo Bimpe wore a custom off-white mini dress by Juliet Peters. The tweed design featured a V-neckline, subtle puff sleeves, and a structured bell-shaped skirt. The bridal moment was sealed with an oversized bow at the back waist.

She carried the theme through in the details: a small white floral bouquet tied with ribbon, pearl statement earrings, a tennis bracelet, and a bold ring. Her off-white pointed-toe slingbacks had sculptural heels and crystal-embellished bow straps.

For beauty, Mo opted for a high beehive updo with one soft tendril framing her face. Her makeup was soft glam with defined cat-eye liner, rosy cheeks, and a glossy brown lip.

Lateef Adedimeji: The Groom

Lateef took a classic approach to wedding couture. He wore a tailored off-white pinstripe double-breasted suit with wide-leg trousers, styled with a light blue dress shirt and navy patterned tie. Black leather dress shoes finished the base.

His accessories added polish: gold stud earrings, a gold bracelet, a signet ring, and a luxury leather-strap watch peeking from his cuff.

Together, the Adedimejis looked like they’d come straight from their own ceremony to the cinema.

About The Couple & The Film

This stylish outing comes weeks after Lateef and Mo hosted a thanksgiving party to celebrate the arrival of their triplets.

Lateef Adedimeji is an actor, filmmaker, and producer. Mo Bimpe is an actress, filmmaker, and entrepreneur. The couple got married in 2021 and continue to balance individual projects with collaborations in Nollywood.

“A Mama Deola Wedding Story” expands Folagade Banks’ beloved Mama Deola character into a feature-length comedy centered on Demilola and Femi’s wedding. Directed by Femi Adebayo, the film stars Omowunmi Dada, Rotimi Salami, Shaffy Bello, Bukky Wright, Erica Nlewedim, and Toyin Abraham.

Lateef and Mo proved that couple dressing can be thematic without being matchy-matchy. Elegant, intentional, and very on-theme.

Designer to Muse: Veekee James Wears Her Own Couture for Wedding-Themed Premiere

by Women Times on September 3, 2026

By Prosper Mene

Published: September 3, 2026

When the brief is wedding couture and you’re the designer everyone calls, there’s only one thing to do: dress yourself.

That’s exactly what Veekee James did at the Lagos premiere of “A Mama Deola Wedding Story” on Wednesday, September 2. The fashion designer and creative director arrived looking every bit the bride, in a bespoke white ballgown of her own creation.

The Gown: Couture Made Personal

Known for dressing Nigeria’s biggest stars, Veekee put that same energy into her own premiere look.

She wore a white ballgown featuring a structured basque-waist corset and a full, floor-sweeping skirt. The standout was the bodice: a sheer illusion yoke with cap sleeves, detailed with rows of crystals and beads arranged in a swirling, architectural pattern across the chest.

The skirt maintained its shape with soft pleating at the waist, while the textured white fabric gave the gown a refined finish.

The Bridal Details

Veekee completed the look with a long tulle veil attached at the crown and extending to the floor. She held it out behind her for photos, giving the ensemble a proper bridal finish.

Her jewelry matched the grandeur: long silver drop earrings with stacked rectangular-cut diamonds, a tennis bracelet, a circular statement ring, and a large diamond wedding ring set. She finished with a classic French manicure.

For hair, Veekee wore a half-up, half-down style with the crown shaped into a structured bow, while sleek straight lengths fell down her back. Her makeup featured a sharp winged cat-eye, bronzed cheeks, rosy blush, and a glossy nude-brown lip.

The Designer Becomes The Muse

Veekee James has built her name creating couture moments for actresses, musicians, and public figures. From red carpets to bridal, her label has become synonymous with custom, high-drama glam.

For “A Mama Deola Wedding Story,” she flipped the script and became her own muse. Given the theme, a Veekee James-designed ballgown, veil, and diamonds felt like the most fitting choice.

About The Film

“A Mama Deola Wedding Story” expands Folagade Banks’ Mama Deola character into a feature-length comedy about Demilola and Femi’s wedding. Directed by Femi Adebayo, it stars Omowunmi Dada, Rotimi Salami, Shaffy Bello, Bukky Wright, and Toyin Abraham.

The wait is almost over.

Award-winning filmmaker Funke Akindele has released the first images from her highly anticipated new feature, “The Four: No One Fights Alone”, ahead of its global cinema release on December 11, 2026.

Produced by Funke Akindele Network [FAAN TV] and distributed by FilmOne Entertainment, the film marks Akindele’s next big chapter — and if her track record is anything to go by, Nigerian cinemas are in for another record-breaker.

“The Four” is an emotionally charged drama centered on friendship, courage, and resilience.

The story follows Esosa and three fiercely loyal women who leave their community for the city to fight for the future of a young man they love. What starts as a mission of love becomes a journey that tests their faith, loyalty, and courage in ways they never expected.

Culture, Fashion, and Music at the Core

With “The Four,” Akindele blends storytelling with Nigerian heritage.

The film’s styling leans heavily on Adire, giving it a distinct visual identity rooted in culture. An original song is also woven into the narrative, extending the film’s reach into music and fashion.

From language and tradition to locations and costumes, these elements give “The Four” a cultural texture while opening new entry points into the story.

An All-Star Ensemble

The film boasts one of Nollywood’s most powerful casts to date:

Funke Akindele, Bisola Aiyeola, Chioma Akpotha, Richard Mofe-Damijo [RMD], Timini Egbuson, Lateef Adedimeji, Ali Nuhu, Uzor Arukwe, Ronke Oshodi Oke, Antar Laniyan, and Wunmi Toriola.

It also features award-winning singer Waje and Afrobeat star Shoday, alongside entertainers Samuel Banks, Kolapo Omotosho, and Ayomide Iwasokun.

Funke Akindele: Nollywood’s Box Office Force

Akindele continues to redefine what’s possible for African cinema. As director and producer of Omo Ghetto: The Saga, Battle on Buka Street, A Tribe Called Judah, Everybody Loves Jenifa, and Behind The Scenes, she holds the title of Nigeria’s highest-grossing filmmaker.

Her films have repeatedly rewritten box office history and expanded Nollywood’s global reach.

Through FAAN TV, Akindele’s 360-degree production house, her films have grossed over ₦5.2 billion, cementing her as both a creative and commercial powerhouse committed to telling authentic African stories at world-class quality.
