The fan-favourite track from her sophomore album Starrgirl, released in August 2025, now has an official music video featuring Zayn Malik.

The video places both artists in a dark, sleek, futuristic space filled with metallic fixtures, tinted glass and illuminated floor panels.

Ayra moves through the space in a royal blue satin dress with a high slit and spaghetti straps, paired with matching knee-high boots and layered blue necklaces. Zayn keeps it simple in a dark blue bomber jacket over a black top, with close-up shots highlighting his tattoos as he delivers his verse.

The visual cuts between the two artists, giving each their own mood. Ayra’s scenes lean into movement and styling, while Zayn’s close-ups focus more on his vocals and the intimacy of his verse.

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.

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.

By Prosper Mene

Celebrity designer Veekee James and media personality Tomike Adeoye turned heads at Hilda Baci’s sister’s wedding in matching peach looks paired with bronze-gold gele — a combo they tagged Vintage Nigerian Glamour.

The duo rocked matching peach sequin-lace two-piece sets — a knee-length blouse with layered ruffle sleeves and a fitted skirt finished with scalloped hems. The soft peach was elevated with a bold contrast: structured, wide fan-shaped bronze-gold headties that framed their faces and added a rich, metallic pop.

While they twinned on the outfit, they each styled it differently.

Veekee James completed her look with metallic gold pointed pumps, a gold neckpiece and a traditional woven hand fan. Tomike Adeoye went for embellished slingback heels, a dark beaded necklace and a chic clutch. Both added dark sunglasses for that extra cool-girl finish.

Their glam stayed in the warm family too — copper eyeshadow, rosy cheeks and glossy ombre lips to tie it all together.

Veekee and Tomike just proved Peach and bronze-gold is a winning combination.

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.

Tobi Amusan Bags Silver And $75,000 At Inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship

by Women Times on September 12, 2026

By Prosper Mene

Nigeria is officially on the medal table at the first-ever World Athletics Ultimate Championship.

Tobi Amusan delivered Team Nigeria’s first podium finish in Budapest, claiming silver in the women’s 100m hurdles and a $75,000 prize cheque.

The 2022 world champion crossed the line in 12.34 seconds, finishing behind USA’s Olympic champion Masai Russell who won gold in 12.22 seconds. Dutch hurdler Nadine Visser took bronze in 12.39 seconds.

Amusan lined up in lane 3 and had work to do from the start. Russell and Devynne Charlton got out fast and set the early pace, while Amusan stayed within striking distance through the middle barriers.

The turning point came mid-race when Charlton hit a hurdle. Amusan stayed clean, held her form, and powered through the last three flights to lock down second place.

It was a composed run from the former world record holder, and proof that she’s finding her rhythm again after an injury-hit start to the season.

Tobi Amusan hugging Masai Russell after the women’s 100m hurdles final in Budapest.

Speaking to Making of Champs after the race, Amusan didn’t hold back on what she sees coming for the event.

“I think the women’s hurdles is just getting scarier every damn year. I do not know what is going to happen next year, but it’s going to be bloody. Just take whatever you see.”

Her words summed up the depth in the event right now. With Russell taking gold, Visser on the podium, and a returning Amusan in the mix, the women’s 100m hurdles is stacking up to be one of the most competitive races heading into next season.

For Nigeria, Amusan’s silver is more than just a medal. It’s a statement of comeback, and the first of what the country will hope is many at the new championship.

With $75,000 added to her earnings and momentum back on her side, the Nigerian hurdle queen looks set to be right in the fight when the next global showdown comes around.

Blessing Nze Breaks Down in Tears After Dropping Jayden Off For First Day of School

by Women Times on September 9, 2026

By Prosper Mene

Nollywood actress and producer Blessing Nze had her big “school-mum” moment today, and it hit her harder than she expected.

While her son Jayden walked into class like a boss on his first day, Blessing couldn’t hold back the tears the moment she left him.

The day started with good vibes. Blessing documented everything, packing Jayden’s lunchbox, getting him dressed, and heading out with her husband, award-winning actor Stan Nze. They called him “Jay Bobo” in the video as they walked him into his new classroom.

The proud parents made sure he was comfortable. They met his teacher, checked his seat, and watched him settle in.

But here’s the twist: Jayden was totally fine. No tears. No clinging. The little boy jumped right into greeting his teacher and classmates like he’d been there for months. He looked more excited to make new friends than worried about his parents leaving.

The moment Blessing and Stan got back into the car was when it hit her.

Sitting in the passenger seat, tissue in hand, Blessing broke down. The reality of leaving Jayden at school for the whole day finally set in and she admitted how hard it felt to be away from him.

Stan, tried to comfort her. He was smiling gently and cracking little jokes, trying not to laugh while calming his wife down. The contrast was relatable to many parents, while Jayden was busy adjusting to school, his mum was in the car having a full emotional moment.

Blessing shared the moment online and it quickly went viral.

Other celebrity mums flooded the comments with support:

– Toolz said she also wanted to take her son back home on his first day

– Osas Ighodaro welcomed Blessing to the “school mums club”

– Ini Dima-Okojie also reacted to the video

Fans couldn’t stop talking about how unbothered Jayden looked compared to his emotional mum. A lot of first-time school mums said they felt the exact same way — the excitement, the goodbye, and then the sudden quiet in the car hits different.

In the end, Jayden was more than ready for his school adventure. It was Mummy Blessing who needed a little more time to adjust to her new “school-mum era”.
