Chidinma debunks dating rumors, says she's still single
Chidinma has debunked the rumors of her dating someone in the industry. It is interesting to note that in times past, Ruggedman, Wizkid and Lynxx have confessed that they have a crush on the singer. However the singer says she is still very much single.
"There are rumors about artistes every day. In my own case, I don't understand it and I don't know why people don't want to stop. I am not dating anyone in the industry I am saying it officially now. No artiste, no producer, no music video director, no one. I am not engaged. I saw that recently and I just kept laughing. I am still very much single" she said in an interview.
Davido not planning on getting married soon, his HKN chain is worth N11.9 million...
Davido says he has no plans of getting married anytime soon, not even to his baby mama. The singer talked about his career and fatherhood in this interview. Read below...
Your second album has yet to be released three years after your debut, why is it taking that long?
An album is a collection of works, which has to be properly put together. I have learnt from my mistakes and I intend to do better with this album.
Are you under pressure to release a sophomore album?
Not at all. Although my fans have requested that I release a second album, I would not say I have been under pressure to do that.
Your album release date has been postponed about three times within a short period; why are you yet to make up your mind on the release date?
I postponed the release date because of my crowded to-do list. Some of my international collaborations needed more time in order to get a good job done. Also, I was busy with school and family as well; remember I have a daughter now.
Did you postpone the release date till September to coincide with the release date of Wizkid's third album?
I am not going to let anyone speed up or slow down my process. I know only about my album and no one else's. It is not being released to coincide with anyone's album release.
How much is your HKN-branded chain worth?
It is worth 60,000 USD.
You recently posted a comment about going around with diamond testers to fish out artistes who wear fake jewellery. Have you started it yet?
No, I have no plans of doing that. It was just a joke.
Your display of diamonds and jewellery on social media portrays you as someone who has embraced a showy and wasteful lifestyle…
It is not about me. The display is about what we do and the business we are into. It is called showbiz and it comes with the territory.
You have showered gifts on your daughter ever since her arrival, how do you feel being a daddy?
It feels great.
Now that you have a daughter, are you considering getting married sometime soon?
Not at all; I am not considering getting married now.
Do you intend to marry your baby mama; or is there someone else you wish to marry?
I am not planning on getting married now.
What other things are you passionate about apart from music?
I have a passion for fashion too.
How would you describe your style and fashion sense?
My style is simple and effortless.

Here are the kind of girls Banky W is into
EME boss Banky W has disclosed that he has no girl in his life right now and in his words "it's tough". The music star also disclosed the kind of girls he is into.
"Yes I am single and it's tough. It is a question of time. I'd like to think that I will eventually make a great boyfriend and husband. I try to be a romantic guy. I am very spontaneous. I like to enjoy my relationships. When the time is right, I will be able to do all of that.
"Physical beauty is important to a certain extent because you have to be attracted to someone to want to get to know more. I like girls that are independent and ambitious, that I can have a real conversation with. I like fun girls; girls who love music and can dance because I love to dance. If you can cook, it's a huge plus because I am a sucker for good food," he told Saturday beats.

Iyabo Ojo finds love again... but she's still not thinking about marriage
Iyabo Ojo has found love again but the actress is still not thinking about marriage. She hinted that she and her lover have not discussed marriage plans even though they have been dating for about five years because she is not "really into marriage." She attributed that feeling to the fact that she once had a failed marriage.
"I thank God that I have found love and I am very happy with him. He understands me because I am not an easy person to handle. I am always busy but my lover is very understanding. I always make sure I find time for him despite my busy schedule. I cook for him as well as my children. I don't see cooking for my lover as a big thing because of the way I was brought up. I love cooking.
"My lover is also an equally busy person but we always find time for each other. We have been together for about five years and as far as we are concerned, we are married even though we have not made it official yet. There is no much difference between our union and that of married couples. I would say the only difference is that we are not making it public and we have not made it official. If marriage later comes up, I am fine with it and if it does not happen, it is also fine by me. I love my life as it is and I am not someone thinking about having kids again and my lover also has kids. My children love him and we complement each other. We love each other; that I am very certain of. If the wedding bells come, fine and if it does not, it is also fine. I am happy and I have a man in my life that makes me happy. I am committed to him the same way he is committed to me. I am not really into marriage because of my last marriage. I have always said that what I want in my life is a man that understands me and makes me happy and I have that already," she told Punch newspaper.

Helen Paul actually made the first move on her husband
Comedienne Helen Paul and her husband have been married for 5 years but that's not the gist, the gist is the comedienne popularly known as Tatafo, was the one who made the first move. Gbam!
Speaking on how she met her husband to The Sun, she said; "I met him through my boss where I was formerly working. He was a friend to my boss. While he always saw me as too playful and jumpy, I saw him as too stingy", she said, laughing.
According to Tatafo, the reason she thought her husband was stingy was that whenever he came to the office, he never bothered to buy anything for her and her co-workers unlike her boss' other friends who were always generous.
"He would just wave his hand and say 'bye bye guys, take care of yourselves'," she says, mimicking a stern and unfriendly male voice, adding, "So we always saw him as a selfish lawyer."
However, one day, Tatafo and her colleagues were up to the hilt and so she summoned all the courage she could and decided to confront him.
"On that fateful day, I summoned courage and as he was leaving, I told him, 'sir, you don't buy us anything any time you come but we really like you. If you can be buying us doughnuts and soft drinks, we would be very grateful'. He started laughing, so I quickly added, 'sir, it's not only me o. My colleagues are also involved, so please don't tell our boss'."
Indeed, Tatafo's move paid off as her future husband laughed it off after which he reached into his pockets and gave them 'something' for lunch.
"We were so happy I asked for his phone number which he gave me. And then I gave his number to my friends and we all started calling to thank him. He realised that we really desired the doughnuts and soft drinks so whenever he came by, he would give us money for doughnuts and soft drinks. He never failed to deliver whenever he showed up and we never stopped thanking him. And then one day, he took a good look at me and said 'baby, I love you' and the rest is history."
