Award-winning singer, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk better known as Iyanya has become a subject of discussion after he revealed the highest amount he has spent on his songs.
The former Mavins signee revealed that he spent 52 million naira on his hit song “Like” featuring Kizz Daniel and Davido.
The “Kukere” singer made this known while commenting on an Instagram post made by media personality, Adesope Olajide on Monday, March 27th.
According to him, when he dropped ‘Like’, he spent 52million on the song, video and promotion. Iyanya also revealed that the cheapest he has spent on a song since January, 2021 is 27million.
He, however, stated that this shouldn’t discourage upcoming artistes as they can do it as consistency is the key.

Liberian actor Frank Artus, better known as the King of Africa, has written a solid warning to internet trolls mocking his wife for looking older than him. The 44-year-old Nollywood actor now running for House of Representative in his home country, Liberia, has been battling trolls laughing at his wife over her looks since he started his election campaign a few months ago.
Camping on his comments section on Instagram, some mocked the actor for marrying a woman way older than him when better-looking and younger women are dying to have him as their man. While some others said his wife wasn’t beautiful and posh enough to be a celebrity wife. Angered by this remark, the actor was forced to speak out and defend his wife. Frank Artus shared a throwback photo of himself and his wife and paired it with another recent photo.
In the caption, the father-of-3 slammed the trolls to keep his wife’s name out of their mouth, adding that he married a woman he is well pleased with, not age, and they have been happily married for 20 good years and counting. As expected, many Nollywood celebrities, including; Queen Nwokoye, Ngozi Ezeonu and several others, defended the actor, now a politician. However, Nollywood star Victoria Inyama agreed his wife looks older than him because she suffers in the marriage.

Reading Time: 2minutesNot too long ago, a group of aggrieved women in Rivers State took to the streets in black outfits to protest the unfavourable outcome of the February 25 presidential election. Chanting various songs, the angry women barricaded the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Port Harcourt while holding placards. Reality tv star, Tacha was also spotted among the women. The self-acclaimed Port Harcourt’s first daughter was around to hand over the protest letter to an INEC official stating that their demand was for the commission to do the right thing.
Less we forget, this is coming days after the BBNaija star accused Nyesom Wike, the incumbent Governor of Rivers state, of colluding with INEC to rig the election in favour of APC candidate Bola Tinubu. Taking a journey back in time, Bola Ahmed Tinubu defeated three other candidates in the presidential election held in Rivers state. The now president-elect polled 231,591 votes against his Labour Party rival, Peter Obi, who polled 175,071 votes in the State. Surprisingly, the people of Rivers state rejected the results, insisting there was no way Tinubu got that many votes in their State. Some indigenes took the liberty of sharing video evidence of thugs reportedly hired by Wike stealing ballot boxes and even disenfranchising others. In no time, the leaked Audio of Governor Wike on Tape allegedly arranging bribes for INEC Officials went viral. As if that wasn’t enough, Peter Obi and Ohaneze Ndigbo are entirely behind the people of Rivers state, as they insist Labour Party topped the presidential polls in the State.
Denying all evidence, Wike has shockingly said he didn’t rig the presidential election to favour APC and even declared Peter Obi, his hero. He claimed if Obi didn’t contest, power would have remained in the north. But no one seems to be buying Wike’s praises on Obi. Senator Shehu Sani has described Wike as a betrayer. He said in a tweet, “Wike and Peter: It’s like trying to be nice to continue a relationship with a lady you jilted after marrying another.” Did Governor Wike betray his friend, Peter Obi, during the presidential election?

Reading Time: 2minutesNollywood actress Ini Edo on March 15th 2023, did not only surprise her millions of fans with the first public pictures of her daughter, but the actress also revealed that her baby’s name is Light. In her caption, the actress expressed gratitude to God for blessing her with the “greatest gift” and her “biggest heart desire.” She gushed over her daughter, “the most precious, adorable little girl” who has brought comfort and joy to her life. Also, in an interview with BellaNaija, the actress opened up about motherhood. She revealed that being a mom has changed her life in ways she never imagined.
After several rumours, and just months before her 40th birthday, the famous actress, in December of 2021, during an interview with Journalist Stella Dimokokos, confirmed that she had welcomed a baby via surrogacy. She explained that she is genetically the biological mother of the baby because the eggs are hers. She further explained that she chose this path to fulfil her dream of becoming a mother. The Shanty Town actress said; “I still have a good number of eggs frozen in case I decide to do surrogacy again or carry my baby myself. Who knows.” When asked about the identity of her child’s father, the star actress revealed that she had opted for a donor for “peace of mind.” As you can imagine, this shocked many of her fans and Nigerians, leaving them with mixed reactions and opinions.
In the past decade, this method of having children has worked for many women and celebrities who are now proud mothers. Does Ini Edo feel complete and happier now that she has a child, regardless of failed relationships and marriage? Or Did she take this root to retain her banging body? Who are the women who inspired and motivated her to take this option? Press Play
