Published: January 25, 2026 at 10:52:02 PM Modified: January 25, 2026 at 10:52:02 PM Written By | Witty Pascal Entertainment Editor Witty Pascal American rapper A$AP Rocky has addressed long-standing speculation about a feud with fellow artist Drake, stating that the alleged conflict has been exaggerated and does not reflect any real hostility. Speaking during an interview with Apple Music host Ebro Darden , Rocky described the rumours as petty and dismissed suggestions of serious tension between the two musicians. He said the situation should not be interpreted as an actual dispute. Rocky compared many hip-hop rivalries to professional wrestling, suggesting that publicised feuds are often exaggerated for attention. He emphasised that any perceived conflict between him and Drake does not involve genuine animosity. The rapper also acknowledged that he no longer maintains a personal relationship with Drake, noting that while they collaborated in the past, their connection faded over time. Both artists were previously romantically linked to Rihanna, who is now Rocky’s partner. The couple share three children. Addressing speculation that his upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb and the song Stole Ya Flow were directed at Drake, Rocky clarified that the music was not aimed at any specific individual. Rocky stated that his lyrics are open to interpretation and not intended as a direct response to past rumours or personal relationships.

Published: March 12, 2024 at 6:34:54 AM Modified: March 12, 2024 at 3:18:20 PM Leaked Messages Between Nigerian Entertainer Lord Lamba and BBNaija's Queen Mercy Atang. Image/@lordlamba A leaked exchange of messages between prominent Nigerian content creator Lord Lamba, real name Promise Kelvin Anagbogu, and Big Brother Naija star Queen Mercy Atang, who is also the mother of his child, has sparked a significant online debate. The conversation, which surfaced on various social media platforms, sheds light on their co-parenting challenges and financial responsibilities towards their daughter, Keila. Lord Lamba said; “ Hi Queen I have been trying to reach out to you, I sent you some funds for upkeep you didn’t reply, I wanted to see my child you didn’t reply either, got information about your engagement, congratulations anyways but now is when I need close attention to my child, so your husband to be is not seen as the father, you have to understand am doing all these for the sake of my daughter it is my right, we will have to result in consulting the law for a proper co-parenting of our child. Congratulations once again.” The discussion initiated with Lord Lamba congratulating Queen on her recent engagement and highlighting his intentions to establish a co-parenting arrangement to ensure his presence in their daughter's life. Lord Lamba expressed concerns over his limited access to Keila and his readiness to pursue legal avenues to affirm his parental rights, emphasizing the importance of his role in his daughter's upbringing. Contrary to Lord Lamba's claims of financial support and involvement, the Queen's response unveiled a different reality. She pointed out that Lord Lamba had contributed a nominal sum of N150,000 for Keila's upkeep since the beginning of the year and had shown minimal interest in their daughter's welfare. Queen's rebuttal painted a picture of Lord Lamba's sporadic involvement and her efforts to encourage a stronger bond between father and daughter. Queen wrote: “ Since after Keilah’s birthday to almost the end of January, you have sent your daughter only 150k for upkeep, you’ve not bothered about the wellbeing of your daughter Keilah. Neither have you asked about her or bothered to check up on her… ……you’re never tired of lies. I’m still surprised you suddenly want to be close to your child, after so much begging from months back.” The public disclosure of this private conversation has led to widespread criticism of Lord Lamba, with many internet users questioning his commitment to his paternal duties, especially in light of his recent expressions of concern following the Queen's engagement news. This incident highlights the complexities of co-parenting in the public eye and the scrutiny faced by public figures in their personal lives. Tags ADVERTISEMENT Keep Reading

A Transnet locomotive arrives as people wave South African flags during a ceremony, marking a significant moment for the logistics company. Published: July 18, 2024 at 1:57:30 PM Modified: July 18, 2024 at 2:01:20 PM The African Development Bank (AfDB) has approved a $1 billion loan for South Africa's Transnet to support the struggling logistics firm's recovery plan, the bank and company announced on Thursday. State-owned Transnet has faced challenges in providing adequate freight rail and port services due to equipment shortages and maintenance backlogs from years of under-investment. This has affected commodity exports and sectors such as manufacturing and retail, weakening Africa's most advanced economy. The 25-year loan, fully guaranteed by the South African government , will fund the first phase of Transnet's ZAR 152.8 billion ($8.1 billion) five-year capital investment plan. This plan aims to enhance the company's existing capacity before expanding key segments of the transport value chain. Transnet, with debts of 130 billion rand, reported a loss of 1.6 billion rand for the six months ending September 30, driven by declining rail, port, and pipeline volumes and higher costs. Freight volumes have dropped to 150 million metric tons in the 2022/23 financial year from 226 million tons in 2017/18. Transnet's recovery plan, announced in October 2023, aims to restore freight volumes and return the company to profitability within 18 months. The turnaround strategy includes splitting the freight rail subsidiary into an infrastructure management company and an operating unit, reducing port backlogs, and reopening parts of its rail network to private operators after a failed attempt two years ago.

Published: June 14, 2024 at 9:12:54 AM Modified: June 14, 2024 at 4:40:04 PM A senior Kenyan police officer was fatally shot after opening fire on Principal Magistrate Monica Kivuti in a Nairobi court. The incident occurred shortly after Magistrate Kivuti ruled to cancel the bail of the officer's wife, who had absconded. Chief Inspector Samson Kipchirchir Kipruto, in charge of a police station in Londiani, western Kenya, was angered by the decision and shot Magistrate Kivuti, injuring her in the hip. Immediate response from other officers in the courtroom resulted in Kipruto being shot dead. In the chaos, three other officers sustained injuries and are receiving treatment along with Magistrate Kivuti. The judiciary explained that the magistrate had revoked the bond of an accused person who had failed to appear in court and provide satisfactory explanations. Kipruto, the husband of the accused, was present in court for undisclosed reasons and reacted violently to the ruling. The shooting has shocked Kenyans, as it is unprecedented for such an incident to occur within a courtroom, despite past accusations of police involvement in extrajudicial killings. The judiciary has pledged to enhance security measures to ensure the safety of judicial staff and court users. Chief Registrar of the Judiciary, Winfridah Mokaya, expressed wishes for Magistrate Kivuti's swift recovery and extended condolences to the family of the deceased officer. The national police service has launched an investigation to uncover the circumstances leading to the shooting. Tags ADVERTISEMENT Keep Reading

Banyamulenge leader Enock Sebineza exposes Rwanda and M23 for using his community as a cover for occupation, chaos, and ethnic manipulation in Congo. D.R.Congo Enock Sebineza, the President of the Banyamulenge community, "Rwanda Is Not Protecting Us, It Is Exploiting Us.” Enock Sebineza Banyamulenge leader Enock Sebineza exposes Rwanda and M23 for using his community as a cover for occupation, chaos, and ethnic manipulation in Congo. Published: January 22, 2026 at 7:44:13 PM Modified: January 22, 2026 at 7:44:13 PM Written By | Serge Kitoko Tshibanda Political Analyst Serge Kitoko Tshibanda Enock Sebineza, the President of the Banyamulenge community, has delivered one of the strongest public denunciations on interview @rtncofficielle1 yet of Rwanda and the M23, accusing them of using his community as a cover for occupation, looting, and long-term destabilisation in eastern DR Congo. His message is clear: the Banyamulenge are Congolese, and they refuse to be used as a political weapon. THEY WANTED TO CREATE CHAOS IN UVIRA Sebineza says the withdrawal of M23 from Uvira should not be mistaken for goodwill. According to him, the group entered the city with one objective: create disorder, spark violence, and produce a crisis that could be blamed on Congolese communities. He admits that looting and tensions followed, but insists their bigger plan failed. "THEY DID NOT ACHIEVE THEIR OBJECTIVES," HE SAID “We Have Been Denouncing Rwanda’s Plan for 30 Years” In a direct rejection of Kigali’s propaganda, Sebineza says Rwanda’s presence in Congo has never been about protecting Banyamulenge civilians. He reminded the public that Banyamulenge leaders have warned about Rwanda’s manipulation for three decades, including since the 1996 wars. “Rwanda comes for its own interests, to plunder Congo’s resources,” he said. “And to push us, the Banyamulenge, out of Congo.” THE DEPORTATION PLAN IS REAL Sebineza confirmed that what happened in Uvira follows a long-standing pattern: intimidation, forced movement, and staged “protection” narratives. He accused M23 of leaving Uvira while taking part of the Banyamulenge population with them, not as a rescue, but as forced displacement. Some reportedly refused to leave. Others were pressured or compelled. “They want to deport us and take us to Rwanda,” he warned. “But we continue to resist.” RWANDA PLAYS BOTH ARSONIST AND FIREFIGHTER Sebineza used one of the most powerful descriptions in the interview: Rwanda creates conflict, and then presents itself as the solution. He says local disputes in eastern Congo do exist, but Rwanda exploits them deliberately. “They pour petrol on the fire,” he said, “then pretend to come as firefighters.” This is why he urges all Congolese communities not to fall into ethnic traps. “We must not give in to Rwanda’s pressure,” he said. “So we don’t end up killing each other.” THIS WITHDRAWAL IS NOT PEACE, IT IS DIPLOMATIC THEATER Sebineza strongly rejected claims that M23’s pullback from Uvira represents appeasement. He insists Rwanda cannot act in good faith and that its forces remain dangerously close, repositioned for future operations. He stated that instead of returning to where they came from (Kamanyola/Katogota axis), they have restructured their presence and continued occupying strategic highlands. “They are not far. They are still there,” he said. WE ARE THE TRIPLE VICTIMS Sebineza described the Banyamulenge as trapped inside a brutal triangle: Rwanda uses them as an excuse; M23 acts in their name, and civilians suffer the backlash. “Rwanda exploits us,” he said. “We are Congolese, and like all other Congolese, we are victims too.” "The Congolese government has a plan. We support peaceful coexistence." He confirmed he has engaged Congolese authorities in Kinshasa and welcomed the government’s security plan to stabilise Uvira. He acknowledged the looting and chaos that followed the withdrawal, but thanked God that the city did not descend into mass killings. “They prepared chaos that could lead to murder,” he said. “But thank God, there were no deaths.” Tags DR.Congo DR.Congo ADVERTISEMENT Keep Reading DRC Peace Effort FARDC Signals Sustained Offensive After Fizi Battles in South Kivu Army says 34 M23 fighters were killed in Fizi and 12 allied elements captured .

Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed and Yoweri Museveni hold talks at Qasr Al Shati in Abu Dhab on Monday. Published: June 21, 2024 at 2:29:36 PM Modified: July 9, 2024 at 8:29:09 PM Uganda has inked a significant deal with a business association from the United Arab Emirates to construct a new international airport, marking the East African nation’s third such facility. This development was announced by President Yoweri Museveni's office on Friday. The agreement, which sees the UAE's economic presence in Uganda expanding beyond its interests in renewable energy and oil and gas industries, will have the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry spearheading the airport's construction. The new airport will be strategically located just outside Kidepo National Park in the northeast, near Uganda's border with Kenya. While the statement from Museveni's office did not disclose the project's cost, it did confirm that construction is set to commence in August. Abdallah Sultan Al Owais, chairman of the Sharjah business body, provided this timeline. The upcoming airport aims to boost tourism by attracting more visitors to the 1,442-square-kilometer Kidepo National Park, renowned for its diverse wildlife, including lions, giraffes, and buffaloes. President Museveni highlighted the deal as an indicator of strengthening relations with Gulf partners and a new avenue for cooperation in investment and trade. He shared his optimism and support for the project in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. The new airport is expected to enhance Uganda’s tourism sector and foster greater economic collaboration between Uganda and the UAE. Tags ADVERTISEMENT Keep Reading

A police officer in riot gear stands guard on a deserted, smoke-filled street in central Nairobi, with protesters raising their hands in the background during Thursday's anti-tax hike demonstration. Published: July 18, 2024 at 1:47:44 PM Modified: July 18, 2024 at 1:52:29 PM Kenya's government escalated its efforts to halt ongoing protests by banning demonstrations in central Nairobi on Thursday, attributing the move to the infiltration of criminal gangs. The ban followed weeks of youth-led protests against proposed tax hikes that have claimed at least 50 lives. Despite President William Ruto withdrawing the legislation and dismissing nearly all of his cabinet, the protests have persisted. Activists had called for people to gather at Uhuru Park, adjacent to the city center, with camping gear to "occupy" the area. However, a heavy police presence was seen across Nairobi, reflecting the government's determination to prevent further unrest. The protests, which have been primarily organized online without visible support from opposition political figures, have become the most significant challenge to Ruto's two-year tenure. Government spokesperson Isaac Mwaura claimed the country has lost approximately 6 billion Kenyan shillings ($46 million) due to the demonstrations, although he did not provide details on how this figure was calculated. In a televised statement, Mwaura conveyed the government's willingness to address the protesters' concerns, stating, "The president and the government at large have heard you loud and clear and we are ready to act on your concerns." Chief of police Douglas Kanja Kiricho announced the protest ban late Wednesday, citing credible intelligence that organized criminal groups planned to exploit the ongoing unrest for looting and other criminal activities. He emphasized that no demonstrations would be allowed in the Nairobi Central Business District and its surroundings until further notice to ensure public safety. The activists behind the protests are demanding President Ruto's resignation and calling for reforms to tackle corruption and improve governance. As the situation continues to evolve, the government's response and the protesters' resilience will likely shape the political landscape in Kenya in the coming months.

DRC rejects claims that M23 fighters have withdrawn from Uvira, calling them disinformation and warning of infiltration, looting, and false narratives. D.R.Congo, M23/RDF DRC Government Spokesperson Patrick Muyaya Why Kinshasa Rejects Claims of an M23 “Withdrawal” from Uvira DRC rejects claims that M23 fighters have withdrawn from Uvira, calling them disinformation and warning of infiltration, looting, and false narratives. Published: January 18, 2026 at 5:28:00 AM Modified: January 18, 2026 at 5:28:00 AM Written By | Serge Kitoko Tshibanda Political Analyst Serge Kitoko Tshibanda The Congolese government has dismissed reports claiming that M23 fighters are withdrawing from Uvira, calling the announcements misleading, tactical, and disconnected from realities on the ground. Speaking on the situation, Government Spokesperson Patrick Muyaya was categorical: M23 and its backers should never have been in Uvira in the first place. For Kinshasa, any talk of withdrawal loses meaning when it refers to a presence that was illegal from the outset. Muyaya warned that the government is fully familiar with what he described as well-rehearsed disinformation tactics. According to him, staged withdrawals, selective images, or media-oriented announcements are often used to simulate compliance while maintaining control through infiltrated elements left behind in occupied areas. In his words, “What is a withdrawal without a real departure worth?” The minister directly addressed the narrative repeatedly used to justify the attack on Uvira — the alleged “protection of the Banyamulenge community.” He rejected this argument as a false pretext, noting that it has been echoed consistently by Rwanda and M23 in international forums. Muyaya warned that this same narrative could now be recycled by leaving behind agents tasked with targeting Banyamulenge civilians in order to fabricate fresh incidents and shift blame. For Kinshasa, a withdrawal will only be considered real when state authority is fully restored, including the return of civil administration, security services, and the protection of all communities without distinction. The government insists that its responsibility is not selective — the Congolese state is committed to ensuring the safety of every citizen, including the Banyamulenge population. Muyaya also revealed that behind the public claims of withdrawal lies another reality: systematic looting. According to Congolese authorities, armed groups have not only exploited mines, but have also stolen public infrastructure materials, household goods, livestock, vehicles, and even road construction tar. He described a pattern seen in Goma, Bukavu, and Uvira, where armed groups leave behind destruction while transporting stolen resources across borders. Despite these tactics, the government says it remains vigilant on all fronts — military, diplomatic, and judicial. Muyaya stressed that while peace processes continue, justice cannot be avoided indefinitely. For Kinshasa, accountability will eventually be required for what it describes as occupation, plunder, and violence against civilians. In conclusion, the government’s message is firm: media announcements do not replace facts on the ground. Any genuine de-escalation must be measured not by statements, but by verifiable withdrawal, restored state authority, and lasting security for civilians.
