At the 2023 BET Hip-Hop Awards held at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta on October 3, 2023, and broadcast on October 10, 2023, Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy had a disappointing evening. He ended up losing in all seven of his nominated categories.

Kendrick Lamar bested Burna Boy in the Hip Hop Artist of the Year, Lyricist of the Year, and Best Live Performer of the Year categories. Burna Boy also came up short in the Hustler of the Year category, losing to 50 Cent, and in the Best Collaboration of the Year category for his track ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World’ featuring 21 Savage, with Lil Durk and J. Cole’s ‘All My Life’ taking the prize.

Additionally, Burna Boy lost the Best Hip Hop Video category for ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World,’ which went to Lil Uzi Vert’s ‘Just Wanna Rock,’ and the Song of the Year category for the same song.

In contrast, Ghanaian talent Black Sherif secured a win in the Best International Flow category, surpassing nominees such as South Africa’s late AKA and K.O, France’s Gazo and Ninho, and the UK’s J Hus and Central Cee, among others.

Newly evicted Big Brother Naija ‘No Loose Guard’ housemate, Benjamin Olufemi, known as Ben has revealed why he relocated from the United Kingdom, UK to join the show.

DAILY POST reports that Ben was evicted from the season 9 edition of the show on Sunday.

Speaking in an interview with some journalists on Wednesday, the nightlife promoter stated that he aimed to utilize the platform to promote his business.

“First and foremost, I’m not doing a 9 to 5 job. Tjay reached out to me and said let us pair together. So if I was doing a 9 to 5 or under a student’s visa, I would not have come.

“But I’m a permanent resident in the UK, so nightlife is on the weekend. I came for Big Brother to push my nightlife 100%. To sell myself. I tell people that I organise parties, and people would come to my parties.

“People now even use the tagline number, Action Ben, no party. But the most difficult part for me was I had to pay all my bills before coming.”

Big Brother Naija contestant Wanni has issued an apology to her fellow housemate, Onyeka, following a heated argument between them.

The conflict arose after Onyeka accused Wanni of gossiping about her behind her back. In response, Wanni angrily called Onyeka a “childish b*tch” and insisted that she had only spoken about her in her presence.

Wanni’s twin sister, Handi, criticized her for escalating the situation and using offensive language. Taking her sister’s advice to heart, Wanni decided to apologize to Onyeka, specifically for the derogatory term she used.

Wanni explained that she struggles with her emotions, especially when hurt by those she considers friends. She admitted that her outburst was a result of her frustration and acknowledged that her response was inappropriate.

“I got very angry, which is why I used that word,” Wanni said. “Because I consider us friends, I get very emotional when I feel hurt by my friends. I shouldn’t have reacted that way. You had every right to be upset, and I should have addressed the issue more calmly. I’m sorry for using that term and for how I spoke to you. I’m working on controlling my emotions, and I promise to do better. I don’t gossip behind people’s backs; if I have something to say, I will say it to their face.”
