South African artist Tyla Laura Seethal, popularly known as Tyla, has provided insight into her admiration for Nigerian singer Asake and the inspiration behind her viral hit, ‘Water.’

In a recent interview with RollingStone, Tyla expressed her fondness for Asake’s use of “choir vocals.” She highlighted that her song ‘Water’ drew inspiration from Amapiano, a music genre from her native South Africa, her early influences in R&B during childhood, and the vibrant Afrobeats scene in Nigeria.

Tyla explained, “Amapiano music is the core of it [‘Water’], in my opinion. And just all of the influences from growing up like Rihanna and all the R&B girlies, R&B boys, pop girls. That type of influences I love bringing into my music.”

She further expressed her admiration for the step vocals in Afrobeats music, particularly enjoying the way Asake incorporates them. Tyla incorporated similar choir-like vocals into the chorus of her song ‘Water,’ resulting in its catchy and memorable nature, as she noted, “Obviously, people can’t stop singing, they can’t get it out of their minds, which I love.”

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.”
