Nigerian artist Burna Boy’s streak of disappointments at award ceremonies continued at the 2024 NAACP Image Awards, where he failed to secure victory in six nominated categories.

Despite his self-proclaimed title of ‘African Giant,’ Burna Boy was unable to clinch the title of Outstanding Male Artist of the Year, losing to Usher. Additionally, his song ‘City Boys’ was bested in the Outstanding International Song category by his compatriot Tems’ track ‘Me & U.’

Furthermore, Burna Boy’s collaboration ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World’ featuring 21 Savage was outshined in the categories of Outstanding Hip-hop/Rap Song and Best Duo/Group Collaboration (Contemporary) by ‘Cobra’ by Megan Thee Stallion and ‘Sensational’ by Chris Brown featuring Davido and Lojay, respectively.

In addition to these losses, Burna Boy’s album ‘I Told Them…’ failed to secure victory in the Outstanding Album of the Year category, losing to ‘Jaguar II’ by Victoria Monét.

This adds to Burna Boy’s previous disappointments, including seven losses at the 2023 BET Hip-hop Awards, four at the 2024 Grammys, and one at the 2024 Brit Awards.

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.”
