The debate on proximity, power, and workplace dynamics isn’t as black and white as it seems - it calls for nuance, not outrage or blind agreement. Franka Chiedu writes. Emma Grede’s comments have struck a nerve, particularly with women and especially women of colour, because they touch on a truth many people experience but rarely say out loud: Workplaces still reward visibility, proximity, and informal influence. Being physically present often means you are in the room when d

Megan Thee Stallion has taken to social media to publicly address her relationship with Klay Thompson, accusing the basketball star of cheating and emotional inconsistency. In a now-viral post, the rapper did not hold back, writing: “Cheating… had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet’. Holding you down through all your horrible mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season - now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous’?? I need a rea

Social media influencer Klaudia Zakrzewska has died after being struck by a car in central London. The 32-year-old, from Essex, was involved in a collision on Argyll Street in Soho in the early hours of Sunday morning. She was taken to hospital but later succumbed to her injuries. In a disturbing turn, former X Factor contestant Gabrielle Carrington, 29, has been charged in connection with the incident. The charges include attempted murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, d

In Lagos, where culture and commerce constantly collide, turning 50 is rarely just a birthday. For Cecil Hammond, it became something more deliberate a moment that reflected not only legacy, but direction. The founder of Rhythm Unplugged and Flytime Fest marked the occasion with a private gathering that felt less like a party and more like a statement. The room brought together some of the most influential figures across business, entertainment, and media Aliko Dangote, Femi

There’s something quietly powerful about products that do more with less-and BY TERRY understands this intimately. The new Tea To Tan Lip & Cheek is a water-light tint designed to deliver that just-pinched, just-back-from-sun flush-effortless, buildable, and deeply wearable. Arriving in a single universal shade, ‘Sweet Cherry’, the formula adapts rather than dictates. One swipe gives a sheer veil of colour; layering builds intensity without heaviness.But this isn’t just about

For a moment, it was everywhere. Timelines flooded. Opinions sharpened. Old tweets resurfaced and refused to be ignored. The internet did what it always does - it paused everything else to focus on one person, one narrative, one question: how did we get here? At the centre was Simi, whose decade-old tweets triggered widespread discomfort and criticism. The language, particularly where it referenced minors, struck a nerve that social media does not treat lightly - and rightly

BY TERRY’s latest drop leans fully into the art of effortless radiance-sun-kissed skin without the sun. At the heart of the launch is Tea To Tan Golden Glow, a water-light bronzing serum that sits somewhere between skincare and makeup.

Platinum-selling artist D4vd has been arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department on suspicion of murder in connection with the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The arrest, which took place on Thursday, follows a months-long investigation that began after authorities discovered a dismembered and severely decomposed body in the trunk of a Tesla registered to the singer. The vehicle had been impounded at the time of the discovery, according to reports. Law enforc

She built a fragrance empire with her name… then sold it, and with it, the rights to be herself in the very industry she defined. Now, years later, as Jo Malone reclaims her space through new ventures, Estée Lauder Companies is pushing back sparking what could become one of beauty’s most defining legal battles. Because this isn’t just about trademarks. It’s about identity, ownership, and the cost of legacy.

Ashlee Jenae, a popular influencer, travelled to Tanzania to her birthday. From what was shared publicly - curated posts, luxury setting, wildlife experience, a proposal - it looked like a milestone moment. The kind people frame as “soft life meets fairytale.” Then, suddenly: She was found unresponsive in her hotel room. Her fiancé has reportedly stated that her death was a suicide. And the questions on people's minds are: What the hell happened? Her social media posts sho

Lagos Fashion Week opens Woven Threads VII: Crafted-but this isn’t about spectacle. It’s about slowing down. In a fashion landscape driven by speed, virality, and constant output, Crafted shifts the conversation back to process-the hands, the materials, the thinking behind the final piece. Here, textiles are not just fabrics; they are archives. Techniques are not just skills; they are inheritances. Across exhibitions and conversations, designers and practitioners are interrog

When self-proclaimed relationship expert Blessing CEO announced a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis, the reaction was swift, emotional, and, for many, deeply sympathetic. But as inconsistencies began to surface, sympathy gave way to suspicion. And suspicion, in true Nigerian internet fashion, quickly turned into spectacle. But beyond the individual controversy lies a more unsettling question: What kind of society makes room for this-and sustains it? In the chaotic theatre of social me

Long before the medals, the world records, and the global spotlight, their paths had already begun to circle each other. As young athletes navigating the same competitive spaces, their worlds brushed shoulders, but never quite collided. That changed in 2018 with something far less dramatic than a finish-line sprint: a direct message. It wasn’t grand. It wasn’t rehearsed. Just a simple question that felt almost disarmingly ordinary: “Do you cook?” But sometimes, the smallest o
