Inspiring the Next Generation: Alex Iwobi’s Journey through Football and Music.
Alex Iwobi, the Nigeria international footballer, is increasingly making a name for himself not only on the pitch but also in the music industry. Recently, he released his second single, “What’s Luv?”, featuring his close friend SPKS along with rising artist MBrown. This follows the debut of his first single, “Don’t Shoot,” in June, showcasing Iwobi’s burgeoning musical talent alongside his athletic prowess.
At just 28 years old, Iwobi expresses a profound commitment to inspire young individuals through his dual passions. In a statement to BBC Sport, he reflected on his upbringing in a challenging area of London, emphasizing his gratitude for the platform he has to make a meaningful impact.
“I hope that my music is another way of proving that young people do not have to feel they have to fit in just one box,” Iwobi remarked. His aspiration extends beyond football and music; he aims to encourage youth to pursue their dreams and focus on positive endeavors.
Iwobi’s journey serves as a testament to the power of multifaceted talents and the importance of inspiring the next generation to transcend limitations and achieve their aspirations.
The Nigerian film industry is in mourning following the death of Kayode Peters, a renowned filmmaker and producer. The news was announced by his family on his official Instagram page, stating that he passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, after a long illness.
Peters, fondly known as KP, was celebrated for his contributions as a filmmaker, actor, and producer. He was known for his role as Koko in the popular sitcoms “Twilight Zone” and “Flatmates” in the early 2000s. His work also extended to stage plays and sitcoms like “Extended Family” and “Being Farouk,” significantly impacting Nigeria’s contemporary theatre and television landscape.
He is survived by his wife, Alexander, and their children. Funeral arrangements are underway, and further details will be shared by the family in due course. The industry and fans alike will deeply miss his warmth, generosity, and contributions to Nollywood.
Popular Nigerian skit maker, Carter Efe, has reportedly lost access to his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This development follows recent criticism leveled against Afrobeat artist Wizkid during a TikTok live stream.
Efe’s comments, in which he accused Wizkid of pride, triggered a backlash from Wizkid’s fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.

His comments, made via social media on Wednesday, arrive amidst ongoing discussions regarding impact and legacies, spurred by the recent exchange between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
In his statement on X, Terry G declared, “You can’t talk about cultural impact in Nigeria without talking about Terry G. I am the culture!” This pronouncement underscores his belief in his lasting effect on the evolution of Nigerian music.
