Rihanna stated that God had other plans for her beyond music.
At the recent launch of her Fenty Beauty brand in her native Barbados, global superstar and billionaire businesswoman Rihanna made a compelling statement about her journey. She acknowledged that while music initially garnered her fame, it was not the ultimate path intended for her. “Music was the thing that got the attention, but God had other plans for me,” she remarked, emphasizing the profound evolution of her career.
Rihanna attributed her success not just to her musical talent but also to the opportunity to create authentically and sincerely. She celebrated her ability to build a brand that resonates with her passions, remarking that her endeavors in beauty and fashion allowed her to express her creativity in ways that feel organic and genuine.
With Forbes recognizing Rihanna as a billionaire following her net worth surpassing one billion dollars, it is clear that her entrepreneurial pursuits, particularly through Fenty Beauty, have significantly contributed to her financial achievements. While her music career, including record sales and tours, remains a vital part of her legacy, it is her ventures beyond the stage that illustrate her multifaceted talents.
In a world where artists often feel pressured to conform to traditional paths, Rihanna’s journey serves as an inspiring reminder of the value of authenticity and the importance of following one’s true calling.
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.
Gabriel Oche Amanyi, known as Terry G, has asserted his significant contribution to the Nigerian music landscape. The “Akpoko Master,” pioneer of the “Street-hop” movement in the 2010s, stated that his influence is undeniable when discussing cultural impact within the Nigerian music industry.
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.
