1. Nigeria: DJ Cuppy withdraws lawsuit against Israel DMW
Popular Nigerian disc jockey, Florence Otedola, also known as DJ Cuppy has withdrawn the lawsuit filed against Davido Worldwide Music member, Israel Afeare. Taking to her Twitter page on Friday, DJ Cuppy said that she no longer wants to proceed with the lawsuit following the public apology made by Israel. The disc jockey also seized the opportunity to caution social media users on making unverified statements.
Her post reads: “Update: Following the public apology of Isreal Afeare, I have decided to no longer proceed with the lawsuit and have instructed my lawyers accordingly. As social media users, I hope we can all learn from this and ensure that we have valid facts before we speak on matters.”
2. Saweetie splits from Migos rapper Quavo
Saweetie and Quavo have officially called it quit. The rappers, who have been romantically linked since 2018, have broken up, with Saweetie announcing on Twitter Friday, “I’m single.” The “Best Friend” rapper also called out the way Quavo allegedly treated her behind closed doors.
According to Saweetie, she “emotionally checked out a long time ago” and has “walked away with a deep sense of peace and freedom.” Later that day, Quavo seemed to address their split without directly naming Saweetie. Saweetie simply replied: “Take care.”
3. South Africa: AKA fuels “lobola” rumors
Rapper AKA left the rumor mill turning at high speed on Thursday when he asked his fans to help him determine a cattle’s monetary value. The rapper recently popped the question to his girlfriend Nelli Tembe, and it has already been reported that he is well on his way to paying lobola for the woman of his dreams. In South Africa, lobola is a bride price, and traditionally, one paid with cattle.
While both AKA and Nelli have not confirmed the lobola talks, AKA’s question about how much a cow goes for these days was all the confirmation people needed to add to swirling rumors.
