<h2>African Bad Gyal Tiwa Savage has spilled an interesting detail about her love life, stating that she has never left a man for cheating on her and instead forgives him.</h2>

<p>The singer revealed this during her interview on the <i><strong>Receipts Podcast</strong></i> on Spotify, where she stressed that cheating is not a dealbreaker for her in relationships.</p>

<p><i>“I've been cheated on before. I found out and forgave every time," </i>Tiwa admitted. <i>"Every man I’ve ever been with has cheated, and I’ve never left them because of it. I’ve left for other reasons, but not because they cheated. Cheating is not my hill.”</i></p>

<p>However, Tiwa emphasised that while she can overlook infidelity, it’s the dishonesty and disrespect that accompany it that is harder to accept.</p>

<p><i>"What hurts is the lies about it though. Maybe other people had known and then I kind of felt stupid about it, or they've known for a long time or if it's close to home. The disrespect of it is why I could leave but the actual act of it? I've never left a man cause of it . I've left for so many other reasons like drug abuse or emotional abuse or being emotionally abused, being ghosted, stealing, and financial things. But that cheating thing, nah,"</i> she explained.</p>

<p>The singer further argued that the pattern of cheating in men has historical roots, and has always been a thing,</p>

<p>Tiwa said, <i>"I know you say it's bad that we've gotten to a point where cheating isn't a deal-breaker. But I feel like we've always been here even back in the day, even going back to the Bible and history."</i></p>

It's not a dealbreaker for her.

<h2>Nigerian music star Paul Okoye, also known as Rude Boy of the legendary P-square duo, has welcomed his first child with his new wife, Ivy Ifeoma, a baby girl named Imari Ugoma Okoye.</h2>

<p>Taking to Instagram on November 1, 2024, the singer posted an intimate and heartwarming video showing the moment he introduced baby Imari to his children from his first marriage. The big sisters and brothers were seen happily carrying their new-born sibling with care and showering her with kisses. The video also showed Ivy bathing the baby and taking her on a stroll with Paul's kids.</p>

<p>In his caption, he wrote, <em>"This past month and few days have been the most joyous and overwhelming sweetest ever period of our lives."</em></p>

<p>Ivy Ifeoma had been in the United States towards the end of her pregnancy until when she gave birth. In July 2024, Paul<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/rude-boy-surprises-pregnant-wife-with-range-rover-suv-as-push-gift/ry9h9bc"> gifted her a brand new Range Rover as a push present</a>, which she took pictures with and posted on social media with the caption,<em> "New baby from my baby.” The singer also posted her pictures to social media with the humerous caption, “My baby use this baby to push the other baby very well."</em></p>

<p>Recall that Okoye was previously married to ex-wife Anita for eight years before she filed for divorce, alleging a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/5-reasons-why-anita-okoye-filed-for-divorce-from-paul-okoye/tvlb25n">number</a>&nbsp;of problems. The divorce became a trendy subject of discussion for a long time after it became public in 2021.</p>

<p>The singer then introduced Ivy Ifeoma to the world as his girlfriend in 2022, during their first relationship anniversary, turning many heads. As a result of the backlash they received at the time,<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/ive-been-single-for-four-year-before-i-met-ifeoma-paul-okoye-reveals/bchwckt"> Okoye set the record straight</a> that the timelines between the two women did not clash at all.</p>

<p>He said, <em>"You know me, I always keep things to myself. I’ve kept it to myself that I’ve been single for four years, and I’ve been divorced for a long time. I don divorce sef before I found Ifeoma, so make una just calm down."</em></p>

<p>In May 2024, the pair then got hitched in a private ceremony, and they welcomed their baby girl five months later.</p>

<h2>In a recent Instagram post, the daughter of incarcerated R&amp;B singer R. Kelly, Joann Kelly, has spoken for the first time since making her ground-breaking revelation that he allegedly sexually abused her as a child.</h2>

<p>In her heartfelt post, Joann addresses her younger self, saying, <em>“Hey Baby girl… It’s me, you. We’re 26 now. I know you didn’t even think you’d make it past 15 but you did. I know you’re probably wondering how we made it here and what we’re doing now."</em></p>

<p>She acknowledged the ongoing struggles in the world but emphasised her growth and inner strength,<em> “You have built up a strength and a faith that is beyond what you can comprehend. You finally told everyone…I know I know. We swore we wouldn’t. But it wasn’t good for us anymore. Please don’t be angry with me but I had to."</em></p>

<p>Celebrating her achievements, Joann highlighted her journey into motherhood, the healing of her family, and her pursuits in music and art.</p>

<p><em>She wrote, “You’re a mother, a fucking amazing one at that, your son is so handsome and so funny and everything you’ve been daydreaming about and more, your mom is truly healing, your brother and sister are alive and well, you’ve reconnected with blood relatives, you went on to do music and art, and you were on TV."</em></p>

<p>Recall that R. Kelly <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/r-kelly-gets-extra-20-year-jail-term-for-child-porn-crimes/ffmlt69">was sentenced to 20 years</a> in&nbsp;prison for child sexual abuse and child pornography in February 2023, and on October 11, 2024, Joann revealed that she was also abused by him but was too scared to come forward. She also noted that when she finally got the strength to report him, the authorities said that they couldn’t prosecute him because she waited too long.</p>

<p>Now, she says she has been able to forgive him for abusing her.</p>

<h2>Amid the ongoing controversy regarding the Edo State gubernatorial elections, Nigerian singer Cynthia Morgan has called out her colleague Davido, over his stance on the elections.</h2>

<p>On September 22, 2024, she took to her Instagram story, saying, <em>"If you know me, you would know l am very apolitical but this Davido is more annoying than I thought."</em></p>

<p>She wrote,<em> "Since you’ve been screaming your mum was from edo State, I have never seen you visit her family house neither have you ever mentioned the village or family she is from it has only been a propaganda thing for you. Please leave edo people alone. You’re not from Edo state neither do you know the struggles of an average edo man or woman. Asue is the man. Nigerian govt is not a family business."</em></p>

<p>Her post comes after Davido called the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) out on X and expressed his concern over the elections. When many X users voiced their confusion regarding his interest in the elections, Davido then clarified that stemmed from his late mother's heritage.</p>

<h2>Nigerian singer Tems has addressed the bizarre rumours circulating on social media about her supposedly being pregnant by American rapper Future and is clearing the air.</h2>

<p>Tems appeared as a guest on the recent episode of <strong><em>The Breakfast Club, </em></strong>where she discussed <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/tems-shares-what-fans-should-expect-from-her-debut-album/9v71bv6">her music</a>, tour and Afrobeats in general. She was then asked the wildest thing she had ever heard about herself.</p>

<p>After some thought, she pinpointed the rampant speculations from earlier in the year that claimed that she was pregnant for Future, who already has eight baby mamas. </p>

<p>Tems responded,<em> "The wildest thing I've heard about myself is probably the pregnancy, I don't know where it came from; I have no clue. I was just minding my business being homeless but it was all so crazy and I think it's because of people recognising me."</em></p>

<p>The speculation, which Tems described as one of the most outlandish she has ever encountered, had caught her completely off guard. </p>

<p><em>"Oh yeah, I feel like people just take the most controversial thing you can think of. I was thinking, why am I pregnant? And for Future? Why Future? Why him? That's the craziest thing, why not WizKid? Why not Drake? Why not someone else? It would be the same thing but with Future, it's extreme," </em>Tems explained.</p>

<p>The host asked in between laughter,<em> "Did you have to clear up the rumours with family members? Did they call you up like, 'I heard this?'"</em></p>

<p><em>"My family members would just send me prayers, prayers like 'you won't be pregnant for any type of future in Jesus name.'"</em> Tems replied. </p>

<h2>Veteran singer Charly Boy has expressed his displeasure regarding the ongoing public spat between Paul and Peter Okoye of the P-Square pop group.</h2>

<p>The singer took to Instagram on August 13, 2024, to address the situation, expressing his frustration with the way the twin brothers are handling their issues. He encouraged them to lean on each other and be there for one another.</p>

<p><em>"Peter and Paul, pls, like dis no just good at all." </em>Charly Boy wrote, "<em>I publicly don’t get involved in people's wahala even if I have all the facts. You guys should be able at ur age to lean on one another, never to be seen as up in arms against one another. If you have a twin by your side, you are indeed fortunate, because twins, whether fraternal or identical, are lucky to have one another."</em></p>

<p>Charly Boy went on, urging the brothers to resolve <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/p-square-conflict-timeline-of-the-rift-between-paul-and-peter-okoye/vfrfn22">their conflicts </a>privately rather than airing their grievances publicly.</p>

<p><em>"Whatever the trouble may be, could you guys resolve it quietly without broadcasting it all over. It makes you guys look childish. You both are far too mature and professional to be engaging in petty fights of sibling rivalry," </em>he explained.</p>

<p>He added that, as twins, they should be mindful of their bond and reiterated the need for them to settle their beef maturely and privately.</p>

<p><em>"As twins you guys must watch yourself live two lives. One for him and one for yourself. Biko, stop coming to the public and exposing what I believe you guys can solve in the privacy of your homes. As a huge fan, you guys are not twinning, I no happy," </em>Charly Boy concluded.</p>

<p>His post comes after the group's <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/paul-of-p-square-confirms-he-has-parted-ways-with-brother-peter/9fcyf44">most recent split</a>, which Paul announced earlier in August 2024, and also alleged that Peter had him arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). However, on August 12, 2024, Peter addressed his brother and also debunked his claim <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/peter-psquare-calls-out-his-twin-rudeboy-in-open-letter/g6wlze6">via an open letter</a> posted to Instagram.</p>

<p>Ayra Starr reflected on her early performances in her career, emphasising how self-critical she has always been.</p>

<p><em>"Looking back at my first performance, I can laugh Vs where I am right now. It's always like I can become way better.

<h2>Popular pastor Emmanuel Iren has highlighted the disadvantages of having sex before getting married.</h2>

<p>Speaking on the recent episode of the Surviving Lagos podcast hosted by media personality <strong>Susan Pwajok, </strong><a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/pastor-emmanuel-iren-releases-new-album-apostolos/hg8hcy7" title="The more men a woman has been with, the less likely she is to be satisfied with one -Pastor Iren">Pastor Iren </a>stated that one of the flip sides of <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/lifestyle/relationships-weddings/how-to-determine-sexual-compatibility-without-having-sex/byc8lft" title="The more men a woman has been with, the less likely she is to be satisfied with one -Pastor Iren">sex</a> before marriage is the inability to spot red flags quickly.</p>

<p><em>"First and foremost you will not spot errors and red flags as readily as you should if sex is involved, because you're just gonna keep patching things up and all that,"</em> he said.</p>

<p>He added, <em>"And do you realise that it is also statistically proven that the more men a woman has been with the less likely she is to be satisfied with one man? I'm telling you!"</em></p>

<p>Shedding more light on the issue, he likened commitment to a piece of sticky tape which loses it's adhesion the more times it's used. Iren stressed that in that light, each time a person bonds with another, their commitment is affected.</p>

<p>He said, <em>"I don't know if this ever happen to you during art class as a child, when you didn't have enough tape so you had to take from someone else? Each time you remove the tape, the adhesive will have wear and tear until the attachment is no longer possible. These things are scientifically proven every time you are with a man, a chemical called oxytocin is released and so bonding is happening, each time and your ability to commit to one person is affected."</em></p>

<h2>Davido has confirmed that he has let his long-time lawyer Bobo Ajudua&nbsp;go, but not over an alleged $370,000&nbsp;embezzlement as speculated online.</h2>

<p>The <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/davido-headlines-madison-square-garden-in-sold-out-concert/h1sybdb" title="Davido refutes claims that he fired his long-time lawyer over embezzlement">Afrobeats star</a> debunked the reports in a new post on his Instagram story on Thursday, May 16, 2024, stressing that the narrative ought to be disregarded.</p>

<p>He said, <em>"That was not the case at all! We are still very good friends! In business, things evolve and change all the time! Please disregard this narrative!"</em></p>

<p>The singer's clarification led to a series of reactions from fans on Instagram.</p>

In their words, they’re just good friends now,"</em> and another expressed his approval saying, "<em>A wise man!

<h2><strong>In the latest episode of Pulse Hot Takes, the hosts delve into the never-ending beef between Davido and Burna Boy, answering the big question “Is Burna Boy a man-child?”</strong></h2>

<p><em>Pulse Hot Takes</em> is a weekly YouTube talk show hosted by<strong> Elvis Christian</strong> and <strong>Christabel Ago</strong>. Every week the hosts speak with guests on trending issues and dissect problems that Nigerians consistently face. In this episode, they were joined by media personality,<strong> Kimmy K </strong>and lifestyle reporter <strong>Davy Ben.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Recall in June 2023, Davido stated that he and Wizkid were undoubtedly the first artists to blow out of Nigeria and take the music to an international audience. While mentioning the “new cats on the scene”, he mentioned <strong>Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun, Asake </strong>and…Burna Boy.</p>

<p>Fast forward to 2024, hot on the heels of Nigeria’s loss at the 2024 Grammy Awards was the expected social media discourse, and with the discourse came shady posts on X. A Davido fan called Burna Boy a “pussy” on X, a move that precipitated more shady posts.</p>

<p><strong>See below what was said on this episode:</strong></p>

<h3><strong>On Burna Boy being&nbsp;a ‘manchild’</strong></h3>

<p>Kimmy K said,<em> “He calls himself an odogwu but essentially, at his core, he's a manchild. And we all know that the 'new cat' statement from David really hurt him. As a man, why can't you address him? What's with all the subs? That's what I don't understand with Burna Boy. He likes to throw subs and hide his hands.”</em></p>

<p>She added, <em>“Davido outrightly called him a new cat which was shade, but if Burna Boy has a problem with Davido, just address him. All the subs up and down makes him look childish and it's not a good look.”</em></p>

<h3><strong>On Burna Boy being the most talented artist of his generation</strong></h3>

<p>Davy Ben, who chose to separate the artist from his art said, “<em>Burna Boy is the most talented artist of his generation. He's a better performer and a better singer. Yes, Davido is the most influential and has the numbers, but people keep shitting on Burna Boy.”</em></p>

<h3><strong>Focus on the troll when you’re clapping back</strong></h3>

<p>Hosts Christabel and Elvis on the other hand, stressed that celebrities should focus on the trolls when clapping back at them, and not extend it to their favourite artistes.</p>

<p>If a fan comes for a celebrity, should they clap back at the fan? Or should they take it up with the artiste the fan supports?</p>

<h2>Nigerian singer Joeboy has declared that any girl who refuses to spend money on him is a red flag.</h2>

<p>In a new interview with BBNaija's Tacha on her Cool FM show, the singer emphasised that a red flag for him is a woman who does not reciprocate in terms of spending money.</p>

<p><em>"One of my red flags in a girl is if you can't spend money on me. I would balance it out, not like I want to chop all her money. But I feel like if I can do something for you, you should be able to do it for me. Not all those ones that say 'What can we give to a man that has everything?" </em>said Joeboy.</p>

<p>On the topic of relationships, Tacha filled with curiosity, asked him to clarify if he clearly asks women to be his girlfriend or if they just go with the flow.</p>

<p>Joeboy responded,<em> "I've only been in two serious relationships actually and the people I've dated, I officially asked them to be my girlfriend."</em></p>

<p>It is worthy of note that Joeboy has been in a committed relationship with a mystery woman for the past two years, and according to him, he has spared no expense in <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/this-is-what-joeboy-loves-the-most-about-his-girlfriend/m50yw60">spoiling her </a>the whole way.</p>

<p>In a previous interview with <strong>Cool FM</strong> in February 2024, he said,<em>&nbsp;"I love to spoil my woman. As for the money I have spent on her, let us say above ₦50 million, that was a rough estimate. I said at least ₦50 million. I don’t know for sure. It’s not like I’m counting. It could be more."</em></p>

<p><a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/joeboy-set-to-release-his-first-single-of-2024/ecdw229">The singer</a> was asked also about his favourite thing about his girlfriend, to which he responded, <em>"I love the fact that she understands my way of life, and understanding is very important."</em></p>

<h2>Nigerian singer Ruger has stressed that a lack of envy is the key to a long-lasting friendship or relationship in the music industry.</h2>

<p>Speaking on the recent episode of the <strong><em>Bahd And Boujee Podcast</em></strong>, Ruger explained to co-hosts <strong>Tolanibaj</strong> and <strong>Moet Abebe</strong> that jealousy is the enemy when it comes to friendships. Using himself as an example, he stressed that envy can only come in between a friendship if the parties involved are naturally envious.</p>

<p>He said,<em> "I feel like it all depends on the kind of people they are. For example, if I'm not the kind of person that is generally envious, then I can't be envious of my fellow artistes. I'd push him to do good for himself and everything because no matter what stage I am in my life or in my music, whether I'm not really popping at that time or I'm popping, I'm still going to push him. It depends on the kind of person you are as an individual. There's no manual to it."</em></p>

<p>The hosts then asked <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/bnxn-and-ruger-have-released-their-collaboration-romeo-must-die/s0c8tmp">the singer</a> about the dynamics of the music industry, particularly regarding cliques, to which he said, "<em>There may be cliques in the industry but I don't really know. I'm a clique by myself."</em></p>

<p>He continued, emphasising the need for support, <em>"When artists from here meet each other outside the country, there's unity, because when we're out there, nobody can touch us, no one can misbehave. Everyone is supporting support each other and that's the thing."</em></p>
