“I Won’t Go Broke Even If I Stop Doing Music” – Spyro Brags About Diversified Wealth

 Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Oludipe Oluwemimo David, popularly known as Spyro, has boldly declared his financial independence, asserting that he would remain wealthy even if he walked away from music tomorrow.

In a candid interview, the “Who’s Your Guy” hitmaker revealed that music is only a fraction of his income streams. “I have multiple businesses and investments that generate serious revenue,” Spyro stated. “Music is passion, but my portfolio is the real engine. I won’t go broke—never.”

The singer, whose real estate ventures and tech investments have been whispered about in industry circles, emphasized strategic wealth-building over reliance on streaming royalties and show fees. “I started planning my exit from day one,” he added. “Every kobo from music gets reinvested. That’s the difference between artists who fade and those who flourish.”

Spyro’s breakout single continues to dominate charts, but the 28-year-old entrepreneur is already eyeing global expansion for his non-music brands. “Watch this space,” he teased.

Spyro is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and serial entrepreneur signed to Tap Music. With over 500 million streams worldwide, he is redefining artist-CEO success in African music.

Nadia Nakai Fires Back with “Really” Featuring Nasty C: A Defiant Anthem Dropping This Friday

 Award-winning rapper and Family Tree queen Nadia Nakai is set to silence the noise with her explosive new single “Really” featuring fellow South African rap titan Nasty C, releasing Friday, November 21, 2025, across all digital platforms.

The hard-hitting track, produced by Gemini Major, serves as a bold, unapologetic response to months of online criticism, industry shade, and personal attacks Nakai has faced following her high-profile breakup, label transitions, and public mourning of late partner AKA.

“They talked, I listened. Now I’m answering,” Nakai declared in a raw studio video posted to Instagram at midnight. “‘Really’ is for every woman who’s been counted out, disrespected, or told to stay quiet. I’m not fragile. I’m focused. And this is just the beginning.”

The collaboration reunites two of Africa’s sharpest lyricists—Nakai, known for her fierce delivery and unfiltered truth, and Nasty C, the Ivyson general celebrated for his technical precision and global appeal. Early previews reveal a trap-infused beat layered with cinematic strings, scathing bars, and a hook that’s already trending on TikTok under #ReallyChallenge.

Key Lyrics Tease:

“You said I’d fall off—really? / Still standing tall—really? / Lost love, kept the crown—really? / Watch me build an empire—really.”

Nasty C adds fuel with a viral verse:

“They threw dirt, she grew roots / Now the fruit too sweet to dispute.”

“This Is the Happy Ending I’ve Always Wanted” - Lady Gaga Opens Up About Long-Held Dreams of Motherhood and Intimate Wedding Plans with Fiancé Michael Polansky:

 Global superstar Lady Gaga has shared an emotional and deeply personal glimpse into her future, revealing her profound desire to become a mother and the couple’s vision for a heartfelt, intimate wedding with longtime fiancé Michael Polansky. In a candid new cover story with Rolling Stone, the 39-year-old icon reflects on how Polansky, 42, has become her rock, transforming her life and paving the way for the family she’s always dreamed of.

The revelations come amid Gaga’s whirlwind promotion for her latest album, Mayhem, and her ongoing Mayhem Tour, which wraps in mid-April 2026. Yet, even as she dominates stages worldwide, Gaga’s heart is set on building a legacy beyond the spotlight—one rooted in love, creativity, and parenthood.

“Being a mom is the thing I want the most,” Gaga shared in the interview, her voice brimming with vulnerability and excitement. “Michael and I have talked about this for years. He’ll be a beautiful father—patient, kind, and endlessly creative, just like he is with me. We’re not waiting around; this is happening soon. It feels like the perfect next chapter after everything we’ve built together.”

The couple, who began dating in late 2019 after being introduced by Gaga’s mother, got engaged in April 2024 during a quiet hike in Malibu. Polansky, a tech entrepreneur and CEO of the Parker Foundation, proposed with a custom ring featuring a conflict-free diamond sourced from ethical mines—a nod to Gaga’s advocacy for sustainability and social justice. Their bond deepened through co-writing the poignant track “Blade of Grass” on Mayhem, a song born from their engagement that explores themes of enduring love and new beginnings.

Intimate Wedding Vibes: “We Already Feel Married”

Turning to their nuptials, Polansky revealed that wedding planning has become a joyful daily ritual. “We’re talking about it all the time,” he said. “We have these breaks in the tour, and they’re tempting dates for us. We don’t want a really big wedding, but we want to enjoy it. In a lot of ways, we already feel married, so it’s not like it’s gonna change much. It’ll be small, meaningful—surrounded by our closest friends, family, and maybe a few Little Monsters who’ve been with us from the start.”

Gaga echoed the sentiment, envisioning a ceremony that blends romance with her signature flair: “Think coastal sunset in Malibu, soft acoustic sets, and vows that feel like a love song. No extravagance, just us, celebrating the quiet magic we’ve found.” Sources close to the pair hint at a potential spring 2026 tie-the-knot, possibly dovetailing with tour hiatuses, followed swiftly by family expansion.

A New Era of Love and Legacy

Gaga’s openness about motherhood marks a poignant evolution for the artist, who has long championed mental health and LGBTQ+ rights. Prior to Polansky, she navigated personal struggles, but their partnership has been a beacon of stability. “He walked into my life when I needed him most,” she reflected. “Now, we’re ready to create a home filled with laughter, music, and little feet running around. Our nursery plans? Gender-neutral, inclusive designs—because love doesn’t come in boxes.”

The couple draws inspiration from Gaga’s godchildren, Elton John and David Furnish’s sons Zachary and Elijah, who have thrived despite their parents’ fame. “Their kids have turned out to be very happy,” Polansky noted. “That gives us hope—we’ll protect our family fiercely, but we won’t hide from the world.”

As Gaga prepares to headline major festivals in 2026, including a rumored Coachella slot, fans are buzzing with support for her personal milestones. “This is the happy ending I’ve always wanted,” she concluded. “Not the end of my story, but the heart of it.”

Seemah Mangolwane Issues Public Apology to DJ Zinhle Over “Dog” Remark About Mörda

 South African influencer and reality TV personality Seemah Mangolwane has issued a formal public apology to music icon DJ Zinhle following a controversial social media comment in which she referred to DJ Zinhle’s husband, producer Bongani “Mörda” Mahosana, as a “dog.”

The remark, made during a heated exchange on X (formerly Twitter) on November 14, 2025, stemmed from a discussion about co-parenting and public relationships. The post quickly went viral, sparking intense backlash from fans of both DJ Zinhle and Mörda, who have been celebrated as one of Africa’s power couples since tying the knot in a private ceremony earlier this year.

In a statement released via her verified Instagram and X accounts early this morning, Mangolwane expressed deep remorse:

“I sincerely and unreservedly apologize to DJ Zinhle, Mörda, and their beautiful family for my reckless and hurtful comment. Calling Mörda a ‘dog’ was disrespectful, immature, and beneath the values I stand for. There is no excuse for such language, especially toward a man who is a devoted father, husband, and artist.I allowed emotion to cloud my judgment, and I deeply regret the pain and division my words have caused. DJ Zinhle has always been a role model to me and many young women in South Africa. She didn’t deserve this.I am committed to doing better — in my words, actions, and how I engage online. I have reached out privately to DJ Zinhle and Mörda to make amends and hope they can accept this apology in the spirit it is given.”

Mangolwane also announced she will be deactivating her X account for 30 days to reflect and undergo digital wellness coaching, adding:

“Social media should build us up, not tear each other down. I’m taking this time to grow.”

DJ Zinhle has not yet responded publicly, but sources close to the Umlilo hitmaker say she is focused on family and her upcoming ERA by DJ Zinhle jewelry collection launch at Entertainment Week Africa 2025 in Lagos.

The incident has reignited conversations about accountability, mental health, and the responsibilities of influencers in Africa’s digital space.
